Star Wars Battlefront 2
- Thread starter Neo-ST
- Start date
And I just want a new Bad Company.
Ooh, let's combine - Bad Company 2142.
A BF2142 game with a good single player campaign and fun characters. And no microtransactions and lootboxes.

You may agree or not with his views but the guy has an irresistible mix of entertainment & info. I loled a lot. Worth a watch indeed.

When it comes to game reviews Joe is a champion. However his movie reviews are awful, He's just a talking head.
I visit his channel alot less now because most of his content now are movie reviews. I didnt join the hate bandwagon a few months ago but Joe really should just stick to gaming.
His game reviews are world class.
Who in the hell needs loot crates.
Just give me awards!

Loot box and crystals (which have been disabled) aside, I'm quite enjoying the game actually. Especially the Starfighter mode. It's too bad EA suits did such damage to the game's reputation right out of the gate. Many people will choose to avoid what is actually a pretty fun game because of it.
I heard that credits earned per round are practically the same for winners and losers and people have been wrapping rubber bands around controllers just to harvest round credit while AFK, rather than play the game with its terrible level system.
I think thats pretty funny.
Predictable, that's why they outright put a cap on cred earnings in of the modes.
I bought it. But I won't be buying any of the loot crates. I don't object to someone selling me more content for a game (as in a season), but selling me the opportunity to play a casino-style game to get an unfair advantage over other players? No, thanks. It could be argued that any weapon or skill upgrade (like the traits in the first game, or engineered weapons in Elite) confer an advantage, but it can be earned in the game. You can't just chequebook your way to victory. The main reason I object to this is that you'll find that it'll become increasingly difficult to play the game without "earning" these upgrades, so you'll be forced to keep paying for upgrades in order to enjoy the content you've already paid for. Effectively, EA will be marketing their own hacks to their own game. Lovely. Which you may, or may not, get by paying money to find out if you will....
But. Never mind all that. The game itself is a balls-up. It constantly (CONSTANTLY!) stutters and sticks, even on decent hardware. The flipping hacking is rife, and getting worse (which at least means EA are not the only shop in town in this regard). It's a mess from a technical perspective, lootboxes or no. Bizarrely, the first game was actually the better experience. All they needed to do was maybe polish the graphics, make the environments more destructible and interactive, introduce the class system, and add same maps, maybe some more game modes and bot soldiers to make up numbers when matchmaking fails. That's all it needed.

That is tragic. LOL

I would pay for pink Vader, crazy pained Sidewinder, or for some extra fins on my T-Fighter! SW has a potential for absolute nut design! EA is so up their bottoms they dont see that we would actually pay for those stuff and be happy about it. But no, they prefer rabid pay to win method that got them in temporary trouble. (And I say temporary because the loot crate will creep back dont you be worry). You can make money off cosmetics you corporate heads! And it wont cause this much uproar!

So EA lack the imagination to provide cosmetic items for generic characters and are locked in on iconic costumes because of cannon, So this means its very hard to make money from microtransactions on a starwars game that was guarenteed to be a success. So in order to farm that microtransaction cheddar they needed another idea to gouge players... and went with pay2win.
How about..... NO microtransactions EA! and release an honest and respectful title which everyone would love and it still be a major success because its starwars and its battlefront.
I played the hell out of battlefield 3.... GOD i loved that game. I was happy to buy the new map packs and DLC's. That would have worked fine on battelfront 2.
But if EA honestly wanted Cosmetic cheddar then they could of created some characters for the multiplayer just for the game and make multiple costumes for them or give players the ability to create a custom character and dress them up.

Thats the sad reality, the only reason EA is backing out its because they got caught.
