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

Holy crap flying is different. I mean I knew that it would be going in but it's much harder this go around than I thought. Slowly getting the hang of it though.

Might be a long shot, but does anybody have a leftover key for the beta? I'd love to give it a shot.

How good is BF2 on a scale from EA BF to classic BF2

[QUOTE=Citrus705;52745337]How good is BF2 on a scale from EA BF to classic BF2[/QUOTE] as someone with no nostalgia for the original due to playing it long after release, i'd give it a classic BF2/10 so far this rubberbanding is driving me nuts but that's probably a beta thing, otherwise it's pretty great

Those playing the beta, do classes/starfighter classes not level up during beta? I don't see any way of ranking them up to unlock the other star card slots. Also is scrap just collected from crates? I see no method of scrapping cards for parts. EDIT: Ok somehow my interceptor finally hit rank 5 but I don't know how to track it, or what even contributes to it.

I've been playing for about 2.5 hours now and a lot of stuff feels off and bad. Flight controls feel awful because rolling is tied to the left thumbstick, instead of the bumpers. It's incredibly awkward. Especially if you don't press the left stick forward perfectly (to speed up) because you speed into a roll and fly off to god knows where. Having no secondary weapon to freely swap to (outside of abilities) is also really fuckin' awful as well. I've already had so many scenarios where my blaster would overheat and I would just bend over and take it. Where if I had a secondary I could swap out to, I could've saved myself. Heroes and Villains are also kinda iffy but I might need to see more people play them. As is they feel like papermache, taken down extremely easily. Because of this I pretty much see hero/villain players adopt 1 of 2 play styles. They either pop out and run a little bit only to get melted or they corner camp, wait for you to get near, kill you and run to the next corner. I went in really excited but it just feels meh

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52745352]No.[/QUOTE] How does it not? They've said how they want the game to be an immersive and authentic experience: [quote]“I think for a lot of Star Wars players, it’s all about immersion, and some of that immersion will come from setting that narrative and the setting, and what’s going on in the level, plus we have things like the audio, or making the ships handle really authentically… all of those layers come together and hopefully make for an immersive experience.”[/quote] [url]https://gamingbolt.com/star-wars-battlefront-2-each-map-will-have-a-narrative-focus-dev-talks-about-immersion[/url] They've said how part of their goal with the game is to create an immersive experience and then decided "Lets put in silly emotes and let any hero be in any era even when they don't fit" when that goes against that goal of being immersive and authentic. It's like saying "We want the game to be immersive, even though we aren't going to stick that that vision and will purposefully add immersion-breaking elements".

Do not ever use the MTT reinforcement if you expect to kill someone. It's hot garbage. Like you expect someone having big of laser cannons to kill something but it has no splash damage

This is video shows the possible customization options for arcade at launch. [video]https://youtu.be/rNVHWZIFtps[/video]

Having played the alpha, it feels good to play Maul again. He's definitely weaker with only two spin attacks instead of three and there's also a slight delay added so you can't spam it. His dodge move is however a LOT better than I remember it. It's perfect for moving around corners. Managed to get a ~25 killstreak before losing all my health in an instant (I got reckless). With that said, I like the new hero health system. People used to camp in spawn way too much before. And now, more people will get to play them. Before, it felt like getting a hero was the goal of the game but not anymore.

That's good to hear about the health system It might still be the case, but I hated heroes in BF1, where one appearing nearby often meant "you're fucked and there's nothing you can do about it" cause they had more health than you could possibly remove before they'd one shot you.

The riot control baton from TFA is in the files, and there is a DS2 map called “The Chamber”

Hey, any of you got something for a problem I'm having with the beta? The game simply won't launch. It will open up windowed for a few seconds before putting me back to Origin again. I've tried running Origin as admin, running the game as admin, even restarted my PC and still no luck. A google search gave me nothing either.

i captured some gameplay in the arcade if anyone's interested in how it plays [video=youtube;bMMY6KAEAko]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMMY6KAEAko[/video]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52742504]So the LAAT is "flyable", but it is like the U Wing in the Rogue One DLC, or the AC-130 in Battlefield, it circles the map.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52745920]Seems a bit small for a MP map. Then again what is the player count for HvV[/QUOTE] I think they could get away with making it a bit bigger than it is in the movie. It's 2 vs 2 now I think. Sounds great to me as I always thought the hero modes in BF2015 were a bit clusterfucky.
