Battlefront Update | Resurgence in Starfighter Assault? New Community Managers + Weekend Events

[@SYLOStarWars]

I can't imagine DICE must be happy to hear how much their pride and joy Battlefield 5 has been getting so outperformed by Battlefront 2... especially considering Battlefield got a new content update literally in June too. 😬 Edit: Yeah, I know I screwed up on the numbers, saying thousands instead of millions... my bad on the goof, late night video editing will do that to you :O

[@FifthRobin]

Should've put all there workers on BF3 instead of a sequel of a fairly unknown property (Battlefield) in despair because of the previous fifth entry and...it's gonna get too repetitive

[@Kerpkoop]

noobtastic I’m sorry but, you literally just proved our point. You said Battlefront 2 could take a hint from the Battlefield 1& 5 campaign right? Well yeah.. we were frustrated it didn’t get as much love as the Battlefield 5 campaign. You said the maps aren’t as open and they’re very linear on Battlefront 2 compared to Battlefield 5? Of course. We would love more out of the maps and an even greater catalogue to choose from. Again, Battlefront 2 didn’t get as much love as Battlefield 5. You said Capital Supremacy is no where near as great as the maps in Battlefield 5? Again Battlefront 2 didn’t get the love and support. They gave it all to Battlefield 5. The point is Battlefront 2, while it did have some amazing support particularly later on, didn’t get as much care for as Battlefield 5. Because Battlefront 2 has a stronger player base it should be getting much more support. Also, of course Battlefield 5 doesn’t have heroes or villains because there aren’t any. It can’t be missing anything that doesn’t fit in it. That was an oversight on your part.

[@themuffinman5755]

@Darth Maul I speak from the perspective of someone who has left this game a while ago. Skins won't make people come back. You don't have fun by playing with a certain skin over another. You have fun with the experience, the game modes, the balance between characters, variety of different weapons, the progression and incentive to grind. People don't like being restricted in games. Modes like Galactic Assault offer nothing but the same old bottleneck tunnels to fight in. It gets repetitive, stale, and annoying. Capitol Supremacy matches last too long and the ship phase is beyond stale at this point. Skins won't fix the problems in this game. Just like skins wouldn't fix the issues in Battlefront 1 when that was a thing.

Yup. 100k signatures. Out of 14,400,000. Don’t get your hopes up just yet.

[@Benthesniperof8]

Don't bother with hope boys. 2 years ago the petition to save bf2 had double the signatures in half the time. That plus the fact that the game had yet to receive any worthwhile content put dice into a spot where they had to put out content. However dice is now currently focused on the upcoming battlefield title set to drop October/November of 2021. Last time that Dice focused on a battlefield title battlefront 2 didn't get content for 8 months. And to top it off, EA was the one who pulled the support from battlefront, which means dice has no say in its revival. So while it's okay to hope, don't expect anything at all. Because the likelihood of new battlefront content dropping is slimmer than an anorexic dachshund.

[@reduxmidasbrother7679]

Reuben Ellis don’t forget that the game has surpassed Battlefield in Players. Therefore more money to EA. That mean more content means more players and more players means more money-Celebration edition. So if enough people get into the game and buy the celebration edition. EA might look at the game and say. Imagine if we added more content and add another version of a celebration edition. Example quick ways to get all the new content in an instant. As an Imperial I can say yes Hope is to be eradicated but that doesn’t mean persistence isn’t an option. Annoy them until they crack or ruin their business. I am not taking a soft approach I am going to war with EA. They have ruined too much. With Battlefield V they found a way to ruin History! Therefore they deserve to see their cherished brands die until they bring back support!

I hate to burst your bubble of hope, But the majority of Dices resources are focused on the upcoming battlefield title set to drop October/November 2021. The last time dice prioritised a battlefield title, battlefront 2 didn't get any worthwhile content for over 9 months. (2018 was a very stale year for battlefront) And with them really wanting to move on to next gen consoles I really doubt battlefront 2 is going to get new content. Expect nothing, but hope for something.

Mandalorian starfighters for Starfighter Assault. More heroes starfighters (Razor Crest and Gideon's TIE maybe). Seriously, they should fuse the 3 Millenium Falcons as only one. Lando's Falcon and Rey's Falcon should skins/variants of the original. Also, add Din Djarin and Moff Gideon for the Resistence Era.

Ive came not even inches to debris and have blown up. No ship damage, no wing scraped damage etc. as we all see in Star War films that fighters can still drive with ship damage or even escape with it depending on your flying skills. but putting in ONLY first person is going to be a slap in the face to ALL Starfighter Assault players whos been die hard for that mode since the debut of BFll but the players thats kept that entire mode alive this whole time so YOUR BANDWAGON Sqaudron players can get on learn some training, which you can obviously see now bc none of them can fly in Assualt, its clear as day who are the new flyers now. lmao. good luck with bring your STA community along without the same mechanics.

With EA doubling down I do kinda hope Bioware gets to work on a new Star Wars rpg. Star Wars JFO was good storywise, but each update bugged the game out for me. I want to see a Star Wars rpg set either a decade or century after Rise of Skywalker. So that they can make a entirely new storyline that's not limited to before Phantom Menace or before Force Awakens. The future setting could definitely ensure a brand new story.
