Haven't played it yet, but I've heard BattleBit Remastered is pretty good. I think it might even have 128 v 128 as an option.

Graphics and visual style much different though.

Battlebit is kinda dead after the devs started work on a sound update, failed to separate their prod and Dev source branches, and then realized they couldn't make small changes without finishing the actually really big audio and everything else update first.

Also, battlebit is in a bit of a weird spot; it was made by the dev team as an arma/squad replacement for people without high tier setups, but was first published with more arcade elements than that initial start would have you expect it to have. There's been a couple rumors that the devs aren't happy with how arcadey the gameplay for it is.

It's fun for what it is, but there's not a whole lot of players on it lately, and future gameplay elements aren't guaranteed.

Big patch coming out soon to theoretically revive this game.

Uhh got a link? I loved the couple of weeks/months when it was really active.

The devs have only posted this:

But here's a dedicated fan talking about the unofficial contents of this patch:

They've given no date nor real details, so I'm not really here to defend them. But when people say it's dead, I think this should be included to give the whole picture - theoretically a massive overhaul is coming. Will it be enough? Idk. But there it is.
