That's true tbh. The game really was fucked after launch for awhile and BF4 still is for me at times. I feel like most big company game is terrible once they launch. It's a pain
It's hardly surprising that Star Wars Battlefront's best mode is also its showcase one, bringing all aspects of the game together with a unique set-up focusing on one of the series' most iconic vehicle types and recreating one of its most famous set-pieces.
The reason this works is because each side's role perfectly reflects theirs in the films. Rebels face seemingly insurmountable odds as one or two enormous AT-AT walkers descends upon them, while the Empire feels a sense of power either carried through to the end of a match or evaporated by Rebel heroics.
That last bit is why I love Walker Assault
I'm having a lot of fun so far but I'm a big Battlefield fanboy so maybe that's why. I have very few complaints tho. It all feels extremely authentic and captures being in the Star Wars universe so well, better than most Star Wars games that I've played anyway
A lot of that might have to do with the updated graphics, they're pretty amazing. Sometimes I'll find myself walking away from the battle on Endor to check out the view of the huge lake off the side or the battles in the far distance or whatever. No maps are revelatory compared to other games but they capture the look and mood of the planets and locations extremely well, there's a ton of detail
Even just the way people take hits or die or yell feels straight out of the movies. I wish they'd include random wilhelm screams from time to time
I'd say it's an acceptable modern day shooter but a very good Star Wars experience
