More or less Final Thoughts on Star Wars Battlefront

I think the biggest mistake is making the hero a tolken on the map, huge mistake. That really eliminates the desire to be the best you can be in the game since there's no reward for it. And that's a shame. I used to love being granted the hero for having kicked ass in the battlefield. Now it's just a random retard who happens to stumble onto it.

I have indeed gotten used to the flying controls so I'm not too offended by them anymore. But whoever told EA making the ships and stuff an icon on the map to get was an idiot. How badass would it be to land these ships and take a post then jump back in and fly off like the old days, how sweet. And I LOVED that I could jump into a fighter jet as Luke and fly around then jump out and whoop ass. Now that shit's gone and it's painful to live with and pilot look is sorely missed. Why they leave him as RotJ luke makes shit sense. There's plenty of room for both versions and pilot luke can have his own methods and weapons etc... would break things up. Maybe in the DLC.

All I'm going to say is I'll give this game a chance to improve. It IS massively fun and I've only gotten to the tip of the iceberg. I will buy the season pass, I hear they're going to be adding shit tons of stuff, Still tons of shit to unlock, but nothing will change the horrible hero system they've gone with. It's ASS on toast and just a really bad decision. PLEASE release a mode that lets the best player get the hero, for the love of GOD.

I mean the game is glorious fun but yeah there are some strange balancing issues. I mean I'm just a rookie prettymuch and there are people in the session with jump packs and homing launchers and all kinds of shit I can't get yet, so it's NOT easy to play on the lower level at all.

The maps are indeed as people have been saying very ho hum. Nothing terrible but not the more fun maps like BF2 or even the epic huge maps from BF1. I miss the yavin map and yeah we have close quarters weapons but not one of the maps is designed for close quarters combat so why do we have those?

Don't bother using any of the shotguns, they're not going to matter...

I would certainly hope new weapons are down the pipe and possibly customizable laser colors. No doubt there's a hex value that if changed will give you any laser beam color you want, would be nice to edit it to your preferences. Read lasers everywhere is so shitty and the PT thankfully introduced the concept of laser blasters having different colors. Gotta give it to the PT weapons they were the shit.

I do indeed want some of those back for this game. Especially the elctro gun. And I hope we get to have a real jet pack at some point down the line like Boba's. The jump pack won't cut it for long... But yeah So much potential.

I know what DICE is doing. They're holing back basically. This is the appetizer. Battlefront 2 will be the big masterpiece, not this game, I get it. But THIS could have been the masterpiece. Making us wait for Battlefront 2 to get it perfect really is very bad taste on their behalf.

edit:

also where's the weather in the game? No snow, no rain, no fog, no myst? Why can Battlefront 2 do these things yet this game fails at it? Graphics too much for it I guess.
