Weird. It's always greyed out for me, saying max number reached. I'll have to try more later, but I fear there will be the same outcome.

Why aren’t you playing Battlefront 2?
- Thread starter Gunslinger
- Start date
Battlefront 2 ended up becoming an amazing game and it sucks so many have wrote it off for various reasons. I mostly play HvV but the other modes can be fun distractions. I'm not very good at shooters, but it's not a competitive game, so losing is really not that serious. It just feels cool being immersed in the Star Wars universe.
If it's on sale and you're a fan of Star Wars, definitely consider picking it up. Even the single player content will give you your money's worth at a cheap price point.

How bout some Rogue One content? Jyn and Krennic were great additions to Battlefront 1 and although Scariff was a bit chaotic, there's some good potential in Rogue One imagery for a map or a space battle.
Kinda sucks they just ditched it. In fact I just wish they'd retroactively make all Battlefront 1 maps free and one big fuck off playlist instead of having to search for each map pack. It is the superior game.
Also OT stuff wouldn't be remiss. Other than skins I don't think they added any new OT content at all right? A new, in atmosphere, flight map would be cool I think the only one is Kamino?

I don't enjoy the game loop or modes and I've tried it multiple times now. I'd rather that just did a battlefield with Star Wars weapons. I'm just never having fun when I play.
I don't see DICE adding any new flight maps. Ever. They have refused to do so for the past two years.
I also don't see any new OT content coming for at least half a year from now. I do also wish all the BF1 maps (and heroes) were ported, but DICE has said they would have to be converted to the new engine, which means there would be almost as much work as making a new map/heroes, so they'd rather make new maps/heroes.
Played a bit over the weekend and it's a damn fine time
It's incredibly mindless, something I can throw a podcast on, whereas other MP games this year like MW and Gears are too intense to zen out to.
The production values are too notch, there seems to be a ton of maps, and the way DICE games dole out points for literally anything is still satisfying.
I also think the game plays better than its predecessor. All the guns in BF2015 felt purposely inaccurate in a way I could never click with. Here, I feel in complete control of my shots.

Because the people working on it lie through their teeth to string the fanbase along as long as possible for a mediocre at best game.
Im not supporting their BS.

But no, I've been playing it and it's pretty great now. Good job on not giving up on it. Gotta give it to DICE; for the most part, they haven't given up on their terrible releases. BF4 at launch and today are two different games, same with this one.

Yes, the new planet Ajan Kloss is available in co op and heroes vs villains. It'll be added to Capital Supremacy and instant action next month.
Ajan Kloss. The Jungle Planet where the Resistance is stationed
It's for co-op and Hero v Villains only right now, but it will be added to capital Supremacy and Instant Action next month alongside playable BB-8
I don't like how blatant and better the upgrades are, don't like how they keep using the star card system (let me spawn with a shotgun or a sniper finally omg), don't like the game modes and don't like the meat grinder style maps. Also think the shooting is a step back from Battlefront 2015 or even Battlefront 2 2005
1) Backlog. If I didn't have so many games to play, I'd probably have time for BF2.
2) They've neglected my 2 favorite modes: Starfighter Assault and Extraction. If they added some new maps/content to them, I'd have more reasons to return.

Some of the design decisions are honestly infuriating
The maps are hard enough to navigate especially the indoor meat grinder ones but there's no minimap? Yet there is a radar that lets you just see dots of every enemy on screen?
Why do they still not have a standard conquest game mode?
Why are 4 out of the 16 guns unable to be modded meaning they're destined to be in a worse spot than the others?
I know they don't want it to he a battlefield clone but even then I'm not sure why they abandoned the arcade-y shooting of the past games either.
It's like an amalgamation of the worst aspects of both franchises which is so frustrating because the atmosphere and whatnot are so great

No. You get the game and when you update you get all the content up to the TROS update
I've been playing it with my friends. It's very fun with all the updates they made over they years. They gave it a lot of free good content.
Been playing a lot of Starfighter Assault, and a bit of the other modes and all my clone dudes are rocking 501st skins.
Is pretty good.

Is there any multiplayer mode online where once you die you have to watch the rest of the match like in Counter Strike?
It's ok but it's carried hard by the IP. Shooting mechanics are so good in so many games that BF2 just doesn't feel as satisfying imo. At the end of the day though I think star card progression is terrible and grinding them sucks. I downloaded it again recently but after a few games I was over it.
I'm interested in it but wasting money on it would be a dumb choice for me since history shows I don't stick to multiplayer shooters other than R6 Siege.
There aren't depending on what you are looking for. Battlefront 2 is easily my most favorite of this gen. Amazing game. Actually loved it since release and never even had a problem with the progression system. Because if you played regularly you could get those cards you needed rather quickly. Also Starfighter Assault needs his own game already. So good.
I disagree with this. There is nothing quick about grinding star cards. It's a slog.
It is a slog, especially for heroes and starfighters.

I'm still on my EA boycott, thanks to that I even dodged shit show like Anthem and Battlefield 5.
Life without EA has been amazing so far.

already have another Dice game and BF 3 should easily surpass it in case it'll be developed for the next-gen only. If i'm still interested in MP shooters by then I may give it a try.
Heroes. They are so stupid overpowered, makes the game a sloppy mess. They have so many one shot abilities and can mow through hordes of players without taking much damage, in the hands of souped up cards and good players, they decimate entire teams.
I just want to play basic troopers and such, pure class combat, but thats restricted to the boring death match modes.

This game is great now.
Now is a really good time to start because they are adding sequel trilogy maps to the capital supremacy mode. It will add a lot of replay value and variety.

Uninstalled it again, wanted to try Destiny 2 again, and needed space, stood between this and Apex, and Apex is a bit more fun imo
I think the game is a tremendous achievement but for the life of me I cant see shit in that game
Because I saw the price was 59.99 for the version with all the stuff and thought nope, if it was half maybe.
