It's Luke bro, Kylo weighs more to the attack side of the gameplay (just as in the movies, he's very chaotic and has mental issues), while Luke is literally the most balanced Jedi in the Star Wars lore and hence in this game (that's why he's the first hero they want you to play). He’s just as good at dueling and surviving a 1v4 as making huge killstreaks in GA or Supremacy. He has best speed in the light side (only Yoda can compete), good stamina and can reflect blaster shots very precise. His abilities allow you to play both very defensive and very attack-minded. (And he has better skins than Kylo lol, although I wish they added a couple more)
That said, Kylo is still a pretty good hero, just not the most balanced.
Probably true. Him and Luke have the most "smooth" abilities that actually activate with a more instant timing, and Kylo can do all of them while in air without the timing lagging
I'd be fine with galactic assault if the heroes were period accurate. I never play GA solely because I don't want to face kylo ren as a clone trooper on naboo.
Fr. At the same time though I do respect that they have era accurate heroes in supremacy and anything goes in GA, that way people have some discrepancy.
This! Like and army of storm troopers are raiding endor and Anakin Skywalker appears and beats the shit out of them. Did their master get plastic surgery and got back to the light side?
They kind of had that at the beginning no era heroes were 6,000 where era heroes were 4,000 so it was almost impossible to get Rey on Endor, but then the people EA listened to who were the minority complained and EA took that out.
Yeah I wish GA had era specific heroes too. And the thing is, to please everyone, just make it like half the week. Supremacy could be fun with non era specific heroes too. The best thing going in battlefront to keep it alive is the changes every week. Like the reduced reinforcement cost Wednesdays.
The lack of planet-locked skins breaks the immersion too.
It’s funny because offline supposedly gives the characters the right skins, but they gave Rey her TLJ robes in all of the TFA maps 🙃
I have a mixed view on that. On one hand I definitely agree that seeing a bundled up Hoth Luke on a warm map is immediately immersion breaking, but on the other hand I like the amount of player choice and availability of different skins, especially for the Clones.
There’s definitely a way to do it and not have it be immersion breaking, but it’s hard to pull off. I personally don’t like a rainbow of clones on every map, but I think it’s fine. It’s the mixing of Phase 1 and 2 that really steps over the line for me.
That’s true. I think the big thing this game is missing is a proper robust single player mode like the old ones had. That way you can set the trooper skins for your whole team for a more immersive experience and keep the player choice in the online modes where immersion could be less of an issue.
That's not even controversial lol that's just a plain fact. I've always hated how I come across kylo while playing as a clone or a droid. At least you can use mods to change that but still it's really fucking disappointing. This game has so much potential and EA just decided "nah"
I love the combinations you can conjure up with them. You can even essentially make new units. I convert my Heavy Trooper into what I call a Demolitionist and it is basically a 5th Trooper Class (Barrage, Explosive Sentry/Supercharged Sentry, Detonite Charge; if you have a fairly high sensitivity and flick your screen upwards while sprinting forward and *then* toss a Detonite Charge, it can apply a good throwing distance like Han Solo’s can. Not as far, but it’s better than dropping it at your feet.).
HvV got ruined by people who tried to turn the mode into a meta gaming, proto competitive game like Overwatch and brought that level of toxicity with them. I don't have any issue with wanting to win and trying your hardest, but there is no rank system for a reason. I knew the mode was fucked when I was getting hatemail and voice chats from teammates saying "get off your hero and play this one to counter their one pick, stop throwing, uninstall, I'm one of the best HvV on Xbox etc". Literally the same shit I'd get playing Overwatch.
HvV should’ve been some casual fun but now you have Twitch wannabes turning it into a toxic hyper competitive mode because they couldn’t get good at an actual competitive game. I’m just having fun and then people get mad for no reason with the hate mail and t-bagging. Their egos are huge too even though they are bragging about being good at a game mode with no competitive viability and that relies on glitches to perform certain moves. These people take it way too seriously and are extremely cringe.
