A nice addition in theory, but the results appear less flattering. In Star Wars Battlefront 2 this mode has you piloting famous spacecrafts from the series. There are subtle, perceptible variations in how each class traverses across a level such as the heavy being on the slower side but nothing that impacts gameplay to a large degree.Īnother area of concern is Space Combat. Rather they seem to exist to simply allow you more ways to contribute to battle by activating a special power such as the aforementioned specialist’s reveal of the opposition. They’re welcome additions to Star Wars Battlefront 2 but they feel oversimplified when compared to games with character classes like Quake Champions, Overwatch, or even EA’s own Battlefield 1. The officer has abilities such as being able to heal squadmates, the specialist can become invisible and reveal enemies in your area, while the heavy has high health and its own shield to draw fire away from your foes. Four are available in addition to the standard assault class. Unlike the last game, you can choose between different classes in multiplayer. The only area where they differ is the rate of fire which is specific to the character class you choose.
This also results in a game where weapons don’t have any variations in handling, range, and recoil. Instead they overheat, forcing you to wait a few seconds or quickly tap a button to fire again. This means no bullets or cartridges to replenish.
Much like Star Wars Battlefront, each weapon is a variant on a laser blaster. It never quite managed to capture the scale or the scope of 2015’s Star Wars Battlefront’s multiplayer nor does it feel as immersive as Dice’s past attempts at grand warfare with Battlefield 1. Compared to the grand battles on the ice planet Hoth, Naboo’s civilian environs felt claustrophobic in comparison. Though choosing Naboo of all locations for this felt like a wasted opportunity. This allows you to take on opponents in a sprawling map with multiple objectives.
The headline feature of the Star Wars Battlefront 2 beta is Galactic Assault. Developed by Dice and published by EA - the duo behind 2015’s the superlative Battlefield 1 - you’d think the game would be similar in standard, if not an improvement.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 beta is far from what you'd expect from a game bearing the Star Wars moniker.
