Improvement Suggestion: Droid Run, Cargo, 'Round Summary' & Boba Fett dialogue

Below:  Improvement Suggestion for Droid Run, Cargo, 'Round Summary' and Boba Fett Dialogue... also a Thank You to the EA Battlefront Team

DROID RUN - improvement suggestion

EA Battlefront Team...

Just a suggestion without attempting to completely revamp the Droid Run mission concept.

My son and I came up with this idea quite a while ago. We decided to post this suggestion due to reading many current threads about players not really liking how you and your team could be defending or controlling the Droids for the majority of the mission…  and then only to lose because the other team activated a droid at last minute thereby having 2 or the 3 Droids in their control.

So currently, a team can be victorious by either:

1) Activating and controlling all 3 Droids thus being victorious before the time runs down to 00:00

OR BY…

2) Completing the timed mission by controlling 2 of the 3 Droids as mentioned above.

What about… adding ‘Team Activation Time’ to the mix.

This would be a little similar to HERO HUNT with its ‘Hero Damage’ calculation.

So with a ‘Team Activation Time’ added… teams might/would feel more of an urgency to ‘Activate’ a Droid and control it a long as possible.

This then would allow for a team to be victorious by either:

1) Activating and controlling all 3 Droids thus being victorious before the time runs out 00:00

OR NOW BY…

2) By having the most ‘Team Activation Time’ in total for the entire timed mission. Therefore a team could end up activating and controlling a Droid just before the timed mission reaches 00:00 minutes BUT they could lose due to having a lesser total Team Activation Time than the other team.

CARGO - improvement suggestion:

EA Battlefront Team…

Just a suggestion without attempting to completely revamp the CARGO mission concept.

My son and I have noticed that when playing Extraction and Hero Hunt… the mission continues even when the time runs down to 00:00… but Cargo does not.

In EXTRACTION… if the Shipment is still in motion when the time runs out (00:00), the mission continues until the shipment is stopped by the other team…

In HERO HUNT, if the time runs out (00:00), the mission does not stop until the hero is defeated…

But in CARGO… the mission stops when the time runs out (00:00) even if a player already had a cargo on their back. So a Cargo carrier could lead their team to victory by delivering the cargo to their side thereby breaking a Round Draw of’ 5-to-5’ to a ‘6-to-4’ mission match.

So you might want to alter Cargo so that the mission can continue if given the circumstances mentioned above. 

ROUND SUMMARY screen – general game suggestion:

EA Battlefront Team…

As of the last Update March 3-22-16, you added some of the player‘s personal stats at the end of each round so that a player sees on their own screen their own Avatar, ID Name and some of their stats…

In addition, you have always had a ‘Round Summary’ screen which indicates ‘MVP’ - Objective related, ‘Highest Score’, ‘Most Objectives Defended’ and few others depending of the game being played.

How about adding the Rebel or Imperial icons to these titles?

That way all the players would be able to quickly recognize or know if that player in any given Round Summary category was on their team or the other team. Otherwise, you just have to be able to quickly recognize the player’s ID name only… if that is of any of interest to you as a player.

Most of the time, my son and I are just curious if the player mentioned in each Round Summary category was on our team or the other side.

BOBA FETT dialogue – general game suggestion:

EA Battlefront Team…

My son pointed this Boba Fett dialogue out to me… which seemed out of place given all of the other dialogue/voiceover in the entire game...

Boba Fett says, “I’m going to fill your guts with fire.” Huh… fill your guts with fire?

My son felt and still feels that was a little gross… even for Boba Fett to say.

Look, all I am trying to say here is that the game is STAR WARS, no blood, no guts, no dismemberment, even though it is a ‘T’ rated game… it is a game that is played by a lot of younger kids… like my son, who is under 10 years old. This game is not a Call Of Duty, Battlefield or anything similar type of game so I have been told.

Is there not some easy fix to this dialogue of Boba Fett’s?

I am also not suggesting that the entire phrase be removed/deleted… even though Boba Fett has various phrases that are cycled through during game play.

Lastly EA Battlefront Team…

WE LOVE THIS GAME !!!…  IT IS AWESOME !!!

As a new gamer that has never owned any gaming console in my life… yes, that’s right. I decided to enter the gaming world and bought as a surprise for my son in Nov 2015… 2 Special Edition SW PS4 consoles, 2 SE SW games (discs) and 2 season passes just because… it was STAR WARS!!!…

The visuals and immersive audio/dialogue are completely amazing… and even with all of the possible negative issues that I have read for months in all of the EA forums since its debut in Nov 2015... the game is AWESOME !!!...

I encourage my son to adapt and overcome in the Battlefront when dealing with the ongoing changes via game updates… again the game is AWESOME.

I set it up so that we are hearing the games on a home-theater surround sound system… which completely rocks…  We are not playing this game… rather my son and I are… IN THE BATTLEFFRONT!!!, capturing control points and activating uplinks.

It is completely obvious that that majority of or all of EA’s Star Wars Battlefront team put their heart, soul and passion into every aspects of this game.

THANKS EA BATTLEFRONT TEAM!
