Best Of

Star Wars Battlefront(31 hours+): Once the weekend hit for this game people got salty hard. Also, everyone is now gay and a member of every racial minority. You might as well just give up and break both of your arms . Since uninstalling TF2 I have been looking for a FPS grinder to replace my spare time with. This is the game I picked and threw a bunch of money at it to force myself to stick with it. The first night was glorious as I started hitting unlocks and having to plan which ones I would pay to acquire early, knowing the first 20 hours were going to be focused on building a usable play style given the card system. The first sitting ran from 11 pm until 5 am the next morning, 15 levels, and a .98 KDR. Strange how my primary focus was solely on running the Ion Shot, thermal det., and whatever blaster where now I am soo soo cheap. All hail the homing shot/barage combo!

The sweet sweet chuckle watching a homing shot race across the map to find its target after several seconds and pick up 150 points on the kill. Only to be topped later as a jump jetter leaps around obstacles for protection but just caused the rocket to gain enough vertical to curve in on them. People's distaste for that star card is growing quickly but they are also missing the suppression that it gives as enemies have to hide from the rocket propelled homing missile. Now I also just recently unlocked the cycler which became one of the most hated weapons from the PC beta as it allowed players to snipe across the entire map with real accuracy. The gun has been nerfed with a heavy drop but is still extremely usable, I am extremely poor at using it....sigh. But just like watching fools run from a homing shot, getting that sweet across the map kill on a player trying to get to cover is choice. The day of owning my own bowcaster is soon approaching....../chewieSound.

People are really hating on the game due to the total price, north of a c-note($100). I can really understand that but its not like anyone is trying to spin the cost or features. Everyone knows what the game looks like and feels like. This isn't a greenlight lie. For the amount of people that have picked up a Battlefield and dropped it within a year this shouldn't be so far out on a limb that huge swaths of the net decry its birth. The destruction of what people think Battlefront should be is part of the reason why we don't have an HL3 since it will never be perfect. The game is good. It deliveries on the promises it claimed. There are very serious balance issues with just horrible horrible spawns and spawn camping/turtling. Nothing in the game feels unpolished and I have spent some time running around the maps, alot(yes). If you think you want to want to buy this game just go ahead. They just released some more information on the December Jakku release which looks like a good addition before they get into season pass DLC.

Do it and try going pew pew without a smile on your face.
