  • Wow...it kinda sucks! Battlegrounds is NOT what I'd call fun. They need to make it LESS BF1942, and MORE like the movies. Here's what I think needs to be changed:

    1. The damn weapon energy thing. I have NEVER ONCE seen those rolling robots from Episode 1 stop to wait for their guns to charge back up. I would have done that more like tribes where you're able to shoot as many times as you can until you run OUT of ammo, then run to a refeuling spot to gain it back. I HATE being able to shoot for 10 seconds and having to scurry away until my weapon recharges....major gayness.

    2. Not enough detail between robots or storm troopers...and where are the vehicles and aircraft from episode one and two? I see no transports, I see no dual tiltwheel buggies, why not?

    3. No sense of speed...if I sit on a speeder, why do I not go ripping off at high speed? Its slightly faster than some of the other vehicles in the game...whee. and please tell me WHY OH WHY do you make an AT-ST that walks AND shoots slow? Those are super easy chicken kills. Any fools with a rocket launcher can rack up a nice score taking those things out!

    4. Rocket launchers...and maybe im doing it wrong, but I cannot get any to "heatseek" which id personally think they would have invented by now...its easy to get raped by another team running all air vehicles when some of the levels seem way off balance.

    5. AI...um so Darth Vader is a badass...why in gods name is he sitting in the corner of a doorway swiping at dead people? Why do all the heroes act like they took an overdose of ambien and either hallucinate or stand still? Why do the opposing forces on Single player gather around ONE checkpoint and gang up on everyone>? Its definitely not using the BF1942 AI, which had so much scattering among AI players it was TOO easy...

    6. I do like the levels (although some are pathetically small), and I do like most of the vehicles, and I do like the whole "if a teammate is standing with you near a checkpoint the time goes faster" thing. Dont get me wrong, its not a HORRIBLE game, but i really hope they listen to the fans when it comes to be patch time.
