★☆☆☆☆
Forty year Gaming Veteran and this is the worst combat gameplay I have ever witnessed.
I went back into the game last night, cause I was bored and really wanted to see if I really hated it as much as I did. Well I do. Worse actually. I took a week off of work to do nothing but play Battlefront. Wife even bought a Black Christmas Tree and put Star Wars ornaments all over it, with white lights and stars. I'm not a Star Wars Superfan, but I was fourteen when Star Wars (original) came out. - So I REALLY was looking forward to this, and had played the beta. Within the first 30 min after clicking the Launch Button at midnight, I thought I was going to be ill. The game-play is SERIOUSLY flawed and feels like it was created by two totally different teams. It's like they spent a year recreating the Star Wars universe, and then paid some low rent intern to code the actual gameplay over a weekend. By far the absolute worse combat experience you could have imagined. There's no logic to anything. Zero - It's just random chaotic deathmatch with objectives that have no value. It's much more important to pick up the random "perks" that spawn on the map than to play any objectives. Actually you can get a great score by just holding back and picking up the vehicle spawns only. To say the GamePlay is written for children would be considered borderline "Child Abuse". How could it be possible to have such a beautiful looking and sounding game, (and it does look fantastic) with authentic Star Wars atmosphere, have game mechanics, balance, hit detection, and such skill-less gameplay, be so poorly implemented? The game play equates to being blindfolded, tossed into a small pit with thirty-nine other blindfolded people, and everyone given a chainsaw. The whole time you're playing you keep thinking to yourself "Surely this just cannot be this bad." But it is. Then reality sets in.... " I spent how much on this? " I literally, (I'm not kidding)..... I literally walked up behind a guy, shoved my blaster rifle into his back, opened up and completely overheated my rifle, only to have him turn, and one shot me. - I've been killed by a shotgun style gun, from a guy nearly on the other side of the map. - Any other game, they would be considered to be a possible hacker. But not in this. THIS IS THE "GAME". Random, death, from any and all directions with no meaning, or purpose. No matter what play style you prefer; camping, attacking, ninja captures, etc... is meaningless. Shoot one time and fifteen other people will just open up on you from all directions. I don't write many reviews at all, but this is disgusting and an insult to the Star Wars franchise. Now I have to look at this Star Wars themed Christmas tree for the next month that my wonderful wife made for me...... to remind me just how crappy this game is. As an EA Stockholder, I bought mine from EA directly and considering writing a letter to the board of directors, that I'm disgusted and livid. Selling all my stock first thing Monday. (which isn't much, but I don't want to profit from this garbage.) -= I"m not even going to start to talk about the lack of content, but the content that it does have, although GORGEOUS, it so repetitive, and meaningless, that after an hour, you have seen the whole game. Trust me you won't want to play much longer than that anyway. You've been warned.
