No actually it's not. I win all the time as rebels. You only lose because noobs don't take the time to understand what they are supposed to do on the rebels team (believe me I was one of them lol). Those uplinks you need to activate add fighter's every time they do a full circle, and then the more fighter's you have, the longer the AT-AT shields are down. Once the shields are down, all the noobs turn and start shooting their pee-shooters at it. Bad idea. Use turrets, and AIR is REALLY important. The A fighters damage the AT-AT ALOT, and also the snowspeeder can one hit them with it's hook which takes quite a bit of practice. Rebels take more teamwork, but in terms of balance, it is balanced IMO.
- Because it's made a decade later on a completely different engine by a completely new game design company.
- It's not BF2, it's a completely new game (see above point), hence why it's named battlefront, not BF3.
- I have absolutely no idea how you could think this plays like battlefield it's not even close. I was thinking it would, but then I started playing. It is much more fast paced (like WAY more) than Battlefield, the FPS mechanics like bullet lead feel like I'm playing tribes with an auto pistol, which is awesome, and the vehicles are compleeeetely different. The AT-AT feels more like a ac130 from cod, the aircraft are ridiculously nimble and much faster than any in battlefield which makes dogfights more fun IMO. Also the ability and perk system is way different. I could go on and on. All I can say is ask your mom or dad (or really anyone who doesn't play games), to play battlefield, then load this game up for them. They will not tell you they feel like the same game, I can almost guarantee it. I feel like it's just because people know that dice is making the game... It's like M. Night Shyamalan movies... everyone dismisses them immediately now to the point that when he makes a good one, it will still get bad reviews lol.
- They are different developers so this is their take on it... and even then, it is quite similar where it needs to be. Honestly, I'm happy they didn't just make battlefront 2 and put a reskin. They took risks and tried new things. Thinking the safe way, we would have had a Warcraft 4 instead of World of Warcraft.
- I have never cared for mods at all, so I have nothing to say here.
Until you actually understand what is going on lol.
There is definitely skill required lol. To say that the game requires no skill is like saying all FPS games require no skill. When you are playing noobs, you can absolutely feel the difference.
