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

I just saw an at-at go down, but only 1.

It's hard enough as rebels on that map, but with the stormtroopers blending in with the environment so well, it's hard to spot them unless they're gunning.
 
Biggest problem for me is the 20 v 20 "epic" games. I jsut came out of a 100 vs 100 fight on Planetside 2 and it looked just unbelievable from the air seeing columns of tanks shelling it out while 20- 30 infantry pushed over a bridge.

The sound in Battlefront is immense but I just can't get behind 20 vs 20, sick of this **** going back in time, should have toned down the useless graphics and given 64 vs 64 with better map design, but we can't have that because of consoles.
 
Well I was really looking forward to it until I tried to play and on the load screen it locks up and the music cuts out with a message saying session timed out ! I'm guessing the servers are overloaded.
 
That was one of the biggest complaints in the alpha, the imperial side being OP and winning 95% of the time and shocker....... they didn't do a single thing to fix this just like all the other complaints by the majority of people who got played the alpha.

To be fair you don't need huge numbers to have great games. Take Tribes Ascend for instance, the game is great fun 7 v 7 comp and has one of the highest skill ceilings I've ever seen in an FPS.

@ Nex, seems like they didn't change a god damm thing based on our feedback from the alpha - idiots.
 
Thing is which shouldnt have expected any different. This game is geared to cash in on the Star Wars franchise. Of course it's going to be dumbed down to attract the broadest player base. More players = more money. And this is Star Wars. HUGE PROFIT potential.

It is possible to win but the partner system is rubbish and needs squads like in Battlefield to stand a chance being an effective team.

Yup exactly.

They have catered this game towards the COD console crowd, no doubt they will get a ton of money for it too :(

Just have to watch jackfrags video "the big secret", says it all lol...

Yup, pretty ****ed about it tbh, the game had so much potential and I really wanted it to be good. It reminds me of alien colonial marines, so much hype, epic trailers etc. etc. and then the final game urgh......... I really wish they just did a complete reskin of bf 4 now.

I put money on it that after 2/3 months, the popular BF/DICE youtubers will be back to primarily BF 4 videos until the first DLC pack comes out and then once they get that sponsored video out of the way, they will be back to doing the BF 4 videos again, rinse and repeat, exactly like what has happened with hardline.

I give it 5 or so months until lvlcap does a video on "Why battlefront failed" listing all the reasons that we brought up for the alpha/beta.

Yeah it is definitely possible but not an easy task at all, the imperial side is just so much better and any semi-competent vehicle user for the AT-AT, tie fighter can demolish the rebels with ease by themselves.

As you said, you need a good squad or/and hope that the imperial side are completely and utterly awful at the game.

This should've been a DLC for BF4 priced at £20! Played it, but the more I play it, the more I see the games flaws. One of them being a very limited play area with everything squashed in.

What ever happened to the days of BF2 - Desert Combat :(
 
Imperials always win because none of the Rebels (well, most of them anyway) don't seem to grasp that if you don't 'cap' the uplinks then the AT-AT's cannot be stopped.

Not really sure what to think. Hoth is pretty boring, far too open for having an indestructible walking machine of Laser Death that was making kills across the map. Honestly the guy was 52-3 and I saw the same person as Darth Vader 3 times in one round. I was killed by Vader's lightsaber from about 30 feet away and if you try to shoot him he just sings his lightsaber and deflects them right back at you. Completely OP. Can't see me picking this up as it's a shame it's so, so shallow. If this is an example of what BF5 will be like then I weep for the future of Battlefield.

Problem is even though you guys were probably completely right in your opinion all it takes is the other 95% going LOOKS ALRITE TO ME and nothing gets changed :rolleyes:

I have 'enjoyed' the beta, its nice to play something other than super megadeth jam on screen look at my sniper rifle 4 hardline or whatever it is this week, but its undoubtably flawed.

Won't be preordering but will definitely pick it up if the other game modes turn out to be decent
