**The Official Star Wars Battlefront II Thread (PC)**

Looks amazing, runs smooth but the game is just so meh. Really disappointed. Like others have said, may pick it up cheap in the future (if I'm really bored/desperate).
 
Played a fair bit, definite improvement over the 1st, but still not a great game, as with the 1st it looks amazing & runs really well, & the starfighter bit was way better for controlling in the space setting.

The infantry stuff tho? just seems like campers/botters paradise, I lost track of how many times I just got 1 shot out of nowhere, or just died in like a second to someone who the death cam showed as behind a wall or something, I could never see them before I was dead, idk if its to do with the built in"wallhack" stuff or what, I certainly never saw any players marked by my team.
 
I really hope the full game maps are much more inspiring than the beta. It's the same map as the closed alpha and I was hoping it wold be a different map for the beta.

For me though, the main issue is the lack of real squad play. Were is the ability to give orders? Where is the spawn on team, mates?

The first thing that happens in this is that you spawn with a 'squad' (really? is it really a squad?) and then everyone runs off in different directions thereby negating any chance to get extra squad points and not allowing any squad play at all.

What a shame.

I will still be buying it though as my 11 year old son loves it. (Does that tell us something about the game?)
 
Has the beta finished or does it finish today?

I fully enjoyed the gameplay, thought it was very fun, harder than the last battlefront which was necessary. The loot box system though...for the love of god, WHY.

I can confirm all of that!

The game will be extremely grindy and a lot of the cards/perks are a huge advantage (talking about cards that provide 25-40% extra damage or damage resistance etc.), this micro transaction system and the complete lack of a squad system is what will kill this game far quicker than the first one....

Here's hoping that the single player will be ace to make up for the MP abomination.

Your right this sucks big time, a game changer in fact.

Watched AJ's video on the crates, it's defo the pay to win.
 
Played the space battles thing last night, very pretty, but there is no skill involved in it at all.

Will buy only if cheap from a cheap VPN deal or wait until it hits Origin access in probably six months time.

Funnily enough, I find the game to be even easier than the first one and the special characters are even more OP, even just the basic/jet pack soldier is OP:

And that is without any special perks for the character.......

What makes this new point system even more hilarious is that you can score up a **** ton of points with the special characters and so when you die, you can re-pick said special character again and go on a rampage AGAIN die, rinse and repeat :o
 
I will still be buying it, even with the loot crates. For the simple reason that, as Angry Joe said in his video, the game is fun to play. In fact Angry Joe went into quite a bit of hyperbole about how much fun he found it. At the end of the day, I will definitely get 35 hours of playtime out of it, which is enough to warrant me spending £35 on it.

Frankly, my biggest issue with the game isnt the loot crates, its the idiot playerbase who think every match is deathmatch and dont play the objectives. The loot crates dont spoil my game, but the stupid damned players do.
