[HAPPY NEWS] Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is making a big comeback

How much DLC do I have to buy to enjoy this shit? I haven't played in years

I'm sure it still looks better than any new game too

None, they never made paid DLC for this

Pretty sure all DLC was free

All EA had to do was only charge for skins/cosmetics and they would have printed money, but no they had to go full retard with the loot boxes. This game is 8 years old without an update in 5 years and still pulling decent numbers.

Game gets to the point where it's getting only praise

Literally endless amounts of characters, maps, vehicles and weapons they can add

Decide to drop it for BF5

God I hate EA

i want to play it but it says there's an issue with my EA account whenever i try to log in, then the links they provide don't actually take me anywhere i can resolve the issue

They abandoned it because EA decided they didn't want anything to do with licensed deals anymore.

why are people playing it again

People are remembering that its fun

Not buying til Battlefront+ drops
Theyre gay faggots that are begging EA to buttfuck them again with a battlefront 3

Andor + Fortnite Star Wars + a bunch of big youtubers are playing it

Andor Kino + Revenge of the Sith rerelease reminded everyone that Star Wars can be good if retards aren't in charge

I enjoyed it but I was sad at the backlash for the "loot boxes" and "p2w" it was like the most manufactured outrage ever, you could play for a few days and have everything unlocked, it was not some massive time investment, and because of this backlash of the "gambling" EA dropped it very quickly

They didn't drop it for BF5, they dropped it for BF2042, which was somehow objectively worse than BF5 when released.

The lootboxes it shipped with at launch were pure cancer

I didn't read the thread but is it f2p and do I need an EA account or any other shit like that to play?

they didn't get it when it was free on Epic

Sad

Its not F2P, but it regularly gets discounted to less than $10 on Steam.

It's not free, there was a day where you could get it free on Epic, but not anymore, and yes, you need an EA account

no
yes

On sale recently for like $5.

So this is how it works out now, huh? Games released years ago that suddenly surged with players out of the blue?

Its been a slow snowball of regaining players ever since they fixed borked servers and a cheating epidemic

The system they had planned pre launch was complete cancer and they still launched with a shitty one. The backlash and that reddit downvote record is exactly what EA deserved.

Thanks, frens. I'm not interested in paying for an online only game or making an EA account. I'll pass.

It was fun, battlefront 3 needs twice the players per server and better anti cheat. As I was scrolling tiktok the normies was commenting on random videos the hashtag in the OP picture #makebattlefront3 so I guess the star wars fortnite stuff and tv series have invigored some zoomers.

You know some redditor calculated how long it would take to unlock the two heroes available at launch and it was about 80 hours for both, so itd definitely take more than a few days unless your playing the game nonstop without sleep, and that was just for the heroes.

It usually coincides with some shitlike may the 4th and Arc Raiders being made by some of the same devs obviously.

It has a very mid campaign and some decent bot content. Also an excellent co-op mode which is only 4 players.

Let's be real 80 hours is nothing, I don't know if that was true, and you didn't have to unlock them as you got plenty of heroes for free, like how long does it take to unlock a golden skin in call of duty? But sure adding some long ass grind for something you can pay for incentives them to prolong the grind, but a lot of replayability of games are tied to ingame items you work for or achievements, skins etc, it's part of the game loop
As I said I didn't give a shit when I played the open beta or playing it on the game pass

Returned to it since 2020 due to the hype

No team balancing per usual almost every game is one sided

Some players are using mods and cheating their ass off with instakill bullets

Only get it if you're on console, PC is gay per usual

CoD golden skins that maybe 1% of the playerbase goes for

WHOLE FUCKING CHARACTER

You're retarded

calling the campaign mid is insane, it's total dogshit as far as shooter campaigns go

Its fine gameplay wise, entirely passable. The story is complete dogshit though.

