Tomorrow, everyone will play Battlefront 2 (EA)

I never liked Battlefront. That goes for the originals as well. Granted I was playing Battlefield 1942/Vietnam/2 at the time and these type of games just felt like pure downgrades in the 32-64 player maps. Maybe its the fact that the Star Wars guns never felt fun to use outside of the Darkforces/Jedi Outcast games.

big corpo says "do as we say for no reason whatsoever with zero incentive to you"

people actually do it

Holy retarded consoomers

Lootboxes were the reason that game got a poor reputation. And as far as I'm aware, that was corrected.

Probably over 200k across all platforms now

can I play KotOR 2 instead?

because EA blatantly stopped supporting the game when it finally got good. People want EA to continue supporting the game by adding more content or make Battlefront 3.

It was good and getting updated still for a span of a couple years, was still cut short unfairly though.

Why? Was Andor that good?

No, the Fortnite event was that bad

Gonna play the Pandemic one instead

Tempting, but I am not digging up my ancient EA account or paying $40 on an 8 year old game.

Not a chance.

I'm of the opposite mind. I loved the original Battlefronts explicitly because they felt so much better than Battlefield, you could hit targets thanks to accurate weapons and blaster bolts being reliable tracers letting you know how far you needed to lead shots. Unlike Battlefield where the multiplayer had abysmal server-side netcode for all of the Refractor games, and guns had wide minimum accuracy which made any shootout beyond point blank pure chance.
Most of all, Battlefront's maps are excellent and have great variety in their layouts, the singleplayer bots of Battlefront were also much more competent compared to Battlefield's bots which often fail to function at all in some maps. Even without multiplayer, I can still go back to BFII and do a round of Galactic Conquest or the mode with super high bot populations and have a blast.

I've still yet to touch the new EA Battlefronts just because I don't want to install Origin or EA App or whatever it's called for a single game.

Darth Vader AI rambling about Rommanian kleptomania was pretty good though

still below BF1

and people wonder why EA doesnt give a shit about starwars.

Its been on sale for like $20 or less

the people who made BF2017 good wanted to make BF3

ended up leaving because they didn't want to just focus on Battlefield

now people want another Battlefront

Fuck off, EA shill.

no cross play and only console tards went back to it. I don't feel like downloading 90gb to not even be able to play this casual shooter with my casual bros

Please, just give the ip to someone who doesnt think starwars = IP for mass market retards. There has to be someone out there who doesnt agree that a game has to be stupid and shallow in order to succeed.

Hopefully the next game actually delivers what it promises and has the Empire as the heroes.

the star wars mod for Squad is kino. a less arcadey experience would be a huge success for them but the suits would never go for it

the people who made BF2017 good wanted to make BF3

it isn't good, The only reason you like it is because its wearing the skin of your favowite ip.

Battlefront 2 sucks ass thanks to star cards making vets overpowered as fuck

all the devs that made this game are now making the finals and arc raiders. you can feel the dice influence in those games more than actual battlefield. I don't want a battlefront 3 from nudice

If the plug hadn't been pulled, I still doubt we would have gotten a BF3. BF2 just would have gotten a few more years of updates before it slowly tapered off.

This. First one was better. 2's gunplay is dogshit too.

You know what would be hilarious? If someone ran a counter event in the OG Battlefront 2. The servers have been fixed, right? I'm up for it.

star citizen is a ridiculous scam but the autism and vision driving it is what used to drive starwars games. Now we have cynical retards chasing overwatch and who use hearthstone as inspiration for how to manage skills. I cant even remember the last time i played a starwars game that didn't explicitly feel dumbed down for children and casuals.

Literally every Youtuber is making videos on this game now

come back and play a game that rightfully died because it was shit

nah chief, I'm good.

Too busy playing Battlefield 6. BF2 was ass with garbage feeling guns and is utterly filled with cheaters at this point anyway.

Good luck getting even one full lobby together

isn't Jackfrags supposed to be making 10 minute videos on Battlefield 6 though

interesting comparisons. publishers see the success of stuff like Overwatch and want a piece of the pie, but they don't seem to look at the billion dollars Star Shitizen has managed to milk out of people and see an opportunity to eat it's lunch. People want something that feels deeply immersive and that can be achieved without going full autism and making working bathrooms in every ship like Roberts does.

