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

Really disappointed at the lack of maps, I've got about 10 hours of gameplay and I feel I know every map inside out.
The more you unlock the cheesier the game becomes, all this lock on crap. Endor is a nice looking map but its just a total cluster**** especially if you're in an atst. Against a team with 2 functioning braincells a walker is lucky lasting 30 seconds on that map, just rockets and torpedos locking on from everywhere. Infantry combat is literally use a blaster pistol and fire while moving slightly left and right and that's your lot.
You aren't wrong about that - seriously annoys me how badly thought out the upgrades and unlocks, etc. are - it could have been such a better game.
We've still to go through the patented dice procedure though, gather feedback and massively nerf the most complained about weapons til they're totally useless before a few patches down the line the ultimately put them back to what they were. The game was literally tossed together to cash in on the movie hype, really not much more than that and it shows with the amount of thought put into weapons mechanics.

I think this has summed up my disappointment with the game tbh.
In the end I just get owned because someone else has played for 10 hours more than me and has a magical lock on blaster.
I did exactly the same when I unlocked the pulser sniper rifle or whatever it is. Soon as I'm bogged down I just snipe because I cant move, removes the need to push to cap and gets me points so I can get my own lock on thingy.
The pulse sniper bugged the crap out of me, it always seemed to fire to the left of the crosshair for some reason, ended up i had to offcenter the crosshair to get kills with it.
It also suffers from battlefield syndrome, ie: incredibly stacked teams. When you have 3 or 4 players on the other team up in the high double digits with a hand full of deaths it just ends up in your team being steam rolled for the most part.
Stupid netcode... just alt+F4'd after getting the jump on someone - getting 4-5 shots off before they even reacted - they jump packed over me and I managed to perfectly track them through the air landing shots - having got enough indicated hits to have killed them 3 times over I'm greeted by them running at me on landing and killing me with the shotgun equivalent... absolute shower of ****.
My feelings on the game at the moment.
Its addictive and fun and im loving it a lot. The maps are beautiful but there needs to be more.
It can get very rage inducing at times though when every 2 seconds you see MISSILE INCOMING. Those god damn homing missiles and sniper rifles from across the map and the grenade spam. Sometimes you just spawn die spawn die spawn die. I played a game earlier and it felt like every few seconds i was getting locked on with a homing missile lol.
Sometimes it makes you want to smash your keyboard but maybe thats just me lol.
The AT-ST's are rubbish on the walker assault maps now. I feel now that everyone has a lot of the powerups they get taken down in seconds. They surely need a buff.
The hitbox seems weird sometimes. I feel like im firing everything into a guy right infront of me and he hits me with one shot and i die.
After rank 25 it feels like theres not much to unlock untill around 40....so it feels a little empty after that. I feel that they should have spaced things out better.
Everything else im loving though and find myself coming back for more.

Thats not the hitbox thats latency.
the way they made the engine with bc2, bf3, bf4 and now battlefront makes you not be able to make a hit due to the bubble effect.
once your ping is within the tolerance the engine can track and you hit good,
issue with BF4 is I cant hit much in any game, once I found a server that actually made me hit none could actually hit me much.
while I dominate even with whatever latency there is, the difference is huge as I could easily have twice the kills than anyone else when that was going on.
In the beta of battlefront I saw the same latency crap happening but now you cant find a good server and needs to change the game until you can find a server that makes you to actually be able to hit.
I play inf normally.
I was getting a lot of latency warnings in game last night, and the hit reg did seem to vary considerably.
Lack of server browser/choice is definitely an big issue. Also the number of empty servers it put us in was irritating.

I get this most of the time, it's getting really frustrating and spoiling my enjoyment of the game
Somebody is running towards me, I fire into them as they come towards me until my weapon overheats, they pop me off with one shot!

Welcome to Dice network coding.
I think its time the guy put up or shut up with the mod. I've been reading his Facebook page and he did the mod for GTAV too with screenshots but there are a few comments that no one ever actually saw the mod themselves.