I digress but almost every CoD game has a different way of grinding the gold camo
Some are quick like MWII
Others are absolutely retarded like MW19

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required

If were comparing it to COD this wasnt the same as grinding for a skin, this was equivalent to grinding to be able to use that particular gun in the first place, while playing against other people who had that gun that was a straight upgrade to yours. I can definitely see why it pissed people off initially, i know that it would have taken me months to grind for it because of my schedule.

It's one of the best looking games of all time, mogs AAA slop like Doom Dark Ages and without requiring DLSS framegen shit to run decently.

sucks that EA will have to abandon frostbite because all the devs that made it have jumped ship and all the Indians they're hiring can't use it

Unironically yeah. This game came out 8 years ago and mogs a lot of shit coming out today. Same with Battlefield 1

A trusted source

Honestly, if Battlefront 3 gets made I hope it isn't made by EA

Problem is any other studio would make some imitation slop running on UE5, only DICE could possibly give us a real sequel running on Frostbite

If anyone makes it, it’ll be respawn. They are their Star Wars studio now

It's not even the best looking Star Wars game
That title belongs to Battlefront 2015 and nobody is playing it

They had a Star Wars shooter in development but it got canceled.

unlock heroes

never get the chance to play it anyway

EA started a marketing campaign, they even got a bunch of zoomers to spam "battlefront 3, spread the word" in every tiktok video, it is not organic at all

the earliest they could possibly start development on Battlefront 3 is after the release of BF6 which isn't until next year most likely

Who do you want? Ubisoft lol?

Fuck, nostalgia hitting hard. Should I reinstall and pwn newbies with Anakin?

latest.png - 448x560, 501.06K

This game was never good.

Have they added anything? I think last time I played on PS4 I got the semi auto sniper unlocked and the alien head skins and kind of got bored of it. Would love to replay if they added stuff. I think when I dropped off they had the ewok hunt stuff which was a cool idea but not really engaging me.

Tbf they added a fuckton of new classes, heroes and levels. Sure they could probably add some new stuff from the Disney+ shows but theyve covered almost everything from the movies.

Why the sudden hype? I thought Star Wars was dead

Game is better than it will ever get credit for because it launched like shit and its EA. The outrage was justified but they removed all that almost instantly and still added tons of new content and modes.

Marketing campaign.

Because it's May bitch nigga

Probably because the new Andor show was good and got everyone wanting to jump back on the Star Wars wagon

They added a new big multiplayer mode a few new worlds, about 5 new classes, some new heroes, and a few other extra modes like Ewok Hunt and Co-op

Honestly I’ve never stopped. I always visited and there were always people playing. There was a long period tho where galactic assault could NEVER fill a whole lobby, needing 3-10 players for the longest time, but this isn’t an issue anymore. Hero’s and Villains is fun too, when your not playing with autistic people.

Because 2015 SWBF is less than half the game. Its only got like 5 maps without the DLC and 4 classes. It does look fucking incredible though.

basically we got fucking great kino

Nothing can be so good to excuse that Disney did to Star Wars
Are people this easily forgiving. I should have known that normies have no standards

Nothing can be so good to excuse that Disney did to Star Wars

Nothing more which was not done by PT

cope, the ST did significantly more damage to the OT than the PT did
it made all their sacrifice mean nothing and absolutely ruined Luke as a character

no, people are able to see Andor as a completely seperate breath of air while acknowlegding disney completly fucked up the sequels, and filoni is a manchild faggot who now just plays with his gulp sclhittos.
Skeleton crew was fun if a one off watch, Acolyte is hot trash, couldnt finish it, mando is garbage now.
Andor was great from start to finish and it's over now, pack it up and that's all.

breath deep the space petrol fumes.
youtube.com/watch?v=x0hXnZ42eJ0

the ST did significantly more damage to the OT than the PT

Agree. But PT established a precedent.

I actually had some fun with this after they patched it a bit, maybe I'll give it a try again seeing as there is still a player base apparently.

