simply answer, no.

ThanatosDMC3150d ago

It feels empty. Spawn points are as bad as old Battlefront 2 though. Hate that vehicles are some weird pickup. Disappearing enemies due to pickup is annoying.

PreAtaric3150d ago

The simple answer is yes for me.

Longer answer is they nailed the sound and look, and as an old school Star Wars fan as well as a fan of the original Battlefronts I'm enjoying the beta enough to buy the game even though Metal Gear Online is more my type of game in general. It feels like those old Battlefronts to me, though I would like a Conquest mode and more single player/co-op modes in general.

Pixelart3150d ago (Edited 3150d ago )

I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Speak for yourself

Lionalliance3150d ago

I'm having fun with it so far.

S2Killinit3150d ago

Yes I think the force is strong indeed. But don't scare us with such questions because fear leads to anger and anger leads to the dark side.

user99502793150d ago

ditto. The action can be crazy. if ppl dont like it, fine, but to suggest its somehow a bad game is insane.

Baka-akaB3150d ago

It's a lot of fun i'm convinced so far .

USMC_POLICE3150d ago

I just don't like how there is no conquest mode

TheBurger293150d ago

Its a classic mode and yet not in the game. Just wait for the dlc though haha screw dice and ea.

spaceg0st3150d ago

You guys are morons. Do your homework before bashing a game. The mode is called 'Supremacy' and it's the CLASSIC mode you're referring to. Yes it's in the game. Idiots

PreAtaric3150d ago

@spaceg0st - I'm pretty sure they're talking about the Conquest mode from the old Battlefronts, not the Battlefield game type. I wish Conquest was in there too but it's not a deal breaker for me. I look forward to seeing what the single player/co-op battles are like, other than Survival.

neocores3150d ago

Not really... Hit max rank. Wish they allowed more weps on something.

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman7d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath27d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai13d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga12d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole10d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville10d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5213d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_12d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville10d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM12d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka12d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_12d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

badboyz0916d ago (Edited 16d ago )

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
