I mean this is mind numbing. It's that bad. Naboo is just a train wreck now and so is Kashyyyk. Then Anytime you play HvV and you see the other side has a purple carded anakin you might as well just quit. In fact after the tanks run their tracks on Naboo or Kashyyyk just quit and if you are on the droid side in CS just quit. This is ridiculous. Literally everyone who plays it agrees he's over powered and I guarantee everyone who plays it will think this nerf is ****. Word of mouth, think about it. If you want the game to sell, Nerf him already. Just lower his health and increase his cool down times.
Blow off the honeymoon, man. Cinnamon buns above all else.
Bro i feel u, thats the number one thing thats ruining the game for me. Retribution. I didnt like the whole one hit kill heroic might **** when they first released him, but i could deal with it and it didnt affect hero showdown much, but it wasnt as bad as retribution. It ruins one on one lightsaber duels because if u have less than 500 hp ur dead, oh excuse me, they gave it a slight nerf so maybe now its like 450, what a difference. Also it said in the CT for anakin it was supposed to do like 150 to troopers and 100 to heroes, dont know what happened to that? It sounded like it would not be an op ability, but i guess i shoulda known better than to trust the BF2 CT and game updates, they always change and/or break things not even mentioned in the patch notes. And dont even get me started on the range, u cant have an ability that one shots heroes from full health and have that much range, someone probably shoulda told em that before they released anakin, twice. They literally gave him TWO room clearing abilities, and i dont think anyone else even has one ability that good, let alone two. If u get caught in retrbution in a large scale game mode ur dead from full health, not even heroes are safe because its basically a stun lock that does damage and then their team can also open fire on u while ur helpless. The thing i dont understand is they put anakin in the game with this ultimate op ability, but in the same update they nerf all the stun locks including kylos freeze which they cut the duration in half or something, and it didnt even do damage. Anakin basically has vaders choke on steroids; it hits everyone around him in a large radius, locks them in place for like 5 or 6 seconds like kylos freeze pre-nerf, knocks them to the ground, it does like 5 times as much damage as vaders choke, oh and did i mention it gives %90 damage reduction for the duratuon of the ability so ur basically invicible while its active. 😔 Also the ability is glitched as well, if someone knocks u out of retribution ie. hits u with a lightsaber attack and u can run around freely again u will still take damage from the ability as if u were still locked in the choke animation. They seriously need to reduce the duration to same time as kylos freeze (would fix the damage issue at the same time) and make it take longer to charge, but keep the range, a simple fix but would clear the issues with it but still make it feel like an ultimate and unique ability to anakin, without it being a one hitter quitter as it currently stands. Also would like to add this ability makes no sense in an "in-universe" perspective because im pretty sure they took this ability straight out of the clone wars episode on mortis when anakin must choose between saving his master or padawan and instead he chose both. The only reason he was able to perform this amazing feat was because of how powerful the force was on the planet and obi-wan even touches on this earlier in the episode and instructs anakin to harness this power because he was the chosen one and he could do so. Sorry for the rant, im just hoping quoting this lengthy rant, then going on one of my own will catch someone on the development team's attention. Maybe this ONE game breaking issue can finally be rectified and the honourable duels can proceed.
Straight up bro, ive be playing since launch and there are many, many, many, many, many issues that have been created with each patch, and no one seems to care or they simply are never fixed, like being able to block force abilities from behind. Idk if thats on all platforms but its been like that for a long time on ps4.
It kept crashing the game (and servers too) when it happened to me.
I know you guys probably wont see this but...
I love this game so much, ive been playing everyday since beta.
I was just curious as to why you guys choose to use a Reddit forum instead of not giving us in game surveys to ask us what we want changed, what we like etc. instead of relying on a forum where a majority of the people argue or vent in a fit of rage and potentially cause this game to have a bad rap to an extent. For example for your community transmissions/updates why not post them all on your website. There are also a large amount of people as well even on the PC platform alone that Don't post or reply on a Reddit like platform as its a public platform and don't feel they can express their true feelings about situations. Like in a class room for example at a school where not many people like to voice their opinion out loud as they are afraid of criticism or harassment.
Now with the whole Anakin drama.... My Main game modes is HVV and GA. Now with Anakin, He is actually a balanced hero to a certain point of view. for HVV and HS, Anakin is quite easy to be defeated, simply by using any of the Villains, like Palpatine for example, if you have the correct star cards and actually understand the hero and how to play them you can quite easily take down a Anakin no matter their skill. like i could give you a list of the other villains but this reply would be like 12 pages long (exaggerated on purpose). Now for GA, Anakin was easily to be understood that he was based on the CS and GA game mode as he has 3 of his ability which are ranged based and AOE, but I think that a large majority of people who complain fail to understand that you guys stated that he was purposely going to be powerful on launch. personally I don't see a huge problem with him. his Heroic Might ability can be dodged by a blaster character rolling, or a saber user blocking with their lightsaber, and for those heroes or character that cant block (Was Maul, and still Palpatine after the update) the people who are playing them need to understand that versing an Anakin is like versing a dark souls boss, you actually require skill and strategy to defeat your opponent. so from my thought process I found it annoying hearing every man and his dog complaining about a hero because they can't just run and shoot pretty lasers at enemies.