Andor being good doesn't make these games good.

t. EA shill

Andor being good is what's spurring on the reusrgance and demand for more good star wars vidya.
people are expressing that want by flocking to an easily accessable multiplayer game that's fun to play if you're not getting raped by hero niggers.
i dont know how to explain it any easier to you.

Because there are too many faggots with zero standards.

Season two was absolute garbage.

You're a retard with shit taste, everything about it was rushed which made the pacing awful.

did you want them to keep doing the show until Skarsgard's in his 80s and Luna is in his 50s?

Star wars is popular again because of andor and Disney has been so fucking bad at releasing star wars vidya, especially multiplayer vidya, that people would rather play an 8 year old abandoned EA game.

Even if, there is literally nothing that can fix the trash that is the Sequels unless they recon them completely.
And even if they do that, they blew their chance to let the OG trio be one final time on the big screen on trash corporate slop that destroyed the franchise

I resent these games for existing because now I have to clarify "the good ones" when I want to talk about Pandemic's Battlefront games

You don't even bother to mention the Ghorman Resistance, stop posting you retarded faggot.
In the span of five minutes we go from Syril infiltrating the resistance to the German leader wanting to kill him.

Yep. Its a shame that "We want Battlefront 3" will only ever refer to the dumbed down EA version.

What the fuck is wrong with EA, you have one of the biggest revenue generating IPs ever, and decide to not only make no good games with it but no games at all.
It makes no sense

It's ironic that Kennedy fought tooth and nail for this and based on the Gilroy interviews, its very clear Filoni and at least part of the story group hated it and tried to sabotage it.

I can't believe Disney never did anything with podracing, what a waste

Filoni and his circle hate Andor in general because it exposes their trash writing and they hate that fans love Andor and consider the rest of Disney Star Wars trash

That doesn't make up for her colossal fuck up of not planning the ST story out in advance and getting competent people to make them

one of the biggest reasons that folks at Lucasfilm don't like Andor is because Gilroy brought his outside production company to make it instead of using them, it's just salt

lost my ea account because ???

can't unbind the lost account from my steam account because it's lost

Their exclusivity contract came at a time when mobile games skyrocketed in popularity and console/pc game development costs/time exploded. They released like a dozen shitty mobile games, only 1-2 are still going at this point, and then tried to capitalize on battlefront being the central pillar of multiplayer and fallen order being their single player pillar. The problem was battlefront 1 had no depth and battlefront 2 had a shit progression system. Battlefront 2 eventually got somewhat fixed, but the damage was done and they moved the dev team to battlefield V and then 2042, which is ironic because both of those games are even worse than nubattlefront 2.

If it was up to Filoni, Ahsoka would be in every episode and all the rebels would be replaced with dechipped Clone OCs. Maybe add some Mandalorians as well.

lucas loaning out the license to a 3rd party production company/studio to make kino/vidya

it sounds like this is the winning formula to me, not JJ abrams or EA exclusivity rights.
bunch of fucking clowns.

fucking furry cowboy nigger needs to get booted back to nickelodeon.
Fuck the Volume, fuck Filoni and fuck Favreau.

Remember how EA somehow turned this steaming shitpile around, made it fun, got goodwill back from their player base and were actually growing in players weekly before they completely cut out support from it just when the game was beginning to flourish so they could release their magnum opus, Battlefield 2042, on time? I member.

LucasArts closing down was a mistake. 1313 and George's Maul game where he was literally willing to bring time travel into canon just to bring a big tittied darth talon into the same time period as Maul was a tragedy.

God that massacre was absolute trash.

They've locked down the plaza

Get told to fire at will

They barely shoot before the resistance starts firing back

Troppers don't care about people with plot armour

People can just leave the plaza at any point

God I fucking hate season 2 and the retards who enjoyed it.

