Anybody play this game? I just tried the Droideka last night, loving awesome, so much fun. They’re adding the little white cuck ball in a few days, that’ll be cool to have another rolly droid to play as. I’m on PSN, and will start a list of gamertags if there’s interest.

I liked this game from the start, and love it now that they’ve patched out the loot box poo poo. The objective-based starfighter mode is especially great, nothing else quite like it out there. I’m on Xbox though

I'm glad they have an entire mode that is Clone Wars only so I can roll around as a destroyer droid blasting clones.

I liked the single player campaign, and how it bridges some story elements between the OT and ST movies. Palpatine having a scorched earth policy just to punish the Empire if he dies is completely insane and totally a thing he would do.

 Yeah. It liked it better that it was the last act of vengeful spite from a lovely evil old wizard rather than "actually it was all part of a BIGGER plan after all!"

One complaint I have is that I wish there was a respite from the heroes instead of there being two active at once at all times.

Chill Penguin posted:I haven’t tried any of the starfighter modes yet... You’re missing out, it’s really fun. One side has unlimited respawns and an objective (or multiple) to defend, while the other has a certain number of spawns to use to destroy the objective. There’s multiple stages per map too, and it’s a 24-player mode that also has a bunch of bots so it’s chaos everywhere.

I’m on Xbox though The starfighter modes should be the highlight of the game, but they did some really fucky nonstandard stuff with the controls and I just can’t wrap my head around where the yaw and roll are supposed to be vs every other flight sim game out there. I’ve played with the settings and each time I’m like yeah, this is it, and five seconds later my brain is just like nope, it’s fuckered. Would love to see something like the old battlefront II where you had two capital ships that could be boarded and sabotaged in space.

If you get it, I recommend watching this user’s videos, especially the new player guides: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3gda9uFD2hIS7kgkoQmJDA There’s a lot of stuff the game doesn’t really explain, like how to level up your characters without getting wiped out by veteran players (play co-op) and how to best play the different classes and heroes.

Picked this up a bit ago and my favorite class are the enforcers. The Rep Commando and the Superbattle Droids are fun as hell on Capital Supremacy. Also the Droid general is the best voice in your head.

I love the Republic Commando. They even have their own unique ammo mechanic and reload animations to more closely match the 2005 Republic Commando game lol Imperial Death Troopers are my favorite class though, they look loving cool and their LMG just absolutely shreds everything in front of you

i will say i definitely miss aspects of the original battlefront. like how on the geonosis map you could pilot the hailfire droid or homing spider droid or play as a geonosian.

You can kill the heroes, or escape from them. I think it’s cool. And there’s nothing more badass than a 10-second showdown where Obi-Wan thinks he can block all of your Droideka’s shots AND cover the distance, but then you activate overcharge and win the battle of attrition mere meters before he gets into attack range. Also, you should level up your own heroes in co-op, then you’ll be able to go toe-to-toe with the enemy heroes in PvP. It’s impossible to level them up from scratch in the PvP modes. The only problem is that they don’t have an OT co-op mode currently, but I think that’s coming in February or March, with Scarif.

I just miss when heroes weren't a thing in the very first game or just a temporary power up in 2. I feel like it takes away from the whole "Play as the common trooper" thing when I can just spawn as one of 20 heroes.

It made for great 'oh gently caress, it's Vader! - let's get the gently caress out of here!' moments. Of course, being 2003ish era multiplayer ai they were rather comically easy to avoid, or would hang around non-strategic command posts, or even air juggle in a silly fashion as you pounded round after round of AT-AT blasts at them, but the concept is cool. This game is entirely to focused on microtransactions and incentives for people to play star wars dressups though for it to not be a thing any more. Plus I think I'm in the minority - most people want to swing a lightsaber around and fly around spastically.

The AI in those old games was comically bad. Still have fond memories of trying to land boarding parties in the space maps only for the AI to then try to take off and end up crashing in the wall.

How bad is the BF2 online community in terms of trouncing noobs? I'm lousy at twitch FPS gameplay and I don't subscribe to PS4 online services, but I love the idea of starfighter multiplayer.

it's definitely hard starting out, but if you want a quick way to level up your classes you can play the coop modes.

Well, no one’s going to yell at you for playing badly or anything, the big game modes are 40-player so you just blend in with all the other people running around. And since it’s objective-based you can still contribute to the team even without getting any kills. But I don’t think it’s too bad anyway. If nothing else, the starfighter mode is full of bots so you’ll still rack up a bunch of kills

The progression system is kind of poo poo in that there are literally upgrades for 'does more damage' and 'take less damage' - so it can be a bit frustrating early on as you level up and constantly get blown up by people with max upgrades. That said, the game is that fast and hectic that you're practically right back into it afterwards, so it doesn't stay frustrating for all that long. They had a triple experience point weekend last weekend though and I just played a bunch of co-op (which is actually good, and fun) and managed to level up most of the standard soldiers to max out the star cards that I use.

Also the blasters you unlock for the different classes generally vary wildly. The second gun for assault is a 3 round burst and is almost a sniper rifle for how accurate it shoots. The next gun after is basically a 100 shot smg that can't hit anything beyond 30 feet. Also after a few levels you can start swapping out gear. My assault rocks improved thermal detonators, the vanguard, and my dart is replaced with a med stim. BB-8 is an rear end in a top hat. I spent a whole game once as flame troopers trying to torch the little poo poo.

Having even one friend on your squad to coordinate with can make a huge difference, especially in Heroes Vs. Villains.

Hell yeah, psn dudes whats up. I haven't played this game since the first major overhaul, but I do remember enjoying it for its mindless shooter qualities, and other than the controls, the starfighter battles. psn is fresh420prince, definitely more than willing to join in with other people.
