Yea but those are just unlocks, not really anything you can customize or upgrade. Hopefully there is more in the game. I know it's just a beta but I felt like there wasn't any depth at all, just chaotic (though fun) gameplay.

I'd be really interested in playing the campaign mode of this game, I wish it had one

^That's supposedly a big complaint people have been having (amongst others). The other complaints can be fixed before official release but obviously a campaign would take a lot of time. Maybe if enough people complain they'll release it as DLC in a few months. Of course they'll over charge for it (come on, this is EA) but it's something.

CS:GO is about 3 times as fun

edited to add: even Titanfall is more fun/balanced

The current "Walker assualt" mode isn't fun because there is no penalty for death and no reward for killing.

The level of chaos also means that kills and deaths have less to do with what the player does and more with randomness.

This makes the player less invested in the game, and less invested in the outcome (W or L).

having squads instead of 2-person partners would help the walker mode a lot. maybe not enough, but it would help a lot.

People, people, please remember this is just the beta. The whole purpose was to find this kind of thing out. There is no way they would leave Hoth so unbalanced in the full game. They will likely make the AT-ATs a lot easier to destroy. They gotta fix the spawning mechanic too.

Having squads would definitely be a great addition too.

but the changes it needs are much bigger than the tweaks usually made between beta and final version, this game needs more than balancing tweaks

I think AAA betas are typically representative of the final product though, I don't recall any major design changes ever being implemented in previous, now rare AAA betas. I think they mainly test servers/matchmaking. Operation Metro in the BF3 beta played just like it did in the full game.

When I played the first couple of matches I wasn't that impressed. Then I unlocked some new stuff, got used to the maps, etc, and had a pretty good time with it. Squads would be good, but I don't think it needs a crazy complex weapon system like Battlefield. Hoth should be tweaked some, but it should be difficult for the rebels to win. This should be good for people who want to load up the game, play a few rounds, then leave.

And it ran way smoother than I thought it would. Just wish it had a server browser.

yeah i enjoyed it as a casual, big team game. i dont want long ass death timers or major point penalties when i die...thats not the kind of fps i enjoy.

That or a numeric ping display. I played on PC and Xbone and don't recall that being visible. I thought it played smoothly but not having a latency indicator is really stupid for a shooter.

Ugh, I loved battlefield 2 so much. Now my laptop barely meets minimum specs.

I could buy a xbone or PS4. Or I could build a new PC. Not sure if this game is worth it.

But I REALLY want to play this thing. Sucks to hear about the balancing on Hoth though.

boo

I have been playing this via ea access as well and it is fun. I didn't really like the beta, but this is much better. It does seem like they were concerned with the beta and made it walker assault too easy for the rebels. I want to say that in the beta you had to have both terminals active to start getting the tie fighters, but now each terminal has its own cool down so you can basically get twice as many fighters. Plus you can still get fighters with only one terminal up. I played a handful of games and the imperials never won.

the multiplayer is wayyy underwhelming

definitely not enough customization for weapons etc and as cool as the maps are the gameplay seems a bit off. Not sure if I want to commit time to it now

^^ lol so they went from having the Empire win every Hoth battle to the Rebel Alliance winning every battle? What about the other maps that have walker assault?

I really enjoyed the beta but I don't think it is worth $70. I will probably get it at some point, just only after it drops in sale. Maybe there will be a special on Black Friday/Cyber Monday or something.

i have played a handful of games. now i dont know much of anything about star wars lore, but i played on the beta map (snow), a jungle map, and i think there was a map in a desert. rebels won every game on every map. the jungle map only has one walker too. i mean you can get like 10+ fighters if you keep both uplinks for the entire time...that is a ton of time to damage the walkers. i never remember getting that much time in the beta.

so meh hard to think about the fact that i just paid 60 for it but its the type of game you will get a little bit of fun out of occasionally for a relatively long period of time instead of an incredible amount of fun in a very short period of time like most games.

Ive been trying to get into this but it still is super underwhelming. Not being able to level up and customize weapons etc really makes it boring

Yea ^,^^ my sentiments exactly. So disappointed in this one. I'm a big battlefield nhd company 2 multiplayer man myself, and I was hoping for a similar experience.

Not being able to go prone was all I needed to see in the beta to make me not buy

i've heard nothing but disappointing opinions about this game. really sad, considering how awesome the first two were on original xbox back in the day.

i said all that before playing walker assault. i wanted to level up a bit before playing that mode and it has paid off i started getting into walker assault, getting used to the map specific strategies, cards and hands to pick, pickups and playing as a hero and really fell in love with it. the idea of 20 on 20 is pretty cool.

Once you unlock some of the weapons and customize your hands to your playing style, it becomes a lot more fun. it really is the top 5 or so players on each team simply outgunning the new players which makes it really bad at first.

If you havent gotten it yet (and/or need a ps4), starting tomorrow all the ps4/battlefront bundles are 300, down from 350. If you bought one recently, might wanna go get your money back (best buy has already announced they will refund anyone who bought one since black friday)

alright i'm tired of every map and every mission now. not enough variety to still be interested at level 21.

the planes are shit and should be able to lock on to foot soldiers at least.

spawn killing is a bad problem especially if you're playing cargo

[Edited on December 6, 2015 at 11:57 AM. Reason : great game if you're not gonna put much time in. bad once you reach a certain amount of hours]

I play maybe 4-5 hours a week, and I think you are right about it being more of a casual game. I'm only level 8 and still really enjoying it.

I want it to mean battlefront 2 will be more like the battlefield series. Better vehicles, more dynamic fighting/layers of combat etc.

Actually, just make the next battlefront a mod of battlefield.