I don't wanna defend her, she is clearly just a yesman that will put a man she thinks can make a good job and then wants to take credit for it, but on paper how would she have known that JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson are such colossal fuckups? On paper they are big name Hollywood directors that know how to make big cinema. JJ Abrams already did a modern Star Trek reboot and while it wasn't anything world moving it was a safe reboot and she hoped he would do the same for Star Wars. Rian Johnson on the other hand is known for his creative side so it makes perfect sense to get him for the second movie after you launched a successful reboot to tell the truly interesting story (and that's the way Disney wanted to sell TLJ to you, as this daring outside of the box thinking movie that revolutionizes Star Wars)
Of course we now know they both created horrible trash bags of movies but how was Kennedy supposed to know these Hollywood giants are pure fuckups?

the original ST treatment by George also included a Talon type big tiddy goth Twi'lek sith too lol George was based

I thought Kennedy is the bad one with woke garbage, not Filoni.

Watching Ahsoka was so funny because it was abundantly clear that "this is just a cartoon with live action actors". It should have just been an animated series. Even with Thrawn back, if they aren't going to bring HTTE fully back and just make a shallow ripoff, its not worth being live action. Not even Titus fucking Pullo (RIP) could carry that shit script.

Turns out she's just bad at managing/planning, Filoni and his story group have been the problem all along.

any kind of resurgence like this i believe is bots/false reports to generate false hype for a sequel/something else

It's difficult as fuck to retain a community and playerbase, its not as simple as paying some shills to tell their 5 year old audience to play the game.

Maybe im underestimating the scope of audience shills have but i dont think so.

but on paper how would she have known that JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson are such colossal fuckups?

Because his Star Trek movies, despite being financially successful, were schlock with zero substance. He has a long track record of making fun spectacle with mystery boxes but zero actual substance.
And Rian Johnson was a relative unknown in Hollywood besides Looper that they gave free reign to crash the entire franchise into the ground if he so pleased. Giving him free reign was and huge gamble that blew up in their faces. Extremely irresponsible.

Anon Babble hated this game when it came out. What happened?

You just didn't understand his vision.

filoni_slop.webm - 1280x720, 3.44M

still best Star Wars edit.
youtu.be/SDKr0-Llooc

George's Maul game where he was literally willing to bring time travel into canon just to bring a big tittied darth talon into the same time period as Maul

Fagloni went and did that in Rebels to bring back Ahsoka.
I cannot stand that man's waifuism

Kennedy is shit when she intervenes with creative process, but she probably okay when she does what manager is supposed to do, find proper people for proper job.

Cheating is still prevalent. Maybe not like it used to be but 2 out of 3 games yesterday had one for me.

Or it was not about Andor but a fight for the SW control, given that Filoni had success and Kennedy didn't.

George is permanently 20th century cinema brained. Fanservice is part of the sales pitch. There are no bras in space.

She's a Yesman. She trusts the competent guys to make the right calls and takes the blame when it goes wrong. Nothing more, nothing less.

Same reason everyone hated battlefront 2 (2005) when it came out for being literally just battlefront but with less gameplay, but suddenly loved it in 2013 when the next gen remakes were announced.

this is what living in ronald rumps galaxy is like

I wouldn't say yesman or trusting competent people. She just takes a decision and then sticks with it, no matter what. Can go well, can fail horribly.

cool, now if only ea/dice/disney can work out a deal to get battlefront 2 finished properly, or jumpstart battlefront 3
youtube.com/watch?v=3WSxJxYbIQY

there should be no paid items or loot boxes
the gamer will buy it expecting to get lots of value out of one game, and bf2 has a ton of value

it's only missing
mustafar
coruscant
utapau
and a few vehicles and heroes
it could have become the ultimate starwars game

the problem is disney
dice wanted to do bf3, disney was greedy with the license and would need to sell 20% more to make a profit, so ea said no thanks

nostalgia and it looks phenomenal
youtube.com/watch?v=09Wx8ezK6zo

Ahsoka really was just Rebels Season 5. Buuuut they did nail the castings on Ezra, Sabine, and Hera that I didn't mind it just being live action Rebels. Plus that allowed them to bring back Hayden where his parts were pretty fucking kino.

