Star Wars Battlefront II |BETA| Execute Pre-Order 66

Is there any way to play with friends? Keeps saying 0 friends online despite having a few on. This is on the PS4.
 
Holy shit, what's with all the chromatic aberration?

Edit: looks great otherwise on Pro, disagree with the poster below. But why waste that beauty with so much CA? :(
 
Wow this looks terrible on my TV with HDR on. So many pixel boxes where the lighting changes.

Any advice in how to fix this? It's been in other games before too. I'm absolutely sure it's my TV.

EDIT: I have a Sony X800D with PS4.
 
The DICE audio guys do not get enough awards for the work they do (though with this one I gotta give lots of props to LucasArts and Skywalker Sound as I imagine a lot was pulled directly from them) but man do they always manage to just nail the audio in their games.
 
Starfighter assault seems hopeless for the rebels. The flight controls also seem... odd.

Infantry fights feel better than the first though, without a doubt.
 
I redeemed my code on xbox.com and everything was fine but its not showing up in my ready to install. Anybody know whats up?


never mind, I found it.
 
What exactly is chromatic aberration?

Ever played Bloodborne? :P
 
It's weird how much worse this game looks than the first one. The CA bull shit needs to go. Looks like my screen is moving non-stop. Hurts my eyes.

Also im playing on PS4 Pro and there's no way these visuals are final right? Looked way better in the trailers. Some of these textures look almost unfinished sometimes.

The gameplay has been fun other than that. Need to play more but I'm liking it. More nuanced than the first.
 
Game runs pretty awesome on 1440p ultra everything . Gameplay is alright tho, nothing mindblowing. Hope the single player story is good!
 
The game looks like ass. CA, blocky smoke/fire, shimmering ground. Think I'm cancelling my pre-order.
Played 2 minutes. Just went’ from trying Witcher 3 ps4 pro to this. IQ is bad. Soft. , shimmers .... very disappointed

Hope for a ps4 pro improvement in the final one
 
Flushing is just like standard reloading on any other FPS.

That's weak.

Errrrrrrrr...... like the first game?

It functions like the first game if you fully overheat your gun. Then you get a reload mini-game where you can quick flush (blue) or get a no overheat 5 second go nuts rambo style window after reload (yellow) or if you fail you need to wait for it to fully cool down.

They've just added a normal reload if you reload before your gun fully overheats.
 
There's a few things about this game that I really don't like.

-Chromatic aberration
-Vignette when zooming in
-No death count
-ELIMINATION flashing on your screen for fucking assists, what?
-Class system grenade loadout...Just let me pick the grenade instead of forcing me to use flash.
-The strike map is garbage, as are the spawns.
-The lack of music during gameplay, it was pretty prominent in the first game, it's lacking here.

I dunno, something about the game feels off, and just not that fun.
 
Xbox One version? It looks pretty rough but not enough to justify cancelling a pre-order.

PS4 Pro.

Yeah it looks really bad. BF1 too now as well since they added CA in the HDR patch (though not as bad as this).

I'm not paying £49 for this, pre-order cancelled, if I get it I'll get it when it's much cheaper.
 
I’ll say this based on my limited playtime this morning, the CA and vignette effects need to get trashed. They’re just completely unnecessary and ugly. At the very least, we need a toggle for all three platforms.
 
Haven't played yet, i have my code to grab the beta for PS4 Pro tonight.

With that said, i'm hoping they comment on these initial graphic complaints some of you have. Keep in mind this is just a beta, and they'll hopefully use the time left to tweak things and plus im sure there will be a massive Day 1 patch as well that might address alot of this too.
 
Played a match and first thing i noticed is that resolution looks like a step back from BF1 on Xbox. Not sure if its actually running at the same resolution, but after getting a step up moving from 720p to 900p when moving from Battlefront 1 to BF1, this game definitely looks softer on an X1S.

That being said, i'm digging the classes, I like how the game queues you to respawn with a squad, and earning killstreak type vehicles feels pretty easy and its cool you choose it all from the spawn screen.
 
They definitely did not add PS4 Pro support for this Beta.

Like many others have said...Battlefield 1 looks a whole lot better than this running on Pro with a 4K/HDR TV.

It'll be very interesting to see how the One X version runs as I have the game preordered for both systems. If this is all they have to offer on Pro I may cancel it....
 
The post processing in this game is fucking offensive to my eyes. I turned it down to the lowest setting, and the terrible chromatic aberration and vignetting still stuck around. Who the fuck at DICE thought this was a good idea? Battlefront 1 was so clean. Why the hell did they use all these shitty filters in this game?

Other than that the game is fun. It's nearly impossible to play it with the default 55 FOV on PC, but it was a nice taste tester. I think I'll enjoy the full release. I just hope to god that DICE lets us turn off that fucking offensive Vignette and aberration filter.
 
How old is this build anyways? I’m sure the final product will have come a long way in the graphical department from this beta.
 
Is there anyone actually playing this, mine (PS4) just keeps saying at the top "players needed [then a number]).

I am really not liking this loot-box integration it seems needlessly complicated!

I loved the first game the BETA sold me the game and I put in hundreds of hours into it, I am glad for this BETA though as these, Assault, Officer etc (class things) options is something I really do not like at all, and the same if not more for loot-boxes, I am prepared to be disappointed by this BETA though :/
 
I know I already said this but I just played a round on Theed and I'm honestly just surprised because I played Battlefront 1 on Xbox, sold that and am now playing the beta for Battlefront 2 on PS4 Pro and it seems to seriously look worse than the first. I know it's a beta and all but I feel like the maps just look worse somehow. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe the texture work isn't as good. Or maybe they're turned down for the beta. I'm not sure.

Again, the gameplay was fun. Although Theed really seems like it would benefit from 10 more players. The outside section feels really empty.
 
PS4 Pro.

BF1 does not look bad ‘now’ with the HDR patch. It looks absolutely incredible on a B7 OLED.

You mean to say there's no traditional kill death ratio? If so, then fucking finally. Team-based games suffer from people obsessing over getting a good k&d over everything else.

Can anyone show me how the ingame scoreboard looks like?
 
Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with the IQ on the PS4 Pro. This does not look like a 1080p game, especially with the exceptionally gratuitous use of chromatic aberration and film grain.
 
I'm also not fond of "Golden brown map/architecture" with golden brown/sunny filter" fighting "golden brown robot bad guys"

it's a little hard to pick shit out.
 
Guys,

I would love a PC code if possible. I have it pre orderd from amazon.ca and never received my code. I contacted amazon....useless. I contacted EA and they are even worse !

any help would be appreciated, thanks !
