Gamer's Hideout having Pre-order program for those who wanna get Battlefront II.



LINK

requirements not out yet

is it the same company that made battlefront 1 that was hack

and didnt care abt it?

soo they finally solved the hack...by selling bf2? haha

The trailer is too good to be true lol, meanwhile, EA is giving out free season pass for BF1, rmb to grab it

Tips to get free Battlefront 2 beta code

anyone having slow download speeds for the open beta? on unifi 50mbps

still getting 5mbps on download with starhub. how's slow is your slow?
anyway, origin download is always slower than steam dl for me by 9x times roughly.

strike mode somewhat like battlefield+overwatch

need to move crate till dropzone

but less chaotic because only 8vs8

WTF .. with Beta .. i cant play .. blank screen with sound sad.gif

i7 4970k
gtx980
ram 16gb

turn off any 3rd party monitoring apps.
does your game run at full screen or window after press launch?

mine start with full->window->crash.
2nd time full->window->alt+enter=full screen play.

i just using Windows defender

Game just felt like COD/BF for me.. the first one didn't felt like that much.. I guess they just use the same stuff and just reskin lol... also i don't think i'll fall for the trick again.. triple the content they said.. i bet it's not worth the 60usd price.

Matchmaking is a serious issue.. slow and took forever.. dead game before it even launched? that's what some are saying lol

pretty good

matchmaking fine for us. but we all canceled for other reasons like ping and gameplay issues.

hmmm...i'm getting games quite fast. less than 30 sec in any of the game mode.
well, not going to get it unless they gave me the star wars that is all about the FORCE!!

Last time i bought battlefront pc version while can search for players but it takes really long,i surprised theres more players on ps4 than pc version for a fps game,but not sure this time though because im not gonna buy this one sadly,because i like the graphics(very realistic-ish) and the sound of the game.

Weird then.. wonder why. Maybe i played it too early? it was definitely right after it goes live. Also ping no issue either and my internet also 30mbps.

For some reason this new one somehow did 't appeal to me compared to the first one EA made. Maybe I just hate EA more now cuz of how they handled Mass Effect lol. Or maybe I just rather not fall for the same trick again. It felt like game wise the content is still lacking.. Looks barebone to me like the first game. Altho they claimed it will have 3x more content.. just didn't think it's worth 60usd

This is true. 100% sure the console version will have more players by 5x more or 10 fold at launch. I'm also sad regarding that when buying on PC knowing that it takes very long on the first game..

one thing i hate playing fps using pc is because of the cheaters. It spoils the game entirely. If i can use keyboard and mouse on consoles i definitely play using consoles, hack proof.

maybe hack proof. but definitely not hardware hacking proof. try lag switching (both PC & console have it) or rapid fire mods.

the real problem is EA (and to some extent, Activillian's COD series) doesn't use a good enough anticheat tool.
Unlike Blizzard, Valve (VAC) and even Ubisoft (battle eye).

DX 12 keep crashing

Err it's only beta and there's only 3 maps to play compared to 11 maps for galactic conquests and 5 starfighter assault maps for the launch version.
The only slow matchmaking i encountered was for starfighter assault and sometimes strike map, and level cap is 10 for beta.I guess ppl stopped playing after they reached it.

err i have my 2nd thought after i play the beta it totally screw up the game with greedy loot crate progression.. it a next gen triple A mobile game. Pay 2 win game.



This post has been edited by chriswoo: Oct 9 2017, 04:36 PM

yeah the fact that character progression is locked behind loot crates is going backwards. that is why we told our whole community to not buy the game.

i'm ok with the loot crates for cosmetics but EA taking stuff too far and it effect gameplay progression with must have loot crate ? totally BS unplayable game ever and multiplayer scheme pay to win like all mobile free game and worst they charging full 60 bucks. I never support such BS marketing scheme. I'm worry that Anthem will get this treatment too specially random drop item.

FYI, battlefront 1 is on sale. 5.81 for ultimate edition. Not sure sgd or usd.

in sgd

The game itself plays much better than Battlefront 1. Definitely a good giveaway or cheap discount purchase will be considered.

Game Rating : 9.5/10 (As long the playerbase is stable and not dropping)

For Battlefront 1 it's below 8/10 because it doesn't have many contents like the current one.

^I voiced out with my wallet years ago after what they've done with Battlefield 3

Reddit is already boycotting the game due to the stupid gambling bullshit they implemented. If you support this game then later get ready for more EA titles to start shipping out gambling crates.
Do not support or buy this game. Stupid developer and publisher think they can do whatever they want. Already charging for Expansion DLC and now gambling crates.
Soon you wait and see they will sell play time. Top up to gain more play time. Keep getting greedier and greedier.

boycott of EA (not star wars) is in full swing. Don't get me wrong. I like Star Wars alot. Saw all the original trilogy in the theaters (and watched the X'mas special, we shall not talk about that further), but EA is really messing up the genre and gaming overall.

I cannot stop you from buying this game, it is still your choice and your hard earned money, but we've all heard folks talk about taking a stand, won't happen while we continue to buy from EA etc, well I say now's the time to take that stand and send EA a message that the rest of the world is also doing.

Plus I understand NFS Payback is also facing issues with paid DLC or some such.

Already our mini-community have 20+ who committed to not buy the game, just last night some I know cancelled the PC version (took them awhile).

