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

OK it's probably because I old and carp at FPS but every else seems to be able to kill me with 1 or 2 shots where I have to unload a weapon until it overheats to kill an opponent, what am I doing wrong ;)
 
Didn't put much time into 2142 but was it like SWBF wallhack?

But yes all other battlefield games have had "gadgets" that highlight enemy players for you i.e. TUGS, MAVS, motion balls, however, only on the mini map, not like this....

Even the 3d spotting isn't anywhere as bad as that although the 3d spotting in bc 2 ruined the game for me so much that I had to play hardcore mode....

Too many times in bf 4/3, I and others from here have been accused of cheating etc. as you get people posting in chat something like "yeah nice wallhack" or "how the **** did you know I was there" etc. etc. and this just shows that some players can't be bothered to learn even the basics, it doesn't take 1 second to glance at your mini map (heck you could even make it bigger so it will always be at the corner of your eye) but most players just want to have their hand held when playing games these days, that's why features like this and the auto lock on pistol in titan fall are added, I imagine it is more the console players who want this than PC players though....

There is no doubt the game has been made to cater for all types of people i.e. don't worry, if you can't:

- fly AND aim the aircraft weapons at the same time, we have built in an auto aim/lock on for you
- see people, use the built in wall hack, which highlights all players for you
- aim, we have aim assist
- get kills with normal guns/infantry, we have added heroes for you who have auto lock on rockets, lightsabers and take more damage

etc.

I get why they have made the game the way it is but with the "star wars" name, epic trailers, and super graphics + sound, I'm sure that they could have got just as many sales with a reskinned BF 4.

Being a big BF fan, I wasn't wanting a reskin of BF. The quick changes I suggested previously would keep it feeling very similar to how it currently is but improve the game flow/play considerably imo. The one thing I love about this game is the lack of prone, I hate that in BF 3 & 4 and it certainly would be out of place in SWBF, at least with the way the game has been designed anyway.



Here's hoping DICE LA can work some magic and fix/improve it rroff.....

Last night I was doing fine - killing people quickly - had a 2:1 KDR or better every game... (think I had most kills in 2/3rds of the games) today people are killing me before they appear (not cheating) or with what appears to be 1-2 shots (not headshots) while I'm unloading my weapon on them struggling to land hits even though there is no way I'm missing and struggling to maintain a 1:1 KDR playing at my best... frustrating as ****.

To be fair Dice LA put a ton of effort into BF4 - I don't agree with all the changes but the state of the game in the first few weeks after release to where it is now is huge - could literally kill myself tripping over a paving slab more than once a round when the game was released - the last few months I don't think I've even seen a random KIA or crash.

I dunno why Dice Stockholm even exists - sure they make very nice looking games but the gameplay is **** so many pointless upgrades/nothing that inspires you to work towards it, lots of them trying to get you to chase your own tail to get pointless rewards... and sadly a lot of casual players will lap it up - same with BF4 so much cosmetic crud that has the same stats its silly, battlepacks spammed at you instead of being something of an achievement and so on.

my mate come home hammered last night and bought it for my PC as he wanted to see the nice gfxs lol..

so ill be playing it later.. dont judge me!
 
I have to say I'm quite enjoying it even though I'm rubbish ;)

Not saying it the "greatest game in the world" but for a quick "shoot stuff in the face" kinda game it not too bad. I have little to no time to invest playing games any more so it's quite nice to find a game you can just jump into.

GFX + sound are pretty top notch. This game will be in it for the long haul as their is no way the Disney will let this game die, we're going to see loads of DLC for this game and it will run and run.

A bit of spawn area tweaking would be nice. So far Im finding walker assault the best, it has the best flow and feels more fluid and isnt subject to some of the spawning issues the other game mods are (except on sullust)

Lack of a server browser is still annoying me, I know if i could pick a server with a solid UK ping i could at least do a little bit better. (I mostly suck lol, but i PTFO)
 
The old my mate brought it excuse :D

thing is its true... he has ps4 and when he see's me gaming he cant get over the gfx difference.. i told him about starwars looking mean on the PC and he bought it..

i dont care free game in my origin library lol :D
 
PC player here, never bought a console or played much on them. Does this really look so much better on the PC? Watched a guy who as so surprised that after playing on a friends console he was blown away at the difference on his decent PC rig.

Honestly apart from a few effects and resolution differences there is nothing between the two. This was based on watching PS4 footage and comparing it to Ultra PC gameplay.
