For being my favourite mode in the first game I was excited that it would be returning in this game, yet the iteration in this game is beyond terrible,lightsaber wielders are way more powerful than any of the blaster wielders,lightsabers stun you when they hit meaning once you’ve been hit once you cant escapeThe match is filled with excessive crowd control, being flung around like some rag doll, first being pulled then pushed then choked then mind tricked and then that all over again because the cooldowns are so lowMaps are biased toward force users with massive gaps in the map causing instakills just from being crowd controlled of an edgeThe objective is nonsensical, nobody cares about focusing down one specific hero they just want to kill anything meaning your team won’t even help defend you and instead all 3 run off to kill a bloody yoda who isnt even the target leaving you to dieWhy do lightsabers go through idens shield they shouldnt penetrate them, you dont see jedi running round stabbing droidekas through their shield what bsThis mode needs seveal changes before it even becomes fun and playable because at the moment this is no the mode i remember from the previous game, far from it

I disagree on the no fun factor, I enjoy this mode. The only problem is the lightsaber stun, it's ridiculous that you can lose 3/4 of your health before you can even move again, if it's 2v1, just set down the controller. They stun when they reach you and all but 1 can reflect your shots back at you, then they can jump into areas only they and Fett can reach. It's insane at the advantage they have. If the blasters don't stun, why do lightsabers? There is already a roll cooldown to prevent blaster users from avoiding them forever and it's super long too.The game mode is fine, people not protecting the target are just idiots. They want to get their 500 kills or whatever so they go run off like lemmings and die 50 times because THEY can. I've had games where I was solo vs 3 heroes, one the target, and my team was nowhere around. When I got back, they STILL weren't there. It's like killing the target would give them some sort of disease pinacilin can't cure. Not the modes fault, your teams fault. Go in with a friend and pair up, or play a support hero, usually 1 other will stay bearish to you.TLDR: mode is fine, people are stupid, stop letting lightsabers stun you to death.

The lightsaber stuns are a great equalizer between lightsaber characters and blaster characters. Most of the players, who figured out the mechanics of this game play blaster heroes with well timed rolls and shooting, occasionally using an ability to blast a hero. Lightsaber stuns can be avoided by properly timing them. Do not always roll away from the target, but towards it. Lightsabers will miss you completely if timed right.All the games are about learning, learn the mechanics and improve it through routine. It is challenging and the more you have to master, the more fun it will be. Some players have more skills than others, that is just how it works in the world... so why would the world slow down to your pace? The fact is you have to improve, learn a new skill, accept the challenge and not fold. If everything would be handed to you, you would soon feel like Saitama in One punch man, empty, without a meaning... having no challenges sucks.The most boring games are those, where you win every round, winning easy is boring... what you should cry for is balancing system based on personal ranking and a ranking based on a time period, so if you return after a long time with basically no skill, the game would not match you as an elite player.There is trully only one downside to this mode, and that is, when you are on the loosing team, you will spawn all over the map and when you actually get to your teammates, the winning team can ambush you 4 to 1. This is something EA should look into besides the matchmaking system.

Agreed that it is more of a team mode. People that have been playing awhile have figured it out. Only thing that irks me is the spawn points are so far away from the battle. If everyone is playing as a team.and one person dies, the other team not has a HUGE advantage and can mop up the remainders. After spawn it is CRITICAL that you find your team before engaging in another battle.

I thought that was a perk of Heroes vs Villains in the previous game. I got pretty good at killing heroes as an infantry solider. I honestly really miss the old Heroes vs Villains. The new version in BF2 is so awful– I hate it so much I don't even like playing it anymore.Is there anyway to bring this mode back? The way it was revised for BF2 isn't fun, and like the user above said, there's no benefit to defending the other heroes. At least once you died and respawned as an infantry soldier, there was a chance to spawn as one of the sith lord's soldiers who were slightly more powerful. Really disappointed in the new version of Heroes vs villains.

So interesting the different opinions. I really like the new HvV, compared to the old game. I get to be a hero 100% of the time, and none of the stupid timing out of round after round because people aren't playing the objectives. I like the pace of the game, and the targeting. If you get a team that cooperates by hanging out together, you can be unstoppable, especially if you are playing against a team that has no idea how to team play.

Obviously the targeting system is a dumb mistake. Plus this mode is just filled with people who only play this mode and basically scares everyone out of it. Many people just stay away from it.

Never liked the mode....no depth, and as said it becomes a hack n slash. To me hero showdown is better when you have quality players

The mode is not only terrible, but it is almost unplayable. Every game is just one team roflstomping the other. Which basically means zero effort was put into balancing the mode, heroes or maps.

Spoiler

I understand ur frustration. Getting constantly flung across the map in annoying. But think about it. You, a blaster hero, against a force user with a lightsaber. It's not going to work out. hers why.
1. They have the force, you don't.
2. They have a lightsaber. I see people complain about how its all R2R2R2 aginst blaster heroes. but it should be. You don't need the skill to hit someone with a lightsaber that doesn't have one. It's like hitting someone with a bat. Is there skill involved with that? no. The same thing is involved here.
3. There are more powerful than your character.
4. I'm biased because i only play saber and starfighter modes.
