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?

I'd give it a solid 8

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?

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's 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

Wait until the full game comes out then buy it.

Yeah, has more than the old ones.

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.

lolwut

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.

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?

Most people aren't getting bored because it's brand new, but eventually I expect the boredom to set in due to the lack of real content.

Of course saying lolwut doesn't make me right. That's why I supported it with facts.

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.

>no need to have a dedicated map to the ice caves in hoth or the smugglers den
>wants a dedicated map for jabbas apartment and cramped as shit ship IV

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.

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.
