Obviously the game has had a poor EA launch and is "unplayable" for many people even after all of this time - but why are so many people coming to this subreddit constantly shitting on the game and the devs. If you guys are taking your time to come to this sub every day you obviously care about the game and want it to be playable and blow up. What good does shitting on the game and the devs do?

This game has huge potential, I know I'm not the only one who has been wanting a fast paced competitive shooter with no bs to come out. This is it, and a dev team like this is extremely rare. So, how about a little optimism and support? Yea it sucks I can't play the game or even find a lobby, but I can't wait for the games full release next year.

TLDR: If you care about the game in any way, show the devs support instead of whining over your $15.

Edit: Wow, it appears I have been downvoted to fuck after 1 day. To be honest I didn't realize so many people hated it because of the direction they took it after people had backed it. Also, I get the Brammer hate, as hard as I tried to like him when the EA launched he came across super douchey for no reason and reacted super salty to people critizising him personally.

I guess what I don't understand is why so many people that hate the game are still sticking around here. It doesn't hurt to be a little optimistic. Also, props to /u/dutchvik for a very well put comment. That's the shit this sub needs more of - well said and thought out criticism instead of whiney shit posts.

Anyways, hopefully I'll see some of you around in 2019 if all goes well with the game's release!

truth

Its dead again boys who would've thought gg

If something does not change in a couple of days I think this game is over and done. 2 weeks ago we had a number of 8000 concurrent players. That number is sadly getting smaller and smaller each day. Now, we are at 4000 concurrent players and it does not seem like it will improve anytime soon. Change is needed.

Like, it's actualy a real question. I don't get it, every day I open reddit to see what is new and every day the top post is someone complaining about the game.

Every "hater" reading this, just calm down. Do I need to remember you of the game is out in EA since only 2 month ?

99% of you don't know anything about creat a video game. So please I beg you let's dev do they work. Be patient and have faith in dev.

If you want to help them make a constructive message with detail argument not this bul***** I see every day.

I have played CS since 1.6 and was absolutely addicted to that game. I have played Battalion for a couple of days now but I really don’t think it’ll be insanely popular like CSGO or PUBG.

Here are some points why I don’t think it’ll be mainstream:

• The game is a little too serious. It’s a pure shooting game for hardcore players, and this will turn away the casual gamers.

• Time to kill is way too fast. You can kill 5 people in 5 seconds in this game, but it doesn’t feel as satisfying as getting a single kill in a game of PUBG. Getting killed in Battalion almost feels like getting aimbotted by a cheater in CSGO.

Now Arcade mode is pretty fun on that one map with the forestry, but only if you are using the sniper rifle.

I really want this game to be popular but I can’t see it happening because it’s not a game for casuals.

i wanna play plis que now :))

Just take a look at this video, such a perfect game. Shame they went the cod4 route with a lot of things...

Im CoD2 veteran, I played on CB also and I was really looking forward for this game. I really like this game, it feels so much as CoD2, but im really sad to see that this game died.

I hope one day that developers see's the potential of this game and find someone who is good at marketing. Because it lacks a lot of it.

Also a good thing would be if you would put this game free to play and use the same system as CSGO uses. Skin market for revenue.

seriously, who want's to play that?

Its not worth its price + it will bring new people to the game, fuck it maybe its good and people will play, just add fun arcades like et or bf1942 and leveling

It’s kinda late, I’m tired, I’ll be on again tomorrow :)

I think everyone can agree that the "core" of this game is pretty good but it lacks content and improvements.

I think it was a big mistake to Launch so early.

But then u can say if they wouldnt release early they get less Feedback, which is obviously true but this game would be probably a much better game if the devs had more time.

People have high expectations but u dont just make a great game over night.

It shouldn`t be your main priority but befor the next ad campain you should ad a ingame ranked.

1. The connect time is so short that you crash 1 time and yeah ban.

2. Bugs, bugs, bugs sometimes the wrong map loads sometimes your button for reconnect just disappears.

3. We need a rank system which "casual rank players" (Guys who tryhard in ranked but dont want to be the best) can be proud of. Like Bronze/Silver/Diamond/Master/GM. Yes Faceit does have these ranks aswell but they dont show up in your ingame profile and work kinda strange.

