AT-AT assault feels like if they took rush mode and decided to put the vehicles in the middle of the map.

So I'd probably describe this game as aggressively mediocre. Maybe it's the lack of content I assume there will be more for launch but after Hardline who the gently caress knows. Hoth is really really badly designed. While it's not impossible for the Rebels to win it's stacked heavily against them. The first point is decently balanced, the second point is pretty much spawn camping the rebels and point three depends entirely on whether or not you've killed an ATAT. The Snowspeeders are really great but one of the ATATs is positioned so you can't actually use the tow cable without plastering yourself into the wall. The uplink stations restarting if the empire reflips them is insanely stupid considering how much loving health the Walkers have. Basically one team is playing TDM and one team is playing conquest. That's not a good idea. I'd probably have a better opinion if Hoth was just a very poorly designed map but DICE isn't really worthy of benefit of the doubt anymore. The gameplay is pretty fun I actually like that it's more similar to UT than another peek and shoot BF. The UI is atrocious, things like the mini map or a powerup pick up taking up three quarters of the screen are terrible decisions. Sedisp fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Oct 9, 2015 |

I've had no problem doing them on the last point, even in close areas, because the game just takes over maneuvering for you. Every single time I've tried to hook the one closer to the cliff if it's still in the canyon I eat wall. It doesn't happen with the other walker or if it's moved past the cliff face.

I've been pretty much not ADSing except for long range head clicking, as I mostly play CSGO as my go to multiplayer shooter, and it's effective. The ion shots seem a bit ineffective against personnel, even compared to regular shots. Ion shots are for vehicles and popping shields.

Sharkopath posted:the tie fighter is the fast ship and the a wing is the tough ship and that sounds backwards to me, but what do I know The Awing is the more maneuverable of the two rebel fighters. The Tie Fighter is the more of the two Imperial. That last part is backwards. The balance is supposed to be that the TIEs don't have a shield but it doesn't matter because you'll never get behind one in any of the rebel ships.

TotalHell posted:Other people think it is bad because it 1) doesn't feel like classic Battlefront and feels too much like Battlefield, 2) doesn't feel like Battlefield and feels too much like Battlefront or 3) feels like Call of Duty (this one is objectively wrong). Yes that's exactly what all the criticism is. You nailed it. What makes me love this thread is the amount of you who are still going to preorder this game because "it's just a beta" this has happened three DICE games in a row now. Wait a few days maybe?

DreamShipWrecked posted:That is very odd, I can't say I have experienced the same thing. Occasionally it will do a bullshit spawn but generally they put them well behind the front lines so you don't get camped. Imperials have a giant walking tank that doesn't give a single poo poo about the front lines. Kind of helps with the camping part.

Jimbot posted:Maybe the power up stuff wouldn't be so bad if you could see where they spawned on a mini-map or if they didn't disappear when someone picked them up (hero and vehicle ones notwithstanding). Hoth is basically the rebels scattering around looking for a power-up to deal with the walkers. Oh you got a shield? Well, sucks to be you. I still don't see how these can't be loadout items. They're powerful, yes, but everything else exists on cooldown timers, so I don't see why these abilities can't either. Yeah pretty much. For a game that is supposed to be casual friendly it really hates people who don't do things like memorize power weapon spawns.

JoshTheStampede posted:Yeah its only hard for the Rebels because the Empire basically wins stalemates since they are the timer. If the beta wasn't capped at level 5 and everyone had higher level unlocks, plus if everyone on both sides wasn't bad, it would be more even. Right now it's just that Empire wins if everyone is incompetent, which everyone is. That's kind of the crux of the problem. That and point two being an auto win for the Empire.

Scrub-Niggurath posted:Idk what more they can do at that point though, the ATATs are already flashing blue and the objective has clearly changed to state "Shoot the AT-AT". You can lead an idiot to an objective, but you can't make him win Things they could do: 1. Caps interrupt ywings not start them over. 2. Imperials can't use the turrets or change their angle of fire. 3. Lower the walkers health or adjust how much damage certain weapons do to them. The Radar Dish guns do 2 percent damage per shot and you are incredibly vulnerable in them. Fun fact you can get a maximum of 2-3 ywings on the second point by holding them the entire time. It's an incredibly short phase. I actually like the game but Hoth is an unbalanced mess. Sedisp fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Oct 10, 2015 |

Ciaphas posted:I didn't play long. Does it have a higher or lower time-to-kill than here? It being relatively high here is at least partially what's making me like it, I can't stand one-shot-dead shooters. One on ones can last a decent amount of time if you are good at moving. People who play it like an ADS shooter die much faster. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Lower. As in you die faster in BF4 so that's probably not what you are looking for. Not a really good comparison. In a vacuum the TTK in BF4 is significantly lower than Battlefront. Sedisp fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Oct 10, 2015 |

So to anyone who is crazy enough to think Hoth is good balance I present you the following counterpoints! 1. The cliff ATAT on the final point cannot be towcabled unless it makes it past the cliff. It only makes it past the cliff if you get enough Ywings on the last point. I have tried this multiple times with the little snow speeder right smack dab in the middle of the QTE. 2. Tie interceptors take no damage from snow speeder cannons. Tested this with a friend to make sure I wasn't missing. 3. Getting shot once while in the tow cable QTE immediately throws the QTE in one direction or the other. Dunno if it's recoverable once the bar narrows. 4. The ATAT tokens are less than a minute for respawn.

Scrub-Niggurath posted:What's wrong with that? The QTE is piss easy and if there was no way to stop it short of destroying the untargetable speeder outright it'd be a joke Throwing it off is fine making it an instant fail is not. Especially since getting the speeder requires the rebels to run into either the open field or the middle of the map. Both of which can be covered by ATAT fire. There is also a good gap between the CD for it's radar cloak and it's uptime. Fire a torpedo during this or get good and just dumbfire the interceptors cannons. Not like it can actually dogfight you! You really seem to want it to be a one way steam roll. Sedisp fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Oct 10, 2015 |

It's possible that the data was better hidden (not included at all) during the beta. I doubt they would bother to include a partial amount in that case. Especially when a bunch on that list are clearly still being hosed with.