I think it's kinda happening again with extraction shooters. People see the success of Tarkov and think that making a dumbed down version of that for normies will be a success, but I think that it is because of its nightmarish intricacy that Tarkov got popular to begin with. Lots of people play that game because of gun porn rather than the actual gamemode

co-opting helldivers 2's iconography

you can taste the desperation

member when the trailer for the patch that saved the game came out and mogged the trailer promoting BFV that came out earlier that year

i'm not paying money for a game that will be dead again next week

I played it when it came out on PS4

That's where most of the playerbase still is

BF1 is popping off for the same reason.

Game looks incredible and runs at a stable 144 fps on any 30 series card without needing DLSS or frame gen or any of that gay shit

it came out before supersampling and ray tracing memes

They are incapable of realising that success no longer follows watered down experiences with "nice" graphics. It will take them being completely eradicated by autistic indies before they understand the new era is built on hardcore unique IP that gain traction. elite and star citizen are successful, squadrons wasn't, souls is more successful than fallen order and its sequel, battlefield peaks higher than battlefront, people want the real thing.

Not on PC it isn't

We didn't know how good we had it without this bullshit

yeah but the point is they dont need to pay a license for this level of success so why the fuck would they update or make a sequel to an IP they dont own instead of making shit for IP they do? Battlefield1 is literally just Battlefront 2 with a different skin.

Personally I want more single player Star Wars games.

The Republic is the best faction

that's pretty cool maybe I'll-

oh the bad one

HAHAHA No HAHAHAHAHA

It got good after they patched the dumb shit out, actually. Barring that, mods let it have some good fun.

It has single player content, so if the online dies you can still play the campaign and offline modes against bots

boot up game

dude with max whatever cards murders everyone

gets some jedi hero in a minute

proceeds to ruin the entire match for everyone that wants to play normally.

This was my experience the last two times I played this on these HYPE weekends.
Never again. The game is ass.

Getting a hero then doing everything you can to make sure no one else gets them is fun though

no thanks, I'll play the 2005 one if someone makes working servers tho

No it's not. These games (at least the originals) are for fans that just want to play as the grunts.

maps get pretty samey

they feel rather unbalanced and quite boring, in OG 1 and 2 there would constantly be asymmetrical fronts that form, in this game it's very commonly just 3v2 command points the entire game with whoever takes it first defending it

Maybe the supremacy mode just sucks but this is my experience with it so far

sta rwars

when are amerilards moving on from this shit?

It really does ruin the game. Meanwhile, as soon as you get the hero the match either ends or you get one shot by someone somehow. Everyone who keeps the hero the whole match are cheaters.

It still amazes me how Polis Massacre is something we all experienced.

and those "fans" are lightsaber fodder

Did they ever add a "no heroes" game mode? The game is unironically fun apart from fags playing heroes 24/7 getting 200+ kills with zero deaths because you basically have to try to die as one unless another enemy hero who's also a cum slurper decides to take a break from farming kills at spawn to fight them.

Probably columns A. and B., though I can't complain since it seems it might have worked

Try Galactic Assault if you want more variety, Supremacy especially for the OT and ST maps limits the gameplay to pretty small sections of the maps that play pretty similarly and then move on the the capital ships which are identical.

constantly tossing mines at the choke point doors will always be one of my fondest vidya memories

No.

Did they ever add a "no heroes" game mode?

Yeah, Blast

yeah their own marketing campaign worked, who would have thought

Blast is TDM with just the basic classes and elite troopers, no heroes.

Is there an option to toggle off Bradley Baker's voice and have only Morrison's?

It's because they are literally cheating. Anyone who tries to use the heroes without cheating always get melted instantly by 30 people shooting them. Those fag's with all those kills have invincibility hacks on.

No. The clone and droid voices in the game are awful.

Just downloaded it because it was fun

Forced to login to EA bullshit and "grant access" to the game through my computer (???)

Takes a long time to load, whatever, compiling shaders

"Error: Cannot connect to EA servers, try again" at the menu

Spam connect 10 times

Finally does

Enter a match, takes ages to find and load it

Finally into the match

Obvious hackers around

Whatever, pew pew is fun

Go to space now, board the vessels

Crashes

I just remembered it's still EA shit
It is fun though.

There are no hackers you lying faggot also what kind of shitbox are you running this game on that it crashes

Sadly no. Fuck Filoni for forcing his cartoon voices on everything. Same reason Anakin and Obi-Wan and Count Dooku all have non-film voices too.

Do you have the game on DX12? Put it to DX11 and you will have a much better time.

