Star Wars: Battlefront II - Gameplay

The BF2 early access is out. Below are some cool videos I been watching, along with a playlist of a lot more. Definitely check out at least the Heroes vs Villains link below. If you have any other cool gameplay links, post it below. Also, share your thoughts on the game and if you plan to buy it (and, if so, for what console).

I really hope they add Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka.

Edit: Is Adam Driver not voicing Kylo?? Wtf

👆 Everything else looks amazing. My only complaint is a lack of PT heroes and villains.

Isn't Grievous going to be added, or was that just a rumor?

Apparently they said they tried to get him into 1.0 but his animations were so complex it was taking much longer than expected.

They already composed a theme for him when the character spawns. It's apart of the iTunes playlist, I saw.

Well, better late than never.

I expect them to add at least Kenobi in the future—probably Anakin as well. As for Ahsoka, eh, I think she would be too good to be true (at least for me) for them to add her.

They also had an Anakin theme. There's also one for Ahsoka.

At the very least they could have a Pre-Suit Vader skin if they're really that worried about having Vader fight Anakin even they have cross era gameplay.

Luke's post ROTJ appearance is well done and Kylo's style is interesting since he looks like a Shien user since he switches between the reverse grip a lot. At least that what it looks like.

I'd laugh if they had a Revan DLC character. Force drain would be interesting.

Grievous would be amazing especially if they make him like his Legends incarnation.

Yeah Kenobi and Anakin are a must.

^ Could mean anything though.

Hate using StarWarsHQ in this way.

Here's a short clip of Yoda vs Maul: https://gfycat.com/SomberFakeAntipodesgreenparakeet

and Han vs Maul (with sound): https://gifs.com/gif/mixer-stream-mulehorn-playing-star-wars-battlefront-2-heroes-vs-villains-Q009PZ?muted=false

Apparently, it will take nearly 40 hours to get enough credits to unlock either Luke or Vader.

😂

What the ****

Is that 40 hours for a single hero? So each hero you have to play for forty hours in order to buy?

And what are ‘trooper crates’ that everyone was referring to in the thread?

Yep. A single hero. Though, I think others are cheaper so you can get them in half the time.

Trooper crates are how you get new weapons and other upgrades.

Yeah I was gonna get this for Christmas but not anymore lol

The arcade mode looks fun and I'd want to play singleplayer, but I'm probably just going to wait until the price drops.

My biggest gripe is the lack of era exclusivity with the eras. Rey shouldn't be a hero in the Clone War, and Yoda shouldn't be seen fighting the First Order.

Otherwise, you'd have to play as Darth Maul every time you play on the CIS.

When they add more heroes, that will hopefully change.

If the gameplay being as Canon as possible is important for you, try to imagine the non-accurate heroes / villains as clone replicas for earlier era characters playing in later eras (ex. if you fight Yoda as the First Order, it appears they've gotten their hands on a clone Yoda), or as just lesser versions for later era characters playing earlier eras (ex. on Kamino, Rey is just a female Jedi, Han Solo an important smuggler, Darth Vader a CIS Jedi Hunter, etc.).

That's what I do at least, lol.

I thought you refused to watch anything from SW theory?

And btw the amount of in-game purchases emphasized on video games now-a-days is part of the reason why I'm phasing them out of my life. It's pay to win even after dropping x amount of dollars on the actual thing.
