Is this game extremely punishing to new players or am I just awful? I’ve spent maybe 6 hours on the multiplayer and have maybe 15 kills to show for it (on pc) and I can’t tell if it’s because I’m undergeared and my enemies are cheating or if I’m just finally too old for new video games I’ve tried every class and apart from when I play Heavy I just kind of die instantly upon contact in every match. Even in call of duty I do a little better than this

I guess I appreciate that better weapons are locked behind kills instead of loot boxes but if the game is gonna be like this until I get those guns, getting those kills is gonna be a bad time This whole system of “having more experience in a game gives you material advantages over inexperienced players” makes me long for like, day of defeat 1.0 Getting kar sniped sucked but at least you could just spawn with a kar too

I thought battlefront 2’s campaign with the maps and the fleet were kinda cool, but other than that I don’t remember much about the game.

Hmm. It’s possible I’ve just never used a scan dart correctly then because I’ve never seen an enemy through walls like that :x I’m a bad enough assault that I’m lucky if I even remember I have the scan dart tbh, I’ve got some practicing to do

Galactic assault is fun if you pretend it’s 40k instead of Star Wars and you’re a doomed imperial guardsman. It’s not fun if your goal is to kill people or successfully accomplish objectives I wish you could play it with bots because the maps are cool and it’d be fun to see them while pretending to be good at the game

I enjoyed the campaign as a fun pew pew Star Wars game but boy oh boy that story, huh? I tried not to take it seriously but that vardos or zardosz or whatever mission still has me reeling. the empire’s grand plan to maintain order after the death of the emperor is to destroy planets and instill fear. That’s the kind of thing that got people rebelling in the first place but ok, let’s do it. But instead of destroying enemy planets you destroy...loyal ones? And before you destroy one of them, you want to get a vital operative off the planet first. But instead of just like, giving her a shuttle, you need to send a crack commando team to hold the door for her or something. And you don’t send them in like a day or two ahead of time when it’s not suspicious, you send them literally as the planet is being destroyed. And one of the commandos is your own daughter, and also it’s her own home world that you’re making her watch be destroyed There’s just....a lot going on in that one

Cat Machine posted:That's kinda my point, though - they absolutely were random and it allowed even low-skill players a chance at playing as hero units. It wasn't an outright gimme - you still had to be careful picking it up and using it - but every once in a while you'd stumble on one while making your way to the front line and it was a nice surprise. IIRC they weren't really possible to camp either because of random distributions. Battlefront is a casual shooter that's primarily focused on 'the experience' over pure gameplay and the tokens fit with that ethos. I won’t say I loved the powerup system of bf1/3, but I will say I hate the BP system. It’s just another way for people who are already good at the game to get further advantages over people who are worse at it, and the game has a fair amount of that already. Hell yeah let the fuckin gosu who’s been playing since beta turn into darth Vader, that’s more fun for everyone

Jedi Knight Luigi posted:How should it work then? It’s a tricky balance for sure; maybe periodically the game decides “it’s time for a hero to spawn” and players who are interested can press a button to roll for the chance to play as them. It could even be based on how the teams are performing, to give a team that’s getting trounced a chance to make a comeback. I’m just sick of this current trend where skilled and experienced players are rewarded with even more material advantages over people who are still learning or are just naturally less talented. I didn’t love power ups but going back to it would still be an improvement imo

Ineffiable posted:I think the point system works well for starfighter assault. If the game is long enough, everyone will get 1-2 chances to play the hero. Plus there's random bots you can shoot down for points. I’d love it if you could just do full on bot matches on the GA maps. The maps, for any other faults, are extremely cool looking and it’d be neat to see what they’re like when you’re not rubberbanding, getting headshot from across the map, and getting double-teamed by lightsabers

I love that scene in a new hope, when the rebellion is effortlessly wrecking the Death Star, and then Luke and Han show up to mop up a little quicker. That’s the spirit that of Star Wars that bf2 should aspire to capture

hobbesmaster posted:If you coordinate explosives you can murder any hero. I appreciate the game trying to trick people into working together with the new squad spawn system (which is good and I like it a lot) but invariably my squad ends up running in two different directions while one person hangs out in the back of the map to snipe at the scenery and I’m left swearing at my monitor

Chomp8645 posted:The squad system is a deep and intricate mechanic in which the player receives a 2x point multiplier at seemingly random times which no human being on this planet can predict. I don’t care so much about the point multiplier so much as I like how it immediately spawns you with a small group of people at the same time. It’s just annoying that nobody actually sticks together at all.

