Battlefront Beta Thread

The atmosphere, visuals and sound are all awesome, but the gameplay got boring within an hour or so and i doubt more maps and weapons can fix it.

I'll be passing on BF.

They'll add some stuff and do some fixing, it's just Beta ...

Will there be a server browser?

Played the Beta a couple hours. Got a survey and I filled it in accordingly. They asked me to substantiate my answer and the reasons they let me choose from made it apparent the game is aimed at more casual gamers. They are concerned about the game being possibly too complicated, while one of its bigger problems is that it seems to lack any complexity (or communication and with that, tactics). Animations are a little wonky. Darth Vader animations were kinda hilarious I lmao'd watching him get bombarded by grenades and trying to breakdance his way out of it.

The random pickups on the map seem like a step back. I kinda wanted this to be a little more like a BattleField game than it is.

There seems to be some RNG involved in this game. Maybe because it's aimed at casuals?

Sometimes I'll be aiming right at someone's head and the shot will land perfectly, other times it will just fly wherever. I'm tap-firing these blasters, like I would a DMR in Battlefield, but it doesn't help.

Agree with what most say about this game (and I'm happy with how it runs on my PC). The visuals are *gorgeous*, and the audio from the soundtrack to the weapon SFX is a feast for the ears. And while the game is fun on a basic level, it's also just so run-of-the-mill and pretty derivative.

Also even given the limited selection of guns, I really don't feel that much variation in handling, balancing, precision, scope zoom factors, and firing rates. I mean it's there, sorta, but just so minuscule that what ever I unlock it still feels like I'm firing the same weapon each time.

This is an uninspired shooter that's relying solely on the Star Wars cache for its success.

I have no interest in this game at all.

finally got around to trying the beta, it's not that great

I don't think i'll be buying this

This game will lack content like Titanfail did.

Titanfall mechanically was light years ahead though. The controls and gunplay are excellent in Titanfall. In short it had solid base to add on to and with the season pass it became a solid game.

This Battlefront game is just mechanically really bland. And the aerial vehicular combat is ugh. I dont even know why they even added that on its atrocious. They should have just made a new Rogue Squadron or something and made it an entirely different game.

First impressions were BAD. But the more I play it the more I enjoy it. So I better stop playing :p

I liked it, probably gonna pick it up Day 1. But I am skeptical of the longevity of the appeal of the game.

Damn, the more I play, the more I like it. Walker Assault is a fucking blast after you learn how to control everything. The planes are especially weird to control. Finally managed to win with the rebels once. Taking those fuckers down is very rewarding.

Looks like I'll probably be getting it now. Don't really care that the game isn't super deep, because it's a lot of fun.

Can you get inside a Snowspeeder and take out the AT-ATs with that ?

Yes but not really.
You mean the towcable, right?

It's a mini game in which you have to keep pushing up/down to keep a dot between two lines.
So, not as good as in Rogue Squadron where you could fly around the legs yourself.
Your trajectory is set, so you can automatically crash into a nearby rock being unable to stear away from it.

Much like the locked lightsabers it's something they could relatively easily make way more awesome.

Yeah I was thinking about Rogue Squadrons take on the battle indeed. Flying around the AT-ATs ^^

What do you mean with locked lightsabers ?

You sometimes play Luke/Vader by randomly finding a Hero pickup on the map. When two opposing 'heroes' waggle their lightsabers in each others vicinity they get stuck into a quick time event (they simply mash the fire key). It looks silly because they just stand there while getting bombarded by the two teams, and the animations can be clunky making the whole thing look like a very comical train wreck. It feels like the Heroes could have been handled a little better. Maybe they will find the time to smoothe that out after the release.

There is a lot of potential for this game. But yeah they do need to improve and fix a lot of things before this game is complete.

But battlefield 3&4 were also not launched in the state they are in now. So most likely DICE will be continuing work on this game for a while.

Its a shitty battlefield with star wars skins. How can anyone be looking forward to this? The beta was so casual and bland.

Are we so seriously guys? This game is boring as fek. I'm telling you, the charm of the old Battlefront games is not found here.

If Dice manages to have some sort of real vehicle battles, and a lot more modes n maps, this game could really turn out to be something.

Tried the Beta yesterday. It was like a simpler Battlefield game. Not very impressive at all. Graphics were pretty good, though.

Yeah we have yet to see any vehicle vs vehicle battles.

But there is a mode where it's just fighter planes facing off.

And there is also a mode that looks like classic Battlefield.
