The environment/etc looks great, and the guns/vehicles look pretty darn solid (low poly yet still "detailed" if that makes sense), it's, to me, really just the very blocky characters that stand out as a bit "odd".

    The Situation that really Sold me the Game and the class was when I randomly joined a full Sniper Squad. We infiltrated behind einemy lines, Set Up at a Spot and harassed the enemy forces. As the only medic I was Always prone to Not get targeted and revived/healed constantly. While we did wipe in the end it took Up until 2min for Game end for the enemy to do so
    While our measurable Impact was relatively Low, our constand harassment forces the enemy to send a signifikant portions of their forces after US, that couldn't really get.

    Wish map rotation was random.
    Right now, some maps technically don’t exist so long as Wakistan, Frugis, Basra, Construction and/or Tensatown are available to vote.

    It's pretty based that these guys took multiple franchises community feedback of what they've been wanting for over 10+ years that main AAA studios just wouldn't do and they made a game based around the feedback and wants and it absolutely blew up... I hope the big game studios are paying attention

    The only thing i don't like about battlebit is scope glint and the camera panning to the person that killed you when you die. The only 2 mechanics from modern battlefield games that i wish they left in battlefield.

    It's funny to think that DICE's progressive apathy toward the player base over the years created the perfect environment for BB to kick ass. Kudos to the BB devs.

    Why is this game so popular?
    It goes against the modern gaming market strategy.
    It’s affordable.
    No battle-pass b/s.
    Skills & kills is all it takes to level up weapons.
    So many weapons, classes, and choices for everyone.

      Not to ruin you dreams but you really shouldn’t make an MMO as your first game. There have been countless examples of people trying exactly that over the years (and even getting funding) and it never really works out
      I would start with something else
