Topic: Star Wars Battlefront II --OT--

@Tasuki They did always say they would be coming back to be fair. Kind of surprised it took them this long to be honest.

@Tasuki They actually only sold 7 million copies.

@kyleforrester87 They probably figured that they could use the low sales as a reason to bring them back now. Ironic considering that the loot boxes are probably the reason for the low sales.

I enjoy this game, but it is so poorly managed to the point of being insulting.

I play this off and on when I need to fulfill my Star Wars itch, but it has only recently come to my attention how fun playing Heros/villains can be. The main reason is I am bad at this game. I usually range in the bottom third when a match is finished. My star cards are not maxed, but I know they wouldn't help much. Due to my horrible skills I rarely if ever get to play a Hero/villian. That is until this past weekends event. All heros are available and the cost to use them is greatly reduced. I was able to then play as them. Even with my poor skills it was fun. So the question is, why isn't this method the norm? I understand yes get better and then you can be the first to use the heros, but I doubt I will ever get that good with my casual play and it takes little away from the hardcore gamers.

@Tasuki Sorry about that. I was worried using this thread would be considered necroing.

@RogerRoger Nice to hear about the Geonosis map. Hopefully DICE will see a bump in play for galactic assault from this last event and make it a more permanent option.

@RogerRoger I’m glad they’re just dropping them in the map. The other good alternative is to do it like Battlefield and make it so you spawn as a vehicle and you can do it as long as a slot is available. I agree that it’s not the best way to punish you for trying but not being the best. Dying a lot does that already.

@RogerRoger yeah i watched that yesterday and i like Obi Wan and all but not sure if he is enough to get me to reinstall the game, 90gb's is a lot of room after all

@RogerRoger Nice. Thanks for the trailer post.

@RogerRoger could you can let me know exactly what the update brings once it drops i can use that to determine if i want to reinstall or not

What you reckon?

@RogerRoger will it be a Christmas hat?

@RogerRoger Just recently looked in to what BF2 can offer now; specifically the Arcade Starfighter stuff.
Since there'll probably never be anything close to a full Starfighter or Rogue Squadron game, this is looking like the best we'll get.
It was the best bit of the beta for me by far - just wandering if you could give me a run down of available ships? Or, more specifically - is the Episode 2 Jedi Starfighter in it yet? 😁

@RogerRoger Thanks for the information... Hmmm...

I do have Starfighter, and Jedi Starfighter, and Rogue Squadron/Leader and Rebel Strike... It's shame BF2 is still so limited. Ah well.

@RogerRoger .

It does look lovely - I just have no interest in how the gun play felt on foot.

If I see it ridiculously cheap, I might bite.

@RogerRoger Thanks for your thoughts. I I watched a little bit of gameplay. Looks nice enough, but still not particularly interested.

Time for a Rogue Leader remaster petition! 😂

@RogerRoger i might re-install it and give the new stuff a go, i can't Guarantee i'll keep it installed though

@RogerRoger I didnt think it would. Thanks for confirming! That is one of my fave Star Wars scenes, something I grew up wishing to see with all those jedis fighting it out.

The battle for Geonosis is an excellent edition to galactic battle rotation. My only gripe is that I would have part one of the battle not end if the clone troopers lose, just give them less tanks to use for parts 2 and 3. Playing as the separatists I dont try as hard in part one because I like playing in the more open battle of parts 2 and 3 All in all, well done in the latest update.

@RogerRoger haha, I missed reading your review before I wrote mine. Glad to help bring balance to the force. 😉
