Star Wars Gaming Megathread Episode II - Attack of the Season Pass - Games

[QUOTE=RocketRacer;52703624]Played KOTOR and at one moment I just felt like I had enough of it, it just didn't feel that fun to me.[/QUOTE] IT GETS BETTER AFTER TARIS, I SWEAR

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;52702746]Coruscant would be nice. Heck, any planet like Utapau, Cato Nemoidia, or Mygeeto would be welcome.[/QUOTE] Well the number of question marks matches the number of letters in the planet name

While EA's BF1 Fighter Squadron was enjoyable for what it was, EA's BF2 Starfighter mode looks really, really good this time around, and it will probably end up being my most played gamemode. It's a shame they didn't add in "Elite" vehicles as a separate class such as B-Wing, TIE Defender, etc. Hero vehicles are nice, but it would be better to see several elite machines on screen instead of having the Falcon, Black One, Slave One, and Maul's Ship all share the same cramped airspace. Still pumped to be flying bombers, though. Everyone underestimates the missile trucks until they have to shake multiple missile locks.

Just out of curiosity, I just got the complete edition of first one, is the B-wing Pickup in Death star dlc?

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;52703683]IT GETS BETTER AFTER TARIS, I SWEAR[/QUOTE] I got sick of it on Dantooine where I had to go Ruins, and I continued going South to complete a side quest with the local family supposed kidnapping. I was fighting some of these monsters that roam the whole map and I just kinda said "nah that's enough thanks", closed game and downloaded TOR. :v:

[QUOTE=Joey1;52703979]Just out of curiosity, I just got the complete edition of first one, is the B-wing Pickup in Death star dlc?[/QUOTE] Yep In both the Star Destroyer and trench run space stages, along with Y-Wing pickups. Imperials get TIE Bomber and TIE Defender

Is it confirmed that we can nail scout troopers in the dick with the berenstein bears throwing toothpicks?

Well, I've just learned that my laptop, which has an i5 processor and 6GB of ram, quite happily plays Battlefront 2015. Suck it, minimum requirements! ([URL="https://www.cnet.com/uk/products/hp-star-wars-special-edition-notebook/review/"]This[/URL] is the laptop in question if anybody is curious at looking at its specs)

wow... even with just Intel HD520 ?.... I might give it a shot then on my Iris HD550

Takodana? What exactly separates Takodana from every other forest planet?

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;52710007]Takodana? What exactly separates Takodana from every other forest planet?[/QUOTE] Maz Kanata's place?

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;52710007]Takodana? What exactly separates Takodana from every other forest planet?[/QUOTE] That it's half water planet with its giant lakes.

[QUOTE=Joey1;52709994]wow... even with just Intel HD520 ?.... I might give it a shot then on my Iris HD550[/QUOTE] Yup. Slight lag on occasion but otherwise absolutely no problem running the game at all.

Some new Assault on Theed gameplay (yawn) [URL]https://youtu.be/5AuAhqiTSDk?t=8256[/URL] Though it is probably a newer build then the closed Alpha I'm not noticing anything different visually, its possible points and damage have been tweaked, I have less of an eye for that kind of thing.

They should have gone with the first Battlefront 1 GUI hologram theme. That was really cool.

[QUOTE=Shirt.;52711681]They should have gone with the first Battlefront 1 GUI hologram theme. That was really cool.[/QUOTE] I agree. Out of everything about the game, I loved the really amazing aesthetic of the menus. It felt very polished.

Sure does look and sound amazing, as usual. I'm hoping there's more Depth to the game than JUST shooty shoot and aimbotters

[QUOTE=Shirt.;52706049]Is it confirmed that we can nail scout troopers in the dick with the berenstein bears throwing toothpicks?[/QUOTE] Uh oh, he didn't say Berenstain.

Please just be a good game

I guess when they said Arcade had coop they meant console splitscreen only :v: Only thing I'm not liking is the star card rarity/crafting. I hope it doesn't lead to a situation where you find yourself grinding for a powerful card ala jetpack in SWBF

That whole video was just a bunch of waffle, but I like listening to John Boyega talk.

Bunch of new info and images on the official website [editline]26th September 2017[/editline] Descriptions of the objectives of all the Galactic Assault maps [URL]https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/battlefront/battlefront-2/news/galactic-assault-maps[/URL] [editline]26th September 2017[/editline] Page confirms that the first order will have the Special Forces TIE from TFA, I guess that will be their interceptor class.

[T]https://i.imgur.com/45fR5ut.png[/T] He better have the Sheev spin special ability again or I'm boycotting. Also, is there any confirmation anywhere about whether Arcade maps are going to be ground battle exclusively? I'd appreciate being able to do some singleplayer dogfighting in peace.

[QUOTE=Blueleaf;52719960] Also, is there any confirmation anywhere about whether Arcade maps are going to be ground battle exclusively?

[editline]26th September 2017[/editline] Criterion made the space combat, that might be why.

Are Phase I clones Kamino specific? They're my personal favorite out of the armor types, I hope to be able to see them more. This is looking really good, definitely a lot of what we wanted to see from the first EA Battlefront.

[QUOTE=dnqboy;52720193]Are Phase I clones Kamino specific?[/QUOTE] AFAIK yes.

I just realized beta period is actually next week. Sweet, we to try out this game for a bit. To paraphrase a (non canon sadly) Sith: "This is but a taste of the Dark Side, to whet your appetite!"