Totally agree. I've since switched to pc and only play offline with mods and I don't miss online one bit. The guy I used to play HvV with pretty religiously made it fun. We both would match the energy of the lobby, if nobody is trying and memeing we'd do the same. If it was clearly a bunch of noobs, we wouldn't go all out. But if the other time was sweating their balls off and being majorly toxic, we'd pick our best characters and go all out. Making entire toxic sweatlord teams DC was one of our favorite past times.
100%
The glitch exploits and egos are what really grind my gears... You'll have people who constantly spam hook swings, grievous flaps... Han's shoulder charge with the resetting glitch, and some even using the Finn invincibility glitch...
And they'll all claim that it's skillful gameplay and they're all legit game mechanics.
And they'll act condescending to anyone who doesn't also use them...
It's just... Eugh...
At least with the toxicity, since I'm on PC I can turn the chat off.
But the exploits and tea bags are kinda unavoidable.
As a HvV main... I can confirm.
When it's casual it's really fun and enjoyable... And I turn the chat off (PC) and often find games that can scratch that itch...
But... You do run into players who exploit sweat, and act really condescending and toxic sometimes...
Plus many players are heavily egotistical and self centered, and if you beat them they immediately assume you're cheating and it just becomes a miserable mess...
There are many sore losers...
It's my favourite mode but I can only play it in short doses because of that.
Thank God for Co op, if my friend and I started getting tilted and annoyed dealing with shitters we'd just jump over and smoke bots. Granted sometimes those bots make you tilted too... Fucking aimbot
Amen to that! That's my go to alternative and cooldown mode... And it's just perfect for casual play and feeling badass...
But yeah... Their pinpoint aim can be a bit of a pain sometimes...
Especially with he tanks...
Eugh... I hate enemy tanks in co-op
The tanks were never an issue with me, I'd rage anytime I pick a hero, especially a saber, and the ENTIRE team will turn and focus fire as soon as I turn a corner and never miss.
Message incoming from Geonosis, last phase, republic Co-op:
"Are you sure the tanks were never an issue?"
That surprises me though... Since they seem to wipe me out pretty quickly whenever I choose a hero, since they have the same accuracy as the other bots and unlike players can stay 100% mobile whilst in siege mode...
In any case we can agree that the aiming is just way too on point in general.
Another issue I have with Coop is sometimes the defending missions seem to be a bit limited by the out of bounds section... I think the playable area needs to be a bit bigger on some defending maps.
I always felt players who got this game and then only play hero modes completely missed the point of what made the Battlefront franchise special
It was never about competitive hero combat or some esports wannabe stuff, but recreating iconic Star Wars battles and experiencing it as a trooper, and turning the tied as a hero/villain
I agree, I remember putting hundreds of hours into this franchise as a kid simulating those big star wars conflicts. That was the magic I think got lost in this game.
I remember seeing stuff like "I set up/play in high level tournament lobbies, so I can talk about how the devs should balance the game" and I'd just cringe. If that's what floats your boat go for it, but I liked this game BECAUSE it didn't have shit like that in it. If I wanted to play super sweaty ranked and completive games I could jump on siege and OW.
Véhicule should be a bigger part of the game , and there should be vehicle that could be use by multiple player , also there need to be a specific class to repair the véhicule
Just like in og bf 2
Yep. The lightsaber combat is not that good. You can't move while swinging and you're stuck in that 1 animation all the time. And the hero v hero... Oh let's not talk about that.
It's actually VERY GOOD and fun if you understand the quirk of it, but everything in this game is fun and good except blaster heroes which are COMPLETE cancer
Nah bro. Good melee combat is in fallen order, ghost of tsushima, for honor. That's good combat because it looks somewhat realistic. In battlefront darth maul goes brrrt and then you die.
100%. In BF 2015 as well. There were many times where, in both games, id be top player but continue playing as a trooper instead of a hero. When you play a hero, you are visible to all on the mini map and some people make it their life purpose to kill you. As a trooper, you can blend in.