In conclusion
If a Nerf is to be done to Anakin then perhaps do what was done with Palatine and just periodically remove him from the game and Rework him as a whole. which i understand could potentially take a long time.
And thank you for reading this message if you did I would really like a reply to this post.
Kind Regards

Community request: infantry only mode
I think this can make Anakin more "balanced" but he is still "a little bit powerfull". I want to shared this for a more "balanced" Anakin Skywalker:
-Retribution: Increase this ability only if they damage your teammates(only team, not you), because Heroics ability makes the retribution skill increase very fast and for more balance for that ability. Maybe reduce a little the damage, because the choke take too much time to end and if you have teammates near, they can shoot them very easily.
- Heroic Might: We have two option here (1) Simple, give him just a charge ability and while you charge you increase your damage and rank or (2) no possible to cancel the Heroic charge and shorten it to do it before. And this will make the enemy have an opportunity to dodge the skill with a perfect timing.
I perform this "balanced" according to these abilities because I can see perfectly that you don't want to totally change the abilities of Anakin, for me that would be the easy way. But I'm not going to leave anakin like that either. And don't judge me, as you can see my favorite character of Star Wars is Anakin Skywalker. I want this "balance" becouse I feel so bad when I use him, very unfair and I tired to see people just pick him for "drestroy everthing"
#CommunityRequest / btw Really nice job with this UPDATE guys
This just simply isn't true. Anakin can be tough to deal with, but the situation is by no means as dire as you're making it out to be. I play a lot. There is no noticeable difference in the win rate between lightside and dark on any game mode. It all depends on the people playing. You people won't be happy until he's useless.
Anakin needs way more nerfing. It's a start, but you're going to just have to have yet ANOTHER round of it once he's still ruining nearly all game modes.
Why do you think Luke needs buff? He's okay.
It's not too bad in HvV. Just have to deal with him. Pay attention. Block and dodge properly. Stick together as a team. However there are definitely some maps in GA ( naboo especially) that he's a game changer and he can almost ( unless team is really bad) single handedly win in CS. I play every day ( even though I've thought about giving up on this game) and this is just what I've noticed
Stop raging they nerfed him hard look below
Reduced Anakin's Pull Dominance base range from 20 to 18 meters.
Reduced Anakin's Retribution range from 20 to 15 meters.
Removed the push effect from Anakin's Passionate Strike
Fixed an issue where Anakin's Retribution ability could be re-triggered too quickly, leading to unwanted cancelling.
Fixed an issue where Anakin's Lightsaber would occasionally turn off during Passionate Strike.
Anakin's deflect stamina has been reduced from 14 to 10 melee attacks.
also fixed your wall of text.
Fixed
I encourage everyone to read this.
@F8RGE
@EA_Charlemagne
@T0TALfps
Fixed and cleared spelling errors and added paragraphs.
I've been saying this since day 1...give Anakin radius nerf or damage decrease the further they are away from the radius. Every other nerf he got was unnecessary.
Yep still going to be a hero spam fest
DICE sadly only listens to the hero players. People who just wanna play big scale trooper action get the middle finger.
@EA_Charlemagne What about that XboxOne Aim drift issue? Please tell me that this is fixd...
However, Anakin's nerf won't be enough for sure. I'm glad that passionate strke is getting nerfed, but retribution dealing so much damage and making enemies stun for so long will make GA as unbalanced as it was before the update. Heroic might need a much lower damage cap too.
But we're going in the right direction !
It’s still a thing, just not the focus of this CT. Expect for it to happen in one of the coming future updates.
I don’t belive it!! An charge issue?? Since the launch of the game?? Not fair, this change the combat and makes the LS with less chances than ever, and ruins the hero LS blaster possibilities agains DS heros, overall saber heros. Please UNDO IT
in an hour for ps4 and in 2 hous for xbox
Wonder if the block now means maul will be more people’s main? He will be mine!
ARCADE CHANGES
Implemented several improvements and bug fixes to Arcade AI:
Yes, thank you soo much Dice for this Arcade AI improvement!!!!
I can finally play a good and exciting Battle in Arcade...
The reason I am so happy is that I play BF2 on a PlayStation 4 and I can't afford to pay the PS PLUS.
PS. I think it is unfair that those who play BF2 on Xbox don't have to pay anything to play online!
What about us that can't afford that stupid PS PLUS!!!!
So that's why I'm so glad about these new changes to ARCADE AI.
How come you have to pay money to play online even if you have the game?
And you do need to pay to play online multiplayer on Xbox.
You need Xbox Live Gold which used to be £40 a year, but is going up to £50 a year
Isn't she lovely?
I’ll be rocking this skin with Leia for the rest of this game’s life, I freaking love it😆🤠
Just wanted to point out that Xbox requires a subriscription much like PlayStation, actually it's been there since the 360 and it's called Xbox live gold.
He has block now, so it's fair enough
And 65,000 credits for Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Iden Versio, Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker do you remember?
The grass does more damage to your speeder than a hero.
Nothings wrong with his abilities tho?
Only thing wrong with his abilities is glitches. 1/2 time the miss completely and can be blocked from behind
