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

I'd be all for that, the only problem is that it splits the playerbase into people that do pay for the content and those that don't. Last week I tried jumping back onto BF 2015, and while I still had a good time, I couldn't find any games on my favourite maps Bespin and the Death Star due to them being DLC that no one goes on anymore, whereas I was able to find games on the vanilla maps straight away.

 

Well that's the other thing. You can't choose which direct maps to go to in BF2; only the eras and hope that your favorite map will eventually show up if you play long enough. I understand if they did the pay for content bit they'd be going back on their promise, but at this point if you have enough people who were holding out hope for some more of their favorite heroes, why not make some extra cash on the side? I guarantee if they made Ahsoka alone as a paid DLC, they'd be reaping the benefits from it within a month.

Yesterday I watched this video blog of a guy talking about what's expected in the months ahead for BF2; just random events like increased hero numbers, low BP, Double XP, etc. Is that enough to entice people to keep playing the game over the next few years? He didn't seem to think so.

 

The Good news: The Battlefront II petition campaign to continue adding more content has now passed the 100K signature milestone

The Bad news: It appears as though signatures from all of the World Leaders won't make an ounce of difference to EA as they've pretty much made it clear that they're done with BF2.

 

I just started playing BF2 again after a couple of years, and after seeing all of the new updates I can confidently say this is the biggest improved game since launch. It's actually so much fun now. I ended up with over 100 eliminations in a supremacy battle!

I'm disappointed they won't invest more to keep updating the game like GTA V does throughout the year. There's so many characters and maps they could add. It seems weird that after finally delivering the game that the fans always wanted, they'd just stop...

 

EA gonna be EA.

 

Yeah, I'm sure they had more in planning, but EA forced them to stop. Bring the team fully together to completely focus on the next generation.

It's a lot of fun to go back to, dive into a few matches of Galactic Assault or go for a larger scale Supremacy game (or Instant Action if you want some quick games), and immerse yourself into the action.

 

Does Battlefront 2 still not have any stats or time played record??

 

For PS4, timetracker is a good substitute.

 

Nope. I heard the PS5 does

 

Just for the heck of it I started playing BF2 again after about a half a year off it. They must've nerfed Iden since the last time I used her because she's just not as usable overall as before. The shock droid barely works and the 2nd weapon bombs do barely any damage on the enemy heroes.

----------------------------------------

I was watching this reunion video for the original G4 TV cast recently and a recommended video showed an old X-Play from the early 2000s when they reviewed the original BF game. They didn't really appreciate it all that much; mainly because of the network lags on Multiplayer.

 

I still play BF2. If you find enough online friends, you can play on those maps together.

 

I knew I heard it somewhere (spoiler alert in case you haven't seen last week's "Mandalorian" episode or played the Story Mode of BF2).

What the Mandalorian Chapter 15 owes to Battlefront 2

 

I didn't realize until today that I posted this video in the wrong thread (accidently posted in the Squadrons one).

 

Yah anyone who hasn't played the single player campaign basically the closest exploration of Operation Cinder, other ones are Aftermath novels and Shattered Empire comic. Squadrons is set during Cinder but I don't remember any references to it.

 

I vaguely remember it was the dialogue of the imperial fighters in Squadrons that references Cinder; I think they even mentioned Iden Versio, no less.

 

Would I be able to use my PS4 controller if I'm playing the game on PC?

 

Star Wars just released this although I really don’t know why

 

My problem is that I'm not sure if my PC is even compatible with the game; at least the recommended settings. I wonder if I can "purchase" the game when it's available for free; but only download it another time when I get a better computer.

 

They're entering a new era, is LucasFilm Games, becoming an official entity for all games of LucasFilm IP. Basically, it's a trailer celebrating the games and collaborations that have come before as they move into the future of more - such as the new Indiana Jones game recently announced. What I'm also hoping is that we might get a few more announcements over this next day or so.

 

EA still has the license for exclusives (except Lego) for 2 more years
