Reasons why Battlefront will hurt us (please don't)

CyberGama · April 24, 2015, 06:42:33 PM

Here's my reasons why this is going to hurt a lot of Battlefront players:

1. And this is probably the most pissed off one (including me), no clone wars era. The Clone Wars era in my opinion is the best I had ever played, it's always fun to play as a droid and start kicking the living shit out of clones. When they took that out of the game, I got really fucking pissed off. Why? To make more money? Fuck that, DICE you have done fucked it up.

2. Classes. Yep, there are not classes in Battlefront. You know what is in it? The same reason why Battlefield and Call Of Duty is shit, turing it into a noob game. You heard me, why would they take out the class system? because Battlefront was fun to play, it's one of my favorite games to play even online. With the Classes gone, this will mean that the unique thing about Battlefront will turn into a fucking shit, DICE is marketing kids and new comers who don't know shit about battlefront and will think it's one of the best games ever. If you think about it, it makes sense.

3. No space battles. I'm sure everyone heard about this so i'm not gonna go into detail on this.

4. DLC. Think about it, No Clone War, No Space Battle, No Story, combine that and you get a profit. And speaking of Story.

5. NO CAMPAING, what the fuck DICE, i played Battlefront for not just multiplayer, but story as well. You think this is TitanFall? No, so not only you got rid of the clone wars era, but you got rid of fucking story mode, lame lame lame lame lame fucking lame.

Is there good things about this game, sure.
+Graphics
+Millennium Falcon
+Galactic era (my second favorite era)

Is this enough, to me, it's a mix feeling, at first I hated this news, but in the other side my Star Wars nostalgic keeps telling me to play this, i'll rent it but that's it, DICE and EA will not get my money.

This couldn't be discussed in one of the other three BF threads on the first page of Gaming?

1) More EA's fault than DICE, me thinks. Reeks of rushed development.

2) Terrible idea, definitely. Especially considering that different classes of Stormtrooper use different weapons, so class systems work perfectly with the media.

3) There's in-atmosphere ship battles, but that's not really the same thing. They're considering it for DLC iirc, but even then it better be free or really cheap.

4) There's going to be a lot of DLC, bet on it.

5) They've said that there are missions; what they mean by that hasn't been elaborated on yet.

I don't plan on buying it at all, but making it worse than it is won't solve anything. If at all, it'll probably have an adverse effect; by exaggerating the flaws so hard, the anti-crowd will just look like they're overblowing this.

2. Classes. Yep, there are not classes in Battlefront. You know what is in it? The same reason why Battlefield and Call Of Duty is shit, turing it into a noob game. You heard me, why would they take out the class system? because Battlefront was competitive, it was fun to play, it's one of my favorite games to play even online. With the Classes gone, this will mean that the competitive in Battlefront will turn into a fucking casual game, DICE is marketing casuals and kids. If you think about it, it makes sense.

While I agree with most of your points....what? Since when was Battlefront a competitive game? It's always been a fun and casual multiplayer game.

Shit, i forgot about the A.I's, lol you're right, i'm not sure what i was thinking. I guess my rage and competitive got mixed up.

1: 40 players: For a inside map like the Death Star or a city map that is a good amount of players due to the size and area of it. But when it comes down to large open maps it's way too little. The game is going to feel empty because of that. Battlefront 2 is 32 players on 6th gen and even with smaller maps it still feels empty at times. Really what is the point of getting this game when the PC version of Battlefront 2 is 64 players? You're buying a 2015 game that has more limitations than a 2005 game.

2: The ATAT's are scripted: It's going to take the fun out of the levels that have them when you can't even control them. It's also going to take the fun out of having them when they are predictable. Even the PSP port of Battlefront 2 has them controllable.

3: No space battles: Once again a 2005 game has more content than a 2015 game. Even if they're going to be in a DLC it's going to be a paid DLC out the ass. Elite Squadron had something going and DICE simply ignored it.

4: No classes: Half the fun of the first two games is playing as different units. It's fun feeling like a god using the destroyer droids. The only reason why it's going to have loadouts is because it's another fad in today's games. It's going to kill this game. Battlefront is a class based game and not a load out one. The whole point of the games is to play the battles from the movies using the things from them which would have to be done by classes.

5: No Clone Wars: Like I said above it's less content. Star Wars Battlefront which is the first game managed to launch with it unlike this game and it still played well. This seems like it's going to be a greedy DLC at some point.

6:There's already planned DLC. That right there tells you there's going to be content cut or hold back just to be charged.

Thanks for giving out more info, it pains me greatly that DICE and EA are becoming more greedy and shit.

Back in 2002 or 3 with Battlefield 1942 which is the first game in the series that game launched with at least two dozen maps. There's DLC but the point is that the game still has that many maps to it. Back then those maps had to been huge and even today some of the maps are a decent size. Now with Battlefield the games launch with few maps and the rest is just DLC. The whole point of that is to get people to get bored of playing the same 5 maps over and over again until they buy the DLC. There's no reason why Battlefield can't launch with at least 12 maps. They managed to do it back in 2002 or 3.

I demand for Cheat to blacklist anyone on the site who Pre-orders or buys the game

EA already hurt me and destroyed part my childhood when they ruined Command and Conquer with the abomination that was Command and Conquer 4.

They had a chance to redeem themselves with Battlefront and they done FUCKED it up. And the sad thing about this game is that they will still make millions and millions of dollars from it just because it has "Star Wars" in the title.

It makes me sick just thinking about it.

For the load outs this that would be fun if there were still classes. For example you have a class that is a jet trooper. You can change things like a jet pack or a jump pack. There's a class that has a bubble shield. You can change it to have either that shield, a deployable shield that acts like a wall which blocks off areas or a shield that acts like armor lock. It only last for a second and when up it blocks all damage. For the rocket launcher class you can either have a normal one or that guided one in Battlefront 2. For snipers you can have a powerful single shot or a weaker semi automatic. So instead of changing weapons like in Battlefield and CoD you are either changing equipment or the type of weapon.

For the destroyer droids it would be fun having load outs for them. Instead of having the ones we have in the other two games. When can have ones that have shotguns for close range or a sniper one.

Berzerk, the thought of shielded Destroyer Droids with Sniper Rifles is terrifying.

+Vehicles (For example, the AT-AT)
Didn't they reveal it to be non-controllable?

Saddly, it's only A.I controllable, meaning that we won't control the AT-AT

1. Prequels are shit.
2. Classes are shit and restrict customisation.
3. Stop bitching about spilled milk.

1. Except for Revenge of The Sith, also the clone wars era is fun to play. Who cares if the prequels are shit, the lore for the clone wars era is badass.

2. Battlefront *class is fun to play, also who cares about *customization.

3. Stop acting like a fanboy.

If you have that then for balance you loose the shield.

Couldn't find a video without shit audio, so just mute it or something. Even in canon, these things are overpowered.
