- Oh, they're behind us now. Ah, get turned on.
- Shut up, shut up-- ahh!
Oh my God!
♪ (8 bit intro) ♪
- Star Wars Battlefront II. Heard a lot about it.
Never played it.
- It's basically a Battlefield game but Star Wars themed.
I absolutely love Star Wars so much,
so it's, like, this is the best game ever.
- (FBE) Today you're going to be playing the pre release beta
for Star Wars Battlefront II. - Cool.
It's gonna be space shooting stuff.
- I played this at home. The beta, I was playing
this at 1 AM when it dropped.
- (FBE) You're going to be playing the objective-based game mode
called Galactic Assault, - Right.
- (FBE) which is going to have you either attacking
or defending the Naboo city of Theed.
- Well I did grow up playing Halo. Maybe my instinct will kick in
and I'll kill it.
- Okay, let's try it.
- Joining game in two, one. Here we go.
- (FBE) So you're going to be the defending team
for the Republic clone army. - Ugh, my God.
These are so amazing except the officer.
The officer looks like trash.
- This almost reminds me of Battlefield.
Was this made by the same-- was it DICE?
I knew it. So, I do know a fair bit about this,
just because I love Battlefield so much.
- Um, I'm thinking Assault or Heavy.
- (FBE) You're going to be on the attacking team.
- Yeah, I'm a droid! We're on the assault team.
Actually to start, I'm gonna be a Heavy.
- So I'm attacking? Okay.
- I'm gonna go with the DC-15, 'cause it looks like DLT-19
from Battlefront I, and that gun was amazing.
This is such a cool loading screen! Oh, this looks awesome!
- Oh, wow, wait. Whoa, where?
- Okay, "Eliminate any threats to the MTT."
Shoot.
- All right, guys, I'm gonna follow you.
Let's see what they do. I will do whatever they do.
- I don't see anybody. Oh my God.
Yo, you guys need to help me. I don't see anybody!
- So we're supposed to defend this thing, but we can't
really defend it, so you just gotta kill stuff.
So the main objective is you're actually supposed
to go to those guys over there. Right there, those are the
ion disruptors and what the Rebels are trying to do is they're trying
to grab the ion disruptors, shoot it at our MTT,
and that allows their team to do damage to our tank.
- What powerups do I have? Okay, I got a personal shield.
I'm dead. Okay, cool.
Okay, take two. Load back in.
- I actually really enjoy the style. It does remind me a lot
of Battlefield, and just like Battlefield, it took me some time
getting used to the game.
- As long as I'm careful about it, I'm chilling.
Oh, shit! I didn't even see him.
The [bleep]? I killed--
Whoo!
- Ah, go. Ah, shoot.
Someone's shooting at me. No, ah.
Oh, I shot something!
- Okay, there's a rebel right there. I won't mess with that.
Flank around them. Are they calling
an orbital strike coming? Yay, I got one!
- Get some.
- Either I'm getting a really good game in, or people suck,
'cause nobody's looking at their radar.
Oh my God. This is a cakewalk.
Am I just playing really well, or these people just bad?
- Okay, that's a scary tank. We're supposed to shoot at it?
(rapid laser fire) Oh yeah, I'm doing damage.
- (rapid laser fire) Okay, but I--
can I just shoot-- - (clone) Grenade!
- It's too durable for me to just shoot it.
- Sweet, ion cannon. Hold square.
Oh, baby. So I guess, probably,
when someone's holding an ion cannon,
it says to protect them, so they can lock on and fire.
Come on, come on, come on. Ooh, got it.
That takes forever to load up. Oh my goodness.
- And on my radar, nothing's there.
Okay, the enemy team's just awful.
Oh wait, no, no, no. Don't let him charge!
- The music's increasing. "Take out the MTT" is lowering.
Is that a good thing? Oh no.
I don't know what this is, but I hope it works.
- ♪ (triumphant music) ♪ - It's all thanks to me, guys.
- ♪ (tense music) ♪ - Destination reached.
"Shut down the palace security systems."
Oh snap, okay.
- So, since we got to the objective, now the main part's gonna be
entering and infiltrating their facility.
Are none of them there? We've already flooded this place?
Holy shit. This is the easiest match
I've ever played.
- "Stop the droids from entering the throne room."
Ah, how did he become a Jedi?
I wanna be a Jedi.
- Oh, okay. I'm gonna be a wookie,
'cause wookies are freakin' awesome. I don't know what this does.
Come through the door. I dare you.
Here, have a grenade. Gotcha.
Oh, they're behind us now. Ah, get turned on.
- The fact that this is fully-- (explosions)
Ah, come on, you're telling me-- how did I not get a multi-kill
with that rocket!?
- Oh! Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Ah, oh my God! He threw his lightsaber at me!
He literally threw his freakin' lightsaber like a Frisbee.
Who does that!?
- I need to move closer. I don't like this.
Oh, changes my guns! Oh, we lost.
That got really hectic really fast in that one little area.
- Oh, it's overtime. That looks like we're about
to lose overtime. Oh, never mind.
We're about to win overtime. All me.
Hey, I got one shot on it, so, I did help.
- Pop that door open again, boys. (imitating laser gun fire)
Putting down suppressing fire. Go, you idiots.
Come on. I'm trying to help you!
Ugh, hate teammates.
