Its weird they let you cycle through ship factions but you can't cycle through infantry factions in the menu.

Star Wars Battlefront II |OT| The Circle is Now Complete

Once you unlock the 3-star challenges, Arcade mode actually gets a little bit interesting.
I mean, it's not fun enough to justify playing it on the regular.......but way way better than the easy challenges where if feels like you are just running around looking for enemies to effortlessly mow down.

Game itself is incredible from a gameplay, graphics, sound, content view. I even really like the campaign.
But progression system and lack of stats are completely awful. Give me some credits more when i'm on the winning side or a exp multiplikator. Just give me something for being good. Lootcrates are pointless if winning is pointless. Online leaderboards anyone? Display the win/lose ratio on an online leaderboard.. oh my God. It's all pointless.

Its fun until you reach the point where you stop getting credits for the next x amount of hours.
The easy Arcade challenges suck because they don't spawn enough enemies to make it interesting......so you just dash around empty hallways killing 1-2 dudes at a time. The harder modes actually throw out lots of enemies to fight, so you're concentrating on combat and not watching the radar to find out where spawns are happening.
Haha, awesome. That's what I figured. (And I'm buying it digitally, too, lol).
Nothing like spawning in an hero ship only to get wrecked within like 6 seconds by a fighter with legendary cards equipped...I don't often rage when I play but fuck that made me angry.
I'm a little surprised at the lack of heroes in the game. I'm sure there'll be a ton of heroes added, but it seems weird that we're missing characters like Obi Wan right off the bat. I wish they'd done all the obvious heroes first and then added some lesser known characters later. I know that the expanded universe stuff isn't canon anymore but I'd love to see characters like Malak and Kreia from the KotOR games, and characters from the books like Mara Jade, Corran Horn, Talon Karrde, etc
So, did somebody already compile a list with the number of small maps in the game? That still remains a mystery to me.
Really? What do you like? The galactic assault I feel so insignificant
So I have a story question. Something I noticed after beating the game, and I wanted to discuss it with you people. Spoilers of course.

Yeah I'd like to see this too.
Additionally, I'll echo the sentiment that the combat shield may need a nerf. Reminds me of the bubbler ability from Splatoon to an extent. Can feel cheap at times.
Also am I crazy or is the ttk significantly higher in this game than 2015? It might be just me but I launched the old game to compare and I am definitely killing dudes faster (and dying less heh)...
I think it is for sure, especially with headshots feeling like more of a thing. I vastly prefer it as well.
The multiplayer is amazing and that's all that I care about. Better than 2015 in every way besides the progression system.
Obi Wan has been confirmed to be added. He will be released alongside General Grievous when they are able to get him working properly. But I would like to see some other heros added like Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress from The Clone Wars.
Only thing seriously hurting HvV atm moment is the lack of
His absence is painfully noticeable.
Get the required characters in and then even charge for randoms that have a fan base to support it.
Bossk for example.
I said back at Battlefront 1 that i'd pay $15 each for Ahsoka and Sabine(heck i'd pay an additional $15 if they did CW and Rebels Ahsoka).

Thats what I have been saying even since Battlefront 1.

Just finished the SP. You get some crates and stuff for finishing it and also some of the side collectables etc.
Overall, without spoiling, it's OK. Nothing spectacular story wise outside of the few later bits but some of the maps feel like they will probably be MP maps.
One or two tedious running around getting for A to B, some straightforward flying missions and jumping around characters.
Again, without spoiling, there is a mission that has you flying around and then landing to do stuff. More of this would have been way more interesting, a really different Starwars game maybe akin to the first Mass Effect.

For me it's not so much needing them but I'd enjoy just tryin to get cards more for the fun of it, otherwise I'm just playing matches really
I don't think so at all (for credits anyway). Give a little bit of scrap per match and I won't have any complaints.
Starfighter and Galactic Assault with Vehicles. The maps without vehicles aren't as good.
I have to get used to it I think. And need to start going for more headshots.
It's ridiculous how the progression system is completely tied to the loot boxes JUST for the sales of crystals. In a 60$ game this is inadmissible! Overhauling this system will be a nightmare for EA. They might as well remove the credits completely and replace them with crafting parts.
A good part of progression is but also through milestones as you play the SP and MP etc. I do wish I could just buy crates from where I am, not have to go back to the main menu.
Did they adjust costs for progression? Or did they just remove the pay system and leave the grind in unchanged?
Overall I'm not as addicted yet as I was 2015 bf. There's some stuff that bother me, maybe not for others but I think in blast it's a bit to quick and easy having these hero type characters nonstop in a match.. Whether I'm using one or gettin crushed by one, I dunno... I just liked how it was in 15. And the spawns are so bad. In 2015 they felt awesome, always sort of in front of you.
I'll spawn and right next to me I can tell enemies spawning...

So I thought your unlocks from the beta transferred over to the full game. I have not seen any of that happen, unless there is something I have missed.

Grind unchanged, crates aren't able to be purchased with cash atm
Don't forget, if you choose the dark size path you're an IRL skinhead or some such shit.
Heh in retrospect that absurd "playing as the space nazis" thread from a few weeks ago is looking even more absurd.
I didn't put hundreds of hours into the first but I played a decent bit. Now I'm not particularly good at shooters and I rarely play them as PvP but I've only enjoyed 2 (really ever) and thats BF 2015 and Overwatch. For me they had had the perfect "mix" of low TTK and high TTD, they got me hooked in the first hours and I stuck with them for a good while.
So as a "casual" shooter player I'd agree with you Prag, it felt more like when I've tried Battlefield games to the previous Battlefront, and mixed with the slow progression I felt like I was only there as Thermal Detonator fodder.
Going to use the full 10 hours of the access trial though to make sure it's not just me.
I do think the ttk could drop like a split second, it's close to being about right but fuck me it's amazing how many guys I unload on just for them to roll out of the wall. There's always a wall, rock, ship, toilet, something... To save them
