Hey, and welcome to another Battlefront update a week ago i put a video demonstrating my disappointment and concern for the arcade mode
in Star Wars Battlefront 2
There were those of you who full heartedly agreed with me and also those who just simply didn't get it and that's fine
If you have good internet an online subscription if you're on console and never have friends come over for couch co-op
and yeah i'd say you really don't have a reason to care about Arcade mode at all
But, for all those people who aren't in the same position as you then of course it's a different story now
i'm not gonna go into explaining again why i think arcade mode is a
disappointment or anything like that if
you want
To see what my thoughts an opinion on that matter is i highly recommend you check out my video i made all about that as
i laid out my concerns pretty well over there and we don't really need to videos about me talking about the same thing again now
Do we nope and this is why this video is a simple follow up to the last one as
I know many of the negative comments from that video were people complaining that i was complaining about a mode for a game that
hadn't even come out yet and that i was judging the whole mode based on the beta yeah valid arguments
but at the same time i never seen any evidence saying otherwise that had solid proof that Arcade mode on launch day
would have more contents than what is in the beta and
Neither have they so that's just assumptions made up by the people defending the arcade mode a little hypocritical don't you think?
Anyways with the beta release recently known hacker uninspired zebra was able to gain access to the game files and actually cracked arcade mode
Allowing us to see what is revealed inside
Suffice to say it isn't all that much
First of all in arcade there will be about two modes available to play team battle and onslaught
team battle is pretty much a team based deathmatch mode with ai and no objectives
you just hop it into a game and just shoot down enemy troops
the other is a mode called onslaught where you wipe out opposing troopers within a given time limit
no, real surprise is there as if you play the arcade mode in the then you played pretty much both these modes already in the
Cracked arcade mode we get to see mostly a complete arcade mode with battle scenarios
for both the light side and a dark side
Now granted the light side only has one battle scenario listed here and it isn't in complete yet
But the dark side battle scenarios look
To be all complete all the battle scenarios are a mixture of either team battle or onslaught by now onto the fun part the actual
Customization of arcade mode in arcade we will have access to only 6 maps: Tatooine, Yavin 4,
Kamino, Naboo, Starkiller Base and Takodana
That's actually one less than what we had available to us in skirmish mode in Battlefront 1 as
we had about 7 maps available and walker assault plus 5 for fighter squadron
all adding up to 12 maps in total for offline content while in battlefront 2 only 6 maps for offline
So i'm not exactly sure where all these other maps went to
also keep in mind that all these maps are small-scale
maps
so they're not big or anything like that it seems that the large-scale maps will only be available in online multiplayer in
Terms of trooper count arcade mode limits players to only ten troopers maximum per side while two is the minimum
you, can of course choose and modify the trooper difficulty health their classes along with setting up team battles where it's only heroes vs
Heroes much like the hero missions from Battlefront 1 as you may have also noticed
There's no
mention of objective oriented game modes like they Galactic assault or starfighter assault or
really anything that allows us to play as vehicles
so it just a heads up for anyone who is looking forward to that in arcade mode
I also don't get that peel or the point of battle scenarios here as there are all just games that the player
themselves can create in custom arcade there's absolutely nothing here that makes the battle scenarios
Really stand out on their own i can even go as far as
To say the missions from battlefront 1 were better as there at least you got to play in vehicles
Play through specific objective type games that range from basic to very unique like the speeder bike chase on endor
along with seeing fun short cutscenes there's actually a point to playing those missions at least just to experience them
For one time now battle scenarios
I don't really see that happening here
Also it should be noted that the Battlefront 1 beta menu was
Practically identical to the full game so the chances of this being part of the full game are pretty high of
Course having said that perhaps down the road dice can introduce more arcade modes as dlc if they see the demand for it and that's
the key word here
demand and the only way for them
To see a demand is for offline player voices to be heard
which is exactly why videos like this need to be made and shown to as many people as possible
otherwise dice may never realize what they need to improve on or even improve at all in arcade
Personally i think arcade mode is moving in the right direction and i'm happy to see all these kinds of
customization options available to us as we didn't have this kind of freedom in skirmish mode and i definitely see a lot of potential here
But of course at the same time i also see dice and criteria on missing out on that set potential by limiting the arcade mode
To only 10 v 10 no vehicles or no space combat
hopefully they take our feedback and implement these types of changes as that will only make their customers happy
Which is what every business should want but as always now that i've said my piece i want to hear your take on all this
What's your opinion on the current arcade mode?
Do you also think that the battle
scenarios could have at least been a little bit more unique and less generic? and do you also think that dice will add more maps
To arcade as well when new dlc hits the game or well we only be limited to 6 small scale maps to entire time
tell me that and everything else in the comments down below
