It's just the beta, so it's really hard to tell how the final product will turn out. But comparing this beta to the first one, I liked that better. I don't agree that it's too complex though, its just different. But I do feel like Dice made some changes just for the sake of it because people didn't like it in the first, without putting enough thought into the changes. Essentially going from crap idea to crap idea.
The gunplay feels boring now...They also just feel like guns, not blasters. Shooting bullets, not bolts. And the reticle is too small, with little hit feedback, hard to tell if I'm hitting someone.
The classes are pointless at the moment because everyone just picks the ones that are OP. People complained that everyone ran around with the same loadout in the first game, jump packs and bacta bombs, now it's going to be no different here, just with a different loadout. They need to be balanced out better.
The music is lacking, it's too silent most of the time, this is Star Wars ffs, make use of that music. Same goes for sound design, it's garbage and weak compared to the first game.
The visuals need to be reworked, the CA, the vignette, the millions of leaves and birds, overkill.
Galaxtic assault is fucking garbage compared to Walker Assault, I thought people liked that mode? Why get rid of it?
The map is also trash, but, it's just the beta so who knows.
Spawns are crap, no squads, should have at least stuck with the buddy system.
Progression tied to loot crates, lol.
Flying is on point though, it's a huge improvement.
Yeah...This went from my most hyped game of the season to not even sure if I want to keep my pre-order. Sounds like I hate it, I don't, I'm having fun with it...But it needs work and with that in mind, I wonder if there's any point in buying it now instead of later when it will not only be cheaper, but will have been changed and patched for the better.
