PLEASE COMPLETE BATTLEFRONT II AFTER ALL!

I know that BF II support has ended. Nevertheless, that can't mean that the game remains unfinished where it apparently wasn't completed correctly, can it?

How do I get that? Well, with every new map came new heroes / villains. Anyone who knows BF I knows that the last map from BF II - Scarif - Krennic and Erso belong. They are missing! And I don't just mean that they weren't released by EA, they really are missing because it would be illogical to just release this one single new map without the appropriate heroes / villains! Why doing an exception only in that special case!

In addition, Scarif is simply missing in offline mode. Again: the only map that's missing.

It is as if the creative team was withdrawn from the work before it could complete its work. Please complete it!

  • I agree on this one,

    The game needs to be finished first, in my opinion, before making a third title for the Battlefront franchise.

    That being said, we need the following:

    -heroes

    -instant action game modes and improvements for last gen consoles(heroes vs villains, cross era heroes, playlists)

    -maps

    -skins

    -private matches

    -First order Jet Trooper on instant action

    -Loadouts

    -cross-play support

    -etc.

    Finally, two patches for the game should be made: one for the next gen console to enable an increase of number of bots and split screen and the other one, to fix some bugs for the game.

  • This game is a shadow of 2015

    Sad to think it's supposed to be the latest one

  • @google1701That's exactly what happened. EA pulled the devs plug so that Scarif update was essentially a race against the clock for them.

    The OT trilogy supremacy mode is the only one without a Dreadnought phase. You're right to say that it appears unfitting that the Scarif map was just thrown into the game without any further context.

    Grievous' claw rush was probably only released in that state because they didn't have the time to test and find out anymore.

    Plus a lot of bugs that still need to be adressed. Even if the support just continues to fix bugs, time and money is needed for that as well.

    Let's look at when and how the celebration edition was released, in that light it just appears like a final try to monetize the game again for a bit, in a manner of damage reduction. Essentially all these free updates like a measure to reestablish a positive image of the game, the devs and EA. Then EA itself realized that in a financial way this doesn't really offer much for them on the long run. Think about it, no monetization in form of purchasable DLCs, all free update, the celebration edition being the only exception.

    Mind the update after Scarif. A very small one, but it fixed a block bug of Maul as well as the claw rush if GG.

    It improved the gameplay, but it was basically a voluntary work of one of the devs by what he can do with his own hands.

    Idk exactly if he received any salary/tip for that work, but I doubt it.

  • Sad. It is like with movies. There are the creative ones on the one hand and the people with money (interest) on the other hand. Because they do not come together to listen and talk, we get what we get... or better: we DO NOT get, what we want!

    After all it wouldn´t be any problem to just put "Scarif" into the Instant Action / Arcade, would it?

    @google1701Could be possible to do with mods, same for these campaign maps like Vardos, Pillio etc. that were unfortunately never re-used again for any further purpose.
