Graphics and sound are stunning! This really feels like Star Wars. I thought the single player survival mode was a little boring, but multiplier was pretty fun. All I know is, I really suck at multiplier FPS games. I'm at the far bottom of rankings after each battle every time. Biggest problem is I don't know if I'm reading HUD correctly, since enemies pop up out of nowhere and kill me. I'll try and get better. I hope the matchmaking is improved though.
Is this game a buy? Perhaps too early to say. It would be if it had single-player campaign OR I somehow get better at multiplayer. As it stands, I'm not sure, certainly not a day one buy for me. I'll be playing a bunch over the weekend though to see if I can get better. It is still pretty darn fun even if you suck.
Agreed on single player horde mode being boring. But I have that with every horde mode I ever played. Guess it gets a bit better doing co-op. You know what would be an amazing feat though? Having a 4-20 player co-op horde mode! Wonder why nobody ever thought about that...it's made for a game based on a canon franchise with so many famous and beloved set-pieces / scenes imo.
Maybe I was just lucky but I did quite ok. You have to remember that k/d isn't the important thing in these modes (at least in Walker Assault, cap the pod is different of course). I went 1/3 or so multiple times when playing as a rebel with oppontents racking up 44-5 kills or so (thx to AT-ATs) but still won against them because of playing the objectives and tried playing tactical.
I'm hardly looking at the HUD though, once you know the map you can guess pretty good where the oppponts come from. I read that one shouldn't ADS too much too, but I do it most of the time tbh, except up close. Maybe it was just laggy on your part / bad connection? Having a partner that doesn't suck too much helps a lot for pushing the lines together though!
Some random thoughts:
- I really wonder if there will be different maps to Walker Assault (Endor?) and Cap the Pod though?! Would become rather stale quite soon otherwise.
-no douchebaggery in the chat! God, how I hate that in COD et al.
- taking out Darth Vader is awesome!
