Star Wars Battlefont 2 Trailer

I’d assume no local servers

No, I doubt that very much. We'll play euro servers.

A new trailer for a game released 10+ years ago?

I assume you've been living under a rock for the past 3 years? :wtf:

Any clue on the size of the beta?

Any clue on the size of the beta?

Reports say download of 15GB, the beta page says 25GB required space for the PC version so not sure exactly but I'll find out tomorrow morning.

Knew you were being sarcastic, but thought I'd point it out anyhow

I know of the classic 2005 version, the video is obviously for the reboot :erm:

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

22gb download on pc.

left it to run over night. Got like 5 min gaming in this morning. Looks epic!
Nice little beta intro from Fin

Looks like we have local servers, at least for the beta.

One of the IPs of the server I just connected to was 185.179.200.241 which is a local one.

That’s a I3D Ip. Interesting

Yeah they do have a local presence in Johannesburg. That's where the local Quake Champions servers are also hosted:

I had fun playing the beta but I'm not a fan of the infantry combat mechanics. As a very average fps player I found it very difficult most of the time and really quite frustrating just getting instakilled constantly as there are just too many ways to one shot people.

The starfighter assault mode was the highlight of the beta for me and I found that mode really enjoyable and did very well in it too.

I loved the way you can call in support in the Galactic Battles. Where you can occupy different vehicles or ships or play as heroes etc. Very cool.
Cant wait for the full release. Very keen to see what the Campaign is like.

The fact that this game's progression is locked behind loot boxes that you have to buy or grind for hours just for 1, has made me decide not to buy this piece of crap. We probably wont have South African servers again anyway.
And F EA. I generally dont buy their games anyhow.

Is that true? F**k that noise then.

Yeap. It has been all the gaming news this week. It became obvious with the beta. Abilities and weapon upgrades come inside RNG lootboxes only. This is the ONLY way to progress.
