This last one equips the Trooper (or Droid, since the Separatist Assault class also has this power apparently) with a shotgun-like Scattergun that you can use for a limited time, and if you kill someone with it the timer gets reset.Īfter a few deaths and I’m pretty sure zero kills, I moved to the Heavy class of Trooper. His Card Powers were Thermal Detonator grenade, which I used a lot and I’m not sure I hit a single person with, Disruption, which disables weapons and vehicles temporarily if caught by it, and a new power for Battlefront 2 called Vanguard: Replenish. I started with a basic Clone Trooper, or “Assault” class, who I regularly got slaughtered as until I gave up as him. I tried out three classes, one of which I’ll save for a moment. I was put on the Republic side (yay), defending Theed Palace against the Droid forces of the sinister Separatists (boo). I had no idea of the controls, I’m astonished I got any kills, and I’m very glad I wasn’t capturing any gameplay (not very often I say that) since you guys would be humiliating me for the rest of my life. That said, the one thing I wasn’t happy with was that I was playing on PS4. The setup, of two mass-produced armies fighting an endless war, just fits snugly into the Battlefront setup so I’m very happy to see it back. Most importantly though, as Pandemic’s 2005 Battlefront II proved, the Clone Wars works perfectly with this game. The Classic Trilogy will always be the best, but for variety having the other parts of the Saga represented can only be a good thing. It was the same demo they showed at E3 played by “influencers”, except we were playing it! And it was pretty darn cool.įirst a note on the setting: while I personally can’t stand The Phantom Menace, I do love the Clone Wars TV show and I’m overjoyed to see the Battlefront series return to it. As the Separatists got to a certain point the Clone were forced to retreat into the palace, until it became a battle for control of the Throne Room. The style was Assault – Droids attacking, complete with AAT Battle Tanks, and Clones defending the palace. Our multiplayer gameplay demo was set on the capital city of Theed on Naboo, and it was a Clone Wars Republic vs Separatists round, aka Clone Troopers vs Battle Droids. Now we’ve at last had the chance to play Star Wars Battlefront 2, just before the beta hits, and we can see if DICE have fixed all the problems. Far-too-good players, never being able to be a hero, lack of variety, only a couple of Walker Assaults, that damned sniper laser… Battlefront lost its charm quickly.
DICE got the feel of Star Wars exactly right, but after a month or so of play… the problems started to raise their heads.
Oh yes, we can install it again, but we miss the joy of experiencing it for the first time, seeing the Star Wars universe up close in more detail than we could’ve possibly imagined. It’s amazing how much we’ve missed Star Wars Battlefront.
