Speaking of the big Star Wars Battlefront 2 controversy of the past couple of days, more and more details are emerging and no one seems to want to admit blame for anything that’s happening. Players were enraged days before the official release (Nov 17th) because of the multiplayer monetization methods that are being called aggressive and predatory. First, it had loot boxes, which people weren’t keen on. Then, they tried to modify the loot box system to calm the angered fans, but they may have even made things worse. As review copies made their rounds, details came out about the game that includes Star Wars Battlefront 2’s wildly expensive hero/villain unlocks, requiring countless hours of play in order to amass enough credits to purchase just one character. The restrictions that were uncovered, combined with EAs poor solution to the backlash just made it worse. So, before the game even officially…
Star Wars Battlefront
It will take 4,528 hours of gameplay (or $2100) to unlock all base-game content in star Wars: Battlefront 2
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has made headlines, not just for its stunning visuals and epic multiplayer battles, but also for the staggering amount of time (or money) required to unlock all of its base-game content. If you’re dedicated enough to play through everything without spending a dime, you’re looking at 4,528 hours of gameplay. Alternatively, if you’d rather speed up the process, it will cost you around $2,100. Less then it will cost you to play on casino-utan-svensk-licens.com. This article breaks down these eye-popping figures and explores how the grind or the price tag shapes the player experience in Battlefront 2. A Breakdown of the 4,528 Hours The enormous 4,528-hour figure isn’t a random guess. It’s based on some basic math and the game’s reward structure. Here’s how it adds up: To unlock all Star Cards and upgrades, you need to either earn them through loot crates or directly upgrade…
EA removed RNG progression system for Star Wars Battlefront II, rebalanced loot crates
EA and DICE have announced that they have made changes to crates and progression based on player’s feedback. According to the press release, the beta gave the team a chance to test all of its systems in action and tune things up for better balance. As such, Epic Star Cards, the highest tier of Star Cards available at launch, have been removed from Crates. Here’s what I’ve realized from this entire P2W controversy. Most gamers are people with lots of time and not a lot of money, or at least not a lot of money they’re willing to spend on games. Most of them also want to retain whatever advantages they can, but don’t like it when the tables are turned on them and someone has an advantage over them. How do I know this? Simple. Because people aren’t remotely bothered by the notion that Player X has an advantage…
Star Wars Battlefront 2 Brings Original Character Back from the Dead
The long-anticipated Star Wars Battlefront 2 game is packed to the brim with action, plot twists and more. Any self-respecting Star Wars enthusiast will have a keen idea of what to expect, story-wise, having watched the single and multiplayer trailer a few times just for good measure. However, not many people are aware that EA and DICE have made the decision to bring back an original Star Wars character back from the dead for a small cameo appearance, and this could make the game even more successful. Spoiler Alert Battle Front 2 takes players straight into the action, just like a CAD casino. The game kicks off somewhere towards the end of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. This is the part just before the rebels are able to penetrate the Empire’s defences and destroy the Death Star. If you are one of those players who always want to be…

Looks like they answered the vast majority of complaints fans had about the first Battlefront: Classes Better dog-fighting mechanics & emphasis on space battles More Vehicles Revamped Star-Card system More maps & locations Prequel content An actual single-player campaign But if I was a betting man I’d say people will still find something to complain about.

Anxious for Battlefront 2? Now you can see a major leak full of info about heroes, vehicles, units, and more! Keep in mind, this information is going to be outdated since it came from leakers and the content has been and will continue to be updated after.

There’s also a free DLC with the game this time, so that will be even more added content. For now, you can take a look at the video below to see what we know so far. This past week has been crazy with Star Wars Battlefront 2 information being leaked from left to right, starting first with only a piece of the cake, and now we get the whole cake and eat it too….

Star Wars Battlefront II Builds High Hopes
There is no shortage of competition in the AAA video game industry. Although the time between now and the first quarter of 2018 is replete with big titles coming out, Electronic Arts remains confident that it can deliver on high hopes with Star Wars Battlefront II. Last month, EA CEO Andrew Wilson expressed a positive outlook for the game, stating it was “coming together really, really strong” and praised the reception of both the single-player and multiplayer modes. Optimism is to be expected – it would be strange for Wilson to express doom and gloom – but EA has not changed its estimation of selling 14 million units despite all the optimism. Whether or not you agree with it substantively, Battlefront I got a lot of criticism. For Wilson to say now that EA has presumably fixed the worst aspects of Battlefront I and feel “very energized” about the direction…

Battlefront II: E3 and EA’s eSports Aspirations
If you were going to speak about the current status of eSports in a language that all Star Wars fans understand, you could perhaps say that the force is strong with this one. Competitive gaming is a fully-blown industry these days, with research suggesting that its revenues will hit $696 million this year and then grow to a massive $1.5 billion by 2020. It may not have yet been totally embraced by the mainstream, but every year eSports edges closer to that level with broadcasters showing major tournaments and the concept genuinely becoming big business. Like more standard sports, there are now thousands of fans attending events in person and millions more watching online, with major tournaments and teams attracting huge sponsorship deals with global brands including Audi and Red Bull. There is now even a burgeoning eSports betting scene, with sites like Bets io offering odds on major ties being played…