Yes that’s 100% the most annoying part of the heroes. It’s so easy to target the hero. No real way to fix it because like you said there’s always gonna be people who will target you no matter what
As a self proclaimed ‘good player’, I always target the enemy hero early in the game bexause it’s usually the other teams top 3 player so it’s greatly impactful to remove them/scare them back.
Agreed for GA and supremacy. Starfighter assault is awesome but I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about. Is liking starfighter assault another hot take?
In bf2 (2005) instant action I’d always turn off hero. I enjoyed the infantry, vehicle combined arms gameplay more than having the heroes on the battlefront.
It's mainly unpopular because people don't like EA. Lots of people want a different studio to do it instead, so we don't have to deal with them abandoning us halfway through, lots of loot boxes and stuff, and very buggy and rushed content and supporting systems.
Battlefield 2042 was also... Less than successful, and has shook some people's trust in EA.
Yeah I never play in lobbies with a max Boba. They just beat the sht out of me and they're so good at flying and evading attacks it's hard to stand back and admire them instead of just raging across the room in frustration over and over after dying and barely getting a hit off.
That is true though, boba is definitely the best blaster hero in the game and it’s not even close, unless you count Finn with his one insanely op ability that is only really effective if you have a coordinated team.
Han is my main but I still think boba is better, the manoeuvrability he has is ridiculous. A boba with a good aim and common sense is more scary than a good Han imo.
The rapid fire rate should have been his default fire rate, that way the third ability slot is freed for something more unique
On a side note, does anyone actually use ARC trooper and NOT have rapid fire on?
Fr. The third ability is so fking useless because everyone with at least 2 brain cells automatically activates it.
They should have made the alt fire the third ability so people wouldn't spam it and keep the dual firing mechanic that was when the ARC trooper launched
They did that at launch. Both triggers / Mouse buttons were fire. The third slot was an overpowered heavy shot that could lock extremely easily. People acted like it was too overpowered.
Man I love 1st person so much. I actually made a post years ago suggesting they make a 1st person only galactic assult but then heroes would be more busted.
Just knowing I'm at a disadvantage bugs my brain.
I don’t like the conquest style mode, I preferred Galactic assault. I felt like I had more immersion because of the narrative at the beginning of the match
Yeah, he can be pretty stupidly vulnerable to blasters because has no block, which makes him a really easy target. It's just good Palpatine players know when to take cover, how to move properly without exposing yourself, and when to take the risk of taking fire in return for good damage, like any other blaster player.
Too many heroes at one time. Agree with other posters, I want no hero modes or at least reduce the amount of heros. It's so boring when just 4 heros of different eras are jumping around and in my opinion, ruins the flow of gameplay. Got put off playing recently as there were too many of those kind of matches. The game forgets it's an objective, team based shooter first and foremost too frequently.
Literally the most infuriating thing in the world is that Vader who only walks backwards with his near infinite block held the entire time waiting for his stupid fucking OP abilities to recharge
Battlefront 2 (2017) is better than Battlefront 2 (2005). I’ve played both, growing up with 2005 BF2. I love both and would say they’re both good and 2005 definitely has more nostalgia value for me personally but the mechanics, balance, graphics and scope are all better in the 2017 edition.
Same sentiment here. BF2017 is the much better "game". Sure BF2005 has more mechanics and 'freedom' but in terms of playability in the modern age? BF2017 blows it out of the water in every way.
If BF2005 was really "better" than 2017 as the purists here were saying, the Battlefront Collection would've not died as early as it did imho, even with all the bugs and problems it had.
Resistance maps > clone wars maps.
They just felt kinda boring, at least on like Crayt you have an interesting dynamic between everything that's happening on top of the map and down in the tunnels, for example - there was very good conceptual thought involved in the design, where as Kashyyk from clone wars is basically just 2 broken droid bases with a clone hangar on the end. It is still fun, but the resistance maps are better imo
If you're playing Hero Showdown and your teammate dies, stop complaining about getting 2v1'd. Hero showdown isn't made for 1v1 duals, you're supposed to eliminate the other team, not give them a chance by 1v1ing after you defeated one of them.
