Gaming Star Wars: Battlefront (2015) & Battlefront 2 (2017) [Mod Approved]

If Dice is to work on Battlefront 3, EA needs to suck it up and give them 3-5 years to develop the next entry. They can't rush a massive multiplayer Star Wars game like this to market again. It clearly shows in the quality of both Battlefront 1 and 2 how unfinished and threadbare they are. There's a LOT of work to be done to salvage the player/consumer relationship. I imagine they have to know that after their talking to by Disney, but still. Let's hope the message stuck.

 

I'm of two minds about that. While it does take me out of the game a bit seeing heroes in eras they shouldn't be in, I play as Iden, Han or Finn whenever I can because they're the only heroes I'm good with so limiting them would be a bit annoying.

 

Well there are some heroes that could span across multiple eras (i.e Chewie, to a lesser degree Han and Yoda). Iden/Rey are my mains; but of course I'd compromise with others depending on the era if they went that route.

 

Honestly, with as small as the roster is in this game, limiting hero choice even further sounds like a bad idea.

 

Well I assume they'll be expanding the roster eventually. If you think about it, up until this point, the only new heroes introduced between both BF 2015 and BF 2017 have been Jyn, Krennic, Rey, Kylo, and Iden.

 

Add this glitch to the list..

game won't let you spawn In at times. Countdown clock will go to zero and you will go back to class menu..

 

Add Finn and Phasma to that list. And I really hope they do. They have several character from BF1 that still haven't made the jump, which is kind of shocking. I miss Jyn.

 

Yep, this is one I ran into last night. I was playing Strike with a friend who got the game recently. Lots of fun matches, but this glitch was nasty when it showed up. We ended up being farmed by the other team where we spawned, since we couldn't do that reliably.

 

I've experienced two spawning glitches recently.

The one you've described, where it counts down and instead of spawning into the game you return to the class selection menu, have to select again, and count down again.

Worse though is I've gotten stuck on the countdown screen. There's no actual countdown, just the screen. You can hear some gameplay audio, but not spawn or return to the previous menu. And the respawn feature is greyed out in options. Basically you have to just turn the game off and restart.

 

Sad it takes months yo fix these glitches

 

Worse yet is that many will likely never be fixed. Just like BF 2015.

Don't know if you follow the BF Reddit, but if you do you likely know that recently a person made a post describing a very loose "roadmap" of what was coming in the next few months. Now of course always take rumors with a grain of salt. But, and big BUT, this person was 100% accurate regarding what content was coming for the Solo season.

So that said I'm inclined to give some benefit of the doubt the them on their other disclosures. One of which being there are many bugs the devs are aware of, but have no idea how to fix. They also have no plans to fix them or even try banking on the fact that like BF 2015, people will eventually just stop asking after a while. Lol... No kidding!

I encourage anyone who hasn't read that reddit post to head to the Battlefront Reddit and check it out.

 

Another round of Strike, another get breaking glitch. It's impossible to play this mode if you can't see the package on the map. This game is TRASH.

 

I went to a book signing with Ashley Eckstein last night, and it was on the tip of my tongue to ask her if there was a possibility she'd voice Ahsoka for BF2; but I didn't. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

 

OoOOooo lucky. I love Ashley. That's cool you had a chance to meet her.

 

I posted pictures in the Ahsoka thread of the TV forums.

 

Well encountered a new glitch today. On endor in HvV the enemy Boba could get above the map. Lovely.

 

Isn't that what he could always do with the jetpack?

 

This problem came back? I thought this stuff was fixed months ago!

 

If he could it's never happened to me before. There were two boba's and a bossk that just sat up at the top of the map the whole match. It was incredibly frustrating. You don't get anything for winning, so I don't know why they'd bother. Finishing a match with like a couple hundred in score with the other team quitting out seems like a waste of time to me.

 

Oh well I'll vouch for that. I've been involved in games where teammates just quit.

 

Just played the worst match of strike ever. Spawning was all screwed up. Repeated glitch where the 10 second count down would happen, but rather than spawn into the game, you go back to class selection. But the new thing was it would happen 3 times in a row before you actually spawned into the game. So 30 plus seconds to get back in rather than 10. Then when you did spawn it was right into the middle of the other teams crossfire. Game was not compensating for their advance to our forward spawn point. So you had zero chance, then back to the spawn glitch.

Worst Star Wars game in history.

 

They need to just get rid of the spawn countdown.. It's pointless.. waste of time to spawn with someone.. No benefit at all..

 

You mean just spawn immediately after you die? I'd imagine then you'd really get some never-ending matches.

 

How so?

 

Well it's as if no one ever really dies. If one side is slaughtering another, they should get an edge to completing their objective.
