How EA Star Wars: Battlefront 2 From a Certain Point of View ?
- Thread starter Yukari
- Start date
If it didn't have the EA tag there'd be a lot more discussion about the "turn around" since launch, but I might be biased on that.
It's going for less than $10 I believe at the moment, which given the stuff we've added and are adding it's probably worth a shot. All the new heroes are fully free, not even a credit requirement. Meaning it's great if you're a new player looking to give Kenobi, Dooku etc a try.
Capital Supremacy is pretty good.

Just subscribe to a month of Origin Basic for 5 bucks. You get the full game and many many others (most SW games), and I doubt you'll want to play it much longer than that.
That being said, I actually enjoyed it! I even liked the campaign for as plain and simple as it was, and the multiplayer is mindless rush-and-die fun and spectacle. If you just want to inhabit the world of Star Wars for a few hours it will get the job done, it's certainly worth 5 bucks.

Yes. And it's amazing. But bring time. A round can take up to an hour.
Idk how much is it rn, but last time on xbox was 5$(?) and for this price, worth it easily.
Its a fun game and the new mode its decent too.
My only cons is: lack of maps and weapons since the release. he got like 2 maps for GA since the release day and 0 new weapons.
Other, is the way of play with heros. Sometimes i got enough points to play with them but, the match ends and i dont play with any. Its like lucky based, you need to die in the right time 😝 sometimes we have days with GA and 50% discount in heroes with 8x8 in game heroes, wich is the unique time i play often with them 😅

This.
The sound design is fantastic and it feels immersive. I really, really enjoy the multi-phase Naboo palace map. So lovingly recreated.
And the campaign was not bad at all. Doesn't overstay its welcome. Touches base with the characters you know and love, but tells a fairly unique Star Wars tale.
It's very good.
They have addressed pretty much every major issue that was there at launch.
The new special classes, heroes, and maps are all great.
Thanks so much for all you and the team do for the community. Wanted to say hi at Celebration but didn't make it out there this year.
Yes.

Yes.
I bought it a launch, got a refund after all the lootbox stuff came to light, and then bought it again after they fixed the progression systems.
I'm currently spending most of multiplayer gaming time with two games: Dragonball FighterZ and Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Once you get into the swing of things, it is a VERY fun game. The visuals and sound design are all top notch, and a lot of the abilities and weapons between classes are pretty well balanced.
The only nagging points I have (as far as multiplayer) are:
So, yes, I think you should buy it. This should've been the game they launched with.

The only nagging points I have (as far as multiplayer) are:
- Coming from games like CoD and Battlefront, the TTK is a wee bit too high for my liking. It sucks flanking a group of people but then realizing you can only kill one of them before your weapon overheats or you're discovered by the opposing team. That situation nets 3 - 4 kills for me typically in other games.
- It can be frustrating playing against heroes or some of the other special classes due to how many hit points they have. From purely a shooting perspective, it sucks unloading into somebody and taking like half their health. But to be fair, you shouldn't be trying to take them alone anyway, which is the point.
- Weapon selection(s) and variety was a lot better in the first game, in my opinion.
So, yes, I think you should buy it. This should've been the game they launched with.
It's a very good game and they did a fairly good job of supporting it after launch. It also sold pretty well regardless. Most of the people use the MTX incident as an indictment of a whole game that they haven't even considered playing or even reading up on. It's definitely worth trying out on that EA Access Pass.
I picked it up recently and played through the Story and some MP. I don't really have any strong feelings about it other than it's super beautiful and very Star Wars. Iden Versio is cool and the beginning missions with her can be quite jarring if you let yourself fall into the character that is gunning down Rebels.
It's a great and very fun game. People overreacted at launch over something that ultimately did not effect the gameplay like that thought it did. So it has a big negative rep, but it's a lot of fun! Worth picking up.
I'm having a ton of fun playing it. Capital Supremacy is great, as is heroes vs villains (though frustrating at times).
There's a good variety of modes to try out.

Terrible shit. Shooting feels bad unlike BF2015, weapon options are "shit" or "best pick", everyone else as upgraded gear so good luck fighting them, and campaign's kinda bad too.
Unless newer maps have changed this it looks like a mediocre game even without the MTX. All the combat encounters seem to funnel to bottle necks and there's very little movement around maps.
Highly unlikely. Non-zero chance of Rebels stuff, maybe, but no way anything from the old EU makes it in.
I picked it up on PC last weekend on Origin since it was a little under $5 on-sale. I quickly sold the game at launch when I had it on PS4 because of how awful it was at the time. Now it's actually really good. I hop on and play every so often and yes there's still a community there. I never have issues finding games.
I've been having a lot of fun with it lately.
+The classes fill a big hole that felt missing in the first game.
+The visuals and audio are ASTOUNDING. Have a 4K set with HDR? It's a looker.
+Progression targets and goals are actually spaced kind of nicely. Feels like I am consistently working on a few different upgrades while pushing through the matchmaking. I feel like I am working towards stuff in the matches I play and such challenges have me trying unique builds I normally wouldn't.
-The level layouts feel a bit worse than BF1 or other Dice games. Just not as intricate or interesting. It's been mentioned, but I don't have the fondness for a lot of these maps as I did for the first game or especially the Battlefield games.
-The upgrades can make the fighting feel a bit lopsided. I don't find the gap so crazy, but some will freak at the thought of an uneven playfield based on playtime. My grenades or guns may have a slight disadvantage because I play casually against those that play all day and have upgraded all equips, but eh...I still get plenty of kills and its a meatgrinder game anyway.
-Not much variety to the new modes. Like they aren't flexing their creative muscle with all this SW content. Just pitting the two sides against each other and that's kind of it. I guess its too much to expect something wild and crazy with all these assets? More mixing and matching or era's and objectives? It's a weird nitpick I know.

I picked it up on Black Friday and I've had a fucking blast with it. The progression feels a little weird (understandably) but I dig the arcadey gunplay and it's cool just getting a blast of that atmosphere in short bursts.
Even without the monetization/progress stuff the game suffers from a lack of balance, finetuning and most importantly -decent maps
I picked it up for $4.50 over the weekend, tried playing the single player campaign and ended up getting motion sickness...I think it was from the reoccurring view mode changes while controlling the droid. Hopefully I can give it another try without issues but for $4.50 it's not a big loss.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i got it for $9 and still regretted it
just like its predecessor. It is unsatisfying. But in a different way.