The fights in that series are so bad.

Fuck, what a lukewarm piece of shit that show was.
amazing that's in the same universe as Imperial's raping immigrants

his Star Trek movies, despite being financially successful, were schlock with zero substance

do you actually want anything more out of a star wars continuation? its not like there is ever a world where they tell a better star wars than the originals, why not just make a simple summer flick with a story good enough to barely carry 90 minutes, solid characters and interactions, and enough action to make audiences happy.

dice was actually working on a podracing mode for battlefront 2

Revenge of the Sith rerelease reminded everyone that Star Wars can be good

lol!

Zoomers love this fucking game, i scroll thru my instagram and they all want it to come back

why does 2015 look better to you?

better than anything disney put out and made 43 million globally

do you actually want anything more out of a star wars continuation?

a proper story that isnt just a rehash of the last one or makes all the sacrifices and shit of the last guys 30 years ago equate to fuck all.
also no more fucking super weapons, jesus christ.

Its basically the only star wars game they got with mutliplayer until Disney started pouring assets into fortnite. Gen X/Elder Millenials were spoiled from 1999-2008, zoom zooms got cal kestis and table scraps.

They could have had some modicum of world building and something that wasn't a 1:1 retelling of a previous film in the franchise
I did bash Star Trek but at least the story was original for the franchise

Because his Star Trek movies, despite being financially successful, were schlock with zero substance.

Yes this is exactly what they wanted. A non-risky but competently made continuation of Star Wars. On paper JJ Abrams seems like the right guy to call.

And Rian Johnson was a relative unknown in Hollywood besides Looper that they gave free reign to crash the entire franchise into the ground if he so pleased. Giving him free reign was and huge gamble that blew up in their faces

Again, on paper it seems like a great idea. After you got the audience back with generic slop you woo them with true art. Rian Johnson seemed like a competent enough guy to take Star Wars into a new direction.

Like I said I don't wanna defend Kennedy, but from a corporate point of view it looks like she made the right calls and it was just pure bad luck that she got the two worst fuck ups in the entire industry
And I say this as a professional JJ Abrams hater. I always knew that he was trash and never got why his stuff is so popular. He was always an obvious hack, but at the time when he made Star Wars that was not publicly acknowledged

I did bash Star Trek but at least the story was original for the franchise

this, into darkness was dogshit though

better than anything disney put out

doesn't mean it's good

made 43 million globally

cashing in on zoomoid nostalgia

What made you want to make a webm of this scene?
Star Wars sloptards are so easily impressed LMAO

pepe nuke.gif - 640x640, 2.63M

i hate women and a woman got shot in the face

??? This can't be real. Why do they fight like that? Is there some lore reason for why they're so slow or was the production on this actually that bad.

doesn't mean it's good

pacing and dialogue is not the best but its still a fun movie

cashing in on zoomoid nostalgia

given how they ruined the brand that shouldnt be possible that was the point

Rian Johnson seemed like a competent enough guy to take Star Wars into a new direction.

based on what?
And again why on earth wasn't the story of the trilogy written out before anyone was chosen to adapt it?

The dude looks like he's about to burst out laughing at any moment.

Is there some lore reason for why they're so slow

middle aged women.

The problem is that even if battlefront 3 does get greenlit and they even re-use a ton of assets from nubattlefront 1/2, it will take 5 years minimum to complete. Fads will change, desire will change, and even if Disney manages to put out a movie/series nearly as good as andor (they won't), if they aren't willing to support the game for years after it's release, they shouldn't bother. If anything, there's a higher chance of the nubf2 servers being shut down than their is of a fully realized third game.

i keep hearing that the new lightsabers they use for the show suck its not a effect added in later but a legit glowstick but it breaks easily

Battlefront 2 is a big downgrade from 2015 though.