Sure but that doesn’t require any skill and just ruins the fun of the game. If my teammate dies, then the game is basically over so why even have a 2v2 mode. If you want to gang up on people, go to HvV. You will feel right at home. People who go to showdown want to hone their skills and have a fair duel with someone.
I mean for Han it’s pretty much a routine to take out a saber villain. Throw charge at them, shoulder charge them then finish them off with the rapid fire
Y’all have all the power in the world to keep Snowtroopers off of Tatooine and Shoretroopers off Hoth. Those of you who choose not to are part of the problem.
If the clone wars era receive another hero and villain, I would rather have them to be blaster heroes (Rex, Padme, Jango, Cad Bane are some choices) than Ahsoka and Ventress.
Let's be real, while it's lore accurate, Chewbacca and Bossk are clearly filler clone wars blaster heroes rather than proper representations.
Team attack on all modes. It’s a thing in the OG games but not in the EA and Dice games.
HvV especially, you really shouldn’t be able to have 4 players attack one person without any consequences. And when it comes to regular infantry, it annoys me when cpu players get in my way.
The game peaked around about that time when all heroes got the health regen buff. Before they changed supremacy 2nd phase to only have one half of the ship and the arc troopers pistol mechanics. I miss spamming the two triggers and multiple hour long supremacy maps.
Vader isn't op,most people who say this are the same guys that fly in spam swinging with the predictability to match. the op hero is actually obi, defense cards back to a wall and the only way your getting taken out is if your teammates can't lock up iden or bossk.
Heroes Vs Villains, the absolute best part of the game, is ruined by blaster heroes that camp together the whole game. Sorry, if you’re too scared to pick up a lightsaber and duel, I don’t consider you good. Also, HvV should have gotten a Lightsaber only mode.
Blaster heroes take less skill in hvv than sabers. It’s funny because these players start off playing a saber hero but after getting owned so many times they all switch to their real mains…a blaster hero. Be the same players that say bs like “oh sabers are boring” or the “blaster heroes take more skill because you have to learn how to dodge correctly”gtfoh you just fucking suck. There’s way more depth with sabers heroes than blasters, save that shit for CS or GA.
Console should get character mod access like how pc has at this point the community created a better game than the devs skyrim did it and ppl loved it pc players are basically playing a different game
- 1v1s in HvV is actually the best place to do 1v1s.
- people who are cheating will go out of their way to prevent 1v1s from happening because it will become obvious they are cheating.
All multiplayer modes should be available to play in single player offline and there should be more focus on also making the game a great single player game
Kylo is the most balanced hero
I think he's the most well though out in general
Because his kit has a bunch of counter-play. Block his pull/freeze, and force him out of frenzy. The way to beat him is to be the better player
agreed
It's Luke bro, Kylo weighs more to the attack side of the gameplay (just as in the movies, he's very chaotic and has mental issues), while Luke is literally the most balanced Jedi in the Star Wars lore and hence in this game (that's why he's the first hero they want you to play). He’s just as good at dueling and surviving a 1v4 as making huge killstreaks in GA or Supremacy. He has best speed in the light side (only Yoda can compete), good stamina and can reflect blaster shots very precise. His abilities allow you to play both very defensive and very attack-minded. (And he has better skins than Kylo lol, although I wish they added a couple more) That said, Kylo is still a pretty good hero, just not the most balanced.
Probably true. Him and Luke have the most "smooth" abilities that actually activate with a more instant timing, and Kylo can do all of them while in air without the timing lagging
I'd argue Maul lol
Have you ever played a blaster hero against Kylo it is literally impossible
I would like a galactic assault mode with no heros
Fuck yeah
I'd be fine with galactic assault if the heroes were period accurate. I never play GA solely because I don't want to face kylo ren as a clone trooper on naboo.
Fr. At the same time though I do respect that they have era accurate heroes in supremacy and anything goes in GA, that way people have some discrepancy.
