#Focus Your Game

I've noticed the game has started testing a variety of modes and player sizes. This is a mistake. For an indie game to truly compete and excel, it needs to focus. You aren't going to brute force your way past Activision's Call of Duty or EA's Battlefield, so don't try.

Instead, specialize and do one thing (or a smaller set of things) better than them.

Right now, large-scale warfare differentiates you. You are the only game to hit those player count numbers. Lean into that. Get your vehicles sorted. Add planes, VTOLs, etc. Tweak your maps to flow better, and allow for those larger player numbers. Increase squad cohesion mechanics, and get rid of the lone soldier shit.

Forget 32v32. Forget 64v64. Forget Rush, Gun Game, CTF, and all the other modes that will only water down what makes your game special.

There's still potential here but it will evaporate if you start chasing the competition.

Squad cohesion is the biggest shit they need to tweak

Also, PlanetSide 1 & 2 over 1000 players per map, so not the only game to have high numbers

I get ridiculed around here for having the opinion that 127v127 is the entire reason most of us are here

#

idk why anyone would play 32v32 when they can litterly play battlefield at any moment they choose

#

127v127 needs domination

#

They just have to smoothen some maps out because there's a few situations you get into and you can't even flank the enemy because it's all on a hill, it gets frustrating on 127v127 when you're all clumped up and you're getting shot from the most bizarre of places.

#

Basically like irl dday

whole oasis
#

game is already better than battlefield

#

also don't want to play a game where I hate to play an older game

@eager zephyr any mode from bbr is actualy better than bf. The reason people would play small size games are for more "competitive and organized game" .

You can't compare a triple A game from 2013 to this roblox style blocky fps rip off that is fun cuz you like 127v127

#

First of all theres no air vehicles, point system sucks ass, all there is going for this is 127v127

this suggestion started off well in the first paragraph and then very rapidly stopped making sense

#

going schizomode with a bunch of weird game modes isn't optimal but the core of BB is extremely solid, even at multiple different playercounts

#

the scope as outlined already (helicopters being, as I understand it, the only air vehicles) is also great

#

what BB has is an extremely fun model of enhanced infantry fighting with a smattering of land-based vehicles and future air transport planned, this is optimal for keeping things in a level where no player is completely untouchable and every threat can realistically be addressed

@wind storm well you cant compare on a graphic level, but the core gameplay and mecanism of the game is superior to triple a games. Bbr is at level that it only need tweaking...better point system, toning the hud and small details for clarity of the gameplay.

#

I'm not just talking about graphics, core gameplay never sucked in any of the bf titles (not talking about bf2042) this game is going good for best optimization for low end pcs and a fun game in 2023

@wind storm you clearly undervaluing the potential of bbr gameplay wise. This game as the potential to be a long lasting game that isnt fading away.

Gameplay wise and from a game mechanic level its a solid.

bf4 have a solid gungame mecanic. Cant say that for the rest of the series that been out.

If you took parts of playtest and your active in this discord and you came to realisation that this game is going to be a" fun " game for 2023 your missing something or you need re evaluate whats a good fundamental game is cause your delusional by those "triple A" games that are coming out every year with that samebullshit gameplay and flashy new content and graphics".

The game itself and the community that will be created, this game as the potential to last a decade.

Also side note. Game was produced by just only a couple of developpers that need credit and will surely attract alot of suiters to work for them triple A companys.

Im gonna agree with heisen here, new BF and CoD titles are arcady at best, BF2042 was a flop. So few pure shooters out today, plenty of playerbase whos never gonna touch em tripple a games

#

cod is so full of hacks, same with BF and tarkov

wind storm
#

Last bf I enjoyed was probably bf5, many people hated it but after 2042 it got the love it deserved, even if they left out the russians

#

Probably the last good bf we will ever see

little briar
#

a pure simple shooter with random gameplay and gamemodes, plenty of people want the good ol times, 1 man army with perks is boring and people meta right out the game

#

capture the flag, such great times in delta force and team saber, hell even joint ops was awesome

wary hollow
#

class-based large-scale shooter, BB fills a gap that nobody else really fills these days and most importantly it's extremely fun to play

little briar
#

aye, 100% agree

#

maybe slow it down a bit and focus on squad game play, OR leave it as is and ill adapt

#

Oh and to brute force your way past EA with bf2042 you will have to spend 2b dollars in value haha

wind storm
#

This game is already better than 2042

little briar
#

In its own way, yes

#

having way more fun here, BUT glider wings in bf2042 is a huge W for movement and fun hehe

wind storm
#

Lets Just make a suggestion for wing gliders

little briar
#

nah lol

#

would be fun though to hunt armours but way to OP

wind storm

I mean theres barely any high ground to even use it to get off from
