**** Star Wars: Battlefront ****

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a card/special perk or whatever they are called for an aimbot! Maybe the next DLC pack will have that
I think there is a card which makes you more accurate for a set time
Stop taking it so seriously Nexus, it's not BF!
Cant bring myself to buy this. How much it costs against how little depth the game has, depth which they have left to be filled with over priced map packs.
The game looks amazing and has sounds that really are second to none. But I can't see myself putting enough time into it to warrent a purchase.

Okay, so I was definitely in the anti-EA camp due to their DLC pricing scheme but I found a deal for the Standard Edition on Kinguin for £30 and I must say it's a great game for that price.
If you want to enjoy the game for what it is then you need to stop scrutinizing it with the Battlefield lens. It's Star Wars. STAR WARS: Battlefront, a game designed to be accessible for people of all ages and genders and I think they did a relatively good job at welcome a wider range of players who are fans of the franchise.
I am able to run it 1080p on Ultra with my GTX 970 and I've not seen it drop below 60fps. It usually hovers around 90 for me. The graphics are beautiful and the soundtrack is amazing. Lots of effort has been put into detailing the environment and I think that's where most of their efforts went into.
Yes, it has pretty shallow gameplay but for someone like myself who do not have big chunks of free time for gaming being able to jump into a match for 15 minutes is welcomed experience.

I just can't help it, I was so looking forward to this but they have dumbed it down far too much and as a result a lot of the stuff they have implemented ruins the game completely imo. The wall hack is the biggest **** take, what's the point of shooter games if you have a system that highlights everyone for you, it removes all tactics, map knowledge etc. out of the game and tbh even makes the good map design rather worthless too. Could you imagine what BF 3/4 would be like if it was present....
In all honesty, they might as well add a perk that does the aiming for you.
A lot of people say that its star wars and it's not suppose to be BF etc. but DICE/EA only have to make a few simple changes and it would still be very different to BF, COD etc. but have more longevity as well as being better for gameplay imo i.e.
- add some recoil, spread to the weapons, again, it doesn't have to be CS:GO, BF 3/4 levels of recoil/spread
- either remove 3rd or 1st person view, anyone using 1st person view is just putting themselves at a huge disadvantage
- keep heroes to their own game mode
- remove the special perks for the handicapped players i.e. that wall hack
- slower reload time for grenades and the other cards
- reduce the damage spread for the ATAT's and slower reload time for their special ability
- remove the stabilisers for the aircraft/ground vehicles i.e. the auto lock on and arcadey floaty feel of them, they don't have to be like BF 3/4 aircraft where it takes a lot of time to master them i.e. 313 speed, target lead etc. etc.
- implement a better squad system, no reason why they couldn't have just used BF's system for this
I can appreciate people that don't want a reskin of BF 4 or the next CS:GO in terms of having some skill ceiling but the changes above wouldn't make it a hard game to get to grips with.... If people "need" a built in wall hack to do well then I don't think shooter games is their type of game.
I haven't been this annoyed/disappointed in a game since alien colonial marines
Personally I'd have been happy with a re-skinned updated engine BF, but it's not the BF vets this game is aimed at.
There are more and more people taking up gaming on PCs, consoles and tablets, and the publishers want a range of titles to suit different tastes and abilities. If SWBF was a real BF game set in the star wars universe, loads of people new to gaming probably wouldn't look at it. Add to that, the loss of sales of BF5 as we would all be playing SWBF instead.
Remember Star wars is now a Disney franchise, they will have stipulated as part of the licence that the game should be a gore free game which could be sold to a younger audience who may not have the attention span of a seasoned gamer.
Having said that, if BF5 is similarly dumbed down, then my toys will be exiting my pram at high velocity!

These features would eliminate all the casual players that the franchise would otherwise attract. As much as I agree with your view on what should be included to make it a more tactical game there is way too much money to be made from a "Star Wars" game especially with a movie coming out and the fact that Disney now owns the franchise.
They are definitely trying to make the game more appealing to the masses.

