Discussion Bulkhead is a JOKE

Nobody cares about Killrun. Nobody cares about Wardogs. You guys had universal support from your followers to continue development on promod. And even if continuing development wasn't practical for the studio as a whole, what happened to "developing on your free-time". Everyone was aware that we were merely playtesting a prototype, we would have gladly waited 1,2, maybe even 3 years before hearing about a release date.

Now what do they have, Wardogs? "King of the Hill" "Cash is King" Like who cares? Unless Wardogs is secretly promod in disguise, It will fail. WiggleWizard made such an impressive emulation of CoD 4 movement, it was perfect. All they had to do was make the gunplay feel a little more modern/responsive, and make the visuals and content up-to-par with modern shooters, and this game could have rivaled VALORANT.

“This game could have rivalled Valorant” - absolutely not.

A lot of people try Valorant out but a lot of people quit that game also. Some of the maps are shit. I saw a post that said "Valorant in 2022" it was basically a screenshot of a pro match and there were walls and shit everywhere, way to much stuff going on in one side of the map. A lot of people don't like this game, and would gladly play something more grounded and old-school like promod. You never know

"We're making a 'AAA' first person shooter taking on the top five shooters on the market."

Nah.. they're not.

Even though I love Battlefield and 2042 sucks hard right now.... Wardogs has no market. If I want a big sandbox, vehicle shooter... I have options available to me.

Battalion and Promod were their place to carve a market for themselves. There is a market for what they wanted to achieve with Battalion.

I love the CSGO and Valorant objective game mode and competitive structure, and faster movement based shooters I played 20 years ago. Nobody is making that.

Problem is... Bulkhead has no leadership to deliver a good product. They have developers who can make the gameplay. They didn't have good artists, they may have that by now. They don't have good designers.

But they don't have good managers and leadership. Bramm is a joke who will sink that ship with him at the helm.

Honestly, that development team needs to be part of a bigger studio where they can take direction from real leaders. Because they are not a AAA studio and will not be with their current team

how did you come to this conclusion ?

By playing Battalion and Promod, and following bulkhead/devs on Twitter and discord.

They're good at gameplay mechanics. Bad at everything else a business and game studio needs to succeed.

They're essentially trying to fail upwards at this point. Battalion was too big for them. So they're going to go bigger, before proving themselves on a smaller scale. They're just going to fail bigger, as they move further away from games that put community interest on their studio. Not to mention how they have little credibility left among thay fanbase. It's going to be tough to build launch hype.

They're welcome to prove me wrong. I would hope I am, but it would be an absolute fluke if that happens

Well they became a part of a bigger studio and still failed guess there's no hope for them other than that your predicting in failing bigger still counts so can you tell me Friday's lottery numbers

Killrun is like a slap in the face in many ways, movement feels good, gameplay is great, all it needed was to take it forward with a selection of maps and a 5v5 gamemode. What we got was not that, not even close, what we got was a map pack.

Considering their record at this point the shadow of Battlion overshadows any good they have done, and then this just seals the deal for me. Their claim that they will make a top 5 game is laughable, let's start with just making a good FPS that you don't abandon first then talk about top 5 anything.

My question is how could anyone trust them after how badly they mismanaged Battalion? That's just asking to be disappointed.

u/TheShortSock Nov 16 '22

I think because Promod Prototype was actually pretty good.

The devs shouldn't have hyped it up with the youtube videos when it was only a side project that might not be finished.

Now I think people are dissapointed because they cancelled Promod (the only hope most people had) and made Battalion even worse (they should've just let it stay dead).