There are no hackers

I literally just played this yesterday and today after not touching it for 5 years, and every single match was a hacker infested mess. Lying retarded shill

The hacker situation was in the recent past a whole lot worse, they are still there but it used to be that every match had at least 5 hackers breaking the game

Hello sir, 4060Ti sir, very good rig sir, no liying around sir, for Krishna and Vishnu I sware

Yeah I noticed that DX12 also fucks it up. I was on DX11 when the crash happened though.

lmao boomers are in for a surprise when they realize no one on the internet today grew up with the old BFs and kids that were in elementary school when 2015front came out are in their early 20s and have nostalgia for EAfronts

EAfront 1 sold an absurd amount of copies for how thin it was

the one good Star Wars non-vidya media in years is the one that's not like Star Wars at all

hilarious

We stand here amidst MY ACHIEVEMENT

NOT YOURS

It looked really nice for a PS4 game, I'll give it that much.

And as far as I'm aware, that was corrected.

All of the credits I have can't buy anything so I have to grind out shitty weapons to unlock the good ones. FUCK

But it fucking sucks though. Like, even fucking 2042 is better.

I thought it was good, but the big win from it is that people woke up and realized Filoni Wars was ass.

i'm not in for a surprise I simply don't give a fuck

Play co-op, the amount of XP you get in that mode is absurd. You can max out every class and hero pretty quickly

Source?

What a bizarre shill campaign. This game is like 8 years old and was widely considered a failure at launch.

Battlefield 1 is all cheaters too sadly

Shut the fuck up nigger

Me, bitch. I was there when it came out, I was there for every little patch. It never got good. BFII's core gameplay systems are irrevocably shit and no amount of content patches could fix that.

It was a failure at launch, clawed its way back to having a solid player base after years of patching fixes and new content in, then support was unceremoniously pulled so that DICE could put all manpower on trying to salvage 2042.

I'd take any of these youtube.com/watch?v=sTlNhCqwLeo over Baker. I really don't like his soft Clones.
Add the shitty comedic lines like youtu.be/JLR_L1GoxM8?si=-H3lw52La40ud07t&t=1007 and I'm totally out.

Then why does everyone say it's good

Because it is

big open maps where you could walk (WALK) up to any vehicle, fly it around, have co-pilots, leave, come back

Why did games stop doing this? Why is everything a killstreak now?

Because they're fucking zoomers who grew up on it as Baby's First Big-Team FPS.

Because it encourages people to camp back in the base sitting around doing nothing waiting for vehicles to spawn.

This is gonna peter out in about 2 weeks

Yes, 1 and 5 both. I have encountered one or two in the playtest for 6 already, so obviously the existing hacks STILL fucking work and DICE has done nothing to secure their engine.

The clones having different VAs unironically gave them more personality than the cartoons.

While I don't doubt some of them are, you don't have to cheat to mulch an entire team as a hero. Last time I played, (which was years ago so I may be off by a bit), I remember checking Grevious and with the right cards you can get to something insane like 94% damage resist. Add that to the fact heroes already have a fucked amount of HP and the speed they can move at and you basically will never die if you know how to play them.
All EA shooters have some fucked up bullshit like this, I remember in Battlefield 1 I would get 100:0 KD simply by picking Cavalryman at the start of the game... And getting off the horse. Because Cavalryman had

A gun that one shot in the head, two in the body

A handgun just as good as any other

The ability to heal themselves like a medic

The ability to give themselves ammo

A sword, not that you'd ever use it

And most of all

Full body armor that basically made you into the fucking Terminator, you would only ever die if you got blasted directly by a tank or put yourself in a bad position where you get shot by 5+ people at once, both of which basically never happened once you knew the maps well enough to avoid those problems. (Oh and I guess airplanes could delet you, but airplane delet everything in Battlefield 1)

this desu, that and people just strafing runways and destroying jets before anyone could even take off in them

Nobody did this and even if they did you could always teamkill them because games were good back then.

oh damn people are playing this again?

i remember the difficulty curve of this game

1. get shit stomped by hero
2. learn how to get enough points to get 1st hero
3. finally get a hero, run onto a point to rape everyone, get your wig split

and then you had to still learn how to get first hero AND keep it, that was hard, but so rewarding when you learn

is luke still op?

All modern AAA worships at the altar of streamlining, they think it is equivalent to design elegance. The removal of spawning vehicles was completely retarded and the battlefield team has finally realised this with the new one.

