Battlefront Addendum

Just more thoughts on this typical battlefront game. I will max out my stats and such and hopefully the new DLC fixes what is a very messy game, fun as hell but messy. Thankfully since we're in the online gaming era, no developer ever truly has to finish a game, just release it and patch the fuck out of it. My GTA 5 game has NO resemblance at all to the game I bought anymore, which is kinda weird but that's the name of the game these days. Buy a game at the store, then download the rest of it later!!!

Whole new world. I come from the days when you went to blockbuster and rented a game for your system and if it was shitty you got fucked, if it was great, the dev team gave a damn and created a wonderful game. Kinda sad that the companies are getting away with releasing half finished games these days since everyone who buys it can just download the updated finished stuff later, but I won't complain if EA fixes this game and makes it much better than it is right now which is basically Battlefield for KIDS!!!!!

What do I want in Battlefront 2 the inevitable better sequel? Just do everything battlefield is doing, fuck it. That's what Disney wanted, why they wanted DICE to make it, cuz battlefield really is the BEST online war game to date. They wanted DICE to just do that but with star wars shit. But no DICE had to have some kind of bravado and try to make some new type of battlefront which just ultimately feels like a crazy mashup of battlefield and the old battlefronts. The game has NO identity of its own. It's a clone of 2 better franchises put together.

They can fix this thing... Han Solo, got to talk about him. What a horrible Hero he is. I can't begin to make sense of the choices they made regarding his abilities. At least in the old battlefront they made the regular non-force-powered heros have a few tech devices to aid them, detonators and such so they can potentially stand toe to toe with a jedi, but even then playing as Han or Leia in hero battle was damn near impossible against jedi who had  a billion powers.

Same here and that's trully awful. This game is well aware of how horrible and shitty the old hero system was in battlefront 2 yet they make the same mistakes. Playing as HAN is INSTANT death for you in hero vs villains or anything. He's horrible and has NOTHING to save him in the battlefield against superior opponents. Only shit he has is the super powered hadouken gun shot thing that he's got, and it's just hard to aim that shit. If that was an ON Call shot not a power up shot, done, good shit.

But no. His little line backer rush power is just stupid as shit. It's a fucking tough power to use and when you're done using it, surprise you're right where your enemy wants you to be and you get hacked to shit.

Ultimately they should have given Han and Leia a handicap in the game since they're going up against much tougher heros, simple as that. Make their health double in the next update and you'll get praise from me DICE. Just look at the statistics and they won't lie. Hero VS Villains most of the time the villains win because they have actual good fucking powers. It's that simple. I'm always surprised when we win as the heros in that game mode, because it's just an unfair match, simple truth.

What else can they fix in this very very mixed bag of a doritoes game they made??? Heh, so much I can't even begin to name them all.

Health goes down way too fast. It's like weird. You go into a room with a probe droid, it shoots you and nearly kills you, but you escape, then you get shot from behind by some guy. I don't know if they'll give a shit since that's a shooter for you, the name of the game is avoid getting shot of course, but to me it seems like I'm made of tin foil in this game, I get shot just maybe 2 or 3 times and I'm dead.

I hope we get better more interesting new skins for the troops and heads etc. Wow what a bare bones selection they've created. I'd kill for a facial mapping and image capture feature like they do in some sports games. Playing as myself would be sweet.

What else, maybe make the ATST a vehicle accessble to both rebels and imperials in an update. That was cool in BF2, didn't matter, anybody could drive anybody's ships. As it is now. It's very lame that I play as the rebels in any match and I have to deal with a few fucking ATST's hanging out and rebels have SHIT to defend themselves with against those things. Who came up with that shit? That was a serious complaint in the beta that the rebels don't have an ATST equivalent in their arsenal so they're royally fucked in battle against a few of those. So true. Why did they not fix that issue?

Generally just fix a lot of the minor annoying things a bout the game. Getting Killed right off the bat like in one of my videos on youtube. If we didn't spawn so close to each other at the start, that wouldn't have happened. In fact, a lot of the spawn locations DICE has chosen are shitty and put you right next to the action so you get shot before you can figure out where the hell you are.

It's a super strange mess of a battlefront game and I'll personally move on to Metal Gear if DICE doesn't update and balance out the game's flaws a little more...
