A continuation of Part 1 of my Battlefront 2 review! Thanks so much for reading!
Gameplay: Ewok Hunt
Arguably the best gamemode, where you are either Ewok or a Stormtrooper, if you're an Ewok, you must oogabooga the Stormtrooper and beat them to death with your spear. If you're a stinky Stormtrooper, you have to survive to extraction. This gamemode honestly deserves a proximity voice chat. Its difficult to win as a Stormtrooper, but I've been able to do it and honestly it feels really rewarding. Playing as the Ewok is still the best though, you can throw Rocks full of fireflies at the stinky invaders, you can sound the battlehorn, and you can sneak up on them from the shadows and take them out that way. This gamemode was extremely fun, especially among friends and it gets a 10/10, which is partly because there is no real tryharding, its a silly gamemode and everyone who plays accepts that.
Gameplay: Assault
This is imo, the worst gamemode. Its like Supremacy except one faction is defending and the other is attacking and there are no ships to board, all heroes from different era's are there, which to me makes absolutely no sense, X-wings and such dominate on maps like Hoth, and overall I did not have a lot of fun in this gamemode. The people playing it are often very try-hardy people(which makes sense, the gamemode is quick so it doesn't last as long as supremacy, meaning more people are willing to play.) but I just can't stand this gamemode. 3/10.
Sidenote
These are the only 3 gamemodes I played. I have no interest in Heroes and Villains and other gamemodes like Extractions and Starfighter assault, So I won't be reviewing those gamemodes.
Gameplay overall
Gunplay in this game is often from a third person perspective, and to be quite honest, I really enjoy it, its a different take from the common first person POV and really works for this game. I have not noticed a meta(aside from heroes, but even then, you can still kill them), no one class is better than the other. I feel that all classes have the ability to be played well, depending on your play style. The abilities each class have work and feel good, especially the officer's cooldown ability. This game really did a good job with the gameplay and overall I had a lot of fun. Heroes still suck, but that's just how it is, I prefer playing the game from a grunt perspective so I've mainly avoided heroes. Aside from the one shitty gamemode, the game is good, it looks good, it plays good on a good machine, the music is eh? I dont really care much about the music, my friend likes it but I just don't really care. Anyways, overall I really enjoy Battlefront 2. 8/10.
If anyone has a game they'd like me to review or check out comment it down below. I'd be down to try it.
Loserman | 1620768101000 @Tyler I totally agree. I really enjoyed playing it. I still hate Assault but that's just personal preference. |
Tyler | 1620766765000 dude this game is actually a lot of fun, I was playing it around a week ago with some friends. The game had a horrible launch, but the devs managed to pull through and create a great game. |