I particularly dislike the droid announcer

I played Battlefield 1 again after years and I just get fucking annihiliated every game and can't tell if it's hackers or if I'm absurdly shit after not playing for so many years

People did that in every single BF to ever exist game until they switched to the new approach

If I had to bet, DICE wanted to avoid the camping that happens in Battlefield. People will either not spawn, so that they can spawn in a vehicle, or will spawn and remain next to the vehicle spawn to insta grab it. By making it a killstreak, it becomes more accessible to a broader range of people.
Like, you have players who'll throw the match in Battlefield if they can't get the vehicles they want. Some will grief their own team. Battlefield 3 had a lot of lunatics who would stay in the base destroying vehicles waiting for a helicopter to spawn.

And then every BF game after was complete garbage.

Anakin is the King now

An old roommate had this on PS4. I played a few matches of it and tried out the campaign, very boring. I can't put my finger on what's so different from the old Battlefronts since it's been a while, but it's lacking something and I am not a fan.

Base griefing lunatic detected

NEED A LITTLE ROOM HERE

I'd rather cope with some lunatic camping the jet spawn than have all vehicles be dumbed down killstreaks that aren't actual interactables on the map.

The OG Battlefronts were mostly Battlefield games with a Star Wars skin, the EAfront games are casual arcady shooters with an emphasis on spectacle.

Why is this being shilled everywhere? What's going on?

Its the opposite of shilling, we are denying Disney their Fortnite skin money.

It's a cinematic corridor shooter with hero abilities pretending to be a battlefield game.
The original games are classic battlefield games.

Kino delivery ngl

none of this was an actual problem in any battlefield game, it is all hypothetical imagined issues. nobody cares if some autist wants to hang around the base and wait for the vehicles, in reality most people dont have the patience which means anyone who wants it can have it.

Disney and EA desperate to drum up interest in a Battlefront 3, and cross promotion with that dogshit Andor show that no one watched.

actually, chads who just want to frag and have fun live rent-free in the heads of autistics who give a shit about "capturing points" and "teamplay"

At first, I thought it was just an organic desire among some fans to play it again. But now I'm pretty sure it is an inorganic marketing scheme. This doesn't feel like real interest, and the game is still a cheater infested mess of bad nerfs and bugs that should have been patched out back in 2018.

playing it on gamepass. it's a'ight. find it really fucking dumb people are using this resurgence to pine for BF3 though. the whole point is here you have a feature complete game with no bullshit, its stays out of its own way, here's a whole ton of SW stuff, go play. why the fuck do people want to go through the EA drip-fed scam cycle all over again.
this is why older live service-y or just games in general, are winning, and new ones are failing. why would you waste time on an overpriced "minimum viable product" promising to be good in 5-10 years. the old ones already have had that time tuning up.

Bungie and Sony have entered the call

last time i played i got fucked in the ass by cheaters every other game. is it still like this?

Yes, without question. Haven't had a single match without them in the past two days since I started playing again.

lol no I won't fuck EA

Retards think there's a marketing campaign right now when they're entirely focused on Battlefield

I'm not defending DICE's decision, I am simply trying to figure out the "why".
The other options I'd give are;

they didn't want to design maps with vehicle spawns

they thought vehicles "spawning in a base" didn't make sense in-game, and having them come from "reinforcements" made more sense.

This doesn't have the EA anti-cheat and even if it did: That wouldn't do shit.

Anyway, yes, there is hackers. Just like BF5 and Vagina have them.

lose all will to play or win when not playing as cool troopers, droids or clones

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE A NEW PEAK

steam sharts

99% of people have it on ea app formerly origin
Read above

1 Mirron tloops!

Same guy

Not making Mando and Mace heroes was a huge fuckup.

At least in BF1 you could easily solve the elite class problem by just bayoneting his ass,

actually this is me

The point is proportions, before this resurgence the game was getting triple digit concurrent players on Steam.

they probably would have happened eventually if the game wasn't cut off

yeah but you can't see the EA numbers so steam is all we got

Dropping support quickly was a huge fuckup. EA/DICE treats it like a Battlefield game and it shows

think about booting it up

remember I need open Origin to play it

lose all interest instantly

Artificial corpo-made hype.

bro this must be a marketing campaign

for a game with no microtransactions that was abandoned like 5 years ago and is free

pol has brainrotted people

Instant action feels like shit, the attack and defend game modes have almost no players and supremacy has pretty small maps

The sequel trilogy content sucks. Holy shit.

Any hype for an EA game is a marketing campaign.

