re: How bad is Battlefront?

It lacked the best part of battlefront 2, which was the all out Heroes vs Villains matches. The game looks great and can be fun, but it is about 1/5th of a full game. They put all their effort into making it look good then stopped. Seriously, WTF are there only 3 heroes and 3 villains? fricking stupid. Where are all my characters?

Game isn't that bad

You either like it or don't

It's enjoyable for a quick 30 min gaming session or so.

It's just a fun game

That's the problem. Battlefront is not a Star Wars themed arena brawler. It is meant to simulate the feel and scale of battles on film.

You buy Battlefront because you want to play as a Stormtrooper or X-Wing pilot not because you want to play as Mace Windu

Great. You obviously didn't play 2 then.

You know what is amazing about video games, those two things don't have to be mutually exclusive. You can easily have both. 2 did it wonderfully

It's also perdy.

That looks so real. Its a shame they only included 4 planets.


Could you imagine the graphics at a place like Cloud City or Coruscant? Amazing.

This sums up just how fricking pathetic Battlefront is. I should've known some stupid shite like this would happen from the moment EA would be in on it. From Reddit:

It's fun to play, but besides the limited maps, they added BS "star cards" like pulse cannons and (the worst) homing shot to assist players that can't shoot to kill you in one shot.

Nothing more frustrating than wrecking a whole squad and some geek who can't shoot uses a homing shot that follows you from 100 yards away

That chart was already posted and its inaccurate. 4 maps isn't telling the truth either. There are 5 planets. Several different maps on each planet depending on what game mode you play.

It doesn't have space battles but the aerial battles on this game are MUCH better than the ones on Battlefront 2. Most of the problems with the game are minor little issues that can be solved with a patch or two.

Now I am disappointed that they didn't include more planets. When they do the sequel I can deal with 6 planets at launch and 4 heroes/villains as long as they include a full big campaign as well. If no campaign then they need to include the offline mode they had this go around and up that to 8 planets and 5 heroes at launch. And the DLC needs to go from $9.99 down to $4.99 no matter what.
