Star Wars Battlefront

[CatsCatsCats]

What edition of this should I buy this weekend? Does Season Pass mean future proof on dlc?

[brawndolicious]

The deluxe edition just seems to have some cosmetic stuff and early unlocks. The season pass is to get the 4 DLC map packs not counting Jakku which is free for all in a couple weeks.

That feel when you shoot down 3 Tie Fighters and take down an At St helping the team win a Supremacy match

I'm 31 and got into SW around 13, so longer than Andrex has been alive.

Not true.

Damn I'm getting old.

[CatsCatsCats]

Game is pretty rad, wish there was more you could do split screen.

[Stoney Mason]

Sometimes you have runs in this game that are godly.

[BrokenVerses]

Other than the occasional raging at a failed abortion of a team, this game has been pretty fun so far.

Seriously if you want to play Deathmatch go do that. Activate the fucking Uplink.

Though isn't this pretty much the problem with every multiplayer online game, ever?

I'm damn hooked at this point. The A-Wing is totally over powered, I'm just about unstoppable in one playing flight squadron

This is true and everyone has found out, not sure if it's just the speed or the size making it hard to hit. When playing as imperials I just try to focus on the x wings which are almost always AI.

Hopefully they balance that and Walker Assault on Endor where it's too easy to win as rebels.

Hit Box is wonky, they will address it with the Jakku patch I would assume.

15 hours played, rank 20, almost 1k kills, 1 k/d and 35% trophurs unlocked

I killed a ton of A-Wings in a TIE Interceptor the other night. You're right that there are a lot of AI X-Wings though. I was disappointed when I realized that every fighter on the map wasn't a human player. I'd really love it if they could make it so that you have the same number of ships with no AI.

For the DLC they should add some new ships. Throw in the B-Wing for the Rebels and the TIE Defender for the Imperials. Shit would be fun.

Guys how do we not know the following

20 on 20
10 on 10 human contolled
All AI are standard Ties
All AI are X-wings

c'mon brehs

[Cerveza mas fina]

The ai is a bit lame, also there should be more geometry to fly through. Space battles and asteroid fields etc

[Am_I_Anonymous]

Agreed.

These things need to happen:

1) Nerf the Falcon and Slave One, specifically the Falcon and that damn ramming shield
2) Increase the hit box on A wings by 20%
3) Allow AI to fly both types of vehicles so assholes like me don't go 7-29-4 by targeting ties
4) Add space battles damnit
5) See post 4

Also, I was actually killed by a turbo laser once. Didn't know that shit was live 

[Stoney Mason]

Tried turning point and Jakku. The mode is "okay" although its mostly one big zerg. It would work better if you had to plant a bomb or something instead of just staying in the cap point.

The map is okay although its a sand/desert map so calling it Jakku doesn't significantly make it any different than if it was on Tatooine.

I got bored of this game from just watching a 25 minute gameplay video.

It's a shame as it looks so damn good, if only there was a decent campaign in there.

[CatsCatsCats]

I'm still lovin it, crushed it on Heroes vs Villains tonight and got up to 14. I guess story based co-op would be cool or whatever but it's totally not the type of thing I want from it. I just want to do well, get credits, unlock shit and develop strategies around the shit I unlock to outsmart anonymous people. I fucking love that shit. Watched my stepson take down a AT-AT tonight with an airspeeder's tow cable in Walker assault to win the match too, it was awesome.

[Cerveza mas fina]

MR G, watching a 25 min of any game would be boring, you need to play it. Game is dope.

[CatsCatsCats]

I bought the survivalist trait, kinda wishing I did the scout one, guess I'll just buy that next

[Stoney Mason]

I think a lot of the traits are cool but I think staying off the mini-map is so crucial that I end up sticking with that one. I wish sprinting didn't put you on the mini-map as it would allow me to switch up on those traits more readily.

The dumb criticisms this game has gotten are kinda odd and show the disconnect between me and what a lot of gamers are. Same thing happened with Titanfall.

Which is not to say you can't criticize this game. There is a lot that can be intelligently criticized. Balance issues, amount of maps, etc.

But there is this over-riding criticism that keeps harping back on this issue of "depth" which is such a subjective thing in the shooter space that when people talk about it it strikes me as odd. Not to mention it ends up trying to pigeon hole all shooters into one type of design model.

[CatsCatsCats]

I've been getting a bug where my star cards don't work on the first spawn of a match or round. One respawn seems to fix it, so I've taken to sprinting into battle at the beginning of every round/match.

[brawndolicious]

Never seen that bug but it is a very glitchy game. I've had it totally crash even a few times.

I just wish the number of maps and vehicles was doubled. That's what really annoys moi.

Yeah, Plants VS Zombies: Garden Warfare is by no means a deep game with perks and ability trees or crap, but it is crazy fun to play, and perfect for a less brofessional audience.

There seems to be a relatively recent belief among reviewers and even the hardcore people who play these games that everybody who is playing them is in preparation for turning MLG pro and therefore every design decision that is made in these type of games needs to follow forward from that principle. I understand why this is happening. I just don't agree with it. This idea didn't exist maybe 5 to 7 years ago. But its dominate now in this genre.

18 hours in now and Im running with the E11, impact nade, jetpack, scout trait and that area scan thing.

As im playing a lot of dropzone might switch that for the shield.

Curious if the dl blaster really is that good, but I havent liled any other gun but the e11 so far

[CatsCatsCats]

Switched to bounty hunter trait, it's pretty rad. Been just hopping between game modes, blasters, and star cards based on what my current objectives are.

[Cerveza mas fina]

That personal shield card is doing my head in on Dropzone, hate feckers capping my pods with it. Think I need to equip something to shoot through it, Ion blast?

Dropzone is legit a great mode, so tight sometimes 

Fighting over last pod for minutes after timer runs out

Such a great looking game

Best AV of the gen so far
