Anyone have it? Is it any good? How many guns are in it and are they customizable? Just wondering about it, the beta was alright and I decided I probably wouldn't want to spend $60 on it.

The graphics aren't too great and heroes are nigh on impossible to kill, apart from running them over. Shame you can't play as them, though. Bespin Platforms and Cloud City are amazing to play on.

Overall it's an awesome experience and it puts you right into the infantry combat of the Star Wars universe. Plus you get to kill Gungans and that's ALWAYS a plus.

What would you rate it out of 10?

He's being a cheeky cunt and talking about the original.

New Battlefront is fine as long as you take off your nostalgia goggles. However if you don't have a squad to roll with I'd suggest waiting for a price drop or something. Walker assault is one of it's big game modes and it can be downright frustrating without a team of people to work with.

Hm, I'm pretty sure I'll get it later on, kinda want to wait until it's about $40 or $30. So it's not buggy either? Like Dices previous games, with super buggy launches?

Yeah, I remember back in the beta if you were the rebels there was basically no hope for winning, I'm pretty sure I lost every match on the rebels side. So did they add anything to kind of even the odds or it's still the same as the beta?

Y-wings build faster, the AT-ATs now have a weak point on the underside, and the rebels have more anti-vehicle tools in the full release.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
No

Well that's good, what about spawns? I remember I couldn't even spawn because it kept spawning me in the same group of enemies.

Jokes aside, Walker Assault was fun. I actually won as the Rebels a few time, as long as your team aren't a bunch of a spaztastic idiots then you have a chance of winning. Just make sure to use the orbital strikes on the AT-ATs and not waste them on infantry

Hoth spawns are still pretty shit, but Sullust, Tatooine, and Endor spawns seem to be fine.

Maybe if they actually came up with a better name instead of just using the old name again.

I personally haven't played it, but from what I understand it suffers from the same issue as Titanfall in that it's very barebones and lacks content.

If 9 mp modes, 3 co-op modes, and a little over a dozen maps is lacking in content.

I think he means guns and stuff, how many guns are there? And is there like different card things that can let you play as different classes? Or is it just one guy with a bunch of guns?

It is.
Especially when the game from 10 years ago had more and better content. Modes, maps, and co-op in this game are dreadful as well.

Battlefront 2 had 18 maps at launch. That's 3 more than the reboot and all of the ones that weren't battlefront one remakes were pretty shit. Battlefront 2 had 7 mp game modes as opposed to the reboots 9. GC was just a dressed up instant action playlist, same with the "campaign".

If we want to start talking effective game modes Battlefront really only had one, conquest. In the reboot you can at least get a match in every game mode. Granted this is at launch though so it's possible that it may be whittled down to 3 as time goes on. However this is still 3x more game modes than battlefront 1 and 2.

I should also add that the first map pack is free and adds another 3 maps to the game so that'll bring it on par with 2 for map count.

But I guess in the end -- Sort of feels like everyday its harder to stay happy where you are. There are all these ways to look through the fence into your neighbor's yard.

Why even risk it? its safer to stay distant.

Saying lolwut doesn't make you right. This game has no diversity. Say what you want about galactic conquest and campaign, but people loved them, and that's why they are mad its gone. Same with space battles and the clone wars era.
Also like I said, the content that IS in this game isn't even good. Maps are horrible, and its pathetic that they limited 13 maps to only 4 planets; meaning less variety. Ultimately, the design choice was made to create more opportunity for dlc, and that sucks. There is no need to have maps dedicated to the ice caves from hoth, or the droid shit from tatooine. So even if you aren't wrong in saying that the game has enough content (which I definitely don't think it does), the game still is severely lacking in variety. Where is jabba's pallace? Naboo? Tantive IV? Dagobah? Space battles?

So 9 different game modes is lacking in variety? This isn't halo 5 where all but two are a variant of slayer. This isn't Battlefront 2 where 3 of the 7 game modes were different versions of CTF.

The maps you listed also suck ass other than Dagobah.

Dogfight is better than spacebattles. I've had more fun playing that than I ever did playing ship boarding battles.

Dogfight is better than spacebattles. I've had more fun playing that than I ever did playing ship boarding battles.

The 9 game modes dont offer anything exciting or diverse though. Most of them do boil down into tdm (or a slight variant) and the ones that don't (droid run) are just plain garbage.
 And your argument that Jabba's palace and Tantive 4 suck is wrong when a) those areas both have much more meaning to the movies than ice caves/smugglers den and b) people loved playing on them. Besides, what I listed were just a few examples. Planets (environments) battlefront 2 has: 18 Planets reboot has: 4

Can you not see how that is a problem? Whether or not you enjoyed those maps is irrelevant, they add more "star wars" to the game, and they add more variety. Game mode number is also irrelevant when they suck and you are still playing in the same spaces.

If Dice/ EA didn't want it comoared to the previous games, they shouldn't have called it a battlefront. But giving it that name means you're trying to compare it to it's predecessors, which it will be.
