I believe there is a way to fix this, Reddit noticed and suggested a few tips to clear it up.

After early access beta is over, I'm going to download the client on PC to check it out. I would be scared to play Battlefront II on PC knowing how the first game turned out. I bought the first game on PC originally but switched to PS4 because of the much more active playerbase.

At first I didn't like the flight controls, but I'm warming up to them a little bit.


I wasn't a fan either. Going to take some getting use to.

I wish you could play as any era on any map, but it looks like the eras are tied into the game modes and map aesthetics. Also, knowing how match making works (no server browser), I guess it makes sense.

I think you eventually can. I believe I've seen in trailers different eras playing on different maps. I'm sure its just locked for the beta.

I don't like how special characters and heroes are unlocked by how well you play. I don't mean to suggest that people who are doing well in a match deserve to be punished or don't deserve to be rewarded, but if you have a handful of players dominating the match, the way it works now only widens the skill gap.

Yep. The not having the hero pickups you can stumble on is not a good thing to get rid of.

Also, I would swear this game is less visually impressive than Battlefront 1 on the base PS4. It's also incredibly fuzzy looking visually. If it's 900p, it's a very ugly 900p.

Looked great on xbox

Yep.

The beta is fun, but it feels just like the last one. Entertaining, but I don't know how long it will hold my attention beyond the scenery and nostalgia. I'll get it because I have no spine, but as of now, I doubt it will be a long play item. I still hate the way they do force abilities for the heroes/villains. Just so clunky. Original BF2 had it just about perfect.

I've gone on record to say heroes should not be in Battlefront at all. I didn't like them in the original Battlefront 2, and they are worse in the EA games. I don't see how it's fun to be on the receiving end of being decimated by a hero character, and they have so much HP that you just want to avoid them any time you see them on the map.

Now that being said, people loved them in the original Battlefront 2, so I understand the push to include them in the EA games, but I do feel that hero access should be randomized. I don't even like random pick ups on the map. I mean having the ability to choose to respawn as a hero character at random when you die.

They were great in OG BF2. I get the complaint in the multiplayer walker assault and stuff. I'd be fine with removing them from that game mode. They were a blast in Glactic conquest pve in og BF2 and should be in a mode like that.

Other than that, having a true heroes vs villains game mode where all you are playing as is them like it was in OG BF2, that is what is needed. That game mode where like half the team is a trooper and the other half are legendary characters is terrible.

Preordered so I got the beta yesterday. Besides lackluster servers (which can be expected considering it's a beta), I must say that the game plays very well.

So far, plays and feels amazing. Flying takes some getting used too. Graphics, although they may not be on battlefield 1 level, they are better than battlefront 1. Actually they might be, it is beta so it might same. Guns feel great and winning a one on one dogfight is extremely satisfying. Specialist is the best class for sure. Love all the class abilities.

Saw a Reddit post that discusses my complaint about the graphics. PS4 here but it applies to all platforms I believe.

Here is what i have heard so far:

On console, games look really good, is a buy

On PC the game is great, and has a great feel

It feels the same. For me.its about the addition of a campaign. Otherwise, it's a pretty game that doesn't have much to offer me

This worries me

IGN LINK

Any kind of P2W model makes the game right out for me. Bad move by EA if this sticks.

I don't ever worry about P2W games. If someone wants to spend their money in a game go ahead, I'll just keep grinding. I'm not trying to be the best in the world, and I know my pvp skills will usually let me out duel most people.

A lot of FPS shooters now a days are trending towards team shooting anyways.

So is it bad on console?

It has 2 1/2 stars, rating, on xbone. i haven't seen that low of a ranking, since they allowed games in progress on xbone, and the games were broken and people paid #3-+ fo them.

I liked the little of the beta I've been able to play so far. It is very similar to the first game, so if you're one of those who didn't like it, you probably won't like this one either. But try to look past all the people who heap hate on the first game, and will do the same to this one, because they aren't exactly the same as the original Battlefront games. The new BFs are exceedingly well done FPS with incredible graphics set in the Star Wars universe. As Yoda would say, let go of your hate, and just enjoy them for what they are. I love them.
