Battlefront 2: The Last Jedi Season Trailer Will Give You Goosebumps
December 13th is the release date for the new Battlefront 2 DLC with Finn joining the fight. Watch the new trailer and be prepared for some new and old characters joining the fight on CRAIT.
Aside from the controversy around the unresolved reward system, the solo campaign was great fun. Let’s see how the Crait battlefront expands the game and how the solo campaign around Iden Versio plays out.
One week to go until The Last Jedi hits theaters!
Controversy aside, there’s a really great game in there. Galactic Assault is simply awesome. The Last Jedi DLC being released right before the movie is a nice touch.
A part of me wants to say the communities collective hate for lootboxes just reached a boiling point and Battlefront 2 was the victim of it. That being said… without the controversy DICE/EA wouldn’t have made the changes they have. So the game is better for it.
It’s really a great game. The RNG Star Cards aren’t as important as people make them out to be. I’m always either top 5 or MVP and I only started buying cards after I obtained all the heroes.
I’m only missing 2 achievements and just over 100 hours played. Just buy the cheapest box and you’ll get enough crafting parts to make any card you want. Even easier with the increased cash rewards.
Whew… end defensive rant. Like I said though… it wouldn’t have changed without the outcry.
I agree.
My only concern is what this will mean for future support and DLCs. Will EA now ramp this down if micro-transactions do not return? I was hoping the product lifespan would be 2-3 years, but if support is ramped down then I fear it could be cut short. I dunno. Maybe the season pass model wasn’t so bad after all.
Yeah, that sounds pretty much my strategy. I always buy the Hero loot crates for the crafting parts. My Enforcer’s are currently level 19 (all star cards are epic), and I’m very close to getting my primary class (Assault) all upgraded to epic (just the final star card to upgrade). Haven’t unlocked any of the locked heroes yet. I actually prefer my Wookie Warrior to the light side heroes. The damage my upgraded grenade deals out is incredible.
That’s what I like about this game. The learning curve. Takes a while to truly understand let alone master some of the mechanics. I didn’t expect that to be honest. Plus not all heroes are the best choice for the given situation.
And you can still have moments of being totally shut down as a hero lol.
Every time I play it I discover better places to ambush the enemy, and my tactics evolve.
Absolutely. The key to this game is creative attacks. Flanking can turn the tide of most battles and clear points. Get a good vantage of the point… and help your team hold an aggressive position and you’ve got it. The hard part is convincing your team to be aggressive. Sometimes you just have to push. Not keep tip toeing in the choke points.
What would be fair if the DLC was more heros to play as and new weapons etc. Have the maps be free so everyone can play together but if you really want to play as Mace Windu you have to pay. It still has value to the player but it isn’t something that can give them a competitive advantage.
That’s sounds a good option. Cosmetic upgrades only to be payable.
Just buy. Just buy. But the right to power up.
I disagree. I played for a week and it’s just not that fun. I enjoy the starfighter combat, but not much else.
Sorry to hear that.
It’s fine. I am happy I won it from this website!
The game itself is not a bad game IMO. But the controversy over the loot boxes is warranted, and this alone dampens the experience for me. I’ve not played it all week and haven’t had a drive to really. It’s fun while playing, but I just don’t want to grind for boxes and heroes. I prefer when games challenge you to complete a specific task to unlock something of real value. Not just play, play, play the same stuff over and over. It is a fun game though at it’s core I think. Just all the riff raff surrounding it bogs down the fun for me.
I just don’t enjoy that style of shooter, to be honest. Spawn, run forever, die, spawn, repeat. The grind is pretty awful and there isn’t enough variety in it for me.
Starfighter combat?! Oh, we used to dream of playin’ starfighter combat! Would ha’ been a all the game modes in ta world to us offline peons. We used to play nothin’ but endless 10v10 deathmatches on an old rusty console. We’d play 5 minutes on one of four small maps, uphill in the snow both ways, and have the match end by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! “Starfighter combat”? Huh. LUXURY!
It is fun. I loved the campaign. The only thing that needs to happen is they need to fix the progression system. More customizations.
I hope a lot more of that is on its way.
Rumor is massive changes late spring, including adding all online-only content (you know, otherwise known as “98% of the game”) to offline and offline co-op.
Pretty much does away with the she’s Rey mom theory.
I can’t believe people even thought that.
thank goodness
Nope..no goosebumps!
This might be the thing that gets to buy the game. I really don’t want to give into EA terrible anti-consumer practices though. But man this looks really cool.
It is cool. And yes it does suck supporting EA. I do love Dice though.
“… it does suck supporting EA.”
Then don’t support EA.
Only Sith and liberals deal in absolutes.
Here’s the thing:
DICE made the game, LFL and Disney approved it. they are all complicit.
I heard Finns special ability is over acting. He just starts saying, “do you have a boyfriend, a cute boyfriend” rapid fire, and it causes opponents to cringe and then you finish them off with a “droid please” melee attack. Supposed to be really op.
Yeah, he was funny. Good times.
It’s cute when people can’t tell the difference between ‘acting’ and ‘writing’.
Or how about bad acting and bad writing. What a concept huh?
Except Boyega is fine. There’s absolutely nothing in his performance that’s a problem. Nothing. And this is coming from someone who didn’t care for TFA, and thought both Finn and Rey (in particular, though not exclusively) were terribly written. Boyega, with what he’s given, is charming and fun. The writing sucks eggs however on both individual scene and overall character motivation levels.
I just have this thing about the actor not actually look like they are acting.
I heard your special ability is repeating the same tired complaint in post after post in articles that do not pertain to John Boyega or his acting.
And then people making fun of you for it.
I mean, if Cranky slammed you, you’re definitely in the wrong.
Who the fuck is Cranky?
This comment doesn’t surprise me at all.
Awesome! SO cool that they’re addressing the near universal uproar of the state of offline play!!!* Totally makes the game worth playing again!**

*They are not doing this.
**It does not.
Welcome to 2017. And again, it’s an online multiplayer team shooter.
Not a single player game.
So Versio goes rebel?
It might’ve given me goosebumps if I hadn’t already played the game and found it merely OK if you ignore the awful progression system. It’s outright terrible if you take the loot box garbage into account though.
EA knows how to make cool trailers, I’ll give them that much.
I did enjoy the story mode, though WAY too short, and the space battles are epic! However, the Death Star eclipsing this game is the progression system and loot boxes, which news is saying may end up being removed by EA. I’m waiting to see someone find a way to hack the game and tear all the walls down. You can bet someone is already on it…not that I would support such activities 🙂
Don’t understand why they have to over-complicate the progression. I don’t even like Battlefield 1 progression. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was perfection.
very empire strikes backish
