LINEAR GAMEPLAY

Hello All,

I want to love this game, but it is far too linear and controlled to be enjoyable past 10 hours of play time - it is fair to repetitive.

Because the game modes are linear, and direct you where to go and what to do, it makes the gameplay extremely repetitive and boring. Battlefront needs to take a page out of Battlefields book, and make more 'free will' in what the player wants to do during a game. The first step in doing this is to bring in a 'Conquest' game mode, where squads and players have a choice about how they are going to attack or defend an objective, and aren't 'babysat' through the whole game.

EA please respond

  • Hello @GoldEagle74

    Yes I do agree with you, the main gamemode of the game is far too linear. I myself am tired of walking the exact same routes on the maps. 

    On the positive side, the developers have confirmed that a new non-linear gamemode is in the making and will arive in Februari of 2019. This new gamemode will focus on capturing command posts and blowing up capital ships.

    That sounds pretty good to me, but I am really afraid they will only add 1 or 2 maps to that new mode, just as with extraction. IMO, the community should push more to get much more maps in that rotation. Just as extraction, the mode is great but with only 2 maps it really gets boring after a while.

    Be sure to express your opinion online on the different platforms so the devs can take note.

  • ATTEs could have been a great change a give player an option to cooperate, it could have been a spawn point for troops and it could have been controlled by more than one player. This mode is just forcing you to go one way in general, not just ATTE. I am glad you pointed that out guys...

    that is great that they have an update in february. however, from observation of the road-map, i still want more choice within the gameplay. what other forums do you suggest posting on?
  • Talked about several times throughout the year, Online galactic conquest like the original battlefront 2, faction based, and a wave/horde mode.
