    Has it gotten to the point as being as enjoyable as that one game 3 guys put together and released for a third of the cost?

    No?

    Waste of their time then, lol

      As much as i can enjoy battlebit, you arent giving battlefield enough credit

      The populations of the games at the current moment arent even that far off, Battlebit is at 8k, 2042 is at 5k+whatever the number plays on origin.

      Battlefield has a LONG history of always releasing in a shit start and getting better overtime. This trend has happened for the past several games (since after 3 I believe)

        No, I’m giving battlefield all the credit it’s current incarnation deserves:

        It is not as good as a game made by 3 guys on Unreal. I tried it again last week out of curiosity and it’s flat out not worth getting when BattleBit exists, in my opinion

        And a long history of releasing trash and getting to decent only proves the point, BattleBit actually started as an enjoyable and decently content filled product whereas battlefield you KNOW won’t next time it comes around

          The point is it’s playerbases are in a similar tier in size. Of course its your opinion that battlebit is better (and is mine too), but that doesnt stop the idea that there are plenty of people playing 2042 now (especially vs launch). I have a friend who has both games, but when hes playing alone, he more often boots up battlefield more often then battlebit, and he spends a LOT of time playing those games more tham the rest of his library.

            It is

            I didn’t realize how starved for a game like it I was until it dropped and I suddenly had hundreds of hours in it

            I used to really love battlefield, but even trying 2042 again after BattleBit released I just can’t go back

              I dumped a ton of hours into Battlefield 3, and the Bad Company games. Now in terms of BF, I mostly play Battlefield 1943. I tried 2042 but immediately hated it. They gutted the game of everything that made the series so good.

              Totally going to snatch this one, thanks!

              I used to play Urban Terror a ton back in the day. Not a massive game like BF and BattleBit but it’s a super fun shooter (and it’s free!).
