It is unavoidable... It is your .. destiny.. .
No skill necessary. Just mash buttons as fast as possible and opponents around you will automatically die.
Sooner or later you'll hear "don't get up on my account" and just die.
I think we need a new All Time Low thread.
From an infantrys pov it kinda is at an all time low.
With all the stuff going on during a game I would really like more options in equipping my trooper.
I understand that the restrictions within the classes make sense to balance them amongst themselves, which they are-
But with the additions to the game we are way past balancing infantry.
Weapons should be reworked, some nerfs reverted. Ion shot should be toggled on and off upon need [edit:] or the damage reduction against non-vehicles should be decreased.
Starcards should be reworked.
Every class should have an anti-hero tool like the stinger.
Left/right restrictions of cards should be lifted.
A focused feedback: troopers
is needed
Perhaps F8RGE gives this some thought during his vacation 🏖
Yes, the concept I have in mind would change the default for all droid classes to the normal beige/sand-color.
Agree, work with what we already have I guess.
I think it’s time to just revert back to BF15 with no base 4 classes
Too few viable options for the large modes; with all the additions to the battlefield the troopers guns are underperforming in their nerfed state. Especially ion weaponry needs a good look at.
Inspired by ID_8615 I thought about doing stats of my deaths, but I’m ultimately too lazy: just a fraction of my deaths is by the hand of other troopers. It’s mostly heroes, reinforcements or tanks.
It’s so much fun to die (with one interruption) 6 times in a row to the same Darth Maul who was roaming my spawn points and farming infantry. What a nice person.
Something has to happen, and I would beg the devs to urgently look at the weapons we have and make them better again. How many guns that were good/op aren’t used by anyone anymore?
No, try again
Okay it translates into "we are EA, we are a business, your ideas won't make us money, not everyone's a trooper fanatic, most ppl love unique heroes tanks etc" ez
Heroes and tanks don’t make them money either, nothing does really.....soooooo......?
You must be joking-Doomfist
There are a lot of clone skins to be precise, not so much for the other factions - but that’s besides the point. Have all the hero skins you want.
But it’s time to focus on some real trooper content other than skins.
Spoken like a poet.
I completely get how popular the heroes are but looking to the future of Battlefront I think both ground pounders and the crutch lords can all agree that we all want this series to be a massive success.
As it is from my perspective it isn't the Heroes that put me off this particular game, it's just how uninspiring and simplistic the core Infantry gameplay is.
Investing in more infantry based shooter mechanics and modes will bring in a huge section of the gaming community, just look at the size of franchises like Battlefield, CoD etc. Please note I don't want to turn Battlefront into CoD, this game has it's own identity, but Infantry/Shooter experience is a large part of that identity and it's really not good enough.
This isn't about taking content away from heroes, it's about keeping infantry content on par with Heroes to provide a better all round experience to appeal to even more players. The more people that engage with Battlefront the more Dice can reinvest into the game in terms of content for both Hero and Infantry, we all win.
Agree, I’m also not put off by the heroes and actually they play well, smooth and fluid. There’s just wat to many of them at one time with no downtime. That said the infantry plays just the opposite imo, it’s slow, clunky, not tight or smooth like he last game, and ttk is outrageous. It just feels 2nd rate compared to the last game and other shooters imo.
It’s also not just the bad gunplay and bad movement, there’s the issue of modes, there’s really no good small modes and the game has bad balance issues. Then add to that no priivate matches and nothing that has any real replay value and it just feels flat. Infantry definitely needs a makeover and this game needs to get back to being a shooter imo.
I believe a more skillbased, more competitive infantry type game will bring back an entire playerbase that’s missing from this game. That includes the 99.9% of everyone I played with on bf15 that left this game over a year ago.
this guy is banned more than me.
Seems there’s a constant influx of new heroplayers to the forum, while there’s a (partially involuntary) exodus of infantry players. Good for you, Dice 👍🏻
So, apparently last months survey showed not enough requests for weapons to make it into the top 4 requests, and I haven’t had much hope for an infantry mode anyways.
What do the players want? More heroes and reinforcements to further the imbalance in this game.
What a great playerbase, that lives for spamming high tier units to farm weaker ones.
I bet the constant kill-bings let herobrains endorphins flow, while my gaming sessions are regularly cut short due to constant tag-team-hero deaths 🤮
Dodge nerf, saberlocks- killing infantry with one-button-kill mechanics is a real achievement.
Next round of nerfs most likely to vehicles and stinger pistols for ruining hero players experience. We can’t let that happen.
Infantry not Star Wars-y enough?
This game is not Battlefront-y enough, and you’re doing not much to fix it, Dice.
Your hero indulgence ruined what could have been the ultimate SW game for a wide spectrum of gamers.
And yeah it sucks that DICE basicly doesnt give a F about the name "Battlefront"... its basicly a very mediocre Star Wars Hero Slasher/Shooter at this point with some weaker units here and there to farm kills..
I just don’t understand why we lost all those game modes from the previous game, that many players still have fond memories of.
All the weapons, all the customization... I just don’t get it.
I don’t “accept“ the lootbox fiasco as an excuse, these things should‘ve been in this game day one.
None of us expects a perfect layout for something like Turning Point, I would absolutely play on badly desingned maps to test it out, give feedback about the cap points to improve it. Or even just GA w/o heroes. Please, make it happen. I hate to say it but if Battlefront 3 happens, and it doesn’t include a proper trooper mode at launch, I’m out. They basically told us that they took inspiration from Battlefield games during development. Clearly, it had nothing to do with infantry.
And with the current struggles at DICE im not going to buy any game from them anymore. Battlefront 2 is a mess and Battlefield V is even worse...
They lost waaaay too much key talent... I would rather see Disney/Lucas opening a new Dev Studio for Battlefront and let someone work on this franchise that cares about its name and intention (it was never about heroes, never)
Hell i rather take a Battlefield or Call of Duty with Star Wars Skin over the current mediocre game at any day.
Funny enough the cancelled Star Wars First Assault was basicly CoD: Star Wars...
Another thing i would love to see is a 1st person only mode/server.. would elminate the corner peaking.
Just look at the games history, anytime a valid weapon or anything that resembles a modern shooter is put in the nerf cries come pouring in immediately. Basically if anything threatens the saber hero crowd or bad/new players it’s nerf time.
Again, it’s basically anything that kills a hero or has a normal ttk around here gets the attention of the nerf police. Look at the past blurgg, or the es heavy, or older specialists, and now we’re getting calls for vehicle nerfs because they kill or can run over heroes.
Thing is they actually do want infantry just in a weak, slow, clunky, with minimal gunplay and a low skill ceiling. Notice how most hero mains don’t want a mode like HU to be permanent, that’s because it’s balanced and they can’t farm weaker infantry. This game ino barely qualifies as a shooter and it’s not a good one other that the StarWars skin.
We have minimal calls for cargo, dropzone, a high skill curve, more weapons, competitive gameplay, private matches, better gunplay, stats( oh and by the way for the anti kd/stat guys, now we have scrub Kamikazes that suck running around subsideing with no penalty), but the top items are all basic things that modern shooters should have imo.
Anything and everything revolves around heroes, in particular saber heroes, and how they’re affected. Even blaster heroes take a back seat to sabers, so low level infantry has no chance imo. I’ll say again, I’m hoping for a bf3 announcement soon and hope they go back to making battlefront a shooter.
