Skirmish is awful
With so many people complaining there wont be anything else added to it, I had a quick go yesterday just to see what its all about. I chucked the difficulty onto medium and grabbed a hero token, went Vader.
The thing was infuriatingly annoying. You know the way the ai just take a few shots at you, then stop, then start again?
So I'm walking about through the trees, trying to enjoy myself and the shots are hitting me like
Tshh
Tshh
Tshh
Tshh
Tshh
I mean, it was like Chinese water torture. And I was that bored I could barely be **** blocking
The ai themselves were just sort of stood about looking confused, or they had that caught in two minds look
I was gonna go on but you get the picture with this. And I know people have said they like to unwind without the usual online antics, but I'd rather just take an odd anti vehicle hand or summin into WA and **** around a bit than bother with this again. God only knows why people want to play blast against the Tshh Tshh mob
So how are people getting their kicks on here? And why want more of something that's obviously broken and half hearted?

I like wrecking as Vader or Boba a whole match on easy. Online I never get Hero Tokens. Usually if I play Rebels I play on Master and don't use Heroes which actually forces effort to win.
There's plenty of reasons why I love it. I certainly agree from a competitive shooter mindset online is leagues better and I wouldn't argue against it, but I come from mostly offline gaming in childhood so I love chilling and living out a fantasy sometimes after work rather than play online. And did I mention I love OT Star Wars?
Having a go of the heroes in a relatively calmer mode I can see some attraction to mate defo, first thing I did was look for a token, its just mode itself is so half **** it actually detracts from the star wars atmosphere rather than allow me to enjoy it. Obviously see your points tho.
And yeah I do remember the ridiculous ai strafing from the only time I've tried this before. Played jundland Walker Assault and got immediately pestered by an x wing, thought, 'oh its like that is it' and turned it off.
Why when its so bad
Shame a lot of these maps will eventually die though
It's so bad because it's so bleak. There's one mode that I play and playing on the same maps gets boring. Plus the AI is terrible. If they improved the AI and added everything to it, then it'd be fantastic
Thinking about it there's probably quite a few younger kids playing it.
The stuff dreams are made of
Speaking of dreams, the dreams for Skirmish in this game and the now realized harsh reality of it kind of remind me of a quote from a movie made way back when that was based on a real life event:
Just gotta hope they make up for it next time man
I'm surprised the backlash against it wasn't bigger tbh, quite a few people must have just been glad they at least tried.
Appreciate seeing a multiplayer fan care for other's interests for the benefit of the community as a whole!
I wish another studio took ove
Agreed, i never understood why some ppl on here act like "oh i dont play offline.... so screw those people they shouldnt have fun".
Apathy ... I think more people would have kicked off considering the money they shelled out, but what's the point? EA/Dice are going to do what they want to do regardless of Twitter complaints, threads on here, etc.
I think the only real thing to do is take a long hard look at whether to pre-order and purchase BF2. A large portion of EA/Dice's core audience are going to be a lot more sceptical and cautious come December this year...
That way you could turn off those annoying star fighters,if it was multiplayer would be to busy fighting other star fighters anyway.
