Not as many modes, not as many maps, definitely not as many heroes as the standard issue Battlefront II which has loads of content that puts EA's version to shame single player aside. The rest you have to buy for the latest installment with a season pass btw.Spawn points are even cheapened, everything is relied on orb-token thingies to unlock vehicles instead of having them placed all over the maps and heroes that should be earned via a specific amount of kills but no. Now anyone can be Boba Fett and achieve ridiculous kill streaks they probably don't deserve.
Agreed. It's a shame multi-operated vehicles were gotten rid of. Then we could've had that mode where a player operates a drop ship full of other players to take to a capital ship where they would storm the thing and unlock a spawn point for the rest of the team to invade. That crap was awesome.
Offends me more like with the way it's been handled.
By modernized you mean lessened then I agree.
There is just as much content in this Battlefront as the originals. I do agree that it sucks that we have to pay for a season pass to access all of the content but that is not something unique to this game nor should it be scrutinized for it. Most major franchises require a season pass on top of the initial purchase. So, considering all of the content that is going to be released with the Season pass, you're getting nearly double the content that you received from the originals.
Your complaint for a lack of kill streak rewards is a valid one but personally, i say if you want kill streak rewards, go play COD. I think the random spawning power up tokens keeps the game fairly balanced. At first i also missed having vehicle spawn points. However, i do think having random spawning power tokens keeps people from camping the vehicle spawn points. There is definitely a way this could be addressed, maybe have vehicles spawn for a team if they gain a certain lead over the other and do the same for the losing team but don't give them as powerful vehicles.
Either way, i agree, there needs to be a more team based focus in the game play in general, and not just vehicles.
I don't disagree with your complaints i just think it's pretty damn fun and i definitely don't see how anyone can say it's not worth the price.
Battlefront II: 20 Heroes, more than at least 20 maps, classes with different purposes, a campaign mode each for four different factions, wider vehicle variety, Galactic Conquest that actually made you feel like you're fighting for the galaxy going to different star systems and claiming worlds. Also space battles.
Battlefront EA: 6 Heroes, 12 maps, no classes but weapon loadouts and reward cards for your rebel/stormtrooper, not one lick of a campaign unless you count that vanilla easy horde mode with a few cutscenes sprinkled on top.
And classes are a Battlefield devs specialty so for them to skip that is pretty sad. Where there could've been a menu selection screen between engineers, marksmen, shock troopers with anti-vehicle weaponry and medics like in the older Battlefronts is replaced with cheap weapon loadouts. Further evidence the game was rushed out the door.

So this is on PSN for 40 dollars right nowI kind of want to pick it up, but I have too huge a backlog of games at the moment. Is 40 worth it?
20$ isn't worth it.
-No Campaign
-Broken gameplay
-Broken "Hero" system(you can just wait for a hero token, get Boba Fett and go 100-3 with no problem)
-Dumb vehicle system(you just find a vehicle token if you're lucky)
-Pitiful vehicle selection
-No galactic conquest
The list goes on for a while.

Lol. C'mon bro, this game is definitely worth $20. I'm just as aware as everyone else of what this game lacks but twenty dollars?? Steal.
Now, $40? Ehhh, idk. Definitely not worth the $60 I paid for it.
It's really not that bad. Although I do kind of hate it at the same time. There's a lot of stuff to hate – I mean, just jumping in a Snowspeeder and taking off was one of the best parts of the old Battlefront games (which I played the living **** out of) – but when you get a decent online match and get on a bit of a roll (I'm usually heavily outmatched when it comes to online play), it feels like old Battlefront in all the right ways. Which is basically all I wanted, but I'm still going to make the most of the money I used to buy it.
It's been joked angry gamers must be demanding less content in games. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously, people.
