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

Clones sound like Morrison and the Republic officers seem to have varying faces (canon since they were veterans brought in from other forces). Theed looks like it's going to be a living hell to play.

Where did you hear Morrison? They all sounded like Dee Bradly Baker to me.

Theed looks like it's going to be a living hell to play.[/QUOTE] Clones aren't Morrison. They're voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. I guess they went for him instead of Morrison to avoid confusion as Morrison voices Fett. And I wager more people are familiar with Baker's clones than Morrison's.

So Naboo has N1s, wonder if other planets will have unique vehicles maybe Wookiee ships for Kashyyyk? [editline]10th June 2017[/editline] Deathtroopers might be the imperial version of the B2.

Wookie flyers and wookie soldiers for the heavy class would be neat for Kashyyk. [editline]10th June 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Tuskin;52338203]Where did you hear Morrison? They all sounded like Dee Bradly Baker to me.[/QUOTE] My bad then.

Completing the in-game quests and challenges, taking part in events, and opening Crates can all grant Star Cards, which allow you to further customize your trooper, hero, and starfighter abilities.[/QUOTE]

Either they removed lock on while in fighters, or no one used it.

Damn, that looks pretty good.

Looks like they made aerial combat a lot better than just "lock and hold down shoot".

I passed on the first game but I'm definitely going to get this one

According to the official website, some weapons are restricted to what side you're playing as (Dark and Light). There are still some weapons available to both though. [url]https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/battlefront/battlefront-2/classes/[/url] [editline]10th June 2017[/editline] They don't sound like they're Era restricted though, so you might be able to use the E-11 with Droids or something.

I like how the heavy trooper's combat shields are bigger versions of the mando wrist shields. [T]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e5/5a/d6/e55ad645ddc7803cf1a0f248813ed2ab.jpg[/T]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52338752]How can you tell? Every clone sounds the same.[/QUOTE] There are slight diferences in the more pronounced Clone characters. And he uses Rex's slang. I'm not 100% certain but if I find a clip that refers to droids as "clankers" I will be.

[QUOTE=usaokay;52338766]Tiny bit miffed that the heroes aren't stuck in their appropriate eras, but it does give everyone a chance to try them out.[/QUOTE] It's probably just because the only era appropriate hero available was Maul. Both Han Solo and Boba Fett are slightly reworked Battlefront heroes. [editline]11th June 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Tuskin;52338767]Clankers is common slang among clones. [/QUOTE] Yes, but the only high ranking clone who uses the slang is Rex.

[QUOTE=usaokay;52338783]IIRC someone in Reddit said that there was a Battlefront II survey regarding if people gave a crap about heroes not being in era appropriate maps. No one evidently cared. Maybe it might be changed in the final product, so we'll see. Also, none of yall mentioned that Finn and Phasma (and a Last Jedi map) will be FREE DLC around the holidays.[/QUOTE] All future DLC is going to be free, not just that. [editline]10th June 2017[/editline] How the score/points system works in BF2: [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/6gi7um/how_the_new_battlefront_2s_battlepoint_system/[/url] [QUOTE]You get Battlepoints for doing almost everything, for healing your teammates, for getting assists, for playing the objective, and for killing people as well. Battlepoints don't reset upon death, they keep stacking up. Vehicles and air-craft cost from 500 to 1000 Battlepoints, clone jumptroopers (sort of like "lite" heroes) cost 2000 Battlepoints, while heroes cost 5000 Battlepoints, you get to choose whether or not you want to keep calling-in vehicles and air-craft or take your time until you save enough Battlepoints to get a hero. You can keep earning Battlepoints while you're in a vehicle, or air craft, or a jumptrooper but you won't be able to earn them while playing as a hero. So essentially in other words, Battlepoints is another word to say "Scorestreaks" but they don't reset, and everyone will eventually be able to call heroes even if they're super bad the game, which is a good thing IMO. This is a system that rewards everyone and rightfully so, more than the random rotating heroes in the original Battlefronts and more than the token system in Battlefront 2015 IMO, excellent players will most likely be able to earn 5000 Battlepoints in a short period of time and they'll be able to call their heroes which is very rewarding, while bad players won't get to randomly get rotated to be a hero by the computer or by being lucky enough to pick up a token, they'll get their heroes eventually if they don't spend their Battlepoints on anything else.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=usaokay;52338815]I do want them to sell cosmetics for the heroes. It was a missed opportunity to have X-Wing pilot Luke or ANH Han Solo in the first game.[/QUOTE] They'll probably be in the crates mentioned on the website.

I'm actually pretty excited for the new Battlefront. It really looks like they're going for fun factor this time. Lot of original Battlefront 2 vibes. And the DLC is going to be free. Woop

Yeah my brother told me he watched the gameplay and he said it looked like the old games and that's honestly the best compliment any one can say.

For instance, the Battle Droid E-5 is exclusive to the Battle Droid, but you can use the CR-5 with any unit of the Assault class.

I said that, read my post again
