BattleBit Remastered

iamgigglz · Jul 7, 2023

Anyone playing this? Seems to be blowing up right now and I'm keen to give it a go.

My only worry is ping times - are there local servers? What's the ping like? Does ping matter that much in the game?

lil_nap · Jul 7, 2023

I'm playing this. I have about 24 hours in this.
It's super fun though the ping can sometimes annoy you, I don't use the quick match system as it matches me up with games that have 220 ping. I use the Server browser and join games that have 180ms ping. I've heard that Exitlag can reduce this to 160ms.

For R210 is worth it the amount of times you might fire first but die. Sniping is super good and you kinda get used to it.

Tried it, its decent but I questioned how long it'll last. Seems like a game of the month and will be forgotten in a month ... so I refunded.

From what I could tell, no local servers, ping to EU wasn't terrible but I heard Jackfrags made a video about ping in Battlebit and apparently you're at quite a big advantage if you're local to the server (what I heard tho, didn't actually watch the video).

It looks super fun, and might scratch that Battlefield 4 itch that games haven't been able to give me for the last few years. It's just a pity about the ZA servers.

Might give it a go.

No local servers is a DOA from me unfortunately. I'd be keen to try it though if they do come around some day.

Yeah it looks like a fast, reflex-rewarding game so ping was a concern.

It's just a casual shooter, don't mind high ping it's very chaotic and priority is fun and not to dominant

Take advantage of that 2 hour Steam refund policy - easily within 2 hours you'll know if you like it or not.

I'd forgotten about this! The modern implementation of demo versions. RIP NAG cover discs...

I like it. I also bought it for a friend and we've been having fun just messing around and being shot to pieces by people who are actually good at the game

Kh9n · Jul 7, 2023

Fun game, been following it through their pre-release too. There will be community hosted servers allowed in the near future so hopefully that can lead to some local servers but on EU with around 170ms it is definitely more than playable. The Voice Comms are top tier and community is really awesome, highly recommend it especially for R210

Sold.

Well if anyone wants to group up for Battlebit just send me a msg please. Would be nice to have a solid squad of 8 defending or attacking a point

Oh and if you are still wondering about the latency, then dont. Just play the game and have fun kicking ass lol.

static · Jul 9, 2023

At the R200 price point, I deem it worthy if I play 2hrs +

I haven't noticed any issues with ping at around 180ms

P.s I see way more action playing 32v32 as almost all the games are rush

BlueCrayon · Jul 25, 2023

Alrightie so I bought this game on Sunday and it's honestly the most fun i've had in a shooter game in a while.

The ping really is hard to notice. Doesn't affect me at all, I average around 35 kills a game on the large scale conquest game mode.

I recommend buying it, and you do have the 2 hour refund window ( But the 2 hours feels like 5 minutes, game is really fun. And funny, put the voice chat on )

I played it and ended up refunding, but not becuase its a bad game. It may ahv been the map I played, but to me it was constant die respawn die respawn. Maybe I am not used to that paly style any more. Been playing battle royal shooters for some time now.

Whenever I watch youtubers play though it looks soooo fun!!! will probably give it a go again

BlueCrayon · Jul 26, 2023

I see that there is now an Africa server with a South African flag on it.

I tried to search for a game but a queue of 32 people or more need to search to start the server. I don't think the South Africans know about this, and i've run into so many while playing already.

Ex-Battlefield player here and I had a similar experience. Don’t hate me but I found the Roblox graphics very unflattering, just seemed childlike. Refunded.

Take a look here, from post #25 onwards:

Anyone from South Africa playing? :: BattleBit Remastered General

What's the ping like, is it fine? Thanks.

steamcommunity.com

Hate to break it to you, but even though the "Africa" region is listed there, there is NO latency indicator next to it, meaning there is no actual local data centre for Battlebit yet in ZA. But I suppose its only a matter of time seeing that they are working on community servers at present, it should not be long before we can at least start hosting our own (I hope).

I found the graphics rather refreshing. Love the simplistic nature. Very tempted to give it another go on a larger map.
Pkaying with friends would also make it more fun I'm sure. I originally tried it on my own

BearZA · Aug 16, 2023

Apparently, they are working on community servers, so hopefully, we can organize and play together with better ping... Soon

P3rad0X · Aug 21, 2023

I got you guys. You need to set the game to the community testing branch on steam. Server name: Za-Host Test Server password yvvnxc
This server will be up and down since its a community test server

Yup can confirm we currently have a 8v8 TDM server but barely any players

. Hopefully that changes when it is out of testing

P3rad0X · Aug 31, 2023

The community servers has been made public today, for now I have set it to 16v16 if we can fill it up then i can set the server to have a dynamic size. New server name: BattleBit ZA #1 you will find it on the server browser if you filter by ping and scroll to the bottom. For now the ping will show ? in the browser since there is no master ping server in south africa

I just saw it, it is beautiful... Much Appreciated sir. 28 ping

BearZA · Sep 1, 2023

Played on the ZA #1 server a bit tonight, definitely need some more players.

Puento · Sep 2, 2023

Tried connecting to the server but it just keeps loading? What could be the problem?

superrob · Sep 2, 2023

@Dw07u there's an SA server? How many players

Keep getting disconnected from the SA server. Anyone else managing to get connected? Other servers works fine.
