Okay what the fuck. Why the fuss with Y-wings and AT-ATs? Why not just give the Empire the walkers, the Rebels some Snowspeeders and let them go at it?
This is possible, probably the best way to take one down too, I'm guessing the map at the beginning as nobody has any idea what to do is imbalanced for Imperials, but as more people know what to do it'll be imba the other way around and people will have to actively protect the things:
Anyway, I played the Beta for a while and while the Battlefield 3 one made me want to Pre-Order that shit like yesterday (despite being somewhat dumbed down), this didn't do it at all for me.
- Vehicles and aircraft are kinda floaty and shit (some like the AT-AT come with 60 second timers, others die pretty fast)
- Powerups instead of hangar or airfield is stupid, it all feels very arcade like you're playing a pinball game instead of a giant battle
- Small 20v20 maps instead of epic 64v64 battles on large maps
- The objectives seem stupid, gotta run and activate the same shit all the time
- There's barely any destructability in comparison to the recent Battlefields
- No class system that would require different classes like Engineers, Assault, Medics, Recon etc. and would give the game more depth. From what I've seen most people run around with the same weapon loadout
- Unlockable weapons so far are boring/meh, no heavy weapons class or sniper class, just powerups/pickups like fire-once rocket launchers or cooldown snipers
- You can randomly die a lot faster and often do so on spawn or without even seeing any enemy - often from just 1-2 shots because there doesn't seem to be a base/no-go zone, and everything is always open as fuck
- I didn't generally see much in the way of tactics or squad play possible like in Battlefield.
They should've made another Jedi Knight or an actual Battlefield "Reskin" instead of this thing, or at least another Republic Commando.
