BattleBit Remastered is good fun but anti-cheat for Steam Deck & Linux is concerning

Totally besides the point of the article, but…
„Clearly people were after a Battlefield-like that isn't from EA“.
Clear sign that the author hasn’t played the game yet. It’s not even close to Battlefield. It plays and feels totally different. The only thing that is similar is that there are classes and there is „Battle“ in the name.
To be fair: „large scale multiplayer FPS combat with vehicles“ DOES kinda describe Battlefield. Are there differences? Obviously yes. Are the also comparable? Also obviously yes. It’s not like they are comparing Battlefield to Hearts of Iron or something…
Also when you throw in squads, classes and destruction, it starts to look more and more like Battlefield -- not that that's a bad thing.
It has similarities, but it's very clearly a child of Squad imo; The focus on team cohesion, squad based tactics and the low ttk all say so. The level designer was a Squad fan themself. The fact it's working on a mil-sim mode is funny to me, because it's already pretty squad like so I am interested in how much more they cna do with it.
It feels like a mix of Squad with Call of Duty tbh. at least based on how it’s played on public servers. It’s noticeable that it’s squad inspired, but at the same time it’s more played like a fast round of call of duty. Which is a super weird mix.
I like the game for its price point and being able to hop in with my guys but I find the mix of ‘difficulty’ elements very jarring.
We’re hopping through windows, killing people with smgs, the next we’re slow reloading, combining mags and bandaging.
I’m sure they’ll change course via feedback but I feel like the game is in a weird place.
Still…..fucker is made by 3 people and is cheap as chips. I let the others do the killing while I smoke and heal the house down 🫡
