They certainly did, BF4 infantry models and hitboxes are slightly smaller than BF3 and BC2 character models and hitboxes, for.... reasons?The White Hunter said:

I'm just wishing they'd port Star Wars Battlefront to the PC, some big re-release. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is fun and all but I did enjoy the close air support of Star Wars Battlefront. As for Star Wars Battlefront I haven't touched it yet, not sure if I will.
...the first battlefront was released on pc?Xan Krieger said:
either that, or I don't know what I'm staring at in front of me right now that I got for 20 bucks on amazon...
here ya go [http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Battlefront-Pc/dp/B000VVEMXY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8]
otherwise I don't recommend touching the new one, it's a half baked re-boot and won't be worth it at all until they iron it out and do a GOTY edition after all the expensive dlc is released.
At this point I'm just gonna blame the fact that I only check Steam and GOG for games so the fact that it exists is a surprise to me, thanks for showing me I was wrong.gmaverick019 said:
yeah, took me few hours as well to reach 5 but for some reason i have never gotten 3 cards. only 2. for some reasons i could not unlock the third one.piscian said:
im not really a star wars fan. i enjoy them for what they are and have some games as well like the jedi knight series. i also have the dvds as well since they are a fun watch.
but this game now, no, will not get it. looks and sounds awesome but i care more about a SP game than a MP only game.
Yeah, canonically, the rebels lose on Hoth, and the Empire lose on Endor, but in terms of gameplay, I cannot imagine that too many people would be thrilled to play on a map, where they are pretty much guaranteed to lose if they are put on the canonically losing team.John the Gamer said:
OT: Can't say that I enjoyed the game all that much. Sure, the game was damn pretty, and it sounded great, but that alone cannot carry a game. Weapon variety was too low and very samey, spawns were dreadful, the game was weighted against the Rebels, the shooting felt very weak, and it all culminated in a game that just felt very boring to me.
A lot of people say "Oh, well EA's Battlefront is just a Star Wars reskin of Battlefield", and I disagree with that; because if it was, I would have had fun.
That's no beta. It's a demo.
Basically, the mode works in a way where, if both sides are just derping (which will happen a lot in multiplayer games where people don't communicate, especially at the start when people don't understand how it works), Empire just wins on default because... well, they win on default. Their job is to deflect the Rebel attack on the AT-ATs, if there's no attack, then there doesn't need to be any defense, the AT-ATs just keep moving towards their goal.
However, if the Rebels are actually working to destroy the AT-ATs, the mode may in fact be Rebel biased. I had a game where we destroyed the AT-ATs on the first Y wing attack. Have you ever found an Orbital Strike pickup on the Rebel side? You probably tossed that bad boy onto the first trooper you saw out in the open field. Here's the kicker, those things do 50% of an AT-ATs health. And you don't lose them if you die, so you can just keep them until the AT-ATs are vulnerable, then bam, 25% of your side's objective is done by one dude in a single attack that took him a second to set up, after which he was free to keep nuking them with whatever else he had.
On top of that, aircraft does quite a bit of damage to them as well. You got aerial superiority as Rebels (not too hard, the shield the Rebels have on the ships is borderline OP)? The AT-ATs are gonna take a ton of damage. That's not even taking into account that the Speeders can one shot them in the third phase if the pilot is skilled.
So yeah, Rebels have a lot of ways to win that mode. However, most/all of those ways can similarly be counterplayed. Hell, even the Y-wings themselves can be destroyed by the Imperial aircraft, lowering the time Rebels have to damage the AT-ATs. Ultimately, it mostly comes down to objective control and how many Y-wings the Rebels can call in (the longer you hold the "flags", the more Y wings you get). If they get a few, they'll have too little time to set up the big damage dealers. If they get a lot, they'll have plenty of time... though they'll need some stuff to nuke them with as well. All of this not taking into account that there are weapons/cards in the game that are especially useful/damaging against vehicles that were not available in the "Beta".
Yep, Y wings make the AT-ATs temporarily vulnerable during their attack. The more Y-wings Rebels get, the more time they have to damage them.TorchofThanatos said:
