I’m not sure how extensive the sets and characters are, since this was a pre alpha configuration, but it was cool to see this set and these characters mix together.īattle Points in this game are similar to money, or credits. So clone troopers from Episode III were battling me on a set from Episode I.
Now the interesting part of Battlefront 2 is the ability to mix characters from different movies together. Within this pre-alpha version, I was sent to protect a transport. They allow you to buy certain items or vehicles during the game and can be distributed for killing, game achievements, or numerous things." "Battle Points in this game are similar to money, or credits. I wasn’t getting enough punch from my rifle my assault droid was carrying, so I switched it over to the heavy battle droid.
There are also Officers and Specialists who have their own variations also. For example, the standard assault battle droid is equipped with a a light laser rifle, whereas a heavy battle droid is equipped with a heavier laser rifle known as the E-5C. They’re all pretty much the same all around, and the variations come in selecting which droid has which weapon. I was lucky to get shot a few times before actually dying, so I know the droid fairs much better than it’s depicted in the movies.ĭuring respawn times, or before entering a match, I was able to choose which battle droid I wanted. These little guys look like skeleton figures of humans, but with long angled heads, and a backpack of sorts. Now their health is at least equal to the humans from the other side. So how did it translate to game? Well, DICE took out the usual one-shot kills the droids received in the movies. I played at a battle droid within the game, and as many Star Wars fans (such as myself) know, the battle droids are the weakest characters in the movies. And the blaring music was as wonderful as any of the movies. Blaster fire sounded as though it was from a true Star Wars rifle, the battle droids called out “Roger, Roger,” as they would. On top of that, the sounds were as authentic as any Star Wars movie. The large columns that support the architecture look as though they’ve been standing for hundreds of years as though this city is authentic and it’s been lived in with regular residents and guests, who’ve been forced to evacuate due to the war. Droids run around the grounds of the city, trees wave in the breeze as they’re being shot from both sides. It reflects the movies properly not only with the look of the grand, towering buildings the green copper-washed rooftops possibly faded by the salty air the individual bricks that create the foundation, giving it substance and character the vistas and backdrops of the world just outside the map and many miles away, but also the accuracies of the the atmosphere that gives it that special feeling that it seems only Star Wars can. "The map of Naboo is almost beyond words." Standing brave with my standard issue rifle - although good, it was also flimsy - I took down the soldiers of the castle/city and felt as though I was really trying to take over this eye-poppingly magnificent city with my team. My experience with Battlefront 2 took place on the planet of Naboo as a battle broid in a luxurious and beautiful city. There is nothing to worry about this time around, however. It’s interesting because both shooter fans and Star Wars fans were both disturbed by the game coming without a standard campaign. It’s odd that the first game did not, when the original Xbox/PS2 versions did. Let’s start out by getting one thing out of the way right here and now: Star Wars Battlefront 2 will have a single player campaign mode. With no single player, very limited maps, and not enough space battles, EA’s Star Wars Battlefront was sort of left in the dust.ĭICE have returned to try their hand at the beloved franchise one more time with Star Wars: Battlefront 2. But after playing 2015’s Star Wars: Battlefront it was really hard for me to wrap my mind around why the developers at DICE decided to leave so much content out of it. For me there’s nothing like playing a game that takes place in that special galaxy far, far away.