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Trailer recreated in Battlefront 2 2005
Here is something pretty awesome. Youtuber Angry Ewok had to much time on his hands, and decided to recreat the complease Star Wars: Battlefront 2 trailer showcased at EA play last week. Check it out: As as stated in the beginning, this is both crazily awesome, and sad at the same time. I haven’t played BF2 for some time, and I don’t remember it looking this… bad. Part of that is because I am remembering the parts of the new Battlefront 2 and how they’re similar, and thereby comparing them in my mind even if I don’t realize it… And I am comparing these graphics to the graphics of the new game, and the gap is so wide it makes these seem even worse. But that is just me rambling. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is slated for release on November 17 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 with a $59.99 price tag….
Why Battlefront 2 Needs an eSports Element
Star Wars-themed computer games have such a hugely dedicated following simply because the games enable every fan to explore and live in their own part of the Star Wars universe. In many ways, this is the holy grail of a good Star Wars game, with titles like Star Wars: Rebellion and the original Star Wars Battlefront game allowing gamers to indulge their fantasies of running the Galactic Empire or helping the Rebel Alliance to become rulers of the galaxy. This formula has been successful for handing Star Wars games an enduring popularity, and has even helped to keep them relevant and popular during the dark days of the prequels (days which still cause fans to shudder when looking back at some of the storylines and acting!) but now gaming is changing, and perhaps it is finally time for Star Wars games to change with the gaming landscape. In a Galaxy Not…
Star Wars Battlefront 2’s DLC Is Free, but the game will have microtransactions
It was already revealed back in late April that EA wouldn’t add season pass for Star Wars Battlefront II, and yesterday, the publisher confirmed this to be true. Instead the game will Star Wars Battlefront II. The first content update will arive togeter with Star Wars: The last jedi in december, and add Finn and Captain Phasma to the game, as well as planet Crait. This all sound good and nice, but Speaking to GameSpot, the game’s design director Niklas Fegraeus said the game will add microtransactions to the game. Fegraeus elaborated on the new system as follows: “When you want to progress and get stuff, you can either play the game and when you play you earn the in-game currency, and with that you can spend towards whatever you want, if you want to accelerate that, if you can’t play for a week, you can purchase that. The important thing is everything can…
Star Wars Battlefront 2: Official Gameplay Trailer
So the new Star Wars Battlefront 2: Official Gameplay Trailer just hit the internet… Kashyyyk, Kamino, starkiller base, Yavin, holy shit. Did y’all see that wookiee. First shown at E3 in Los Angeles, the new trailer demonstrates just how expansive it will be, pulling in characters, locations, and vehicles that cover the entire 40-year history of the saga. It even has those Phantom Menace battle droids ( they look pretty dope eh? ) That beginning shot of the The First Order switching to Stormtroppers switching to Clones with the lightning flashes is so awesome. We’re still early in the hype cycle for the game, but this might be good guys. Story mode seems interesting to. What do you thing guys? Did EA just redeem itself? Holy shit. If they can deliver on what this trailer promises…. this will be one of the greatest games. And I’m just so happy prequels aren’t ignored…
Star Wars Battlefront 2 gameplay footage leaks
Someone “accidentally” leaked 12 minutes of gameplay from the upcomming Star Wars Battlefront 2 online. This 12 minute video gives us a good taste of how it will look and feel to play as Darth Maul and Rey. Check out the video below. While the video quality is a bit lacking, this gives you a pretty decent sense of the game and it’s pretty cool to see Rey going toe-to-toe with Darth Maul. The footage was original shared by youtuber NukemDukem’s EA Play footage, which was likely recorded before the event. The video featured a “sponsored by EA” graphic in the lower left-hand corner, but has now been removed. But as with anything ells on the web, it has been shared and is now all over the place for our viewing pleasure. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is slated for release on November 17 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 with a…

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Could Beat Call of Duty
There is a lot of buzz about Star Wars Battlefront 2 going around, as the much anticipated game will be launching this year. The recent DICE games of Battlefield and Battlefront have seen a growth in sales over time where games like Call of Duty are on the decline in sales. The Call of Duty franchise was a massive hit but it may have already peaked. This article from Gamer Headquarters talks about how Battlefront 2 could beat Call of Duty when it comes to sales. Here’s part of what they had to say about it: “The first Star Wars Battlefront topped over 14 million sales which is damn impressive for a franchise that’s been sitting dormant for many years. Sure, carrying the Star Wars name is helpful though to hit that level of sales is most certainly impressive. This really being for any game as few hit that high…

Could Jar Jar Binks Be Playable Character in Star Wars Battlefront 2?
And if he was, would anyone actually want to play him? Once crowned the most hated Star Wars character of all time, Jar Jar Binks has a rich history. While many didn’t see him as the great, lovable character that Lucas envisioned, there are still fans out there. Would you want to play him in Battlefront 2? Last week there was a lot of information finally released about the game, including a launch date for November this year. The developers finally started dishing out more details that fans have been waiting on for some time.

Battlefront II Will Be a Better Game but Possible Financial Disappointment
If you’re like the rest of us, you might be anxiously awaiting Battlefront II. The thing is, we don’t really know very much about it. That’s how they generally do these games. Anything Star Wars, especially since the new films have started production, is kept under lock and key for the most part, until it’s ready for release. That leaves a lot of open doors for speculation and Mathew Falvai of a90skid.com has some theories on what will happen with Battlefront II. In this post, he describes why he thinks it will be a better game but an overall financial disappointment. “My prediction is that gamers will do what they traditionally do and judge a game based on their last experience. The new Battlefront promises more robust single-player content, and an actual campaign, fixing two of the major issues. With the foundation of a jaw-droppingly beautiful engine and reusable assets already in place, DICE had…
