Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
I wish there were multiple classes like in the previous games. I want to play as an Imperial Officer and Dark Trooper god dammit.

EA and Dice are going to ruin this game, I can already feel it.

You're right, why am I not surprised that they already ruined it.

So when can we be real about battlefront 2 like people are with Halo 2?

Most of the maps were shit, the gameplay was a downgrade from battlefront 1, space battles may as well have been called boarding ship battles, the only game mode worth playing was conquest, heroes were completely broken and ruined the flow of every map, and you handicapped yourself in galactic conquest if you allowed your faction to use anything other than the trooper and engineer.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

What really changed about the gameplay? If there was a way to handicap yourself in galactic conquest, I never noticed, seemed easy to begin with.

Removal of prone, removal of a good first person mode, power ups gained from time sunk into the game made it heavily unbalanced, heroes were completely broken and ruined the flow of the maps, reduced emphasis on combined arms and an increased presence of infantry only maps.

In GC the ai sucked (even more than it already did) when using any class other than trooper and engineer. So buying the other classes was tantamount to filling your side of the battle with walking free kills.

This plays nothing like the old Battlefront games. Reasons?

>Does it have regenerate health? Yep
>Does it have infinite ammo? Yep
>Are vehicles power ups? Yep
>Does it let you choose which team you wanna play? Nope
>Does it have a class to choose? Nope
>Can you buy weapons? Yep
>Are the cards cheep and casual to use? Yep
>Is dogfighting good? Sort of
>Can you pilot an AT-AT? NOPE
>Are Heroes any good? NOPE (Battlefront 2 had better Hero Gameplay)
>are Vehicles good? NOPE

This so called "Battlefront" game should be renamed to "Star Wars: BattleCOD/Field"
Reminder that Star Wars Battlefield is totally fine.

Jetpack, yes. However, I have yet to understand what's so good about the DLT, although I always get killed by it. Really, all the guns can kill in a second or less.

Rate of fire gives it a better time-to-kill, AFAIK.

That's why you should be playing with Psy and I on the boner.

Seriously though, having a competent squad to secure objectives and maintain air superiority makes walker assault much more enjoyable. Just like  with battlefield I can't play the game alone because I don't like relying on randy.

As odd as it sounds, I think battlefront is probably the one of the best implimentations of combined arms in gaming.

Unlike say battlefield there's interaction between air and ground forces and one will be hard pressed to succeed without the other.

I can't play for more than two rounds in one sitting. The balance is awful, the spawn killing worse, and with the wonky aiming on top of all that, I get annoyed with it and can't enjoy it.

Really, the turret and AT-AT aiming is waaaay too sensitive with a mouse, but lowering the sensitivity makes flying really stiff. On the ground, Y-Axis with gamepad is a lot speedier than X-Axis, so that throws me off, too. I don't like having to fight the controls just to aim competently.

Has the PC community really not figured out how to win as the rebels yet? It's gotten to the point where I actually kind of enjoy playing as the rebels more due to what feels like an uphill race against time to win.

Majority of players always tends to be bullet magnets that run around without much of a clue what they should be doing. It's kinda inevitable.

A little bit. One guy actually mentioned having an orbital strike and other players told him to save it for the walker, so he did. We had done a rather good job at keeping both of the link things so we had plenty of Y-Wings, too.

But usually it's very one-sided in favor of the Empire.

I've won as the rebels by the first checkpoint before, it's very possible to do

The most important phase is phase 3. I'll write something up from a fly boys perspective when I get home.

I wish we still had prone. Me and my brother would get on top of the tunnels on bespin's platforms and snipe the droids coming in. 10/10 would play again

Except fixing that stuff would be a legitimate improvement and welcomed by many. Gutting and removing half the game's content is a downgrade, nothing less.