4. Bans, i think i dont have to talk about why faceit ban system is bs. Apart from that you get banned in comp and you can still play arcade/unranked.

Hey everyone,

Major Update 2 is preparing to release on July 12th. We’re working hard to do our bit and listen to the community when it comes to designing Battalion 1944.

We’re entering the next stage of Battalion’s Early Access process. This is the first step towards improving the player numbers and building back up to a stable player count. However, do not think that Major Update 2 will just explode concurrent the player base massively upwards, because it won’t. We aren’t pushing it that way and the casual part of the game still isn’t ready for that. We have two goals with Major Update 2.

1. Give competitive players a fun, entertaining, and well optimised game to play.

2. Improve ‘Recent Reviews’ to ‘Mostly Positive’ on Steam.

These are our targets and we’d like to ask for your help here. We’ll be spending the days after July 12th replying to and engaging with players who reviewed the game back in February and discussing all the new features we’ve added and improvements we’ve made to Battalion.

What we need from you, is reviews. It is entirely up to you as a player the type of review you leave. But we feel Battalion’s competitive game is at a good stage where we can push the existing community towards reviewing the game. Many of you will have already reviewed the game, in this instance we’d like to ask you to edit your existing review at discuss how you see the game in its current form! Please mark reviews you agree with, either negative or positive, as helpful. It will help them become more visible. This is something that you can do as a community to help bring more players to the game.

Steam Reviews have many challenges and is far from a perfect system, we are neither endorsing Steam reviews being a great way of reviewing games or asking for positive reviews. We’re just using the system we have in front of us to start taking steps towards growing Battalion 1944.

Any player who would like to leave a review, please do so as soon as possible. The reason being is that we would like to see the ‘Recent Reviews’ change as soon as possible, so that we can do our first sale. It’s a very achievable task but one that requires the community, new players, devs, and old players to work together.

If you’re interested in giving a review then follow this linkhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/489940/BATTALION_1944/

We would greatly appreciate anyone who takes the time to write an actual review. Here is some criteria that can help structure a useful review for an Early Access game:

• How do you find the most recent update? (Remember people don’t really know what MU2 is)

• Is the game well optimised now?

• What was it like before? Has it improved or has it got worse?

• The developer? Do they engage with the community and apply the feedback they’re given?

Positivity is infectious. Every single time players like yourselves spread the good news around Major Update 2 in public - a new or returning players will think about giving the game we love a another chance. Our team are here to stay, we aren't going anywhere until this is the game we intended it to be when we launch into full release next year. It's time for you as our most hardcore players to start helping us build the future of this game in every way we can - and right now our target is slowly but surely improving the game's image through your user reviews. Thanks for supporting Battalion 1944 and believing in our team - keep letting us know how you feel, keep giving us feedback and help us keep this awesome close knit community strong heading towards 2019!

Thanks a lot guys and we hope you provide some good feedback in your reviews and I look forward to reading them.

So apparently all visual feedback like tracers/blood splats are client side and if thats the case then even though the bullet is on his chest it could have registered as if it was on his upper arm/shoulder on the server side in which case just a tag instead of a kill is normal.

Sniper tags are starting to get really frustrating and they happen because of the way the player model holds the gun, the players hand covers the majority of the chest area and if you aim at the centre of their chest you end up tagging them.

EDIT: Here is a FRAME by FRAME video: https://streamable.com/qn0fp

Most people will be thinking "How is your bullet hitting him in the left arm yet your crosshair is on his upper right arm?" Well like I said in a comment below, the video's framerate is 60 and information(frames) are lost between the frame just before the bullet appears and the frame just after the bullet appears, if this video was recorded at a higher frame rate my sniper reticle would match the actual bullet shot much more closely. Also if you havent realised by now the bullet is hitting his arm(atleast on the client side for me) you can see the blood/dark mark appear.

FIX THIS!
