Vehicles do alot less splash damage in SWBF2, you have to hit your target almost head on in order to do anydamage with lasers, rockets still have decent splash damage though.

[MandaloreBIC]

it makes sense, the ppl who got vehicles own WAY too much in battlefront 1...... and it's fair, after all, if your in a vehicle you won't get 5 times more kills (thus points) then the other guy (whos acutally better then you) and you get to be the team hero, adn you screwed up your team!!! (no offense), see it works.....

Exactly, now vehicles take some skill to use, your still threatening to infantry, but you can't just sit around and spawn camp, unless you want to be sliced out of your vehicle or get a time bomb planted on your critical point.

I agree with the "nerfing" of the vehicles. In Bfront 1, you could just hop in an AT-ST and kill everyone by holding the mouse button.

 

About commands for the NPCs : I have finally figured out how they work, and I think it's a definite improvement over Bfront 1. For those wondering, you have to target one of your buddies and hit F4 to add him to your squad. You can then give specific commands to your squad with the other F-keys, though I haven't experienced much with this yet. I do think that forming your own squad is a nice little feature.

Gamespot review gave it a 7.8 out of 10: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/starwarsbattlefront2/review.html.

For PS2, Gamespot gave it a 8.1.......

[Commander Obi-Wan]

I'd have to give it an 8 now....not as good as I excepted it to be. The Space Battles aren't as good as I would've liked, and some levels aren't in there as I would have also liked to see.

[Redtech]

I'd give it a 6. Mainly becaue it's very repetitive on your own. Some levels are really nice, but some of them are so painfully annoying, you wonder how the hell anyone ever could have done it. (Death Star and Polis Massa).

 

Nice campaign presentation, but there are some really nasty objectives and difficulty spikes pretty nastily. I'm never conviced "why" I need to guard a command post for the 15th time, more contextual tasks (like on Mygeeto) would have been great. Those actually made sense.

 

Space levels fun, but need lots of humans to make it fun, as bots are surprisingly dumb. A shame as the AI in Single player is a lot more agressive. I don't mind the V-Wing as a bomber, I see it in a similar way to the US Fighter-bombers we have nowadays, and invasions are FUNNY.

 

Spoof levels are a nice after-thought, such as Tatooine Assault and Hunt Mode, but not something that is too brilliant. Fun, but not the meat of the product.

 

Replayability is really low though. Once you've clocked SP and Galactic conquest, it's only online, no new maps, mod tools are in the twilight zone.

Why are they funny? I agree with your other opinion.

[Redtech]

I call it an "invasion" when I fly an empty gunship into a hanger. Bots then spawn from it, causing lots of chaos. I just find it amusing, because the enemy ship is overwhelmed and I can run around sabotaging systems as needed.

[Master William]

I gave it 8. I considered a 9, because I play it often and a lot. This game actually turned out great, but I don't like the online play, the bots, and that's about it.

 

I don't believe this game was meant for online gaming anyway, I seem to have much more fun in offline mode anyway. I've tried it online with Xbox at a friend's house, but I have it for PC.
