Ive also tried the new starfighter assault map, its so weird but really fun Anndddd I also just finished the Resurrection campaign DLC. It was ok, not really as good as the main game though. The missions felt a little like reskins of the ones in the campaign, and the ending was also quite predictable and cliche, which kinda sucks but eh. Im also fairly sure Idens skin has changed color for some reason... I also unlocked the final sniper, although I really love the A280-CFE with the burst mode on. It plays a little different (kinda like a normal blaster rifle) but its awesome I wish the NT-242 or whatever its called had a dual zoom as standard, but eh There are a few balance changes Id like to see though... Imo, the CR-2 and the Blurrg need to have their damage reduced OR have their damage at medium/long range reduced seriously. Just saying, but theyre far too strong. Blast is essentially a question of who can use the CR-2 the best, but yeah... those 2 weapons are a bit OP imo Vanguard should have no speed increase, but its otherwise mostly ok although a SLIGHT damage decrease wouldnt be too bad. I think the heavy class needs a damage decrease, just generally Id also like TIE fighters to have some kind of repair ability instead of Afterburner, because Afterburner is pretty useless. Sure it can stop missiles/lock-ons but its so easy to dodge missiles its just kind of a waste of an ability. You dont ever really need the speed increase either. And I know in the lore that TIE fighters were made cheaply etc, but a repair ability would be more useful and make them equals to x-wings instead of x-wings being much much better. I think the interceptor ships should have an increased turn radius, just to avoid situations where youre constantly turning trying to hit each other and the first one to get bored dies. I think their small size is enough to make up for their low health, but yeah... the interceptors are so bad I think the specialist should have a health increase to 125 or 150 so they can avoid being killed in one non-headshot hit by some weapons. I think some of their weapons should have a slight damage increase (especially the standard sniper rifle, that needs a SERIOUS damage increase), but at the moment they dont deal enough damage overall to have such low health.

Im also fairly sure Idens skin has changed color for some reason... Though I have to admit seeing the heroes lose was refreshing. I've been a customed with Star Wars stories (for the most part) the good guys winning. Even if that means they have to sacrifice themselves for it (like R1). So, to see the heroine lose like that was unexcepting for me. I hate that they end it on a cliffhanger. I don't know if that means will get more sp dlc with Zav (I think I spelled her name correctly) in the future, but I don't know.

The new Galactic Assault map is brutal from the Imperial side, really been enjoying it.

Another victory for the First Order! Also more highlights: I just want to talk through the first clip. Ive been playing Heroes vs Villains some recently and ive been playing as Captain Phasma because I think shes awesome. But in almost every game I play theres at least one person who has strapped rubber bands to their controllers. And because of the order of targets, I knew that the person who had been randomly spawned as Iden Versio was next to be the target so I decided to try and defend her (but she was constantly walking into walls and stuff), then Rey happened. I thought I was gonna die at that point but she was frozen by Phasmas droid so I hit her with her baton Then because I was the next target I ran away, because Jedi (and Finn) were chasing me. Then when I was thrown forward I turned around to see an army of Jedi running at me, but luckily Darth Vader was there so I kinda stood next to him like "protect me!", which he did, but Yoda was still chasing me, so I dropped a droid to try and freeze him so I could get away. But Yoda was pretty determined to kill me, even after I wasnt the target anymore So I led him back to my droid, which froze him, so I could shoot him. And then he ran away, which made me realize he was the next target, so I chased after him, killed Finn who was in the way, and then took some shots at Yoda. It was a pretty stressful like minute and 40 seconds

First Order master race. Okay, so here are my thoughts about the game. When I first started the game, I had hoped for a well developed Imperial story. While I came in with the expectation that it was going to be inferior compared to the original BF2, that expectation came true through and through. You end up betraying the Empire, fighting for the Rebels, and then eventually the First Order.
What I was hoping was that we could not only see Thrawn in, but also see Iden end up joining the FO at one point and hopefully one day fight for them. But again, the Rebels get the spot light. The campaign wasn't boring, but it wasn't exactly great either and I finished it for the sake of finishing it. The campaign did however have some amusing moments.
Iden dying in the end was a redeeming factor, but after Resurrection's ending we might get more campaign DLC provided EA doesn't kill the game like it did with ME:A
Overall, for me, a 4/10.
The multiplayer however, I find to be fun. While Galactic Assault is essentially a mix of the same objectives found in other maps, I still find it to be enjoyable for the most part except the lag which had been improved massively as of late. I want to see trooper customization come in soon. On Kamino, we contested a landing pad for about 20 minutes while listening to the 501st marching theme, extremely memorable. The improvements over the original EA battlefront are significant in many fields, such as starfighter combat. While the annoying flying in circles is still there, it now is more demanding to actually fly a star fighter than it was in the original EA BF, requiring a bit more skill to line up the shots. I still wish we could've gotten an improved version of the original BF2's space battles. Overall, it's not a bad game. It certainly isn't on the level of Republic Commando, KOTOR, or even the original BF2 or BF1. There is fun to be had, and my God do the clone troopers look amazing. But it isn't a great game either. But, it's fun, and I do hope EA doesn't gut it because of the MT mess which is entirely possible. 7/10

Well, I've started the campaign. I like stealthy snipery play, though I suspect that means I'll be toasted in PVP. Bet I'm way behind everyone else (and no I'm not buying crates...)

Free?
Are they sticking to the every DLC free model, even though the loot boxes are gone, or not?
It is a major factor whether or not I buy the game when the discount becomes significant enough.

(If you don't feel like sitting through the entire video, just skip to the 1:30 mark. However, what happened to me is was quite bad. Also this totally isn't shameless advertising I swear).

Hi all! Today EA announced the new progression system for Battlefront 2. Basically everything gameplay related will be earned in game and micro transactions can only be spent on unlocking customisation options for your troopers and heroes - basically everything the community has been asking for! They’ll be rolling out the first part on March 21st with customisation coming in April. So for those interested in the game but put off by the controversy before, now is the time to jump in! www.ea.com/games/starwars/battlefront/battlefront-2/news/progression-update

Yeah, at this stage I'll pass. Whenever I hear the "It's just cosmetic" I can't help but hear Jim Sterling's voice saying it. And apparently now, cosmetics don't break cannon no more. Get it together EA...
Suppose this is a step in the right direction, after a marathon to the opposite.

I doubt they are breaking canon still. More likely all the cosmetics will fit the canon. So for clones the various battalions, the Empire and Forst Order possibly like they did last game with the different shoulder pad colors, the Rebellion and Resiatance with different races, and the Sepratists with different colors for the droids. Then the hero characters will get skins they had in the movies. They just won’t have things like pink Stormtroopers.

Those exactly were the points of the community when EA released an interview saying they didn't want to add customization because it'd break the canon if Darth Vader was pink. There's no need to go to the extremes, but that's their everyday bullshit, specially when the first game did have custom options (and so did 2 also, just hidden from the start) and the second game doesn't particularly follow canon when Rey can fight Palpatine. EA CEO words:
