Follow up to my Star Wars Battlefront beta first impressions going to expand on points raised.   Going to cover some news which came out about the digital content plans from DICE.

The Bad

• Vehicles
• Random power ups
• Lack of variety
• Voice acting

Vehicles – Walker assault vehicles powerful along with the game changer.  Design point of view understand why they are so simple to use.  Rest of the game is casual with simple focus.  Not very interesting to use with little depth to them. Spawning is another issue fixed spawns allows people to spawn camp you taking down your air support.  Air vehicles have powerful lock on weapons with no counter measures.

Random power ups – Power ups as game play mechanic rather interesting big issue with the current system is locations. Big complaint of past DICE games has been players hogging vehicles spawns not doing much with them and hurting the team.  Overall the game is causal experience fine with power up vehicle spawns but the locations need to be moved. Walker assault the spawns are static vehicles you need are next to spawn points.  Another issue is that you need these vehicles to win walker assault that powerful.

Vehicles along with power ups be reworked with some minor design changes to balance it out.

Variety – Game play point of view the game lacks variety you need to pick up power up for a vehicle. All the weapons feel the same overall you’re doing the same sort of thing.

Voice acting – Hero and villain voice acting why did you not use better ones.

The Ugly

• UI does not fit into art style
• Partner system
• Power ups
• Lack of server browser
• Vehicles
• Uninsipred static gamemodes

User interface or heads up display – Does not feel like Star wars but clean modern basic design tapped on.  Nothing with it just feels out of place.

Partner system – Spawn system being so static does not fit with partner system would like to be able to select spawns.

Power ups – Already covered the basics of this point

Server browser – Going to hurt the PC side of things…

Uninsipred static gamemodes – Feels like could added more objectives with more happening as a result of these goals being met.

Sticking with my statement 

Game is not bad just brings nothing new, core mechanics are simple with extra mechanics being random.  Can’t see the game lasting that long based on the design don’t think that was the point.   No desire to pick up the game based on what I seen at full price.