Dice to EA Execs and Senior DICE Management - We're fighting a losing battle we cannot defeat cheaters, Fairfight is useless. How about we make wall hacks an in game feature and call it Scan Pulse?
EA Execs and DICE Management - *Throw nails in the air* That is a wonderful idea. Maybe we can add that as a Battlepack unlock as we love microtransactions.
DICE - The Force is strong in you, we shall get working on it right away.

DICE choose the console design.
Makes more money, shorter time to product.
they show any pc gamer the finger since Bc2, bf3, bf4 and battlefront and soon BF5.
why would they even care about the gamers fun?
they make a ton of money making crappy designs and why let them do that if you buy things from them??????????????????????????????
Patrick bach laughs when he comes home drinking wine knowing he screwed you over again.
BC 2 was very successful and without a doubt the most fun compared to bf 3 and 4. Far better than BF 2 imo anyway, BF 2 back in the day was superb but looking back on it now, it was awful tbph, dolphin diving, the aircraft bombs etc.
I didn't want a reskin of BF 4 but after seeing how this has gone, I personally would have much preferred for that to have be done now!
Yup no doubt Disney will have had a big say on how this game should play etc. although I feel that with the game being so similar to titan fall, it was more EA.
I am worried about BF 5 now, excited to see the graphics etc. but I have a feeling that the game is going to be dumbed down especially if SWBF sells extremely well.... Unfortunately these days, most people just want a quick and easy to play FPS shooter and the annoying thing is we already have plenty of these i.e. COD, titan fall, hardline, TF 2, dirty bomb & the upcoming overwatch game
I don't know tbh... as the stuff I listed doesn't seem that extreme imo and I think that the casuals would still like/enjoy it.
At the end of the day, I think the game would still sell extremely well no matter what the gameplay was like all because of "star wars".
And on that note, EA are expecting to sell 13 million copies by March 2016.

It's fun, that's all you need to know Nexus, so just buy it!
What peeved me about this is 3rd person, Is there a hardcore mode to stop it? Basically some tool is running about on Youtube saying there is no recoil or flinching and the like. Yet it looks stupid from a POV and animations perspective. How would i be able to enjoy the game in first person? Or would i have to bite my nails and just put up with these scoreboard at all costs idiots? I believe a shooter should always be in firstperson and if the fov is a problem buy Ultrawide for god sake.

Why are people who use 3rd 'scoreboard idiots'? That's just a stupid generalisation, I know a couple of people including myself who use 3rd but aren't bothered about being top as long as we win the round. If you don't like using it and consider it unfair, fair enough, but don't be a bell sniff about it.
Just suck it up and use 3rd person view or enjoy the game for what it is and use what you prefer....
But yes, like I said, they should have only had one mode, either 3rd person or 1st person view, I rather have 1st person view but not overly bothered about it in this particular game tbh.
Please tell that you haven't gone and bought it..... No will power!!!!
It certainly looks "fun" but once I start getting killed by people all because they had a built in wall hack activated then that is where the fun ends for me
In all honesty, I probably would have bought it but that special perk and the heroes just completely ruins it for me.

I have indeed blame Tony! The EA Marketing Sheep
It is great fun, I can see what you mean but you really don't notice, it's that fast paced, unless you get killed by an AT-ST/AT-AT/Hero/Villain, you won't know you've been by a wall hack thing.
Having the Heroes and Villains in adds to it for me, because it makes it harder, it requires you to back off and think about your next move rather than just run in, full pelt and mow down everything in your path like you used to on BF4

I would be constantly annoyed Nexus because 3rd means you can lean the view to see around a corner or over a rock no? Even in 1st i bet people have binds to swap between both in such a case. Maybe i am wrong but all my years of gaming tells me this is exactly how these things work out.
Totalwar dev cam being a prime example of a game ruined simply for an advantage. How can you compete with someone who has no recoil or flinch?

I'm not seeing playing in firstperson mode as a disadvantage so far - there is the odd person obviously using hacks but that is another story.
The game has "hidden" effects of recoil/spread anyhow - if you burst fire you'll still do better usually even though it looks like your rounds are still on target.
