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

If you want to troll hard on dropzone you can buy loads of personal shields for 500 credits for 10 > activate it > run at enemies and melee the **** out of people. The saltyness was almost worth playing the "beta" yesterday.


edit... Also, as rebels on Hoth my friends and I could win every time due to the snowspeeder TOW mechanic, kinda silly really. Also managed 72-3 yesterday just in the DF-9 as Empire. Get behind the Rebels spawns > camp DF-9 = profit.

Apart from the snow speed I did all that. OOB zones should work at the opposite side of the map to prevent spawn raping using the DF-9. Oh well doesn't stop me from doing it until DICE stop it 12 months after release :D

Cancelled my pre order - looked spectacular but way to shallow run and gun twitch gameplay for me to pay full price. Might get it on sale later, shame really looked awesome but after half an hour I was just bored.

Sounds like I'm one of the very few actually enjoying this game? :eek:

I'm enjoying it and I went into it expecting it to be pap. It is all I have played for the last day or so. But as I said before I'm not planning on buying it, these kinds of game don't hold my interest for long. Perhaps I will even be bored of it by the end of the beta.
 
With such high expectations, developers shouldn't even bother making games. The players can use their 1337 skills to come up with a new ground breaking game.

"Cult of the wind" is one of my favs or "wander" watch those if you fancy a laugh. Batman is good aswell!
 
Trying to take down them AT-AT's is near impossible. In the games I've played, it's never been achieved. We just don't have good enough firepower to really damage the things in such a short time.

The Cycler Riffle either needs to do less damage, or make the cool down longer. Been using this weapon and getting kills is stupidly easy.

Wha wha what!?!

I did not know this, now I'm unhappy :(
Was looking forward to some Star Wars story. Have DICE missed a massive trick here???

Its not entirely true you can play Single Player Battles which will be similiar to MP I think and I am hoping it harks back to Battlefield 2 type play I am happy.
No Single Player campaign news is ages old months ago DICE were saying its not going to be included it was in a couple of the mags.
This it what turned me off it until I played the BETA and it looks like we are getting some BOT action.

Iv been in games a few times where weve taken down the AT-AT's. When the rebel team actually cared about winning and not just playing a deathmatch game trying to top the scoreboard. We just concentrated as much fire on them as we could when we had the chance and they went down.
 
I've played a dozen HOTH matches this evening, and out of all of them the Rebels were only able to manage a win once. The field power-ups just appear to favour the Imperials too heavily at the moment.

Like another poster earlier, 29/4 on Imperial and 4/15 on Rebels
 
I can understand how you can get bored of it I mean theres only 2 maps....and 2 game modes in this beta so theres not much to do. I think any MP game would be boring when you do the same 2 maps over and over.

Unless they nerf it, once people acquire orbital strike and save it for each section the AT-ATs are invulnerable, you may be able to get it first time out of 3.

Even if you die, you can still save it like most abilities except heroes and vehicles. It takes 4 people to do this so they'll probably fix this.
 
I’ve been out of games for years but got excited by the looks and sounds as they do hit the nail right on the head. But after watching on twitch I’m right in thinking its only third person and the game aims for you? I mean you can select what to fire at but it covers the rest.

So its not like say Arma that requires skill to hit and that disappointing. If it was more hard core with larger maps it could be a real stand out and game changer if you mind the pun. It looks simply stunning but let down by arcade ease to play. Maybe it suits console players better. Also seen no communication between players past guys using external coms and playing on the same server.

I've played up to Battlefield 2 but never battlefront so I don’t know if that simplified play is the usual. If it had been that way for BF2 I’d not have enjoyed it for the years I did.

You can play it in first person and aim for yourself as well.

Really? So there will be forced first person servers when this comes out? If so that’s just made this game so much more attractive. I’ve not seen one play first person yet in the Beta. But then if third and aim assist is the server norm playing FP and your going to be next to useless playing FP assist off when everyone and their gran is gunning assist on and third.

But just knowing its there has cheered me up. :)

I won 3 games now as rebels and lost a few as imperial. Really takes the whole team to hammer the AT-AT's when you get the chance. I mean shoot it with anything! airstrike/rocket or mounted guns preferably but literally anything.

Once people get up to speed they will hold on to airstrike/rockets for the window and they come down pretty easy in the end. Just need people to play objective istead of go for maximum kills but the rewards/points system isnt right imo.

To many points for kills not enough for objective play.
