The Star Wars Battlefront Topic

It could go either way, but I think most planets will be era specific. Naboo and Kamino will most likely be Clone Wars specific, Hoth and whatever OT planets will probably be Galactic Civil Wars specific, and Takodana and Starkiller Base will be sequel trilogy specific. I could see Tatooine or Jakku mixing eras, however.

They might also be era locked based on tech issues. For the older games I can see how easy it would be to swap out the character models for certain planets, but will all the things going on with the new game, it might be harder to mix eras and planets.

Or Iā€™m completely wrong and itā€™s very simple to do. Iā€™m not a game developer, I donā€™t know how these things work. :stuck_out_tongue:

The only complaint I have with Battlefront 2 so far is a minor nitpick. Which is the classes design. Why are the CIS classes all B1 Battle Droids with a different color patterns? Why isnā€™t there other types like the Commando Droids or Droidekas included in the classes? The only non B1 Battle Droid playable on ground is the B2 Battle Droid which isnā€™t included in the classes but rather as a ā€œpower upā€ you can buy with Battle Points. Hopefully the other factions have a more varied class design and the customization can fix this.

Ive looked further into it and there isnt really one, the voice is never credited in Episode 1 or 2 however several places claim Mathew Wood was the voice in Episode 1 and 2. So im may be wrong.

after watching gameplay and the trailers, I am very hopeful for this game, I think the new health system is great and will be a lot more challenging instead of the previous EA battlefront game where it take a few seconds to regain health, and hearing the clone wars actors for the battle droids and clones gave me a lot of nostalgia.

and those wrist rocketsā€¦ I better watch out.

About Battlefront II, I feel like the specialist class should be buffed a bit. A laser trip mine is just too weak, if it is anything like the one in the last game.

From what Iā€™ve seen so far related to classes, there definitely are some changes that need to be made:

Assault: Looks fine, but I would personally change his shotgun ability.

Heavy: Needs to be nerfed by putting a timer for the personal shield.

Officer: Looks fine.

Specialist: I think his abilities might need some reworking, and maybe since the class is called the ā€œspecialist,ā€ it can carry the most varied options in terms of weapons and abilities. Maybe give him a shotgun as a primary as an alternative to a sniper rifle.

EDIT: Republic Commandos are confirmed! Listen to this for proof. Specifically around 6:50.

This makes me hopeful.

I liked the old BFII campaign for what it was but this seems closer to the caliber of something like Halo.

Space combat looks much more fun and dynamic this time around. My only issues is that I have is that I wish we had multi person vehicles, I know Taft could still very well still be in the game but from what Iā€™ve seen that doesnā€™t seem to be the case. My second issue is that I wish the player limit was a bit higher, I know they donā€™t want to be to close to battlefield but I wish the maps felt a bit more densely populated. Now a few things I l liked: more variety in ships, it seems that each side gets about three ships: one thatā€™s all around like the x wing, a bomber like the y wing and a a fast ship like the v wing, I think the naboo Star fighter will be like the cloud car where itā€™s exclusive to that planet. Next thing I liked: all the different maps, all the dogfighting maps in battlefront 1 felt kinda the same with a few exceptions, I like how from what it seems each map looks different. ive preordered the game so Iā€™m looking forward to it, and I have really high hopes.

HYYYYYYYPPPPPPPPEEEEEE!

So much content!

Someone please tell me if Iā€™m wrong, but there was not eleven vehicles in battlefront one. Iā€™m pretty sure there was only seven unless theyā€™re counting those pick ups in the Death Star dlc which they shouldnā€™t be.

Also Iā€™m glad to see less modes, they should be going by quality over quantity.

Just checked the website, and they only list 10 vehicles included at launch, unless they accidentally forgot one, or included the turretsā€¦

I donā€™t think these should count.

They have more armor and different abilities than the stock ships theyā€™re based on, which makes them more than just a reskin, and therefore different. Same thing with Lukeā€™s X-Wing.
