Star Wars: Battlefront series

Postby Wilconson » Fri Sep 10, 2010 4:21 pm

Well because of nearly high jacking the Halo: Reach1!1! fanboy thread. I and Novogorad V have decided to start our own thread on a fantastic video game series on PS2, Xbox, PC, DS and PSP. Since I don't know how to start these threads let us share or experiences, opinions and pretty much hoping that Star Wars: Battlefront III would be made instead of those repetitive Lego games. So let's start before I start rambling again.

I don't see another Battlefront game coming out anytime soon, unfortunately. I still play SWBF2 often though.

I personally have always wondered what the programmers were smoking when they made the hunt map for Mos Eisely I mean how can Tusken Raiders be killed by Jawas?

Every conqueror should never underestimate a ewok since they will obliterate all Imperial attempts to conquer or defeat them… at least that's what the game and films have taught me.

Er, I've found that Ewoks suck balls in the game. I guess they're just the right height for it.

I remember playing splitscreen with my sister in SFBF1 at the Bespin platforms. We'd always have the hero mode on and try to launch Luke/Vader off the platforms with rocket launchers. Good times :)

Elite Squadron sucks ass and Renegade was better. I mean, sure, it's got that new multiplayer glitz, but here's the features that have been cut:

Most weapons, body parts, and goddamn colors are locked. Though it is sometimes a good thing, the credit limit NEVER increases in ANY way. Part of Renegade's fun for me was being able to use any weapon, at any time, within the limits.

There are FAR fewer maps than Renegade Squadron. Sure, they have land-to-space transitions, but the space battles suck too (more on that later). RS had more maps, and a more imaginative campaign. (Which, by the way, probably spoils BFIII since it focuses on the same Jedi clone).

Space battles suck too. It's fun to be able to blow up a spaceship, but they really shat the bed on this one. Mainly:
    1. There are no more frigates or capital ships. Instead, the frigate IS the capital ship.
    2. There are only two types of spaceships: fightercraft and gunships.
    3. No more asteroid spacestations for outer space gunfights.

The campaign is GROSSLY unimaginative. Occasionally there's a boss fight, but it's too damn easy. Not only that, but most missions (and skirmishes) account to basically capturing the Ion Cannon, holding it long enough to deplete the capital ship's shielding, then boarding a fighter, going into the capital ship, shooting the core until it dies, then going to an escape pod and escaping the destroyed ship, before proceeding to gun down enemies. One single rote goddamn tactic.

Renegade Squadron, on the other hand, had no locked items, lots of spaceships and maps, and a more imaginative (and difficult) campaign. In short: Renegade Squadron owns Elite Squadron.

PLEASE, don't fvck up this badly with Battlefront III.

I hope that in Battlefront III (if it is ever produced) they make Heroes more uber. Not as more straight-up powerful, but more Jedi-like. In BFII the Heroes essentially run around like infantry with lightsabers. And what about Hero lightsaber duels? Over in a snap; I bet 90% don't last 15 seconds. I would rather that Heroes have a little more flavor to them than just jumping and sprinting around like a huge monkey on crack and hacking up everything in their way.

I don't remember which, but last time I checked, it was nothing but whiny 12 year olds complaining about this or that after losing. This is also why I stopped playing online games years ago. When they start blacklisting weapons you know the player base has gone to shit and it's time to quit.

I played SWBF1, SWBF2, and Renegade squadron as well as the demo to elite squadron. I prefered Battlefront 1 to 2 because there were air vehicles. I liked Renegade alot and I am not sure about elite squadron.

BF2 was one of my favorite games ever. Unfortunately my PS3 isnt backwards-compatible. You'd think they'd put a game that awesome on the PS store.
