I just want a classic "large map, go capture control points" mode like the original had and Battlefield still has. Supremacy is only half-way like it.

Other than having playable heroes and being able to play as a stormtrooper in a location inspired by the Star Wars movies, not really. Even the basic gunplay is fundamentally different (the original games were ammo based as opposed to temperature, which is a change I actually liked), let alone the rest of the game from a basic game design doc standpoint.

The gunplay is what matters the most. DICE better not fuck with it for SWBF2.
It's been nerfed. You weren't there during the early days when that gun was on a complete genocide.
I prefer the DT-12 over it since it got nerfed.

I played at launch, but then took a long break until this past week.
Playing Twilight on Hoth, in the ice cave corridors, the DL-44 is like a two shot kill. It's a little ridiculous.

The DL-18 is my favorite blaster pistol.

Huge map with control points, vehicles actually on the map + way more vehicles.
Even the Y-Wings better be parked on a map and player controlled.
Since the DL-44 nerf, I only ever use the DH-17 on small maps and the E-11 on big maps (unless another blaster is required for a Hutt contract or achievement).
I guess it depends how you play the game, but they just seem like the best all-around weapons in any situation. Also, I can only do fully automatic. My old man reflexes are too slow to not just hold down a button.
I'd also just like to say that this game is pure fun and I legitimately feel sorry for all the people who completely dismissed it for not being like the old games or "Battlefield with a Star Wars skin" (which it obviously is not). It's been over a year, and I still play this all the time and I generally avoid multiplayer shooters.
Possibly in my top-ten favorite games of all time.

Ever since R1 dlc landed i see more and more ppl using the EE-3. Was it buffed?
Also A180 rifle mode is OP as fuck.

Haha, I was just playing Battlefront II (I know that's the first battlefront, tho).
Clone wars was insane
It's likely that they won't but I hope we get to see the Clone War era again soon. With DICE's visuals it would be amazing.

I am not sure but every time I get killed by the EE-3 it's very "sudden".
Like oh man I think I'm getting shot at OH NOW IM DEAD
The A180 rifle mode is ridiculous, it lasts like 7 seconds and the thing can't overheat, you can clear out entire rooms with it. Thank god they don't let you pair it with explosive shots.

After seeing Rogue One a second time i'd like some better customization as well,
Make my Rebel look like one of Saw's people.

Tried the Scarif maps in Battlefront the other day after seeing Rouge One. Anyone else feel like these are really lazy maps slapped together to cash in on Rouge One releasing? The maps I did play were just insanely dense jungle with foliage everywhere. It seemed like they were only shown some images of the film and told to make up the premise and gametype, it doesn't fit the plot of the film at all.
At the point of when they made this DLC, the game was being run by a skeleton crew of 10+, so yeah, not that surprising.
It's by far the worst expansion, and the least fitting.

I think parts of the Scarif gameplay were based on earlier scenes from Rogue One that got cut, like the dash with the plans seen in trailers but not in the movie itself. With development lead times and all that, I dont blame them for stuff like that.
Overall though I still agree that this DLC does not seem all that well developed. Feels more novelty than meaningful.
One thing I noticed some months ago was that the final Battlefront DLC was originally scheduled for early 2017. It was clearly always going to be Rogue One, but wasn't going to have a release date tied to the movie. And then Disney cancelled Disney Infinity, which was supposed to have a Star Wars set in 2016. A set which was to be Rogue One. Ergo, the DI set was going to be like the TFA set last year, released day and date with the movie as the video game tie in, and Battlefront was going to do it's take later and then OH LOOK, Battlefront final DLC moved up to December 2016.
So yeah, I think the devs suddenly had their development timeline rushed by Disney Infinity's cancellation (STILL BITTER BY THE WAY! VERY VERY BITTER), which meant rushed assets and no access to the final visuals.
This isn't Battlefield 1.

Freddie Prince Jr (yes, that Freddie Prince Jr) is currently streaming Battlefront on Twitch XD He's just shooting the shit with chat and talking about Star Wars: Rebels, it's pretty fun.

The T-21 still is better at range.

Meh I'd rather use the t-21b personally. I forgot the t-21 was considered a heavy blaster though tbh, I was comparing the tl-50 to the rt-7c and the dlt-19. Makes both of them obsolete.
For what it's worth I don't think the ar-180 is overpowered though, yeah rifle mode is nice but the long cooldown combined with not having any star cards... I'd rather use the tl-50, e11 or t-21b

I tend to use the CJ-9 now, before that the TL-50, for enclosed areas the EE-4 but I still like using the A280C.

One of my complaints is in the big 40 man modes, I can go days of continuous playing without getting a hero pickup. How could the developers make it so everyone has better chances of getting to try out these characters?
Psychoward
Banned
Make it so the pickups aren't small as shit without any notifications of where they are. The funniest thing is hero pickups were intended to get people who are bad at the game a chance to play them, but all it did was give the experienced players the ability to camp them because they're the only ones who know where they are.
This complaint isn't really exclusive to Battlefront but to all DICE games. I really want BF2 to have a proper party system similar to Call of Duty or Halo with little complications to it. I want to be able to easily see who's in my party, I want my friends to be in the searching for game menu with me & not have to push any extra buttons or whatever and go into the game without any difficulty.
I have no idea if this was ever improved because none of my friends still play this and one of the reasons was the complicated party system.

Shame you missed it pre-nerf. It was a beauty.
Without good secondary fire I prefer the DH-17 blaster pistol to any heavy blaster, but I know it can't do any range.

People now are still trying to get the Director Orson Krennic and Jyn Erso Contracts so people are holding on to the hero's as long as they can and in Scarif the Hero's don't seem to spawn very often, the Bespin Cloud City Walker Assault mode, Sabotage at the Administrator's Palace and Carbonite Freezing Chambers seem to be where the hero's spawn the most often in full gameplay other than the Hero modes.
I have to say that after watching Rogue One at the cinema the other day, the Scarif DLC is pretty spot on, I wish that we could have had Chirrut Îmwe as a hero or even better a skin for the Rebels seeing as there is no Rebel skin for level 100
Razgriz-Specter

Thisor even better a skin for the Rebels seeing as there is no Rebel skin for level 100
Give them to me.
Saw's faction skins
Blue squadron flightsuit
Scarif Rebel skin on other maps
And for the Empire

I agree there should be better skins, the Shoretroopers are not different enough from the regular Stormtroopers so the Imperial ground crew outfit may have better than even the Deathtrooper?
The only issue with Chirrut Îmwe outfit would be that maybe he could be considered a Hero I suppose, and with the Jyn Erso type outfit that could I suppose be confused if used with a female head and end up looking like Jyn Erso.
I would have thought they DICE/EA would have thought about this though.
But how many level 100 players are there?
Would Chirrut Îmwe's cloak look too much out of place?
Razgriz-Specter
Member
It wouldn't really matter if they looked like Jyn unless they give that outfit to her on other maps.
It works in a similar way to Luke and Leia's Endor ponchos style wise but look different enough that it wouldn't confuse people.

I've grown to absolutely love this game, but damn...these loading times are atrocious.
Have they ever addressed why they're so bad?

Gotten worse as time went on imo.
I really hope we get an influx of in-game events this year leading up to Battlefront 2. I know it's a small team but just a few more double exp events here in there would be really nice.
Also like 1 more big update with things like B-Wings, Y Wings, Defenders, Bombers flyable, Han, Luke, and Leia ANH skins, more unlockable skins, add more support to Skirmish, HvV Blast, DLC support in Missions, new achievements, and fixes to bugs and performance. A lot to ask. Probably won't happen and I know some of these things have been scrapped, but man a guy can dream.

I think at this point the 10 or so people they had left working on this game have been absorbed into Battlefront 2.
