Tzuno3173d ago (Edited 3173d ago )

simply answer, no.

ThanatosDMC3173d ago

It feels empty. Spawn points are as bad as old Battlefront 2 though. Hate that vehicles are some weird pickup. Disappearing enemies due to pickup is annoying.

PreAtaric3172d ago

The simple answer is yes for me.

Longer answer is they nailed the sound and look, and as an old school Star Wars fan as well as a fan of the original Battlefronts I'm enjoying the beta enough to buy the game even though Metal Gear Online is more my type of game in general. It feels like those old Battlefronts to me, though I would like a Conquest mode and more single player/co-op modes in general.

Pixelart3172d ago (Edited 3172d ago )

I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Speak for yourself

Lionalliance3173d ago

I'm having fun with it so far.

S2Killinit3173d ago

Yes I think the force is strong indeed. But don't scare us with such questions because fear leads to anger and anger leads to the dark side.

user99502793173d ago

ditto. The action can be crazy. if ppl dont like it, fine, but to suggest its somehow a bad game is insane.

Baka-akaB3173d ago

It's a lot of fun i'm convinced so far .

USMC_POLICE3173d ago

I just don't like how there is no conquest mode

TheBurger293173d ago

Its a classic mode and yet not in the game. Just wait for the dlc though haha screw dice and ea.

spaceg0st3173d ago

You guys are morons. Do your homework before bashing a game. The mode is called 'Supremacy' and it's the CLASSIC mode you're referring to. Yes it's in the game. Idiots

PreAtaric3172d ago

@spaceg0st - I'm pretty sure they're talking about the Conquest mode from the old Battlefronts, not the Battlefield game type. I wish Conquest was in there too but it's not a deal breaker for me. I look forward to seeing what the single player/co-op battles are like, other than Survival.

neocores3173d ago

Not really... Hit max rank. Wish they allowed more weps on something.

Why don't you Hire Your Old Dev Team who brought us the brilliance of Battlefield Bad Company 2 while you're at it. It was more exciting than anything recent in the Battlefield series. It just needs to be updated to reach modern times, but it was so great at its core.

just_looken1d 16h ago

This would be nice but that team has tossed out the finals and has arc raiders on the back burner

20 thousand still play the final's

Why get slapped around by ea when you already have something going on.

What the next battlefield needs is a step back simple functional not a live service and smaller player servers than 2042. Just make it like battlefiled 3 with bad company destruction just something simple

But they already killed off ridgeline games that had ex halo/cod devs so no singleplayer unless they make another dev team for it.

It's what made zipper and slant six awesome. They had military vets working for them, no just as consultants, but as developers as well. I wish Sony never closed them, MAG 2 or an update to MAG and a new socom is much needed.

just_looken1d 5h ago

Older ps3 battlefield titles did the same even went to the range to get sound files.

But all these titles we are talking about were on the ps3 a console so powerful it offered free mp and games did not need 4 levels of payment plans even more crazy was the player size of mag's games.

TheColbertinator1d ago

A return to the golden age of Battlefield seems so far away now

Str8Chaos741d ago

Sadly I think you are correct. They just don’t get it. They will do their live service game with its Battle Royale and fail at both.I hate being so negative, but I have little faith in EA at this point.

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman30d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath230d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

isarai35d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga35d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole32d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville33d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5235d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_35d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville33d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM35d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka34d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_35d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