If they come out with a BFIII reveal at some point in the coming months, you will have your answer.

Zero chance of a BFIII happening in the next 6 years minimum, DICE is tied up with Battlefield 6 which is still pretty early in development

lole it's actually hilarious to me how me and everyone else who finished Andor s2 had the same exact idea.

As soon as i finished the finale, i was like, "damn i want more star wars", and i remembered nuSWBF2 so i redownloaded it and was like, "damn they actually put a decent amount of effort into this, it's pretty fun".

now i'm about 30-40 hours in again, the occasional cheater but it doesn't ruin my experience too much.

I watched rogue one instead

It was more like

finish the finale

"damn this show really made everything else look like shit. Especially Disney Wars."

do nothing because the series is dead

The Star Cards were an awful progression system, the fact that EA walked back having them in loot boxes doesn't change how bad they still are. Also you can't set up custom bot matches like the original, and there's no co-op campaign. I hate how there's no vehicles on the map too.

not happening, they literally ripped the devs that saved Battlefront 2 to work on Battleshit 2047 despite them not wanting to and they all quit.

They should have added them instead of the fucking droid balls, but I guess they needed to add more sequel era heroes even if nobody cares about ST content

how about a squadrons revival?

Yeah, they should have been better. But I'd say it was an overcorrection related to the first nubattlefront, where by 6 months in, everyone was rocking the same build.

EA puts in so much effort to make the Star Wars games look good, sucks they cut support so quickly

Exactly, I still have to fucking grind to unlock everything, how is that "fixing" the game? I don't have to do this in Battlefield 1 after playing the game after 7 years

Flight sims are too big-brained for normies.
Also it's not really that fun anyway...

They should have delayed this and made it a full priced game with way more content. The controls are fucking great, but the multiplayer is just so repetitive. They should have worked out more scenerios/formations that just capital ships facing each other in a void.

The PVP was dead instantly upon release, and the needle didn't move at all when they dropped an update adding new ships. Just be happy the game existed at all.

I sort of want to go back to it, doesn't it have a bot mode iirc?

I don't think anything would have really helped, its not like people played the multiplayer for a bit and then left. It was DOA and it became impossible to find matches in a timely manner within a few days of launch.

I think so.

I liked the concept but

Ran like shit

Control support was shit

Story was shit

"muh husband" gay shit

Tranny alien (???)

Crashed a lot

EA

EA Origin needed

EA Origin support

Multiplayer oriented, while pretty good as a concept, unbalanced as fuck and abandoned a MONTH after release

I really really want something like that, but not that one at all

you just don't get it, unc. We're nostalgic for these games now!

Any multiplayer game in this day n age should be free im not paying for this shit.

They make it free every year for May the 4th, and it regularly goes on sale for a few bucks other times of the year at random.

People plunder PS2 era games now for content the same way AVGNtubers plundered 90s and 80s era games in the mid 2000s

Wtf is this? I played a lot of Battlefront 2 after they added the conquest like mode. Whatever it was called. But the game is mostly dead on xbox, so I couldnt find a lot of matches a couple of times I tried playing recently. The conquest like mode, the rest of the game were trash throwaway modes.

supremacy, dumb kaguya poster

utterly disgusting

EA's exclusivity deal is over so really any dev can make a Battlefront 3. The question is if there's any competent studio to make it

I still have some leftover p2w coins on my account. Can you do anything with them?

Its topping Xbox Live charts right now. Black and Co-op are also superior to GA or Supremacy.

Blast rather.

They should have made the game more like Rogue Squadron, in that you fly missions and depending on your performance in the mission, you get more upgrades and Gold Metals and shit. Whoever thought it was a good idea to make a flight game with a focus on multiplayer should be sterilized.

The only modes anyone plays are Supremacy, Heroes Vs VIllains, and Blast.

Its impossible to not find a co-op match

I tried this game and thought it was ass how you have to direct your shields.

Seeing as how the PS2/360 were the last good consoles, I'm not surprised. Better than being a sloptuber I suppose.

This was the only good mode in that game. Everybody told them that BF2 needed this, but those nigs at DICE didnt do it bc of muh BF games, but they finally eat shit, caved in and added Supremacy. Stupid mfers. They really think that a corridor escort the thing mode was going to replace conquest? Idiots. FU Dice, who won now?
Also, heroes vs villains is ok too.
Sure thing bud. All I know is that I couldnt get a single Supremacy game ruinning, and I waited on a lobby for 20 mins. Coop was ok too.

