[CashmoneyDux]

[AP21]

I thought the visuals were pretty damn good tbh. The environment alone was very interesting, BUT, i wasnt impressed with the gameplay in my short time of playing. Gonna try and play some more this weekend, but initially, i wasnt blown away or anything.

There will be no single player campaign or story mode, pretty much online MP or vs. Bots only...

Yea this is definitely a Battlefield reskin. Lots of running toward objectives to be done.

Confusing UI.

Star Wars: Battlefront will have AI-controlled enemies for single-player/co-op modes like Survival, but there won't be a proper single-player campaign for players to dig into. The reason for that, Electronic Arts Chief Operating Officer Peter Moore told Gamespot, is simple: Hardly anyone would bother playing it anyway.

Moore said decisions like this are made years in advance of a game's release, and that can sometimes lead to problems. "Between when a dev team starts work on a game, and when it finishes, the world becomes a different place. I remember when we started work on Star Wars: The Old Republic; at the time, the model to go for was subscription," he explained. "By the time we had the game ready, the model to go for wasn't subscriptions. That's why we had to stop the game, and rebuilt it as a free-to-play title with microtransactions, but even then there were some people who said they wanted to keep their subscriptions."

Responding to the suggestion that 'triple-A' games like Star Wars: Battlefront "traditionally" sell better with a single-player campaign than without, Moore said "you might be right," but that "very few people actually play the single-player on these kinds of games. That's what the data points to."

EA has said in the past that Star Wars: Battlefront was intended to be a multiplayer game right from the start, but I think this is the first time that anyone has been so open as to exactly why that is. Do you agree? Numbers don't lie, as they say, but would the presence of a single-player campaign make you more likely to buy the game? Or is the online action really where it's at?

So what are those big walker tanks reskins of? what are these big ass maps reskins of? what are the blasters reskins of? lol. None of you niggas calling it a reskin dont even play battlefield thats what makes the claims so obsurd. But the gameplay is decent probably will pass on it 3rd person is fire but on walker assult when u spawn an niggas kill you in your own base that is gamebreaking.

 

[playmaker88]

Damn

 

[StoneColdMikey]

this game fun

recipe...i think you are blowing this way out of proportion fam lol...btw...i PLAY Battlefield

it doesnt have to be a 1:1 exact replica to be considered a skin

the player models, the way they hold weapons, throw grenades, etc...is EXACTLY the same stuff in BField. Again, this is probably from a infrastructure standpoint where it makes sense b/c you dont have to create something from scratch. The infrastructure is already there. At that point, its about using the engine to curtail it to your game specifically.

and again, the laser "pew pew" takes the place of the bullets.

The environment is phenomenal b/c of all the stuff going on in the background. Im not even a fan of the movie series, but even i was like "damn, this must be how it feels to be in this setting"...BUT, at its core, it is Bfield brah

I can say this if gta player movement was similar to this id fuck with it heavy

you can look at it as they fucked up or they saved themselves and all the backlash and criticism from fanboys if they made some half assed attempt at a story.

I like Titanfall that there is really no story in the traditional sense, but the "single player" stuff they offer is just a glorified tutorial for the MP matches

 

[The Recipe]

Personally i didnt care if it had a campaign because they are emphasising on mp so in theory they would cut out developemnt of the story and just double up on mp developers designers debuggers testers etc... But they clearly didnt do that because the core mechanics are broken you spawn and die an obsurd amout of times even in your base its like respwaning into a firing squad and darth vader and luke are ridiculous. Its sad because so many mp shooters in the market are broken. This is a pass I wouldnt cop this game for 20 dollars. Honestly hardline beta was alot better than this. Id be surprised if it last beyond a cpl months unless they do some major overhauling by launch
