Which one do i purchase, first time playing both BF2042 or Battlebit?

I only want to buy one and there both around £12 at the moment.

Which one do you think, can anybody offer advice on both games?

Thanks

I've put equal hours into both and my money would be going on battlebit.

2042 - looks pretty but is hollow and unsatisfying in almost every metric of what makes a decent battlefield game.
Battlebit - opposite of the above.

Battlebit if you like games, 2042 if you like memes.

Battlebit for sure seems to have the more positive experience.

Battlebit is definitely the most enjoyable of the two.

Thanks guys last night i got 2042 on origin (24 hour refund) played it and although good in its own right i think bf4 is much better game so i got it refunded and went for battlebit on steam. Firing it up now. Cheers

Yeah BF4 is definitely the best battlefield game ever made and also BF2.

I refunded Battlebit. The principle is sound but it's far too rough at the moment. The sound design in particular makes me die a little inside every time I shoot. I hope they polish it up a bit and make the core shooting mechanics feel better, as the macro game flow is really solid.

Battlebit does a better job of feeling like a Battlefield game than 2042 does.

I like both.

I play both.

What's wrong with the sounds? I mean they're not Hollywood movie invoking, but they go bang like guns should. I find the gunplay feels satisfyingly impactful too. A couple of shots up close is normally all it takes to take someone out, as opposed to being bullet sponges with regenning health, and burst firing really makes a difference for mid-longer range shots.

Goes bang?

Gun fights sound like a spider tap-dancing.
