I've been blasting MMOs for this faggotry design for 10 years ever since Asia figured out how to produce games, nothings changed except maybe EA won't keylog your computer. Except those games were usually F2P and not 60$ + additional fees for a slight advantage.

So don't buy the advantage. Consider other players doing so a handicap for yourself.

Players who spend money will be a slightly higher difficulty tier, and the random challenge will make your gameplay experience more dynamic and interesting.

It doesn't matter at all unless you play competitively.... and why would you play this game competitively?

I don't disagree with what you're saying in general with Battlefront 2 being a non-serious arcade shooter and all, but this has to be the most retarded defense of Pay to Win Harder, P2W(H).

"Don't agree with P2W? Then don't P2W and just consider 'whales' P2WH part of the learning curve".

That's inherently a defeatist mentality towards the pervasiveness of the cancer. This is what we call liberal mental gymnastics in the GamerGate Thread, Politics, etc. I'm all for being grateful that this isn't one of the more insidious implementations of P2W and think you're right to recognize it as that, but come on man.

Defeatist mentality? Obviously a tryhard. Btw any type of cash shop that goes beyond cosmetics in a 60$ game is fucking insidious.

Argues for equality of outcome.

Calls me a liberal.

Played the game. The shooting was off from the first. Flying was hard to control. Rafterman was right about the post processing, graphical out lay. They should have left it as it was with the first one. The first one would have been fine but just needed a TON more content at launch. This solves that problem but now they have messed it all up from a shooting perspective and it feels like Battlefield overlaid as a star wars mod.

False on both points?

Only argument was that your view was depressing and somewhat contradicting. That line of thinking is attributed to liberal think in the threads mentioned, but that doesn't make you a liberal. Hence why I never called you a liberal.

I quite enjoyed the beta.....moved it to a will get this eventually purchase. Was playing spaceship battle in copilot mode with my girlfriend last night. We were flying a Y-wing. I do the driving she does the shooting. Two times in a row I was strafing a ship and took to long to break off. My girlfriend screaming at me both times " pull out..pull OUT " After the second incident she says to me " Your terrible at pulling out." I smile and turn to her " Yeah never been very good at that."

Anyone get the specialist dual zoom attachment to work? I rebound melee so maybe that's why it doesn't work for me, but I don't remember what the original key was.

I've tried all the attachments I was interested in.

For assault, stock helps, but scope is too zoomed in. The rifle itself is inferior to the starting rifle though which can't be modified. The spray pattern is just too huge to be accurate. If there were a semi auto mode with decent accuracy it might be ok. For fighting on taco though, the scope is really the only chance you have to see the well camod resistance.

Heavy I haven't tried the cooling attachment, but the night vision is about the same as assault. Maybe good for taco, but too zoomed in otherwise.

Officer exploding shot is great for splash damaging around corners and such. The grip I can't really tell if it works or not.

Specialist - Burst is a must have. It can often turn fast center of mass shots into 2 body and a head hit. I could never get dual zoom to work. I wish instead they had a night vision option as this is the only class that really benefits from a scope.
