Indiefields: Battlefield-Like EA-Dislike

66 readers

A community for indie games in the vein of battlefield. Large maps with dispersed objectives that you can utilize vehicles with teammates to gain the upperhand in combined arms battles. Gameplay does NOT have to be exclusively modes with vehicles, it only matters that the game has a mode with vehicles that is a primary part of the game.

The Failure of BattleBit Remastered (youtu.be)

The linked video explains what happened with BattleBit Remastered. The TLDW is that it's stuck in eternal early-access because of feature creep and the devs not being able to use version control system (e.g. git) properly, so they cannot release smaller patches and bug fixes.

I haven't actually played Battlebit yet. I watched some gameplay on Youtube and added it to my wishlist. I wonder if it's worth buying – it's still being played by ~1000 people.

Even if they did release, the way they redid maps like Basra and the proposed Waki rework didn't give me hope that the devs fully understood what made the game fun.

Yeah, the video mentions that they started with a milsim, then it turned into a battlefield-like. They do not seem to have a clear vision for the game.