Its currently got more players than Overwatch on Xbox and is just a few places down from Oblivion Remastered.

The problem with Supremacy is that they stapled a fucking corridor shooter to it. The shipboard segments are actual fucking cancer.

Age of resistance servers are actually populated

I can spam the flametrooper like a piece of shit again

This will be fun for a few days

Origin

Oh it's gotten worse. Now EA has a new launcher, that's apparently worse than Origin!

Ran like shit

Really? I ran it fine with a 960

FO Jet Trooper is the best, Flametrooper is good too but I'd put Sith Trooper as my second pick.

The shipboard segments are actual fucking cancer.

My fondest memory of BF2 is playing supremacy as the CIS and defending the ship with my friends. We'd all go droideka and sit there camping the hallway mowing down clones. It was a lot of fun

Newfag Jet Trooper is the most blatantly overpowered non-hero class I have ever played in a video game.

Soon I will have a new launcher

The heros are too powerful on the actual gameplay they make the warfare worse. The heros should be powerful but not ruin the gameplay powerful. They should be able to decide some battle if they're used well, but otherwise aren't a ton more powerful than many other units. There should also be some way for heros to battle other heros exclusively for some purpose that will influence the outcome of the battle. Like something happens on a part of the map only heros can move, and the active heros can choose to contend for the objective or not. Or even better, have the way to play the objective a point based event so that players hold onto their battle points instead of immediately spending them on heros after saving them all game. Actually I would say heros shouldn't be able for selection until half the game is done, just to have some gameplay without them. Because people end up rushing for them and they're on the map changing the gameplay very quickly.

The tanks and vehicles in general are hilariously bad. Air combat is the shallowest thing ever. They're not much different than larger targets, slightly more hit points, and in the case of air combat moving through the air. Vehicles are supposed to have special properties on the gameplay. Like tanks are immune to small arms fire for instance. Why would you drive around in a tank if someone can just walk up to the side and mag dump the tires to kill you? That is retarded. There is no point in having the fast moving vehicles like speeders and walkers in the game because the maps are way too small to take advantage of their mobility.

Imma get on and see if I can find a game. I'll post again with results.
Thats bc the maps were mostly taken from the Corridor Assault maps, and ever so slightly changed to be workable in Supremacy. Bc those retards didnt want conquest on SWBF2. They were pressured into it bc the game was a massive let down after launch. But Supremacy is the way to go. The ship segments were peak, really strong Metro vibes. But, if the matched dragged on with mutiple ship assaults, then yeah, that could be cancer. If those idiots release SWBF3 and it didnt have conquest, then its over. Like if it has extraction or BR, crap, its over.

The battle point system isn't so good for gameplay. What ends up happening is people will spend their points only on things they want to play, and then also play the game in a way so that they always have enough points to play that class the entire game. Which warps the gameplay a lot towards gameplay centered around both scoring battle points as well as not using the units in a way they are most effective but used instead in a way to keep the player from spending battle points. Tying battle points to kills also makes the gameplay worse. Many players run around the map frantically and recklessly trying to score points as quickly as they can so they can use their favorite unit. The battle points should instead be more heavily tied to things that improve the gameplay such as capturing points, using utility abilities, etc.

I love it for raining death down upon the gaylord Resistance in co-op matches.

Oh yes, I bought it on release (silly me)
It crashed a lot, and i had a 1060 back then. It was a garbage optimization, sometimes didn't even load to the main menu. MP was alive for about 2 weeks and then died. Had the B Wing as a DLC, and nobody cared.

It was stupid for them to shout in a memo after the game launch that they would NOT support it after. Absolutely stupid on their part. Like saying "yeah we made it with love sure, but what you see is what you get" while talking about a mainly MP game.

capturing points, using utility abilities
You do get battlepoints for both of those things

The amount of people enraged they cant 1v1 Darth Vader or Luke as a random ass trooper is hilarious. YES the heroes should be that powerful if they focus on your retarded ass standing in the open shooting a peashooter at them.

I worded that post not so well. But I didn't say capturing and utilities don't award battlepoints.

Playing as lightsaber heroes isn't even braindead, if you don't know what you are doing you'll get deleted in a few seconds.

