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

Finding it harder to get into a game, the game goes down to looking for games 10% full before finding a server with 4 or 5 people waiting a game.

Do you have the Jakku expansion? If so, deselect that and "Turnaround" will now not be a selectable game mode and you should get a game quickly with other modes. Seems only Turnaround that is populated otherwise.

When I played and enjoyed FPS the most was probably between project PR mod for BF2 and BF1942, God we used to have rounds lasting over an hour and it felt massive. It's like players cant spawn any place other than fifteen seconds from action today. I used to value my life in 1942 as it took a wee while to get back into the fight and the game was better for it. Suspense was built up travelling and got even more exciting if you were notice on the ground by enemy air. If gave air support a reason to be there. Who did not like getting attacked while driving full pace in the jeep to make it.

It just was not this Spawn, instant kill, a few more kills, short run again and kill a few then death in a minute flat to do it all over again next spawn. In BF1942 we used to have tactical Tank battles that makes SWBF look like a tea party for little girls. It’s as if the meat is missing will you ever sit back and think “Wow” over the sound and visual.

Capture the Flag in this was just Epic.

Sadly the true PC Battlefield died after 2. Will never be the same again. :(

This game made me go back and replay Jedi Knight 2 for some reason :D

Damn, Star Wars games used to be good back in the day. Try it with the "hardcore mode" mod someone made for it quite recently (since they released the source code), which makes it like the movies where blasters can 1-2 shot people (including you). It adds a whole new level of intensity to single player.

Download Moviebattles 2 its hilarious at times and a damn good game. I wished we saw a Jedi Knight 3 but sadly it will never happen now with the death of Lucas Arts.

It was never going to be anything other than a casual fps. If it was BF4 with a Star Wars skin it wouldn't appeal to kids.

Thing is we all wanted it to be BF4 with a Star Wars skin. Hopefully they might see the light & release it as DLC for BF4.

The problem EA have is Battlefront in its current form is a spam-fest most of the time, so kids will struggle at it anyway.

How on earth their testers didn't think the constant explosive spam wouldn't become a problem doesn't really say much for their own, or EA's, idea of what enjoyable, non-blood boiling, gameplay is.
 
£80 for such limited content. Even if it was reduced to £20 for all content you still have the 30 days notice server takedown in a few years to look forward to then it becomes worthless & unplayable.

EA should:

1: Make a lengthy SP DLC campaign for free to all owners!
2: Allow SP to work offline so server takedowns in future do not effect your ability to play the content you bought.
3: Allow fully customisable P2P hosts/servers.

Then & only then will it sell strongly still nowhere near 13m though that's a fantasy figure.
 
As each day passes, more games are turning into a 1-hit-killfest thanks to people unlocking Homing Shot, Pulse Rifle, Cycler Rifle & Bowcaster.

Nerfing Barrage & the DL-44 in the last patch made a difference for about 24hrs.

I'd say now the spam is even worse & it will only increase as more people level up & want 1-hit klills.

I hate to think what they'll add next...
 
It's a shame really.. I really want to like this game but can't stomach the lack of content the game on release, combined with the price

The game reminds me of Battlefield 1943 (on the xbox 360) in terms of pick up & playablilty, limited maps etc.. & really ought to have a similar price tag (at most £20)
 
I may still get this but looking at the comments it looks like a lot of people are getting frustrated with lack of depth and spam.

well it's exciting for the first week and then you realize it's a mindless game that does not encourage any kind of tactical or team play...

Sad thing is everything is there that is needed to adapt it into an epic game but it won't happen :(

Indeed, played the final release for an hour then realised it was as broken as the beta.

Worst hooky £30 I've ever spent, even got more enjoyment from DayZ SA and thats saying something.

This defines 'regrettable purchase'
