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

After playing this a lot over the weekend my biggest gripe has to be the sniper rifle. Firstly why is there a sniper rifle in a star wars game and secondly its extremely annoying as so many people are using it and you just keep getting shot from miles away by it too many times. I feel like I'm forced to equip it myself just because I get so annoyed being sniped that I want to do it back to people in return lol.
If they removed that it would be much more fun as I just see too many people camping in spots and using nothing but that sniper.

I don't find the rifle a problem as long as it remains as a weapon in the Card slot. If anything it needs a longer cool down.

TTK with it is fine.

Personally find the cool down spot on, maybe for the sake of pure balance it could be increased slightly but from the actual using it experience its in a good place (might not seem it so much for the person on the receiving end).

I think the bigger problem with it at the moment is the cheating as they can far more reliably take people down from across the map with it than even a skilled player and with a couple or more cheaters on the other team it has a much bigger impact on the game balance than normal.

Hey, instead of announcing what we plan to do for DLC, now we're going to ask you to put money down on something and not tell you.
Every damned time they release a new game they take it one step further, BF4 we had some semblance of DLC and before that even more - now it's just that they're doing some and pay now.

In a decade people will be buying games that only have a name.

Hopefully the cheating will stop when people are using their real Origin accounts and they've paid for the game.

Problem is the second one hack gets busted, the coders find another way to infilrate it. Any semi-competitive game has them now, it's truely baffling to me why people do it.

Sadly I don't have a clue how EA would go about getting ahead of the curve in terms of hacking.
 
Had a couple of games, was ok, uninstalled. Nothing interesting enough for me to buy, even with the Star Wars licence. :)

Screw expansions and DLC, give me a decent game from the off that I can play for a month or two then move on.

I don't have a clue why they would bother trying or even thinking about it - they've made their money (a lot of it before the game has even released) so all that's left to do is fracture the playerbase a bit with pay-walled additional DLC packs to squeeze out what extra profit they can and then move on to the next tired old formula...

You'd think repeatedly pulling these sorts of stunts would damage their reputation (and the reputation of big studios as a whole) but the message from the general gaming public is pretty clear - "shut up and take my money"

cheating is too big a business now. it will only get better and bigger.

i used to check people on here for example through various methods was great fun laughing when you find well known members with multihack bans for various games.

:p

so you just have to except people cheat and either play or don't.
 
Played this a few times last night and found it incredibly boring, uninstalled. Now if you could apply these graphics to planetside 2 then you're on to a winner.

Because we don't have secondary weapons I'm not talking by much maybe 2-3 seconds anymore than that and it gives those who have bad aim too much time to recover from their mistakes.

I find the poor spawns and ability to base rape a bigger problem than that rifle tbh.
