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

I'd be lucky to even survive a minute! Lol
I freakin HATE spawn killers. They shoot you out of the sky before you even have chance at piloting your starfighter

 

I'll be completely honest and say that I used to do that right before the a-wings had their hit boxes opened up. The rebels almost always had air superiority and the a-wings just tore up the ground troops. So, I used to hop into an interceptor and hit them right when they come out to contain air superiority for the empire. But now, I don't really care and just defend/attack objectives as a twi'lek and a scout trooper

 

Whenever I get killed off by an air vehicle on a ground assault game too quickly, I hit up my second hand of cards (on respawn) which includes the Ion Cannon and make it a personal objective to blow them out of the sky.

 

Had a great game today. 87 kills on what seemed to be a very even and long supremacy match. Tano should of been on my team

Any word on the update? I seen the heroes and I gotta say I'm very disappointed. I'm going to assume it's 2 new heroes every paid dlc. Because originally they said 4. But if 2 of those 4 are guys that have a combined 3 limes in the movies I'm going to be pissed.

 

Still only 4 for the season pass but they could add free heroes although no mention of that possibility so far.

Sigh...you ever have one of those sessions where you just can't get a win or good group regardless of changing modes etc? Have not won a round all arvo despite my best efforts.

 

That's a very impressive kill-count! I think the highest I've managed was around 35 kills or so.

I haven't read anything regarding the Heroes, but I mentioned something similiar earlier in the thread. I can't see DICE or EA being serious about having two of four extra Heroes be Greedo and Nunb. It just doesn't make sense, when there's an abundance of candidates for the Alliance: Lando, Chewbacca, Ben Kenobi, Yoda... even Ackbar would be more interesting that Nunb.

Greedo does make sense, especially on Tatooine, but only because the list of possible villains is much shorter than for the Alliance.

I know that feeling. Like when you are trying to claim a control point in Supremacy, and your team suddenly seems conspicuously absent... You're all alone, moving the camera around to avoid being taken by suprise... and then you get steamrolled by a bunch of Rebel scum.

It's an ugly situation that sometimes leaves me shouting at the screen in frustration: Requesting backup! Backup! You Idiots, BACKUP!

However, I had quite a blast in Turning Point today. My side was defending as the Empire on Endor, and the fire-fights at the first line of defense was quite intense. The first time I played the map, I was wondering why they had decided to place the control points in the tree huts, but I see now that it makes for some really interesting situations. A lot of "two steps forward, one step back", but that is more or less the beauty of those modes.... you can feel how the balancing is shifting as the battle rages on.

 

Turning Point is now my favorite mode to play. Usually I start off a session of Battlefront in Fighter Squadron, and after a round or two of that I'll switch to Turning Point and play through the mal rotation.

 

Yeah, you killed me a few times in that game. Showoff

 

I've got a few good shots to upload here:

Here some funny shots of guys floating in mid air after their deaths:

Spoiler

I have no clue what happened to this guy lol.

I was holding him up with my force powers haha.

I think he stayed out in the cold too long...

Here are some pretty good games that I had:

Spoiler

This was my best fighter squad match. I played as the Slave 1 for the whole match. The Slave 1 is probably my favorite part of this game.

This is the best match that I've played since the game has released

 

It's just too bad that the Falcon can take out Slave I so easily. I love playing as Slave I but the Millinium Falcon Shield Ramming is cheap.

 

Speaking of the Falcon and Slave 1, I feel like the "hero" vehicles are totally overpowered.

 

I don't mind them being overpowered as much as I hate the shield ramming, as mentioned above. Last night, almost as soon as I spawned, here comes the Falcon to ram me. I lasted 10 seconds. Super annoying.

I rammed Slave 1 one time by accident and felt like an *******. That shouldn't exist, or at least not a one hit kill. When there is NO opportunity for recovery, it feels so cheap.

With both hero vehicles in play, I feel it's more of an accomplishment for people like myself who don't pick up those tokens, and still wind up with the most kills and/or starships destroyed. Personally, I kinda wished they would give more an incentive with a boost in points and credits for those getting the most kills with non-hero vehicles.

 

I love TP but I think they need to tweak a few of the maps. I know a few pages ago we were discussing Hoth but I also find the last control point on Twilight on Hoth to be difficult to defend for the Imperials. If you die you spawn so far behind the ship and then you either have run all the way around it or use your jump pack to go over it. All the while they've got 6-7 players in there capping it.

 

Really annoying Hero Hunt. I was thinking to queue up for one smaller match after a series of really fun Walker Assaults, and that one popped up immediately. Turns out it was the dumbest I've been to so far.

There was a group of three people, one playing the hero and the others providing backup by standing in the way of anyone trying to get close and distracting other players by shooting and throwing stuff at them. Put the hero in a safe spot in a narrow tunnel's bend, so he can't be shot directly unless you get close (which is when the hero kills you) and you can help nicely to feed them some kills. I imagine they might be playing to get the 10 wins diorama challenge done, but that rather sucks. Hopefully this mindset isn't too widely spread.

 

I personally hate HH!

 

Are you sure it was Hero Hunt and not Heros vs. Villains? In Hero Hunt, the only enemy on the map is the hero or villain; so unless the player with the hero has friends in the game, there wouldn't be any point in protecting him.

 

I'll rethink my position on it too if this proves to be a larger movement. It can be fun to try and survive as a regular mook against something that's just vastly more powerful. Out-think or out-manoeuvre them. Or it can be really frustrating.

Yeah, Hero Hunt. They were soldiers from our side, standing with the hero they ideally should've tried to kill. Since we can't hurt them, they were protecting the hero by blocking shots with their own body and in turn shooting back at us for the distraction. Doesn't do damage, but it does do fun things to your aim.

 

EA needs to make more Cargo maps..
Thats My beast mode..

 

If that's the case, it's pretty obvious that they were friends of the hero player.

 

Yeah the falcon ramming needs to come to an end. Hopefully they can fix it this month whenever the release the dlc. Also, I understand what you guys mean by getting the most kills without the hero vehicle, but I ride in the hero vehicles for the sheer experience. The Slave 1 sounds awesome, the first person looks great, and it is my favorite vehicle in all of Star Wars.

 

After clearing some challenges based on small modes like Cargo, Droid Run and Drop Zone, I've come to the conclusion that there is a lot of fun to be had in those modes as well.
However, it does require me to change from my preferred weapon - the A280C - to the DH-17, if I want to keep up with the flow of battle.

I'm starting to dislike Walker Assault, though... the balance still seems a bit off.

My sympathies - I experienced the exact same thing yesterday. It felts so insanely stupid. The rebels obviously kept pushing forward, and that made it impossible to move toward the front of the ship, leaving only the option of running around it instead, just like you described. It's not the only issue in Turning Point, but the mode still provides some of the most entertaining battles available in the game.

 

Mine too. Either that or the tie fighter.

 

Oh?
What is the link? Not too spoilery please just general outlines.


I don't really need to say much more about Nien Numb and Greedo that hasn't already been said.

Battlefront is doing a better job of trashing its self than I can!

I joke, april fools will be a fun day.

 

I'm just wondering why they haven't told us when the DLC is coming out... I mean, shouldn't I know when to expect something I paid for?
