accies1874 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 It's probably gonna be just as rushed and dull. I have a horrible feeling that they'll just the same number of heroes/planets as the first one, but they'll try and say it's an improvement due to it being spread across multiple eras. Space Battles could be an improvement if they fix the absolutely horrendous and boring flight controls from the first one. In the OG Battlefront 2 it was great fun trying to fly into an enemy ship and take it down from the inside; a return of that would be good. On the whole, I just really want more maps/planets, heroes and weapons - pretty much all cosmetic changes. There were enough fun game modes, in my opinion, and I think it was close to being a good game. Oh, and Galactic Conquest is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 'N Yellow Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Trailer looks impressive but I'm sceptical. Apart from a glimpse of Darth Maul there was no other signs of the prequels I.e the trade federation, Gungans etc. They've confirmed the game covers all 3 eras. You can see battle droids on the official site so the Clones/Trade Federation are definitely in it. There's going to be a campaign, space battles and the prequel factions in it so it sounds like what Battlefront 1 should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'd be furious with dice if i bought the last game tbh. they fucked everyone over. it's not fucking hard, remaster the original battlefront 2 with TFA characters/maps included and you are onto a winner. it's so easy yet they can't get it right.

54_and_counting Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 worryingly its the fact that the storymode seems to begin after the battle of endor, whats the point in covering all 3 eras if its purely multiplayer, what id love, but i highly doubt it would happen is a choice based storyline Start off as a clone trooper, find out from captain rex about the inhibitor chips, make a choice to believe him or not, this either leads you to be a storm trooper or join rex and the rebellion, through rogue one, then go through the original era on either side, and then after the battle of endor depending on what side you are on it continues into the sequel trilogy era the multiplayer modes on battlefront were good for a quick game, jump in and out for half an hour, but no longevity, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was fucking garbage. After maybe 2 hours it was deleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenHibee Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I am a major Star Wars fan but the last Battlefront was ****. I played it for a week and haven't opened it up once since. The graphics and authenticity are 10/10. The gameplay is SO boring and repetitive with very basic controls. If it had an offline story mode of the same ilk as Battlefront II they'd have made so, so, so, so much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarusQPFC Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 So many people sitting there going "EA wouldn't f**k us again would they" When it comes to non bioware affiliated titles im honestly done with EA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Got burnt with Battlefront so pretty much the same as everyone else will be waiting until it is out before deciding to pick it up or not. Battlefront is good fun in short spells, really like Walker Assault, but what was included in the base game was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Only played a few games of the beta but it’s as fun as the last one. Nothing more, nothing less. Obviously haven’t for stuck right in yet, and the single player will definitely make a difference. It still feels a bit too big with not enough players, and changing crouch to holding down circle annoyed me more than it should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I was in Slovenia all weekend so didn’t play any more after posting. I’ll still buy it, but a lot rides on the single player mode for me; I can’t see it being anything other than an uninspiring 4-hour repetitive bore though. It’ll be fun to get another chance to play as heroes from the prequels again and explore those locations (although neither seem vast in options), but its main challenge is implementing a way in which people will always want to go back and play it until the next one comes around.

Tri-TON Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Currently been playing Battlefront on the PS4 the past few nights, up to around 6 hours, picked up the £7.99 Ultimate Edition or whatever a couple months back. It's a reasonably fun game, some matches can be frustrating but I'm not taking it too seriously and really wants me to get into the Star Wars franchise (not my thing). Might look into the new one after it being out for a while, got £15 on my Game account.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The Battlefront remakes have been nothing but a complete disaster. They only had one job - make a shiny, better copy of Battlefront 2 and they completely fucked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 got my pre ordered copy today, played an arcade multiplayer while the game was downloading completely, f**k me the maps are huge, multiplayer gameplay is exactly the same except the points system to unlock heroes etc which is much better than finding an icon somewhere, running, jumping shooting etc all the same so easy to drop right into graphics are stunning, not just the character graphics but the whole overall settings etc, i know it sounds daft but stuff like running through trees and bushes and a flock of birds fly away in a panic, shooting stuff and bits of debris fly off, shimmering puddles, water etc, it all adds to the enjoyment of the scenario (until some arsehole jumps out from behind a bit of walker debris and kills you lol) essentially the multiplayer is an upgrade on Battlefront, but as we all know it got boring a bit quickly unless you played online with mates, the big thing for BF2 is the storymode single player, ive played maybe an hour of it on the middle difficulty mode (you can change anytime during the game apparently) and its actually quite difficult, im struggling to see the red indicator of where im being shot from (there's no radar on single player) so i'll adjust the colour blindness mode i think see if i can improve that, but the story seems good so far from what ive played of it, lots of in mission objectives, hopefully it keeps up the variety as it could be a big seller for it, flight modes are harder so far, your ship easily spins upside down a lot which can be disorientating especially in space with no point of reference to use for aligning yourself, targeting lock isnt as easy as the last game, kinda on the fence with this as the last time it could be infuriating as f**k when you simply couldnt shake someone off your tail because targeting was so easy, now you need to be practically aiming at them already to get a lock and even then it can be broke quite easily so far its a big improvement on the previous game, some will still not like it, others who wanted the first to be a success may well wanna try this if they can, i usually dont buy games right off the bat and wait till they drop in price but decided to treat myself for once, glad i did so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't pre-order, but this definitely killed any excitement for the game. I'm interested to know how long the single player mode is, might be worth buying once it comes down in price.