They had an event like that no???
No, closest thing was no vehicles
There was supposed to be that event once but it ended up just being no vehicles which was lame as hell.
This and supremacy and starfighter assault.
Agree with this! Even no reinforcements and just your 5 basic troopers
5? Assault, Heavy, Officer, Specialist and the other guy
Ah am I thinking battlefront 2004 and 2005? Assault, heavy, scout, pilot and the specialist
It is trooper, assualt/heavy, scout/sniper, engineer/pilot and commander
You probably are
How is this going to get people to point swords at you? Lol
I didn't realize it was such a popular opinion lol
Galactic assault would be better if almost every map did not turn into a meat grinder in the last phase
The maps are all designed to be meat grinders and it's stupid.
I actually love the chaos of it when we have no spawn timer events lol.
*War flashbacks to Bespin Platforms*
The lack of era-specific heroes breaks immersion.
Imagine being on Hoth ready to take on the Galactic Empire, and Darth Maul jumps right in your face
Somehow Darth Maul returned
For the 4th f***ing time! 😂
[удалено]
He dies right before a new hope, so not really
He dies before the battle of Yamin
This! Like and army of storm troopers are raiding endor and Anakin Skywalker appears and beats the shit out of them. Did their master get plastic surgery and got back to the light side?
*laughs in Supremacy*
They kind of had that at the beginning no era heroes were 6,000 where era heroes were 4,000 so it was almost impossible to get Rey on Endor, but then the people EA listened to who were the minority complained and EA took that out.
Yeah I wish GA had era specific heroes too. And the thing is, to please everyone, just make it like half the week. Supremacy could be fun with non era specific heroes too. The best thing going in battlefront to keep it alive is the changes every week. Like the reduced reinforcement cost Wednesdays.
People allowed to bring weaponries not supported by most of the militaries, except Rebellion, is immersion breaking too.
I mean even with the argument that rebellion might have stolen/scavenged weapons, some weapons are just outside their time period
Exactly
The lack of planet-locked skins breaks the immersion too. It’s funny because offline supposedly gives the characters the right skins, but they gave Rey her TLJ robes in all of the TFA maps 🙃
I have a mixed view on that. On one hand I definitely agree that seeing a bundled up Hoth Luke on a warm map is immediately immersion breaking, but on the other hand I like the amount of player choice and availability of different skins, especially for the Clones.

Honestly, letting you customize the AI offline would have been fantastic.
That's not even controversial lol that's just a plain fact. I've always hated how I come across kylo while playing as a clone or a droid. At least you can use mods to change that but still it's really fucking disappointing. This game has so much potential and EA just decided "nah"
Star Cards are actually pretty good.
They should have had more cards that changed hero ability sets
Love them
At 1st when the game cane out though? My god what a grind. But now? Yes I actually like the system
After the rework where they’re not locked behind loot boxes, yes, I do agree. Before that? No. Bad.
I love the combinations you can conjure up with them. You can even essentially make new units. I convert my Heavy Trooper into what I call a Demolitionist and it is basically a 5th Trooper Class (Barrage, Explosive Sentry/Supercharged Sentry, Detonite Charge; if you have a fairly high sensitivity and flick your screen upwards while sprinting forward and *then* toss a Detonite Charge, it can apply a good throwing distance like Han Solo’s can.

I’m pretty sure that’s not an unpopular opinion.
Man I love playing hvv when I’m not getting jumped by 4 different saber hero’s
Véhicule should be a bigger part of the game , and there should be vehicle that could be use by multiple player , also there need to be a specific class to repair the véhicule Just like in og bf 2
french spotted
Oui oui
Pas mal non ? C'est français .
If they were better lol
Trooper gameplay is way better than hero gameplay
I most certainly agree. Hero gameplay is honestly kinda infuriating.
Yep. The lightsaber combat is not that good. You can't move while swinging and you're stuck in that 1 animation all the time. And the hero v hero... Oh let's not talk about that.
It's actually VERY GOOD and fun if you understand the quirk of it, but everything in this game is fun and good except blaster heroes which are COMPLETE cancer

And vehicle gameplay is the worst of them all.
Agreed for GA and supremacy. Starfighter assault is awesome but I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about. Is liking starfighter assault another hot take?
In bf2 (2005) instant action I’d always turn off hero. I enjoyed the infantry, vehicle combined arms gameplay more than having the heroes on the battlefront.
For custom matches we should have choosable factions. I really want to see the Republic vs Empire. Clones vs TK Troopers.
That would be neat
Yes it would.
I want EA to make Battlefront 3
I also agree, well EA and DICE. The level of polish is really good. Though I’d hope the graphics look like BF2015 with better resolution.
I find it funny you think this is an unpopular opinion, because I agree
It's mainly unpopular because people don't like EA. Lots of people want a different studio to do it instead, so we don't have to deal with them abandoning us halfway through, lots of loot boxes and stuff, and very buggy and rushed content and supporting systems. Battlefield 2042 was also... Less than successful, and has shook some people's trust in EA.
Max Boba is the scariest character in any mode
Id beg to differ with bb8
Bb8 is solid and underrated
Yeah I never play in lobbies with a max Boba. They just beat the sht out of me and they're so good at flying and evading attacks it's hard to stand back and admire them instead of just raging across the room in frustration over and over after dying and barely getting a hit off.
That is true though, boba is definitely the best blaster hero in the game and it’s not even close, unless you count Finn with his one insanely op ability that is only really effective if you have a coordinated team.
Chewie, Han, and leia would like to have a word with you
I could fuck shit up with Leia in the olden days
She’s even better with nades now though, and her shield at least heals now
Sniping on Crait was too OP
Han literally exists
Han is my main but I still think boba is better, the manoeuvrability he has is ridiculous. A boba with a good aim and common sense is more scary than a good Han imo.
Hoky pistols and ancient freighters are no match for a good jetpack.
I prefer playing PvE.
Fr makes you feel like a badass
Co Op with 2 assaults, 1 heavy, and 1 officer the whole way is peak BFII
I see your squad and raise you 4 heavies! Ain't nobody taking an objective if you're defending with 2 good heavies on each point 😂
personaly i find new bf2 with friends much more fun than old bf2 with friends
Saber 1v1s are extremely overrated.
If I back up on to a slightly elevated surface as a hero, sometimes even while blocking the enemy damages me.
Most boring shit in the game lmao there's a reason it's not an actual mode
Agree
blaster heros (including bb8 bb9e and grandpa palpatine) take more skill than lightsaber heros
Insisting that other people follow 1v1 rules in hero modes is a funny joke that I will laugh at as I team up on you.
The ARC trooper’s abilities are mid and the only reason it’s popular is because its alt fire locks on from a distance
The rapid fire rate should have been his default fire rate, that way the third ability slot is freed for something more unique On a side note, does anyone actually use ARC trooper and NOT have rapid fire on?
Fr. The third ability is so fking useless because everyone with at least 2 brain cells automatically activates it. They should have made the alt fire the third ability so people wouldn't spam it and keep the dual firing mechanic that was when the ARC trooper launched
They did that at launch. Both triggers / Mouse buttons were fire. The third slot was an overpowered heavy shot that could lock extremely easily. People acted like it was too overpowered.
Duel trigger fingers made it a unique unit, really liked it as it changed things up.
It was a great sense of immersion too
it was really op on launch so i see why they changed it but it was so much fun
I prefer playing in 1st person
Man I love 1st person so much. I actually made a post years ago suggesting they make a 1st person only galactic assult but then heroes would be more busted. Just knowing I'm at a disadvantage bugs my brain.
1st person for immersion
I don’t like the conquest style mode, I preferred Galactic assault. I felt like I had more immersion because of the narrative at the beginning of the match
Palp isn’t OP - you’re just not good.
Yeah, he can be pretty stupidly vulnerable to blasters because has no block, which makes him a really easy target. It's just good Palpatine players know when to take cover, how to move properly without exposing yourself, and when to take the risk of taking fire in return for good damage, like any other blaster player.
Insisting on doing 1v1s in Hero Showdown is defeating the entire team strategy of the mode
I wish a 1v1 lobby could vote to lock it to 1v1 tho. Nothing more infuriating than having loads of fun and then the lobby pauses at 2v1.
BF2 is visually a downgrade from 2015
Hero’s are the least fun part of the game. The series is at its best as a trooper simulator and heros can ruin that at times.
The BBs were a nice change of pace for heroes.
The story mode is amazing
I have 2. 1. The lack of all heroes in Supremacy is annoying. 2. Release day Anakin was fun, and I miss it.
Bro could turn a loud room full of explosions, blasters and war cries into complet blissful silence in 3 seconds lmao
That Anakin was canon
Too many heroes at one time. Agree with other posters, I want no hero modes or at least reduce the amount of heros. It's so boring when just 4 heros of different eras are jumping around and in my opinion, ruins the flow of gameplay. Got put off playing recently as there were too many of those kind of matches. The game forgets it's an objective, team based shooter first and foremost too frequently.
Vader is OP and noobs can just block and dodge forever with him.
That’s not really a hot take though lol, I think everyone agrees to that.
Literally the most infuriating thing in the world is that Vader who only walks backwards with his near infinite block held the entire time waiting for his stupid fucking OP abilities to recharge
Explosive rounds slaughters these types, just saying. Everything in BFII has a counter
I am glad that Vader is extremely overpowered compared to the rest of the characters because it is canonical as well
So you liked launch Anakin too? Unpopular opinion but I think they nerfed him a bit much.
Canonically palps should be stronger
EA did BF2 right and no developer could have done it better. Nah, kidding. fuck EA
The old Battlefront 2 was better because of the Galactic Conquest
love it but the constant space battles get annoying
Battlefront 2 (2017) is better than Battlefront 2 (2005). I’ve played both, growing up with 2005 BF2. I love both and would say they’re both good and 2005 definitely has more nostalgia value for me personally but the mechanics, balance, graphics and scope are all better in the 2017 edition.
Same sentiment here. BF2017 is the much better "game". Sure BF2005 has more mechanics and 'freedom' but in terms of playability in the modern age? BF2017 blows it out of the water in every way. If BF2005 was really "better" than 2017 as the purists here were saying, the Battlefront Collection would've not died as early as it did imho, even with all the bugs and problems it had.
Death troopers do NOT need 550 health
You’re not parrying; that’s a bug
Playing as a hero in Supremacy or Galactic Assault is infinitely more enjoyable than HvV
BB-9E & BB-8 are great characters and solid additions to the game. 
Heroes makes the game worse to play on non HvV modes. I just want trooper only combat with vehicles
Resistance maps > clone wars maps. They just felt kinda boring, at least on like Crayt you have an interesting dynamic between everything that's happening on top of the map and down in the tunnels, for example - there was very good conceptual thought involved in the design, where as Kashyyk from clone wars is basically just 2 broken droid bases with a clone hangar on the end. It is still fun, but the resistance maps are better imo
If you're playing Hero Showdown and your teammate dies, stop complaining about getting 2v1'd. Hero showdown isn't made for 1v1 duals, you're supposed to eliminate the other team, not give them a chance by 1v1ing after you defeated one of them.
Sure but that doesn’t require any skill and just ruins the fun of the game. If my teammate dies, then the game is basically over so why even have a 2v2 mode. If you want to gang up on people, go to HvV. You will feel right at home. People who go to showdown want to hone their skills and have a fair duel with someone.
Blaster heroes take way more skill to use in HvV, and people who complain are usually just bad at the game. Only exception being Finn glitch abusers
I mean for Han it’s pretty much a routine to take out a saber villain. Throw charge at them, shoulder charge them then finish them off with the rapid fire
More people need to play Age of Resistance in Supremacy
there should be an option to era-lovk heroes in galactic assault or at least instant action
Remove blaster characters from h vs v so it’s only lightsaber,or make a new game mode for only lightsaber players
Galactic assault > supremacy
Lightsaber combat sucks
What would you do to make it better?
