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

New patch, mostly bug fixes and small gameplay changes. Nothing to get excited over [URL]https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/86502/star-wars-battlefront-ii-release-notes-patch-1-03[/URL] [video]https://youtu.be/IyI_qv3p8lY[/video] [editline]30th November 2017[/editline] [video]https://youtu.be/RQn9BDmbBSI[/video]

great so not only did they gimp rewards for arcade but they restricted the content?

The AI pathing isn't very good for the unreleased maps (you can see troopers walk into a pit on DS2), and there is no pathing at all on Endor. They're just incomplete. Criterion implied they'll keep working on Arcade post launch, so we might see them in a future update.

love finding all the unfinished shit in this soulless cash grab

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;52934986]love finding all the unfinished shit in this soulless cash grab[/QUOTE] Not discounting this game's scummy business practices but this level of unfinished content is total normal especially for a game with post launch content updates. There's really nothing mischievous about this when we're getting all of it later for free.

Yeah, finding unfinished content is nothing new in any game from any company.

is there a way to turn off the sun? i literally cannot play on some map (Strike at Kashyyk, droid side) without being blinded by the sun everytime i spawn

[QUOTE=Gauzemann;52935018]is there a way to turn off the sun? i literally cannot play on some map (Strike at Kashyyk, droid side) without being blinded by the sun everytime i spawn[/QUOTE] Don't think so. Obnoxious, ~artistic~ post processing, filters, colour grading, blood overlays and lens flares are all par for the course in Dice games.

[editline]30th November 2017[/editline] I don't think I even implied it either [editline]30th November 2017[/editline] As for this level being normal this is a bit more stuff found I typically see for games like this, and I think it'd be a little naive to presume that this wasn't because of EA trying to catch the new Episode just like last game

[QUOTE=ferrus;52935063]Don't think so. Obnoxious, ~artistic~ post processing, filters, colour grading, blood overlays and lens flares are all par for the course in Dice games.[/QUOTE] You can disable the lensflare with cheat engine, but that seems like a bad idea to use online.

definitely do not do that this is the company that banned people for using that mod that turned off the blue filter in Battlefield 3

Well right now it appears there is no anti-cheat system at all in BF2.

Ultimately it's your risk to take but I recall people from the company saying they're enforcing that mod ban deliberately as a cheat, so I think they're a bit unforgiving in that regard

Well I personally wouldn't use it. [editline]30th November 2017[/editline] Apparently they changed Chewie's icon in this patch, right is new [img]https://i.redd.it/y6mlxigj74101.png[/img]

Looks like they replaced a render with art? It looks better though

Finn's Into Music and Portrait were found in the patch files [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefrontTWO/comments/7gnow8/finn_portrait_and_intro_music/[/url]

[quote]Fixed an issue where some automatic doors would not open when approached by Villains in Heroes vs Villains.[/quote] Yay they finally fixed Maz's castle and the ice map door then. [quote]In the upcoming patch, we will have focus on doing balance changes for Heroes and Villains mode.[/quote] Guessing that means Boba is about to be heavily nerfed. Hopefully it's not too bad :( No afk farming fix and no performance based credits mentioned...

[QUOTE=Big Snake Bos;52935508][video=youtube;WTRiH1byxzQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTRiH1byxzQ[/video][/QUOTE] And to this day there are people who have a complete alpha PC version of this and refuse to share it.

Yeah and they'll leak literally anything but the build itself

I'd love to have that. [editline]30th November 2017[/editline] Did I see an interdiction/immobilizer in that? The Hoth map appears to have the exact same layout as the original, hm.

[QUOTE=Big Snake Bos;52935508][video=youtube;WTRiH1byxzQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTRiH1byxzQ[/video][/QUOTE] This just proves to me that the new Battlefront games should really be their own thing. Battlefront was all about sandbox. They pushed it so hard from 1->2 and you can just see a huge amount of growth here with more content than we have in BF2015 and BF2017 combined. So many planets. I'm still bitter that you can't get in and out of ships. I just want Free Radical's.

IIRC the build that is out there is older then that video. So even if someone did leak it, it wouldn't be as complete.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52935574]IIRC the build that is out there is older then that video. So even if someone did leak it, it wouldn't be as complete.[/QUOTE] You're talking about the Xbox 360 version that was leaked a while ago, which is indeed way more outdated than in that video. But that PC build some people have is very close to the one in those videos. [editline]30th November 2017[/editline] And I know for a fact there is one person on this forum that has a copy of the PC version.

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;52935592] And I know for a fact there is one person on this forum that has a copy of the PC version.[/QUOTE] how did people get it? and why wasn't it ever leaked further? seems strange

From what I gather that person actually worked on models for ea or something

If there's one advantage to us not getting the Battlefront 3 game shown in the trailers, it's that Dice's Palpatine is much more true to the original trilogy in that he doesn't use a lightsaber. Say what you will, I much prefer an old school evil sorcerer lightning hands Palpatine who didn't need a Jedi weapon to fight his battles.

I love that if you compare BF2 to those leaks, pretty much the only functional things the new game has that the leaks don't is star cards and points used to pick special classes. Meanwhile flip it around and the list of things it has that BF2 doesn't is huge

Jesus, the 'Choose your Faction' event is literally one of those F2P mobile events where if you participate you can get a reward [video=youtube;sFtA4jse0ZQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFtA4jse0ZQ[/video]
