It’s more basic but no less fun and I did appreciated that the matches were shorter and was available if I didn’t have a whole lot of time to play. Essentially one team would try to capture an item and deliver it to a point on the map while the other team tried to stop them. It was more cinematic than the other modes and made you feel like you were participating in a large scale battle.įor shorter and more intimate matches, Strike was available to play. If the droids succeeded, the match took the fight into the palace, with the same attack/defend style combat.
In the beta, the droids were trying to escort their large weapon to the palace while clone troopers tried to destroy it before it reached the front gate. I had a great time with Galactic Assault which is a 40 player objective mode, where the match evolves based each round. Starfighter Assault featured the familiar X-Wings and Tie Fighters from the original trilogy of movies (Episodes 4-6) and the smaller Strike mode saw First Order troopers going up against Resistance fighters from the new trilogy (Episodes 7-9). The showpiece mode, Galactic Assault, took place in the prequel era movies (Episodes 1-3) pitting the Trade Federation droids against the Republic clone trooper soldiers. While the beta was purposely light on content, it did feature three modes, each set within different Star Wars eras. After letting my thoughts stew for a couple weeks, here’s what I thought of the experience. Thankfully, fans got a taste of what DICE has planned thanks to a beta test that happened earlier this month. Chief among them is a new single-player, story-driven campaign, as well as finally including all three Star Wars eras into the multiplayer. With Battlefront 2, you can see that DICE took the feedback to heart, rectifying many things that didn’t sit well with fans. It was missing that spark which hooked my friends and I back in the day. The team nailed the visuals and sound but the gameplay felt uninspired and boring. While the spirit of the franchise was there, unfortunately, DICE’s first attempt rang somewhat hollow. Staying up late, or skipping a class to play one more round was a common theme in my college dorm. I spent a lot of time playing the old Pandemic Studios games back in the day, creating countless memories with friends. When EA announced Star Wars Battlefront a few years ago, I was very happy to see the franchise making a comeback.
