I agree with greyjedi. They're energy weapons, energy has (unless I'm mistaken) no mass and thus no recoil.
Also, and that's the sniper in me speaking, I hate that there's no need for snipers in this game. I highly doubt we'll get anything close to that considering they're energy weapons and the beams go straight ahead for ever or until they meet an obstacle, such as a trooper or a rebel's head. |

Normally, I would agree with you about the weapons. But we need to remember that they're not "guns" they're blasters, the technology is very different; this is a universe where you have swords with blades made of pure energy, they emit no heat, and have no weight whatsoever aside from the hilt. Blasters don't have recoil because it's not shooting a projectile from a casing full of gunpowder causing muzzle flash and then causing recoil. Blaster bolts are technically lasers, they've got no weight, so no recoil. Dice was awesome enough to recognize this and made it easy for us to use the weapons. The weapons we do have DO have have stats, the E-11 has more damage but the A280C has a higher rate a fire; the DLT-19 has a huge rate of fire, cooling power, but damage sucks unless its from a long distance, also notice that this weapon needs to be fired with short controlled burst or else it would start to spread. This gun actually takes some practice to use, in my opinion. Anyway, all good points, glad you're enjoying the game.
Very true in all your points. It's been a long while since blasters have been fired in a Star Wars game lol. A lot of gun games were made in between Battlefront 2 and this new Battlefront. Guess I've gotten used to regular ol' guns. I'm interested to see what other weapons may pop up in the final version though. Also, is anyone else missing clone wars era stuff? I hope it'll eventually make it in a DLC or something but how can you leave out one of the greatest conflicts in the SW universe?! My favorite times in the old battlefront games were the clone troopers and clone war era maps! |

I expect that they will have the clone wars in their next game, Battlefront 2 maybe? Who knows, but trust me it has not been forgotten. From the looks of it, the game is focused on the Galactic civil war. What I was hoping for was an "infection" mode kinda like in Halo or any other FPS, and Star Wars DOES have zombie-like stories, the best example being Deathtroopers. Thank god that book takes place during the games era.

Light and darkness, you cannot have one without the other. To achieve equilibriem you must be in harmony with both; the path between.

I hope so for CW. And the infection mode with deathtroopers would be a nice easter egg haha. |

I enjoyed the game considering it is only a beta. As others might have noticed, Hoth is sort of one sided. A question I got is do you guys think they might be working on a campaign that they might add to the game later on after the movie is released so that the game wont "spoil" anything? It seems like it will have a lot of options to suit a good spread of players. I think my productivity in life will be coming to a halt in November.

I don't know about after the release, but with the release, if you preordered the game you get an extra mode called Battle of Jakku, basically this is the main planet of Episode 7. This map is essentially the battle that sets the stage for Episode 7 since it happens before the events of the movie. It is TECHNICALLY the campaign for the game.

There might be a sniper mode. While I was playing two player with my son, we did get attacked by snipers from quite a distance. I would prefer to play as a sniper. While I did enjoy playing this game a lot, I got my ass kicked. I think that I am was playing against a bunch of 13 year old kids that have nothing better to do than sit around and get really good at these kind of games! It was still very fun for me.

Yeah I'm not too concerned with the lack of a fully fleshed out campaign. It, hopefully, means that their focus was completely on the multiplayer aspect of the game and thus it should be fantastic. Hopefully...
