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

One thing about the modes available in Battlefront, I can imagine players have favorite modes that they're most comfortable with. I gotta say Fighter Squadron is my favorite mode. Twice in a row I ranked highest in kill count, and another had the most damage to a transport vehicle.

 

I can't really say I'm disappointed by Star Wars Battlefront, because it delivers on so many points for me. The graphics, the sound, the action... it all reeks of Star Wars in a most satisfying way.

Even when I feel a bit weary about playing the same map for the third time in a row, it doesn't really get to me - because the action in the field is always so diverse; You may end up in a squad full of useless rebel scum, or you may end up surrounded by capable allies, who understand when and how to push forward. Sometimes I have a bad day where I can't even hit an AT-AT, sometimes I just fly to the top of the charts with an overwhelmingly positive K/D ratio. That's the charm of a game like this.

However, I am very curious as to what the announced DLC packages will contain and how they will affect the game. Especially the maps, because we basically need all the Star Wars planets we can get!

 

When EA pretty much announced it,oh and did i say sequel..i meant SEQUELS..thats plural...one each year..like the movies...I dont know about you ,but I feel this bodes poorly for the Star Wars license ,

Generic star wars IP products and movies vomited out at assembly belt speed until its not profitable anymore cause its so out of style its not even funny...nightmarish scenario
As for this game,I gave up playing it about the same time the self-rationed novelty of of the fighter mode petered out for me around december.

 

I know they've pretty much beaten down the possibility of The Force Awakens-era add-ons, but I am hopeful we'll see some content from the new movies beyond the Battle of Jakku, which doesn't quite count. I also really hope we get a Death Star trench run, and then hopefully a Starkiller Base assault for Fighter Squadron. It'd shake up those game modes - an attack/defend spin with starfighters.

 

I'd love to see a Death Star 2 run (above the battle of Endor). I think that would be ultra popular. Just picture the scenario: Empire vs. Rebellion in the space with the objective of either flying through to the center of the Death Star to blow it up from its core, or defending it. Probably just wishful thinking since I'm pretty sure they mentioned no space battles in this game.

 

Whenever I think of the current Battlefront iteration incorporating the Death Star run from ROTJ, all I can think of is George Lucas standing over the shoulder as I play saying, "faster, more intense" whenever I complain about the lack of strategy, hands-on navigation or pacing in the flight missions.

 

Again, I don't have that much of an issue with the flight mode (fighter squadron). I'm only suggesting that they could expand on it. Even make it a paid DLC. If done right, who wouldn't want to get it?

 

Actually, I think my days with Battlefront might be numbered once the post-Jakku DLC is launched because the only way I can "keep up" with the game is if I play every night for a certain number of hours I can get to the other unlockable weapons. Given that the DLC is going to include newer, and I assume more powerful, weapons the DLC seems licence seems like a pay to win scheme where (once again) the players who move through the game faster and unlock more DLC are the winners rather than those who explore the maps and continually practice.

 

In the worst case scenario, the newest weapons would be unlockable by raising the level cap from 50. Maybe at level 100 you'll be able to unlock a weapon with 100% damage, 100%, range, 100% rate of fire, and 100% cooling power.

 

SWTOR did this already!



It was free for all players too!


I am shocking at it but I know people who play it all the time.


I know, I know I shouldn't compare the games but it boggles me why the consoles haven't got such a game that has tonnes of content. If anyone knows of such a game then tell me.

My friend was showing me Fallout 4 and it looked okay but far too long and impossible to complete. It didn't look like a nice place to play in and seemed to be just walk here, walk there, collect more guns, kill more people and repeat.
If that is the best game available then I'm not sure what to do.

 

Just an FYI, I had bought a special PS4 bundle from Best buy in November that came with both Fallout 4 and Uncharted Collection, and I sold both games online immediately to put it towards Battlefront.

 

So I guess alongside the season pass expansions they are also releasing free DLC like star cards and maps like Jakku.

 

I'd love that, it would give me a reason to play fighter squadron.

My biggest problem with the current way it works is it's just a bunch of ships flying in a tight little swarm shooting at each other. It's pointless.

When I played the ship training mission, I was impressed. First you swooped though Beggers Canyon, then you confronted Tie Fighters. That was fun.

But then you play the actual game and there's no obstacles of any sort. No canyons, no meteor filed, no capital ships, no anything. Just a swarm of fighters in open space. Very lame imho.

 

So I recently purchased every unlock for weapons/ star cards and i think I am somewhere in the mid-30's level wise.

Honestly really enjoying the game (Thought I would be bored in a week), but enjoying the App even more. On top of the app always working, which the game doesn't ( EA servers seem to hate Cox internet) it kind of seems like more thought went into the apps combat mechanics than Battlefront.

I've also determined in my own head that DICE needs to work on their matchmaking ( Maybe ask Bungie?). I've never joined an even game, either my team gets wrecked or we are wrecking the enemy. I've never had a match that was even sort of close and inched out at the last second, across all the game types.

Still fun.

 

Battlefront sequels will not be annual like films. They said there'd be sequels, yes, but never they'd be yearly. Star Wars GAMES in general might be yearly, but not Battlefront itself.

The way I see it is Nov. 2017 will be the second one focusing on the prequels/TCW, or if their survey is anything to go by, maybe both periods mixed together. But November 2019 I bet is when Battlefront 3 will release and it'll be sequel trilogy focused. It'd tie in with Episode IX, which is releasing in May of that year, so they wouldn't have to worry about spoilers and could even tie it in with the Blu-ray release if it'll release around that time, kind of like BF2 did with the RotS DVD.

 

If that would be the case, the ONLY way I'd consider BF2 would be if TCW was included (and Ahsoka was obviously a playable character). Otherwise, a game based exclusively on the PT wouldn't get my money; sorry.

 

Just found this article. You've gotta admit the video is pretty funny.

Great stuff! Boba just can't catch a break.

I've been a bit quiet on the Battlefront.. er.. front, over Christmas and all that but I'm finally back on board this past week or two - I'm enjoying it as much as I always have but for the love of the force EA need to give an update re: the plans for future content, plus there are still some issues that are in desperate need of a patch almost two months out from release.

 

Wow! That looked super wicked!

I wholeheartedly agree that the silence surrounding the upcoming DLC is starting to get frustrating, especially with the recent anouncement regarding TFA in mind. While I really enjoy Battlefront as it is, the current volume of the game is not quite enough to convince me to rush recklessly into a purchase of the Season Pass. I need something more to go by than their own list of planned content.

 

There will be an update this month. And for the community event that was held, we did it with 1.2million hours. And our reward will come this month with the update, and it directly ties in with Han and Luke, and we're too look to Hoth for it. Everyone is assuming we're getting their Hoth gear for these heroes.

 

OP Vader, Epic Crossbow kills, Sick Force Pushes, Rebel scum, 64 killingstreak Han Solo! Watch now Episode #2 of SW battlefront Adventures!

 

You know what's amazing? I have yet to be killed in the game by a crossbow. I can see how people would say that's the cheapest weapon to have.

 

Has anyone managed to beat the Final Assault II siege on Base Command? The Master difficulty one? It's the only one I've not managed because every single trooper and vehicle is useless in it. I can only beat units using star cards and there's just not enough!
