They need to bring back Walker Assault. I hate the Galactic Assault being split into multiple game modes, like walkers here, then go here, etc. There also need to be more game modes personally. I love everything Star Wars, but this game does have a shelf life. You are correct, it doesn't do anything innovative, and after about a month, I'll probably only put it back in for DLC updates. Which can keep things fresh, obviously. I just hate that Galactic Assault is so linear. Everything is straight forward. The enemies will be coming from this direction, and they'll be taking this objective, then that objective. There's no real room for creativity and strategy. It's just kind of mindless. It makes for some good entertainment, but overall I can't see myself playing this game 6 months down the road, let alone a year or two years. I've been playing Rainbow Six: Siege competitively for 2 years now and I'm still not tired of it. That's the sign of a great game. Every round is different, every match is different. And of course we all know EA's business model is to release one game and then immediately abandon it and start working on the next game, so I also have very low hopes about any post-release support for BF2 being adequate. They'll release some (paid) DLC and what not, but I don't have much more expectations than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Doyle Rules Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I hate that they changed heroes vs villains. No reason to just make it 4 on 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the player size will expand as they add more heroes/villains. Right now it kind of makes sense because it makes you selectively pick the heroes you want. If it was like 5v5 or 6v6, there'd be no real strategy to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before it was 4 people get heroes or villains and the rest were normal people. Not it's just 4 heroes vs 4 villians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Doyle Rules Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Even in galatic assault, the 100 body count ends before anyone even gets chance to use one of the heroes or villians. I played 5 straight matches without one person using one. Edited November 21, 2017 by O'Doyle Rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gameplay wise the main knock I have on the game is that droids have zero hitbox and they are ridiculously hard to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to hop on twitch for an afternoon or something and watch some. The reviews are gonna be about what I know about. I hadn't heard a thing about the droids for example. All that stuff is being drowned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that stuff is being drowned out. It's almost impossible to find any gameplay tips or anything on Reddit for this game. 99% of the content is about the usual stuff, or whatever. But yeah Droids are so thin and have almost no hitbox. It's stupid. Another thing is that if you're in Heroes vs. Villains and you have your back turned to a lightsaber person and they start hitting you, you can't retaliate. You just stumble forward repeatedly as they hit you in the back until you die. You can't cast spells, you can't roll, you can't jump, you're helpless. I've also found a bug where if you get "wombo combo'd" by spells, you become glitched out and cannot move until someone hits you with another spell. The last thing I've noticed routinely is that the Heavies have a certain ability where they can have a shield attached to their gun which protects them from incoming shots. Well, that shield doesn't cover their legs but I've often found that the hit detection for this game when a heavy has that shield deployed goes to crap. You'll shoot their legs and nothing happens, you'll shoot them in the side and it registers you hitting the shield, etc. And all of this is just gameplay specifically. I haven't touched on the ridiculously long loading times, the error message you get every single time you quit a game, and other bugs that aren't related to gameplay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KManX89 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The verdict is in, folks: Belgian Gaming Commission (and Hawaii) rule that loot boxes ARE gambling and are pushing for their regulation. EA on suicide watch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KManX89 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Hawaii aren't too happy about them loot boxes, either. State rep Chris Lee is also pushing for their regulation: Quote "This game is a Star Wars-themed online casino designed to lure kids into spending money; it's a trap. This is something we need to address to ensure that particularly kids who are underage, who are not psychologically and emotionally mature enough to be able to gamble - which is why gambling is prohibited under 21 - are protected from being trapped into these cycles which have compelled many folks to spend thousands of dollars in gaming fees online." LOL, how bout them apples, son. All of you who said it's not gambling, at least 3 governments disagree with you. Australia has also joined the club.

The same problem will exist because everyone freaked over the wrong issue. Not to mention go to Google play store. Top advertisement for me was a star wars game. Made by ea..has MTXs..top grossing game right now. Using gambling isn't fixing the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
