I’ve been wanting to check it out, but the no space battles thing kind of kills it for me. Also the gameplay looks very barebones compared to Battlefront 2 and I really miss the prequel settings. I also heard Hoth is completely fucked when it comes to staying true to the movies. The shield generator is just a decoration, there are X-Wings and TIEs flying around, and the ion cannon doesn’t do anything.
There’s no game mode that really replicates the Battle of Hoth, Walker Assault is the closest thing to that but if you look at it as its own thing a little more it’s pretty fun. There’s also Tatooine and Endor stages as well, among others.
The Endor and Tatooine maps looked absolutely gorgeous and pretty decent to play on. I don’t think there are any other vanilla maps aside from Tatooine, Endor, and Hoth though. I heard that vanilla Battlefront is very, very light on content compared to BF1 and BF2 which is also a little worrisome for me because I loved that I could have a huge selection of maps from various different planets in BF2. When I looked at BF gameplay, I usually just saw Endor, Hoth, and Tatooine which is more than a little disappointing. Also the choice in heroes DICE decided to implement is really just hilarious to me. From what I understand, Chewbacca and Ben Kenobi still aren’t in the game. Greedo and Nien Nunb (Nien fucking Nunb got in the game before 2 huge characters) were recently added though.