#boycottEA

EA seems take a step backwards. this morning they reduce the hero cost by 75% after the reddit rage.

Battlefront 2 is a great and fun game. lootcrate replace of DLC for money earning has draw a big backslash to player. if ppl were not thinking that much and just want to enjoy the game its a good game, else just ignore this game.

personally still on the fench of buying or not as the gameplay is really good and fun. been testing it in beta and the early access 10 hours. but will this game last or not it cant be sure as SEA community always smaller for multiplayer game. also scare of EA....

Anyone got some comment sharing?

If got time have a look for this video, nice talk there i think

I wholeheartedly urge you not to get the game, please. I thought it would not get worse than the Battlefield series but i'm wrong.

https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefron..._tell_you_what/
Look at the thread regarding EA's PR strategy, it is utterly unacceptable and pathetic.

And i quote someone from reddit, "Basically said that EA would put their "worst" foot out to see what the reaction would be, then they make it "player acceptable" later on, that way people would think they are actually listening to player feedback."

Sickening cash grab game. Was actually looking forward to it. EA sigh why so greedy. You see CSGO model and thought hey let's get the gambling feature in this game.
Well playerbase in SEA already small now with this drama GG SEA playerbase. No point even trying to play this soon to be dead game.

EA will bring microtransactions back later. May have won this battle, but the war rages on! Shall continue to fight EA.

Don't trust this company. Goddamn "Later Date" BS.
Thank god FORTNITE is so enjoyable. Not even 1 week and the viewership for BF2 has dropped so much on Twitch.

These idiots need to feel the "FORCE"

how this game match making work?
does they have sea server?
i am about to buy it, but this news.......

i personally do not have the game, maybe someone who has it can correct me.

historically Battlefield 1 is now HK and Japan servers.
SW Battlefront 1, I not sure about local servers, but when i jumped late to the party (nearly a year after launch), I was playing on US servers.

previously BF4 have SG server, now left HK and JP server??
and play in US server the ping time will be 120ms+ ?

Lol ea and their jewery

and it was true. the amount of credits u earned during multiplayer does not take into account how well you performed in a match. (confirmed via friends who gotten the game and are very remorseful, even I did not believe the reports until they told me)

well done EA and Disney. well done. lol

there is no way to view your ping in-game.

Edit: Their server is probably located at Japan/HK as mentioned. For the sake of comparison, I'm getting around 80-170 ping on Battlefield 1 (80-120 most of the time)

This post has been edited by iKilledElmo: Nov 20 2017, 12:54 PM

I personally try the game in beta and with the 10 hours early access trial. Also having a friend still playing this game.

For servers it is having SG server, this can be check when go to option > EA account and server can show there. The SG server show for me is 15ms. Next nearest is Hong Kong server which is 56ms. The game current state, according to my friend it is having no issue to finding game.


Personally like the game pew pew and sound, I didnt buy as the EA issue make me scare lack of player for us after the game launch for not long. Gameplay nice for the game, progression is RNG and no news about the changes detail has come in yet. Its your choice to buy or not but take note the pay for box will COME BACK


SAY no to EA, destroy the game i wait for so long.....

This post has been edited by RasWong: Nov 20 2017, 01:11 PM

i wonder what is their player base count during launch after this fiasco

Same, still waiting for the stats to come out. Should be impact alot. Seems all people that post in this thread didnt buy, already reduce alot ppl

you can minus out based on the reddit downvotes - almost 1 mil i guess. not counted those like us that didn't downvote at reddit.

I bought it and i'm too lazy to refund. Actually, i have tonnes of fun playing the multiplayer lol (of coz looking past all the micro transactions fiasco). Some people will overpower you in the beginning but you will catch up eventually.
The game play doesn't feel like 15ms to me though.

Surprisingly there are a lot of people playing the galactic assault (40 players). Match-making is almost instant tbh.

lol, actually very interest in this game after watch those live stream
but wait black friday sales, maybe ada 10~15% sales, its few more day left
sales sikit i pun cukur sudah

Pro tips for you:

https://www.greenmangaming.com/

You can get it on GMG with 12% at RM260.94. If you are a new customer, you can apply the voucher "NEW15" at checkout to get another 15% discount on top of that. So, in total you just have to pay around RM220. (you can always register a new account if you're already an existing customer).

But ask yourself before making the decision.
Do you play multiplayer on a regular basis? Yes? Go ahead and buy. Note: The campaign is lame and boring.
Do you hate EA? Yes? Then go spend on something else.

i not that hate EA, i hate Ubisoft more, yes, i play online multiplayer a lot
BF3 and 4 is gold edition BF1 didnt buy because of not really like WW1 equipment and the metalbox like tank,
this look a lot funny, i think i will buy, but origin store is 69.9 SGD, its around RM220 too

Star Wars Battlefront 2’s Starfighter Assault is outstanding, but cards are killing the fun
https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/20/16679618...ard-unlocks-fun
"There are three classes of starfighters in the game: fighter, interceptor and bomber. Each of those three classes has three card slots, each of which can be filled with unique power-ups available through the game’s Star Cards.

But, when you start the game, only one of those card slots is open. In order to unlock the additional two slots you have to increase the level of your Star Cards. Not the level of your main account, mind you, but the level of the random cards you get from the game’s loot crates.

You’ve got two options for leveling your Star Cards: either buy more loot crates or craft higher level cards. But you can’t craft higher level cards until you reach level 10 on your main profile!"