I just don't want them in the game. It's that simple.

none of this was an actual problem in any battlefield game

Like hell it wasn't. It was constant that upwards of one third of the team camped the tarmac waiting for their "turn" to fly anything from 1942's planes to BF3's jets and choppers.
It was really egregious on maps like Operation Clean Sweep and anything with aircraft carriers that had bodies of water, because not only would a significant number of them camp the plane spawns, they refused to cross the water in boats. The win ratio was massively skewed on such maps because of the mere presence of aircraft spawns. Aircraft, like snipers, are a cancer to the BF series.

Changing it so that you spawned inside of vehicles, spawning the vehicle itself (and even only getting the chance if you earned it) is a vastly superior system and it cut down the issue significantly.

fall for the hype

get the game

get on

get shit on by some fucking luke with 200000 hours in the game

put sbmm in it then we'lll talk

I was able to get on two matches of Supremacy. Im surprised, but neat.

You got it boss!

For the love of god, just let the Battlefront ip die. I can't stand watching it get raped over and over again.

well also Christopher Lee had been dead for several years

heroes are less of a issue when you realize you can literally farm them until they ragequit if you use a tie fighter/etc or a tank or walkers because they will be running around in the open farming retards like you who run into them expecting to win a 1v1 and panic when they start getting burst down by a ATST

real niggas are going back never left to Empire At War

Friendly reminder that the actual PC playercount is probably 50% higher than that of the Steam one. It was given out for free on Epic at some point.

Not to mention people who just own it through EA before it got released on Steam.

20k on steam this weekend

It's also free on goypass.

The only one that's good is the actual battlefront II, the one from the 2005.

pwned

meh

get rid of the stupid points system
make shooting feel less floaty

Is Extraction its own thing again? No? Then they can fuck off.

Reminder SW BF1 looked better than BF2

Here's something that'll make Anon Babble seethe. Battlefront 3 is bigger than Half Life 3. We went through 2 entire generation spanding eras without ever getting a Battlefront 3. Handheld games don't count and never did. We could've had the perfect Battlefront twice, but we didn't get shit. And we still aren't gonna get shit, but Battlefront which released on all platforms, both eras, will always have more importance than some Half Life sequel only a 100th of the fans that Battlefront made over the decades, give a shit about.

Playing the fortnite SW season really made me feel like playing Battlefront again, i guess it wasn't just me

I just want literally bf3/4 but with a star wars skin and sounds

Is that too much to ask for?

This ad campaign for a dead game seems extremely weird.

Disney is desperate to get people to watch their shitty Disney+ show Andor and play their Fortnite event. EA must be testing the waters for Battlefront 3 too.

Apparently it is. It's been 20 years since the original battlefront 2 and still no 3rd game insight. EA wasted all this time with games no one asked for and now Dice is all but a shadow of itself.

Do you really want another battlefront game from these devs, anon?

It isn't it has a stupid unlock system for vehicles and special troops

peak bf2 can only get 12k

meanwhile hl2 got 64k at it's peak

You can tell this poster is a nubattlefront zoomie, nobody else is this delusional
cope all you want but average Joe will care more about Half Life 3 than some niche battlefield clone
Hell, more people will care about Unleashed 3 or Kotor 3 because they were actually fun and memorable games

What is even the point of Battlefront 3? What could they add? Star Wars has barely done anything new since 2017, just retreads of existing material. Mandalorian is not enough to warrant a sequel game, might as well just make him a DLC character or something.

the Old Republic

They would give you the High Republic, and I promise you don't want it. It is cringe beyond belief. Anon is right, there is nothing for them to add that was not already in Battlefront 1 and 2

calls me a zoomie while thinking steam has the most numbers for EAfront2

I reinstalled it. Wat nou?

uninstall

No
Fuck EA and the historical revisionists who now claim this game is "good" somehow

quick play and feed me points

There's no point even coming back to this or the first one, both are utterly infested with cheaters. Impossible to find a match that doesn't have multiple faggots who have invincibility and aim hacks turned on.

EAFRONT 2 is such an annoying game. The TKA is super high, people spaz and run so fast that its annoying to kill a battle droid and guns dont pack an oomf to make it feel good.

Star cards make certain players op as shit

The lore breaking stuff gets to you, like seeing rey fighting battle droids is fucking stupid. They know their fan base is autistic nerds, why not limit that shit to be more lore friendly

Not enough players a match. game needs like double to players and npc bots to really make it feel crazy

The worst aspect of the game though is the COMPLETE LACK OF COMMUNICATION. No proximity chat/voice chat kills any extra fun this game could use.