Why do zoomies always latch on to shitty sequels just because they had a bigger youtube shill marketing budget?

I bought it for $5 and got 100 hours out of it. It's a genuinely great game. But my only gripe is that they killed it to start working on BF 2042, which was fucking garbage. EA is such a shit company holy fuck.

Dont make BF3 then the singleplayer is just gonna be some DEI shit no one cares about. Just rerelease BF2 as a freemium MP game and add some new maps

Yes, why is that funny?

but no they had to go full retard with the loot boxes

they literally didn't and reddit retards like you who regugitate false information are the actual reason the game didn't do as well. Literally best game Dice/EA made in the past decade but it got shit on for "hypothetical" lootboxes.
Most content from in EA/Dice game practically ever, like 17 maps on launch, a campaign, space battles, we had everything and you faggots all jumped on the Reddit train

literally the same problem as on ANH that made the vader/kenobi fight look slow

just paint it over, it looks fine

Why do they fight like that?

Two hags

You have one guess.

pacing and dialogue is not the best but its still a fun movie

file.png

given how they ruined the brand that shouldnt be possible that was the point

I do not think you understand the concept of nostalgia. Weird, considering you seem to love the prequels.

file.png - 1056x594, 1.51M

the game originally had it's perks locked behind randomized lootboxes

Yeah, its not the same type of saber Ewan/Hayden used. They can't get as physical.

The game was good anyway.

I love how redditors and shills defended this as good because it was "slow and based on real martial arts like the original trilogy" when it's obvious the Ahsoka actress is just too old and overweight to do the choreography.

that fight being slow was never an issue obi wan was old and he knew there was no escape

prequels perfected what lightsaber battles could be and disney downgraded them

Star wars fans are the saddest motherfuckers. Somebody post the obi wan actor quote, you know the one.

The actress playing the witch is actually a stunt master and can do really cool shit, but she had to dial it down because Rosario Dawson can't into fighting.

also there's million dollar fragile LED screen right behind them, if they move too quick they might damage it

virtual production is retarded
just go on location if you need to save money

The problem with 1 is that even though it looked amazing and had better maps, it really was a more hollow game experience than 2. Its really the inverse of the original battlefront issues. OG1 had better gameplay, but OG2 had the more iconic set pieces.

I do not think you understand the concept of nostalgia. Weird, considering you seem to love the prequels.

I love the prequel era and all the extended media. Even as kid i found the dialogue weird especially in Attack of the Clones. Doesnt change that 25 years later i find the vision of a autistic idea man more appealing than the corporate slop of disney

Starting with The Force Awakens, they switched to sabers that have physical LED blades much like those Force FX sabers. They are super fragile and a huge pain to work with, they've been a plague on every production and I have no idea why they don't just switch back to the old method of CGIing over a green metal rod.

if they move too quick they might damage it

How exactly? Stop making up dumbass excuses.

People only stopped playing it because EA took down the servers.
It was a great game.

They don't really have to make a new game though, they could just go back to updating BF2. Start charging for DLC if that is what is required.

it's a straight forward pew pew shooter with excellent theming and a lot of cool gimmick modes

BF2 classes adds nothing, just restricts the gameplay, and mixing the eras just creates a soulless slop experience, and the level design is honestly terrible in comparison

and somehow the graphics are actually worse
I don't know what it was about 2014/15 but the games released then are still some of the best looking ever made

He was more based then we knew except spider Maul, that idea is still stupid.

The most popular modes, capital supremacy and the co-op, don't have mixed eras.

why they don't just switch back to the old method of CGIing over a green metal rod.

Because boomers complained about everything in the PT looking fake and artificial with green screens and SFX everywhere and jedi flipping around like circus performers so Disney took that feedback to heart and now everything has to use realistic props and be slow and gritty.

