Star Wars Battlefront

My dad and I agree. The A-Wing needs serious rebalancing. It may be screen accurate but that is, in a way, a serious problem.

It needs to have weaker blasters and armor, but just as well needs to be faster than the X-Wing and twice as agile. The same could be said for the interceptor- but different. That thing needs higher firepower, but weaker armor, and needs to be *the* most agile thing.

Because nobody in their right mind picks the larger-hitbox X-Wing or TIE Fighter.

Finally, we need our bombers and hyperfighters. Give us Y-Wings and TIE Bombers, then give us B-Wings and TIE Defenders.

Or hell just give us the Y-Wings and TIE Bombers just, come on DICE please.

 

 

I actually seem to do better in the Tie Fighter than I do the interceptor. Maybe its because if you see an Interceptor you know its player controlled. I find I can survive a bit more in a standard Tie.

 

I bet we see B-wings and Bombers in future DLCs. What I'd really like to see is hero fighters. Vader in his Tie Advanced, Wedge in an X-wing, etc.

My biggest problem with the game is the lack of Aussie/Kiwi players at 6:30 in the morning. It's the only time I can really play yet cannot get into a single game. Sitting in a lobby watching the player count sway between 3 and 10 isn't best ever.

C'mon Australia! C'mon New Zealand! Wake up, pick your controllers and .. do stuff!

 

It would be nice though if they showed haw many players were on the servers so we could .. you know the rest.

I think we get Battle of Jakku today too. New maps for 'free'.

[DariusAPB 6,925]

Tommorrow I thought?

[Jo Jo 4,808]

Tommorrow I thought?

 

 

I think its already tomorrow for him.

[Dagonet 7,246]

Ooh, that's right, have to get that tomorrow morning, though I won't be able to play till thursday I think. 

Maybe I can squeeze in a game tomorrow morning, doubt it though.

[DariusAPB 6,925]

I hope to get a game or two in tonight but i kinda doubt it. On call at work this week.

Turning Point is fun.

 

I caught myself staring at the sky a couple times.

I'm in NZ. But you'll never catch me at 6.30am! Late week nights or Weekends.

 

I haven't had a chance to play much at all, but when I do get to play I usually jump into Fighter mode. Atleast I have a chance of scoring some kills there.

There's a bug on the Turning Point map. If you leave the edge of the map you only get 2 seconds to return, not the 10 it starts counting down.

Must be in certain areas. I remember jetpacking out of bounds and being able to return without issue. It had to have been more than 2 seconds.

 

I am really loving Turning Point. Its easily the best mode so far at least for the 40 player modes. Its got the best balance of the 3. Its easy for the rebels at the start then gets exponentially harder with each line they must take. I also like the Jakku map itself. Its a good mix of long range infantry combat with close range sections. I really don't miss the heros at all. In fact its a bit refreshing not having them in this game mode. The Jakku map is simply stunning. I caught myself multiple times just staring at the sky. Its really incredible what they were able to accomplish on this map. I haven't even played Jakku on the other modes, I was having too much fun playing turning point. Now we just need turning point on other maps.

[DariusAPB 6,925]

I've still not gotten to playing it, and suspect I won't until friday night.

GAAAAAAAHHHHH

I'm pissed that I don't have Jakku access.   Pre-ordered like a year ago.   Was the code supposed to be on your receipt?    I wonder if Gamestop can re-print mine?

[Jo Jo 4,808]

I dunno. I pre-ordered through Amazon and they sent me an email with the code. Maybe GS sent you an email? I'd try contacting their customer service.

[Slugrage 5,011]

Walker Assault on the Jakku map is intense. So much cover, and still there's all these little local battles.

 

I'm really liking the Turning Point scenario, but it can get frustrating when matched with a team that's just standing back and sniping, trying to rack up kills. Suddenly, the match is over before the second check point and they're all "WTF?". Derp.

The most fun of that maps seems to be, for me anyways, the last 30 seconds trying to either hold or take the last point. It turns into such a swirling mess of grenades and close-in blaster shots. It's awesome.

I started sweating when I ran off another edge but it gave me the proper countdown. I now wonder which edge it was that killed me quick (twice in a row).

My code was in the box I bought on Day 1. Not sure about soft copies though.  I would contact someone: seller, EA, Dice ...

If it makes you feel better, I could tell you that the maps and game types aren't that good, that it's not a refreshing addition to the original 4 maps and that the giant crashed CR-90 in the map looks rubbish ... but I'd be lying.

[Jo Jo 4,808]

I was about to call you names doodle until I got to the "I'd be lying"

Code will be on the receipt you got when you picked up the game.

Jakku is out?  I wonder how I get it?  Xbox digital download.  Maybe look in the store for it?  Heck, maybe it's already down and I just haven't gotten a chance to play!

 

Turning Point?  Is that a new game mode?  40 players?  I'll like to see it.

[Slugrage 5,011]

I had pre-ordered the PC version through Origin, so the Jakku download just happened automatically for me.

 

And yeah, Turning Point. Played well, it's a super intense battle. Played wrong, and it's over in like 5 minutes. Take and hold, or defend defend. Just don't stand around and try to snipe.

I just tell the xbox to redeem a code and show it the qr code. .

[DariusAPB 6,925]

With xbox digital download just click on jakku and it'll take you to marketplace, hit install.

 

Disappointed that there are no single player modes for this. At all.

Very disappointed.

[Crabbok 9,869]

So I ended up going back to gamestop and having the RE-PRINT my receipt.   I had to manually enter the code in my Xbox and it worked.     The Jakku map is pretty!
