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

But how many people will they actually need to accomplish that? Like I said, it's mostly art assets and level design, and they don't need that many people for that. And you're talking about a game that's older and less popular than the new Battlefield game at that.

It makes more sense for them to roll with a skeleton crew with Battlefront 2, and focus their efforts on more profitable, newer games.

 

With other Star Wars games being lined up for next year, it does give time for the Battlefront name to claw its way back to being a popular product with a real push in new content throughout the next year. Save Battlefront 3 for near the end of EA's time with the licence [if it isn't being renewed] as the swansong of the series that gets everything right. Thus, I'd say putting the team back to 2 for more content and fixes should be happening.

Though I still say with a Battlefront 3 they should stop using a system ripped from PvZ: Garden Warfare for the actual gunplay - even if they keep the stat boosting cards such as quicker health regen.

 

If they were smart they'd just work on revamping BF2 and save BF3 for an eventual next gen console (PS5, Xbox-?) release.

 

Star Wars Battlefront 3 as a near-launch game on next gen systems...
Lovely.

 

Well that's essentially what the original BF games were for PS2 and Xbox, weren't they?

 

Could only be excited about that if EA/DICE has nothing to do with it.

 

Played some games last night. 2 things..

1 Jump pack for rocket trooper still broke..

2 When in a Republic gun ship (artillery) Being at a longer distance to the an enemy/ATT. Shooting laser will not hit them..
Not sure if it's always had a distance cap to it or if it's a glitch, but it's annoying. Was hitting ATT multiple times to get no hit marker and no damage.

FUN GAME!

 

An article on the recent update.

The main thing that comes to mind is the respawn location. It looks like you'll be able to choose where you respawn from now on.

 

You can choose WHO you spawn off, not so much WHERE. I didn't like partner spawns in BF 2015, and I'm not a fan now for all the same reasons. They keep teams artificially embedded in objectives. They benefit clans over casual players. And ultimately the time they save us spawning in is lost on choosing who you spawn in on or fighting the new spawn glitch. Why they couldn't give us an actual choice of of spawning points, like in the old Battlefront or any of the Battlefield series and eliminate the useless 10 secind wait is beyond me. Apparently players teleporting into the objective like Star Trek is somehow better. (it's not)

Regarding the new glitch, you get locked in the spawning screen sometimes now. You get the countdown, you see the players you can spawn off, but you can't spawn. What you can do is hit options, choose respawn, and go through the whole spawning rigmarole again. It's a real time saver! (it's not)

 

I'm curious if you're limited to only spawn in conjunction with other clone troopers and not heroes. Everyone would want to follow the hero(s) on the map wherever they go.

 

You can spawn on heroes now.

 

So outside of Phasma, none of the female heroes get any new star cards or health benefits?

 

That new mode had better be worth it. I keep reading that description and all I keep thinking of is Elite Squadron's version of conquest with its near symmetrical maps to keep the ion cannon roughly the same distance from each team.

I'm also curious to see Geonosis, and how Grievous will play.

 

Nothing for Dec.. lol

 

Been more than a month since I've been able to get on Battlefront 2, but having jumped on Galactic Assault today I was immediately stumped by that new spawning mechanic. They really want you to spawn on squad members, but when you can't do so if they're in a vehicle or in combat, there's little reason to even try. Or if they're halfway back down the map trying to shoot at starfighters with a grenade launcher.
Still haven't lost any skill on it.

 

All Heroes able to be on the field at once in Galactic Assault has certainly made the matches more chaotic at points. Otherwise it's business as usual except for the vehicle attack phases meaning the vehicles are hardly hit.