The Lone Badger posted:Is this game worth it if I never intend to touch MP? Not for $60, no. The campaign is neat and a fun pew pew star wars romp (with a fairly awful story and some inexplicable cameos) but it's maybe 5-7 hours long. There's also an arcade mode which is just short plotless battles against enemies where you play as a hero or a trooper against a handful of bots. There's no way to do bot matches on any of the bigger MP maps or the starfighter mode. Buy it on a sale, or rent it if you're on console, but don't pay full price for it. Not even for drunk billy dee williams

Can we please go back to complaining about the bad star wars game, pleaseDr. Red Ranger posted:Tell me how to be a better Heavy. I'd love to be the guy that can bust open a room with explosions, lock down hallways with lasers and send dozens of enemy dudes on complimentary trips to the bullet dimension, but the piddly marshmallow launcher of a starting gun and even weaker chaingun feel so incredibly bad. Do I just need to stay within ~25 yards or less of the enemy due to fire spread and abuse impact grenades? The chaingun's not that bad, is it? I've found it to be pretty powerful, assuming you manage to get yourself into an engagement that allows you to properly use it, which is....fairly hard, but once you're in it, you're kind of a long range powerhouse. It's accurate and deadly with sustained fire, your main weakness is snipers and people hiding from you until your time runs out.

Zaphod42 posted:Its weird to me how star wars pushes merchandising so much now they end up spoiling half the movie before its done. I think it’s weird too and I don’t love it, but I also don’t care about it that much I’m kind of impressed that not only are they doing more campaign content, but they’re releasing it so soon. I assumed it’d be call of duty situation where it’s like “here’s your campaign idiots now shut up and buy multiplayer dlc”. Kinda cool I still want bot matches for GA and star fighter though. How hard could it be

Is this the only new campaign stuff they’re planning to tag on, or have they said they’re going to do more with future dlcs? It’d be neat if they did; barring a total do-over of the progression system, the mp in this game is just frustration to me and will never be fun no matter how many maps they add for me to die on, or how many new heroes they put in for other players to use and run circles around me, it’d be cool to have something new to do in this game I impulse bought at full price

Coolness Averted posted:the crafting level requirements and cards being genuine upgrades not sidegrades still is a bad layer of kruft on what should be an amazing game. This is what ruins the game for me. It’s bad enough that I’m now probably too old to be good at competitive FPS games but the fact that all the young uns also have better guns and better gear in addition to just plain being better at the game creates a really unfun situation. I haven’t even unlocked past the first tier of guns yet. It’s cool that in order to get a useful gun, you have to get 50 kills with your pea shooter, competing with not just enemies that outgear you, but heavily geared teammates that will steal your kills There’s a good game underneath the stuff I hate, but there’s a lot of stuff, and I hate it a lot So, potential purchasers, if you’re anything like me, take heed

reagan posted:Was really hoping for more arcade content with this patch. More maps, more modes, and especially starfighter combat. Only then would I re-purchase the game after I refunded the pre-order. I’d come back and dick around if they added the GA and SA maps into arcade mode, because they’re extremely cool when you aren’t being murdered instantly (so, never). But I’m not holding my breath, that kind of thing hasn’t been in a battlefield game for a while, I don’t think.

It’s possible that this game gets good once you start to get the good weapons and cards but I’ll never know because the grind to get there is intolerable Even if the game does get good after you invest the 20 hours of misery or whatever that’s required to get there, that’s the description of a bad game, not a good one The best thing I can say about this game is that it inspires me to reinstall bf2005, which I’m having more fun with playing against bots than I am against humans in this one I reinstalled bf2017 to check out the new campaign dlc and get my free heroes because why not, I already bought the game, and I’m delighted to see I can still pick my side in the faction battle even though I can already see who won

It was a little underwhelming yeah. And I don’t wanna go back and check but I’m pretty sure there’s a line where iden’s va straight up stutters on one of the words but they just kept it in and used the take anyway At least it was free and had fighter segments, I guess. Hopefully they do more, and they’re better
