In my opinion, the true soul of BattleBit Remastered lies in its mix of about 80% FPS gameplay and 20% fun, unexpected moments. It’s a fast-paced and agile game by nature. While the playtest had strong points—such as sound design and explosions—I feel that the current TTK, the difficulty in spotting enemies, the heavy use of tracers, and even having everything strictly in English (for those of us playing from other countries) push the game toward a level of realism that goes beyond what many of us are actually looking for.
From my perspective, keeping the community active and engaged doesn’t necessarily require major structural changes. Simply adjusting weapon damage and fire rates from time to time would already be enough to shift the meta and keep the game feeling fresh.
That said, if the long-term vision is to lean more heavily into realism, then my ideas to strengthen that “20% fun side” of BattleBit may not fully align with that direction. Still, I’ll leave them here to see what others think.
I imagine a version of BattleBit where, during Christmas, you might see a tank wearing a Santa hat, one or two houses with Christmas decorations, a hidden Santa Claus somewhere on the map, helicopters leaving festive trails, light armored vehicles with stockings on the sides, one or two decorated Christmas trees per map, airdrops shaped like presents, the pickaxe reskinned as a candy cane, or the anti-grenade gadget shaped like a small Christmas tree, and similar touches.
