Star Wars Battlefront

I never really jumped on the hype train to begin with when Battlefront was first announced. The inner child in me was pretty excited, but I was seeing Battlefield getting progressively repetitive, and my logical side basically assumed that this would just be a reskin of Battlefield. Now that the game is actually out, I wish I could say that is true, but it isnt.
When you look at Battlefield, vehicles play a major part. Yet in Battlefront, they are pretty much useless in most parts. Only one team gets ground vehicles on the Hoth walker assault, and the air combat is pretty poor. On Endor, you have speeder bikes, but the things are practically useless with how many trees there are. I honestly wish that they had been willing to put more effort into vehicles in the game. Other than that, its a fairly typical DICE game. You shoot people, they shoot back. The guns feel fairly lack luster and as a jedi you feel like you are just swinging around a wet noodle. I think the game is solidly okay. It didn't live up to the hype, and I'm perfectly happy to mod the hell out of Battlefront 2 on my computer and have a much more fun experience. I had my fun with Dice's attempt to revive it, but I think I'm done with it, regardless of DLC. |

Best game mode of the game though is hands down Heroe's vs Villains. While I'm not...happy about the new "heroes" with this DLC, that game mode is very intense and is a ton of fun. Games are short and quick, but is jam packed with some intense action imo. |
Really? I found the walker assault mode to be the only interesting mode. Yeah, it was pretty favored in terms of the Imperials, but its really the only mode with an interesting objective to do. Most of the other maps just seem small or plain. A few are more interesting, like the ones where every time the attackers capture a control point, the whole map and spawn points move forward. But in general the game is just repetitive, has boring gunplay, and isn't all that fun after you play ten or so hours.

I've been playing this game a lot over the past few days. It's a great Star Wars game and DICE did a really good job making the player feel like they are actually in a Star Wars battle. I've mostly been playing Walker Assault, Supremacy, and Heroes vs Villains, and occasionally Fighter Squadron.

That makes a hell of a lot more sense lol. I was searching the Xbox One store the other night and I couldn't find a purchase option for just Outer Rim. Gonna have to mark my calendar then (: Do you have a favorite Hero/Villain to play as? |
I never really jumped on the hype train and I mostly only played this game because my friends were into it..though I have to admit it can be really fun and addicting sometimes lol.
I love playing Walker Assault, and my fav hero/villian to play as is Boba Fett. |

The Emperor is fun, but he's totally useless at a distance, so I generally pick Boba Fett as a Villain. His jet pack is amazing :P Also I just want to say that I think Nien Nunb and Greedo were very odd choices for Heroes this DLC. |
Quote:
Definitely Nien Numb and Greedo are odd choices. You'd think that with so many characters to add like Chewbacca, Darth Maul, Obi Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Qui Gon, Count Dooku, General Grievous, and so on and so forth, they'd choose someone more prominent than those guys. Honestly? I think it was because of laziness, or short period of time to work on the DLC. The face skins were already in the game with Greedo and Nien Numb, so all they needed to do was create the rest of the bodies. I really hope they don't stick with episodes IV-VI in terms of Heroes and Villains. That's a waste of potential /: |
I'm pretty sure they said they're not adding anything from the prequels or TFA (other than Jakku) to this particular game, so anything new is going to be drawn from the original trilogy.
Anyway, I have very conflicting feelings about Battlefront. When it works, it's a ton of fun, but it has so many balance issues that it's infuriating more often than not. Plus the fact that I was an idiot and got the PC version, which was practically dead about a month after release and was nearly impossible to get matched up with other players last time I tried it. When everything comes together though, there's really no other game that's made you feel like you're actually in a Star Wars movie. I haven't played it in a month or two, so I might jump back in soon and see if they've fixed any of the issues I had with it. |

I managed to get into the Overwatch beta, and I've been having a blast. I honestly can't see myself going back to Battlefront when there are much more fun games out there to play that I am consistently having fun with, playing both with and without friends. I think that Battlefront was a shiny game with a lack of content and depth, which makes me sad. I really wanted the game to actually be fun, but its just so repetitive. |

Unless it's the Binding of Isaac, that game is my rock lol (; Quote:

When it comes to Heroes vs Villains, I find that due to his jet pack, Boba Fett is one of the longest surviving villains. I also like Walker Assault, Hero Hunt, Blast, Supremecy and Turning Point.

Plus there are some modes/maps that are just lopsided. I think the Empire has one maybe once or twice in all the matches I've played on Endor. Not only does the fact there's only one walker mean the Empire has an uphill battle, but they also get to trek through the jungle in their nice shiny white armor while the rebels get camouflage. Plus, the Empire has quite literally an uphill fight in the second wave of uplinks since they're all up in the freaking treetops. The matchmaking is also pretty questionable...I've noticed it just seems to randomly assign teams regardless of level, etc. So many times I've been matched on a team with a bunch of low-level players against a team of high level opponents with weaponry and power-ups that we can't hope to compete against. Part of that might just be because of the low player count on PC and it might be different on consoles...but it's still infuriating when it happens. |
