Star Wars Battlefront Beta Live Today

[motoman]

One of the things I don't care for is not having any indication a grenade has been thrown my way. I've died multiple times to a nade explosion, not knowing it was there.

There is a bit of a learning curve to the game and I was trying to figure out how people were scoring high in a match. I quickly realized that this game is meant to be played using as many power ups as you can find. Vehicles are where it's at.

LOL, that's awesome.

Yea there's no learning curve. It's battlefield with a starwars skin. There are gonna be some good players.
Other than that, runs great 144hz gsync. Never drop below 144 and not a stutter yet.

The AT-ST on the Hoth map is OP if you know what you are doing. Don't attack the uplink station on the left, hide on the right side and just blast anyone coming around that mountain path with the 6x grenade spam. I went 33/3 last night and mainly tooled around in an AT-ST.


Flight mechanics on PC are wack. I have to control speed and evasive maneuvers with WASD and F1 F2 and F3. Yet to target other spacecraft, I have to use my right mouse button? Weird.

I tried to cable rope an AT-AT...ended up flying into his legs on first turn.

Best part of my game was we were about to lose as rebels, Y-Wing ion bombed the AT-AT to get it exposed, I called in an orbital strike and it blew that thing to PIECES, as well as the 10 or so Stormtroopers running around underneath it. Epic clutch.

As much fun as all of this was, won't be buying. Too 10 year old COD player friendly.

Just found a video that I think helps explain why I was getting my ass kicked so bad: CoD gunning habits. Basically, you're penalized for looking down site, but not for hip fire.

One thing worth mentioning: I really like the warm up/cool down mechanic as opposed to having ammo. It makes things interesting. Haven't mastered the "sweet spot" cool down, but it is useful.

I'm going to end up getting it, but I won't be uninstalling bf4 any time soon.

Based on my experience so far, this is purely a run and gun game. Like, if you aren't running and shooting, you're dying. A lot of the time you're doing both. Lots of blind corners on the Sullust map, and it seems to come down to who sees who first.

Good point on the tracer effect. I haven't done a great job of taking advantage of that. I've played CoD for years and maintained a pretty consistent 1:1 Kill/Death ratio or better. I'm getting shredded in this game so far.

Just log in man, its free. I like it, not sure how they are gonna keep it from being stale, looks like it will need way more weapon and equipment options and upgrades to keep up w/ other FPS. It's also pretty easy to find people to kill since all the guns are tracers. They work both ways, not sure if I like that or not.

One of you DFWM ballers throw it my way. This niggas broke!

I cant believe they have a fucking FREE BETA. What the fuck is this.

[motoman]
