Star Wars Battlefront 2

[jofus 2266]

Noticed this is on sale for $24 on Xbox. Worth picking up now that the loot crate dust has settled?

[Bigbend1812 12915]

Didn’t they unlock all the characters now? 

[hornfan785 556]

Yep, they just released an update where they unlocked all the heroes for everyone. The lootboxes have returned that you can buy with real money, however now the only rewards are cosmetics and credits. I haven't played it in a couple months, but I plan on jumping back on soon.

[jofus 2266]

cool, i'll pick it up.  

[Hurtlocker 2212]

I held off on buying it due to all their microtransactions.  I didn't feel like getting lit up by a shitty 12 year old whose dad bought them advantages.   I have a hard enough time getting lit up by 12 year olds without advantages.   

Have they changed this?

I don’t think this was actually part of the game upon release. It was rumored, but they pulled it out.

[RexWilson 1347]

I bought it at release and still play it. The crates were never an issue for me.

I think I'll get in on this. Despite how much everyone said the other Battlefront sucked, I really liked the multiplayer. I know there were server issues when the game dropped, I'm assuming all of that is worked out now?

[DeepEastTexas 640]

How is the single player component?

[pacman 7355]

Picked it up for the boy as an Easter gift for him, or me.

Glad campaign is back. It's fun. I might let him player this afternoon.

Single player was alright, neat to see some new worlds we've never seen before, and cool to play the Heroes, but doesn't make up for the bad multiplayer.

[DeepEastTexas 640]

I'll pick it up at a discounted rate and try it out.

[jofus 2266]

really like the campaign so far.  easily worth the $24.

felt like a derp in the starfighters initially, but got it helped a lot when i disabled roll.

I’ve been playing for a bit and enjoying it, but took a break to learn some Fort Nite. What does it mean to disable roll? It won’t let you full barrel roll even if you try?

[jofus 2266]

Yes, it makes the left thumb stick throttle only. I may turn it back on later on, but right now I’m on training wheels. 

[hornfan785 556]

They're releasing a new game mode called Ewok Hunt. It's basically infection from Halo, except the infected are ewoks and the "humans" are stormtroopers. Definitely going to have to play it when it comes out on the 18th. https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/battlefront/battlefront-2/news/night-on-endor-update

[jofus 2266]

That’s sounds fun and hilarious. 

[MillerEP 30455]

EA Press Conference admits they fucked up Battlefront 2, so they're revamping the multiplayer. They'll release some Solo Content and Ewoks, and next season will be the Clone Wars with Obi Wan and General Grevious as playable Hero characters. 

[hornfan785 556]

This game is now on EA Access.

[Pibald 18]

I’m still playing this. Gen. Grievous is awesome, and I’m trying to get a handle on how to use Obi-Wan. I’m still enjoying this game and appreciate all of the new content. 

[hornfan785 556]

I need to jump back in on this game. Last time I played was when they released Ewok Hunt.

Free for a short while.

Well, the Celebration Edition is free.
