BattleBit has been in development for quite some time, and whilst we've wanted to strive for the hardcore community, we've noticed it's not a path that will help strengthen our community. We have decided that we will be transitioning from a hardcore perspective of the game to a more casual shooter. Now for those hardcore players... we're very sorry for the change but we will definitely help cater future updates towards both sides of the community as best as possible. A little sneak peak of some changes that will be made to the game are Attachment Unlocking for your Account instead of for each round of a match, Attachment Skins, Weapon Gadgets, Ranking System and so on. A lot of changes will be taking affect within Build 100.80 that will be used to reach more of a casual player base. A lot more information about these changes will be released but until then... here's our Update Notes for Build 100.80!

Thank you for Supporting BattleBit throughout the past year!
After two weeks worth of waiting, the new build is finally here!
Build 100.53.3.0 - BuildID 2296888
[FIXED]
'Apply' button is now functional. BitLog Mail Bug is fixed. BitLog adding same friend bug fixed. Loading bar when you load into the server is synced to what's going on behind the scene. 'Connecting' screen is synced to what's actually happening. A bug where you can spawn at the enemy's bases is gone, hopefully. Double spawn fixed. Double Same Player At Scoreboard fixed. English.lang has been revised, thanks to our handsome Moderator ErikzWaffle! Spawning at the end of the map at spawn fixed (probably fixed?) RPG-7 no longer fires when you're in menus. Binoculars UI being persistant after switching equipments is no more. Latency when syncing messages on server side when you die is eliminated. Rally points (RP) no longer make you fly. Friendly icon now shows everytime. Friendly icon now fades. Terrain impact particles now display properly. Optics materials re-done. Scopes now work properly with DeepSky Haze.
[ADDED]
VoIP added! Took Oki 10 tries though. 'B' to chat in squad via radio, 'Caps Lock' to chat locally, meaning you can be heard in certain distance radius by anyone. VoIP indicator included. New map: Sandy Sunset, 4km² lush hills. UTF-8 is now supported. This means more characters (and thus languages) support! You will now see your cursor right after you die. 1 weapon point to start everyone off with at the start of the round (experimental)
[REWORKED]
Master Server database has been remastered. New main menu! New intro screen! Optics now work the same way as the iron sights (hold 'Shift' to zoom). Bearing compass HUD is now bigger. Lads with lower resolution screens can read properly, finally. Only one Recon class per squad allowed, from two. Class points req. are decreased. (Details to be updated) You can no longer use the Squad Menu when you're swimming or incapcacitated. TCP timeout is now 60 seconds, so you won't get that pesky 'Connection Lost' screen as much anymore. Wakistan and Basra have been updated. New friendly icons on map.

Remember that this will be Alpha version and servers might not be up 24/7.

I will be making a new forum post so that we can continue on with the discussion there.
