Re: [Updated] Offline is the future for Star Wars Battlefront 2

By no means do I think the game is *. Like I said throughout, I actually LOVE the game. Its just that I think it should shift its focus from online multiplayer over to offline, or at LEAST make them equal by giving offline all modes and maps. This ways the game can be cherished for a much longer time by fans of star wars or just the game. I'm sorry if my rant was misleading or made me seem hateful. Maybe it was use of those capitalized words 😉

Also, is there a cap on arcade credits now?
It says I have to wait 3 hours. This is after the recent update.

I totally agree with the OP and could not say it better myself. And we havent got any offline starfighter. However if you recall offline is what everyone requested from after BF1 and what thay gave us in BF2 was .......loot crates. The OP points out that offline gaming means that you can return to a game over again for many years to come. I refer you to EA coments when shutting down Vicerals single players star wars game which we all wanted so badly, EA said "they looked at the market" and "wanted to make a game people will keep returning to". For EA this means multiplayer and loot boxes. When we say return to PLAY they hear return to PAY.

Haha, that last line was pretty good! And yeah, I saw that comment. To me it seems like they would actually be better off by making a single player game like that. I mean look at the success of 'The Last of Us'. I think reputation for a good game counts, and would add up more sales overtime than anything. Just look at the decline of sales in the new battlefront.

For me, battlefront is a roleplaying game more than anything. You can tell EA knows this just by playing the game, but I fear that the online focus is stripping that away. Its lost its uniqueness.

Imagine the dramatic sales boost if the next game was offline oriented:

• original battlefront fans would absolutely praise the game, therefore recommending it and also regaining many lost fans.

• there would be news articles everywhere over the internet talking of the big changes and how fans are so pleased spreading good news of the game everywhere.

• the game would be accessible for people with no internet or just bad, laggy internet- heaps more customers available.

• the sequel would increase in sales rather than decrease.

• casual players or people who just can't master the game wouldn't complain about dying all the time therefore they could actually enjoy the game and want more.

•you could focus your development money on more maps and whatnot rather than online problems like balancing. This would therefore make for a larger feeling game- people would feel there hard earned money spent on it was worth it.

I'm sure there are more things, but to me, that seems enough.

I agree 100%. You said it perfectly. I just want to experience the wonder and greatness of Star Wars on the battlefield where I am the hero. So EA and DICE please give us an offline mode. Please!