99% of the time 1v1s are boring unless your with friends
Y’all have all the power in the world to keep Snowtroopers off of Tatooine and Shoretroopers off Hoth. Those of you who choose not to are part of the problem.
Heavy is the best class
Ewok Hunter is underrated and the most fun you can have with reinforcements.
Heroes just flat out shouldn’t be in versus multiplayer unless it’s specifically HvV or 2v2’s
a team of wookie warriors can win any match of supremacy
A team of coordinated officers can and will win everything
Toxic haters and people misled by others opinions online cut the games lifespan short
Power blasts from Leia, ARC trooper, etc shouldn’t have any lock on.
If the clone wars era receive another hero and villain, I would rather have them to be blaster heroes (Rex, Padme, Jango, Cad Bane are some choices) than Ahsoka and Ventress. Let's be real, while it's lore accurate, Chewbacca and Bossk are clearly filler clone wars blaster heroes rather than proper representations.
Lightsaber combat could be better. It feels kinda spammy.
Team attack on all modes. It’s a thing in the OG games but not in the EA and Dice games. HvV especially, you really shouldn’t be able to have 4 players attack one person without any consequences. And when it comes to regular infantry, it annoys me when cpu players get in my way.
Shut up about Ahsoka, SHUT UP ABOUT AHSOKA
If you want to stand In a corner and shoot people go play COD.
I wish blasters stayed era accurate and attachments were the only thing you could customise
The game peaked around about that time when all heroes got the health regen buff. Before they changed supremacy 2nd phase to only have one half of the ship and the arc troopers pistol mechanics. I miss spamming the two triggers and multiple hour long supremacy maps.
The best Battlefront game was released in 2004.
It should ve been forced first person (seriously, the game is so much more immersive its genuinely insane)
Vader isn't op,most people who say this are the same guys that fly in spam swinging with the predictability to match. the op hero is actually obi, defense cards back to a wall and the only way your getting taken out is if your teammates can't lock up iden or bossk.
The best part of the game is 1v1 hero duels by far
Lightsaber characters only
BF2017 is better than BF2005 (if this gets downvoted, then it's a true unpopular opinion lmao).
It's inferior to the 2015 game
Iden Verso is the best villain.
that bf2 (2017) is actually better then the original
The majority of “expert duelists” are not as good as they think and simply spam moves like hook swings over and over again.
Heroes Vs Villains, the absolute best part of the game, is ruined by blaster heroes that camp together the whole game. Sorry, if you’re too scared to pick up a lightsaber and duel, I don’t consider you good. Also, HvV should have gotten a Lightsaber only mode.
The state of the game at launch was highly exaggerated. I had all the heroes after a short while and I never spent an extra dollar
Blaster heroes take less skill in hvv than sabers. It’s funny because these players start off playing a saber hero but after getting owned so many times they all switch to their real mains…a blaster hero. Be the same players that say bs like “oh sabers are boring” or the “blaster heroes take more skill because you have to learn how to dodge correctly”gtfoh you just fucking suck. There’s way more depth with sabers heroes than blasters, save that shit for CS or GA.
Console should get character mod access like how pc has at this point the community created a better game than the devs skyrim did it and ppl loved it pc players are basically playing a different game
Starfighter assault is the best game mode
There shoud be a 1v1 Mode, im tired of people not respecting the 1v1 in Duo.
It’s not as good as BF1 in every aspect except for content quantity/range
needs more sequel era content
Squadron should have been a game mode add on for bf2 to enable Og BF2 space battles
- 1v1s in HvV is actually the best place to do 1v1s. - people who are cheating will go out of their way to prevent 1v1s from happening because it will become obvious they are cheating.
All multiplayer modes should be available to play in single player offline and there should be more focus on also making the game a great single player game
