Star Wars Battlefront II
Do not forget about the fans of "Star Wars", the developers of this game, offering new "toys". Not so long ago, through the efforts of EA DICE, Criterion Games and Motive Studios, Star Wars Battlefront II was created in the shooter genre. You can play in the first person, switching to the third, in fact, this is the 4th game of the Star Wars Battlefront series, created as a sequel. Fans, however, expected more from her than they received, but it was done at a very high level.
Subject lines
What immediately did not like the supporters of "Star Wars" is the poor study of the plot. The events of episodes 6 and 7 are somehow linked, sometimes you get the opportunity to play for Han Solo, Luke, Leia, Lando. The plot is based on Operation Ashes, the main characters are the Inferno squad, led by Eden Versio. It all starts with an attempt by the Empire to destroy several loyal worlds in order to designate its primacy, the final blow is dealt to Jakku. Vardos was demolished, but the attack on Naboo was repulsed by the resistance forces led by Leah.
And what about the legendary Luke Skywalker? When the squad is tasked with getting to the Emperor's secret laboratory, full of ancient artifacts, he goes there at the call of the Force. The guys must destroy the laboratory so that the enemies do not use the arts, where Luke meets a member of the Detachment squad. In the laboratory, Skywalker finds a mysterious compass that will help the daredevil more than once.
The authors and Han Solo did not forget to bring it out. He hung on the same planet with a cozy bar and its owner, despite the fact that Leia is diligently looking for a guy all over the galaxy, since he does not get in touch. But he willingly joins the rebels, as they say, the guerrilla character is not going anywhere.
Then the situation unfolds according to the scenario "good versus bad", some heroes try to smash unwanted planets into dust, others honestly try to prevent them.
Gameplay and Features of Star Wars Battlefront II
The developers have thought out a set of tasks, the ability to play against each other, added a training session before going online. Players note that, in general, the gameplay has not changed, only the infantry has been added, and they have also given the opportunity to play as the Jedi. But in order to get Yoda or Kenobi, you need to score a lot of points at the expense of destroyed enemies. But getting a thrill from taking out enemies by the hundreds with the help of a lightsaber really compensates for all the efforts.
Battles are much weaker than space battles, the latter, by the way, are much more. The game is little adapted for a third person, the heroes do not know how to snuggle up to shelters, and opponents sit out more in locations. In general, the drive is not enough.
Battles in space and on planets
But there is a large campaign with a bunch of tasks in each mission, for example, to blow up a huge generator or or to break into an enemy post. Added 4 playable classes by characters:
- soldier - blaster rifle;
- heavy combatant - machine gun;
- officer - blaster pistol;
- specialist - sniper rifle.
Each of them, as expected, has its own characteristics and superiority. Weapons are allowed to be modified. The system of star cards has also changed, they also affect the abilities of heroes, vehicles and soldiers at the expense of experience points with each new level of the fighter. Skins and emotes are bought for credits that drop after matches. Heroes and reinforcements are also called for points.
