We just need another fresh Starwars game for multiple player.
Argue about the details.
We definitely need another title as long as it not like bf2 mechanics, awful as a multiplayer shooter for reasons to long to post imo. It’s a bot game that caters to premades and for the masses that are desperate for anything starwars.
As to the first game the only thing 2 has over 15 is maps and sabers, they should have stuck with 15 and added all the bf2 maps and characters imo. It’s a moot point now so it doesn’t much matter.what we think.
I would like another new game though, but before they do another battlefront they need to decide what battlefront is supposed to be, a shooter, a saber smash up, a rpg, not this one size fits all mess.

@xProdicateremember the Star Wars devs kept listening to a certain Discorder guy and his rants on social media. The guy basically complains about a game, they respond and fix it for him in such a way that the game caters for his faction choice of heroes. This is the end product of his rant and Star Wars Squadrons also suffers from this because he cried loud about the TIE bomber (was the workhorse of the Empire), and now the rebels dominate 2 of the game modes with their OP loadouts, made worse by the crossplay feature.
Each time the dude cries about something, the dev team scrambled to assist him. Other people had better and legit game complaints that were either ignored, not fixed, or taken note off.- 4 years ago
@Edairman198526 Absolutely! The server state is a contributor to the garbo nonsense in BF 2 now but it’s MINOR! It’s legit all the Devs installing awful logic into latter updates.
There was a time when the balance in this game was actually respectable … “that was before the dark times”
- 4 years ago@VetteC5RX I think the mistake was done when they dev team started listening to the wrong crowd.

I remember all to well, we also had a a lot of hero lords on the forums that always complained about anything and everything that basically killed a hero, note I'm talking about sabers. It was the constant nerf this, nerf that, nerf the roll its op, nerf Infantry it’s op, nerf speeders they’re op, nerf Bobba he’s op, Han and his roll is op. Any infantry, weapon, or vehicle that hurt sabers was nerfed or ruined.
It’s funny because most of those guys were the toxic guys that played in large groups vs randoms while taking $h!@. What it comes down to is they basically wanted a zombie game with bots but in a multiplayer that took minimal skill.
So we ended up with lame modes like strike, EH, no private matches, no cargo/dz, awful gunplay with bad ttk along with terrible movement and zero balance, not to mention terrible map design made for spam. It became all about sabers. Give me bf15 anyday, superior game on all aspects as a multiplayer shooter.

@xProdicateI wonder if those saberlords now populate Coop. There's a new breed of player in Coop that I find so often I block about one person per two matches.
LS - defence
1) Spawn in as a heavy,
2) As soon as they get 4k, get Anakin or Kenobi
3a) End the match on the first control point.
3b) Know to let the control points get taken, but sit on the hero for the entire match.
LS - Offense
As above, but with no risk of ending a match prematurely by attacking (spawnpoints) so 'well'.
DS - Defence
1) Spawn in as heavy
2) As soon as 4k reached, get Palpatine, Bossk, or Phasma
3) Camp the AI spawn points (Death Star is particularly bad for this)
4) End match 'prematurely' by defending so 'well'.
DS - Offense
As above.
If I enter a coop now and see a MAX or stupid-high hero, I auto block the player.
Now and again you'll get to play with others who only use standard units or Specials which is a joy. Those matches last forever and without the amount of spam-steal-killing.
I'm not a good enough player - even though I've been playing since launch - to be a total threat as a hero and if I use one, I invaribly die three times. (i'm getting better, though.)
People are free to play the way they want to play, fair enough, but for me it's no fun watching someone slaughter on the BF. If I want to see that, I'll watch the movies, thanks.
My block list must be huge. :D