- Oh no, he's back. The guy that's back
with the frickin' Frisbee lightsaber thing.
Oh, I'm so distraught I can't even say
what it actually is.
- We lost. That's okay.
- ♪ (defeated music) ♪ - I failed.
I know it was a team effort, but I didn't take one for the team.
- Da way! Okay, we win.
That was a cakewalk. Holy crap.
That's probably one of the easiest matches I have played today.
- That's cool. I actually enjoyed that.
I feel like, again, like Battlefield, it does take some getting used to
the style, and it's a lot more tactical.
- (FBE) This time you're Republic clone army.
- Yes!
- Okay, now I'm one of these cool guys.
- (FBE) All right, so this time, you're gonna be the attacking team.
You are the Separatist droid army. - Awesome.
- I think I'm gonna go with the sniper.
- Assault. Let's, you know--
I'm gonna stick with what I know right now.
- I'm probably gonna try Heavy with this one,
'cause I think it's the same exact thing, possibly,
but just the enemy.
"Eliminate any threats to the MTT."
- So I guess as far as this goes, on our side,
we have to basically kill things, as far as we--
as long as we kill people, the counter's probably
gonna go down.
- So our objective this time is to acquire the ion disruptors,
as this guy is right here.
- Oh, there's some action. Oh, shoot, come back here.
Fire at-- ah.
Nope, nope. I didn't aim quick enough.
- Ay, I feel like literally every time I'm doing damage,
or shooting someone, I get shot.
- Ah, should have put up my shield. I'm not playing well on this side.
- Ahh! Oh.
(loud laser blasts) Dang it, dang it.
Someone kill him for me. That ain't fair,
but I respect his outfit.
- Turn up.
- (laser blasts) And I still killed you.
Uh oh, run away, run away. I had no idea what I was doing
and it still worked.
- Just Hail Mary grenade over there. See how that works.
Oh no way, I hit him!
- Yes. I'm not lucky, I'm blessed.
Yes, ah! That was too fast!
I just was happy for a second there like, "Ah, no. We might not
want to be happy so fast."
- All right, so my team should be attacking it.
I'm waiting for my opportunity to do this.
Don't kill me. Go, go, go, go.
- At least on this side, it reminds me of
Battlefield's Conquest, where you keep detonating things
and keep progressing forward. This is what that is, isn't it?
- We're gonna sneak up on this guy. No, no, no.
I was stupid. I was just running through
a hundred of them. I wanted to try to sneak up
on 'em an whack him in the head with a pistol.
You can be a vulture droid? What would this do?
Do you call in an airstrike? - (FBE) No, you're actually
piloting the ship. Doing strafing runs.
- Oh shoot, okay. Sick.
I'm a notoriously bad pilot in Battlefield games.
Okay, is it just the one-- no it's not.
Okay, great. Oh, boy.
Yup, this is like Battlefield 4 trying to fly a helicopter.
Ah, I don't even know what I'm shooting at.
All right, maybe-- (rapid lasers)
Oh, that's not a speedboost. That's a bunch of lasers--
oh, someone else in the air? Oh, there's a gunship.
All right, let's try to take it out.
Just ram it. No, no, no, no.
Whoops. I'll stick to--
I'll stick to being on the ground.
- So, I'm trying to attack this sucker?
Okay. Run, run, run.
- I'ma stick next to it. Ah, hello dude.
Aw, he hid. - ♪ (defeated music) ♪
- I felt like I was doing better.
- I wanna go closer, but like, they're gonna sneak up on me, bro.
Oh, we died! They blew up the MTT.
No. - (Darth Vader) No!
- I guess my team hasn't been crap.
- I got some people really far away. I don't think this gun
is meant to get them from that far away.
Yeah! "Shut down the palace security--"
okay, next objective. Beautiful.
- "Stop the droids from entering the throne room."
Okay.
- All right, here we go. Storm the castle.
We'll go up this way.
- (singing) These are all my people.
Oh, I got two people. I'm cool with it.
- Hey, what are you doing, buddy? Are you lost?
Get over here. What are you doing, silly?
Dude, they're oblivious. This is awesome.
- Beautiful. "Secure the throne room."
Oh, there's another objective. Okay, let's do it.
- Okay, we're gonna go around. No, no.
Lost control. Dammit.
- All right, we got 34 guys now. Nice, got him.
Hi, have a grenade.
- Whoo! Oh, I have a missile.
Oh, we only have 16 more lives. Balls.
Um, shit, we've come too far to end this now, guys.
Come on.
- ♪ (defeated music) ♪ - Dammit.
That was very hectic. I felt like that was more hectic
than the first time.
- Securing the throne room is a much bigger pain in the ass
than anticipated. Sad, we were so close.
- Probably shouldn't choose a sniper if we're running in,
but hey, you know. We'll see how this works.
I'll provide cover to my teammates. Are they already shooting at me?
They're already-- Oh, we only got one guy left.
We lost. No!
When we were on defense, we stopped them
at the first task, just escorting the tank.
We got all the way to the last one.
- I liked it, 'cause it didn't feel
like Call of Duty or Destiny. It felt like Star Wars.
- It's an absolutely beautiful game. You feel like you are
a trooper in the Star Wars movies. It's awesome.
- Everything everybody wanted from Battlefront,
is what Battlefront II is doing. I'm very excited for the full game.