I'd rather play the "classic collection" that ASSpyr pumped out recently

it was always good though, only thing I was annoyed with was you couldn't change the sensitivity on some of the guns used my special troops (it was insanely high scoped in) and cheaters

I absolutely fucking despise the gunplay and TTK in this as well. It's awful, it feels like complete shit to play. The first was a lot better in that regard.

Hitler dood

Am I crazy for thinking the maps in EA BF1 looked better and prettier than EA BF2?

it was always good though

no it fucking wasn't
the story was dogshit
the multiplayer was a downgrade compared to the classics
even without the whole lootboxes drama that happened, the game is all style and no substance
no matter how good it looks, it plays worse than the classic games

No. It's because they did. BF1 had better graphics.

unironically EA front 1 is better than 2 simply because the gameplay is better. The downside is that stupid pick up system and lack of prquel stuff

thinking EA desktop launcher has more numbers than hl2 peak on Steam, about 50k more active players

lmao, just like I said, delusional

I thought I was alone in thinking that Battlefront 1 had better core gameplay but many in this thread agree. I really had fun with that game, but it had no reason to exist. Why didn't they just use that game as the basis for all the stuff we got in Battlefront 2? There wasn't enough content to warrant most people buying it but if you did then honestly the gun play and maps were excellent

you haven't been talking to the cops have ye mate?

It never got good.

The gameplay still holds up super well and honestly, for a 10 year old game, it might genuinely still be the peak of graphics. Nothing I can think of has surpassed it besides *maybe* that Indiana Jones game last year. It also had a way better selection of guns than 2 and a lot of really fun and underrated modes like hero hunt, cargo, and sabotage. Shame it's very hard to find anyone to play with now though, except the occasional half full match with blatant cheaters in it.

It's the shooting. You can't have bad gunplay in a game like this and EA's BF2 has legitimately horrible gunplay.

Anon Babble fags are turbo shitters who suck balls and want sbmm

at same time making fun of le slop and how everything is casualized

lol

I still don't understand how and why they fucked it up so bad. The first one had great gunplay, as did Battlefield V. It never made sense why they missed the mark so much.

Ugh, the most blatant marketing campaign. OH GEE WIZ, I CAN'T WAIT TO LOG IN AND BE CURB STOMPED BY THE AUTISTIC MAXED OUT NO LIFES WHO HAVEN'T STOPPED PLAYING SINCE RELEASE. I'm good.

Also it just makes more sense for aircraft to not be flying out of airbases less than a kilometre apart.

Yeah, the graphics had more fidelity. Not sure what it is specifically. Maybe it's the photogrammetry holding up better, because the locations in SWBF1 are more nature-based than many of the ones in 2, so they can use actual real world textures and lighting more?

FINE if you're going to make it an official thing then I'll join in. It wasn't cool until the corporations got involved

It occurs to me this shit is most likely being spammed by the people using cheats. Every single match is riddled with shitskins going 100+ and 0, and the fun days of this game are long past. Only those pieces of shit really have anything to gain by this game having players again.

tried it out last year for free on goypass from njudea gift

not bad had some fun with friend but its also frustrating because niggers can just out-DMG you because they are higher level and better cards

trash design, it should have never been called Battlefront, the OG games didn't had goofy nigger ass cards with cheats

Are you dumb? They can refine the gameplay and actually make THE Battlefront experience.
And Hell, give us what was promised for the old Battlefront 3, space-land battles.

More people in matches.

Sequel trilogy was a failure and even Disney knows that, so cut that shit out.

Tons of Locations we haven't seen since the OG games.

Cut the cards garbage.

Give us better Clones (toggle option between Baker's voice and Morrison's)

option to remove TCW AIDS from CIS troops

Bring back Hunt mode with Alien races (and Clans such as Pirates and Mandalorians)

Multiplayer Galactic Conquest

Improved Galactic Conquest (add more strategic variables to it)

Improved Campaign

Maybe multiple Campaigns

Hell if they want easy hype just make "WHAT IF" campaigns

And if they wanted an even easier hype just make a LEGENDS campaign and adapt some story from LEGENDS

Very organic

What does EA have to gain from doing a marketing campaign on a dead game they themselves killed by gutting the dev team to try and fix battleshart 2047 and is free with no microtransactions?

god i wish we got BF3 with those space-land battles but i am afraid we'll either never get it or it will end up being utter trash

It builds hype and artificially creates a desire for Battlefront 3. Depending on how receptive gamers are to this, they'll use the numbers to float the idea and then have something to present to investors.

fuck you scariff is kino
