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

After playing some horribly unfun games trying to get back into the main menu and get once again the infinite black screen .

 

PS4. The servers were better last time I played just now. Overall I’m liking the game and it’s a fun SW experience. I wish we could choose maps though.

 

I have multiple times on ps4 since they implemented that new matchmaking test a week or so ago. I'm not sure if the test is still going on. But for whatever reason I've been placed in empty lobbies, or lobbies without enough players to start a match at least once per session.

 

I dig how they implement the classic heroes in the solo campaign (Luke, Leia and Han). It really adds something to the saga even if it’s just a video game. Luke hunting for relics and being a wise and powerful young man. Leia on her mother’s home world leading troops. Han with a beard and chilling with Maz. It builds a bridge to the ST in subtle but satisfying ways.

 

Well after struggling to fix BF2 on PC I decided to just boot up my PS4 copy. First time I’ve played in months. As buggy and neglected as this game is...god I love it. Extraction on Kessel is awesome. Crait is back in rotation apparently so hopefully I can get a game tomorrow.

 

Played as Maul and Kylo earlier. Love them both. Implementing all the eras into these games should be a requirement.

 

All eras is nice as an option. I enjoy all the eras of SW, so playing in them is cool.

However cross era in a is disturbing and immersion breaking to me. I hate seeing Kylo Ren surrounded by Federation battle droids carrying Rebellion blasters while they storm Geonosis and obliterate Clone Troopers carrying Resistance blasters led by Rey and OT Lando.

 

Honestly I want them to lean into cross era stuff. I loved the two cross era missions in the story mode for BFII, and would love to be able to select that whenever I want

 

I never bought the game. After seeing Solo I was a little interested. There was so much cool stuff in the movie. The train heist or the trenches of Mimban all would've been so fun to play. If BF2 had those I might've bought it. But nope- just Kessel, one of the most boring scenes in the movie. I'll pass.

 

How would they have recreated the train heist scene in a Multiplayer map? It's not like it was a huge battle with dozens of soldiers on either side.

 

Cross era in the campaign was on purpose to create cohesion in the story to the movies, books, etc.

Cross era in mp is because the game was rushed to market. And when it arrived it was such a cluster F the devs wound up spending all their time fixing bugs and balancing the game rather than implementing enough heroes to have era correct game play.

They blather about Canon mattering as the reason why character customization is limited. Yet have Darth Maul running around on Jakku fighting Alden Han.

 

I dunno. There was a (og)BFII mod that had a train map. It worked really well. An actual heist probably wouldn't work, but a simple train map would make for a fun battle.

 

I agree that the canon excuse for a lack of customization is obnoxious, but I still feel like at the very least the option (even if just in arcade) should be there to do cross era battles.

 

Sad people on yt act like this little patch is a big drop..

 

Well, either the patch screwed up credits earned in some way, or they have decided to be very skimpy with credits to funnel players toward crystals.

 

There's something about it in the "Known issues" section of the patch notes. On the End-of-Round screen, the credits you've earned doesn't include the bonus you would get from being on the winning team. You should be getting the right sum in any case. I'm not sure if that's all there's to it, though, as someone on Reddit said they got only 75 credits and were the top player on their team. If you add a hundred credits to that from the victory, the number seems pretty low still.

I also looked at the daily milestone objective thing, and they all seemed to be giving 500 credits now. It's been 1000 credits before as far as I can remember, so the drop is noticeable (not that 500 credits is particularly much in this or that direction). I haven't seen any statements about reducing those rewards either.

Clearly there's something going on with the credits across the board. I was sort of hoping they would actually increase it some... For example, that daily crate as it has been so far, is pretty silly.

 

Came to say the exact same thing. This is insane .not even getting half of what i was..

 

lololol

 

Another example of fix one thing, break couple others. These are professional devs??

 

I played the Heroes ships mode for the first time tonight and stunk at it. Was Slave 1 first then Iden's TIE. It's not fun when you're flying around trying to chase enemies and everything's a blur for the entire round. Maybe if they offered an offline "practice" mode in Arcade I could get more used to the ships and find my favorite Main.

 

Technically there already is a practice mode in Arcade. Just use the toggles to go to Starfighter TDM [or whatever they called it] and turn the battle point system to free-for-all or heroes only. The enemy fighters will still be normal ships, but it gives a good change to get the feel for the hero ships. Or you could go Starfighter Onslaught if you want a challenge.

 

Considering I hardly ever get to use the hero ships I'll go with the "practice" mode in Arcade.

 

Who is everyone’s favourite character to play as? Myself, I always enjoy Kylo. Yoda is pretty fun too.

 

Maul. Always Maul.