Rosario Dawson isn't trained in sword stunts

She's also wearing the headdress for the Togruta tentacles that hinders her movement

Disney uses new Lightsabers that are more fragile compared to the old thin sticks that Hayden, Ewan, and Ray Park used that let them go faster

They don't have Nick Gillard to direct the choreography

mixed eras

You don't play the game you cry about.

a retard who can barely swing a lightsaber qualifies as a "jedi" now

Some random chink movie from the year 2000 was able to feature hags sword fighting more elegantly than this. This literally just looks like shit. I'm not even a star warsfag and the choreography is embarrassing. If it was written in that way i.e. "muh nu-jedi don't have training cuz da old jedi got genocided" it's bad writing.

Even the OT didn't use self-emitting sabers after ANH, the beam effect was rotoscoped in.

prequel yoda and maul in coop

yeah they do

I don't play it because it sucks balls compared to the first one

I'm just wondering why are zoomies latching onto shitty sequels? it's happened more than once. I'm guessing it's just because they have no personalities or opinions of their own, and EA keeps putting a LOT of money into youtube viral marketing for their failed sequels

he probably means heroes not being era-locked in Galactic Assault which I agree is retarded and never made any sense

lootboxes

It only makes sense under the lootbox model, where there was no certainty you would have a hero for the right era unlocked.

I just don't get why it was never fixed
Galactic Assault is arguably the most immersive mode in the game by design since there's an actual story to each map

the game originally had it's perks locked behind randomized lootboxes

No it fucking didn't lol, lootboxes NEVER got activated at launch, EA actually fucking listened to the people who bitched about it in beta
but retards like you still think you know what the fuck you're talking about
Loot boxes got added for like 2-3 months almost a year after the game launched before they got pulled for good
Thanks for proving my point

youtubers

YouTube is for zoomers as the news is for boomers, a brain washing machine. At least they are actually playing a game for once….the inferior battlefront 2 mind you.

also the perks weren't locked behind anything, you got in game currency that could buy any perk or hero and it wasn't hard to earn, ever

He was more based then we knew

jarjar.jpg - 548x812, 58.69K

No it fucking didn't lol, lootboxes NEVER got activated at launch

Shroud spent $1,500+ day one on lootboxes to unlock Darth Vader a few hours before everyone else.
Why the fuck are you lying you retarded faggot?

Some spaghetti code reason I would imagine, where it would be more effort than it was worth to fuck with which heroes are selectable in the GA maps. While setting up new modes post-launch, they were able to era restrict them without issue.

you still have to grind for increased stats, and it takes a fair amount of time to reach level 3 on all your gear

obviously you were meant to be able to buy better stats outright to skip the grind, but even if they removed that it's still retarded to have veteran players literally do more damage with their guns in a pvp shooter

BF5 did the same shit and it's inexcusable

the perks weren't locked behind anything, you got in game currency that could buy

Because some eras don't have enough Heroes to fill out the roster. *Cough*Sequels*Cough*

Like the Prequel era had enough Heroes to be era-locked. But who the fuck is going to enjoy only playing Rey and Kylo Ren if you're playing...whatever the fuck the war was called between the Resistance and First Order

I'm sad they never added the ship levels to pve. Sometimes I just want a non-sweaty lobby filled with bots and not hackers.

It's china btw, the same thing is happening with BF1.

nothing to see here

Yeah but the lightsaber choreography was still slow. Look at Return of the Jedi and Luke's duel with Vader. It's exactly like Ahsoka vs Baylan.

youtube.com/watch?v=wUGH_wBUQnA

ST had enough by the time Celebration Edition came out, hence why they era locked ST supremacy, they just never went in and fixed Galactic Assault after the fact

Crazy thing, even with all they added, the game is still less content filled and a worse deal than the original BF2.

BF 1 had no Prequel Trilogy content
Into the TRASH it goes
Also the hero selection only being accessible by chance was terrible
