Second, you can earn them by completing weekly and daily challenges in the Career tab. Credits are earned after each mission, whether you win or lose, and even via the offline Arcade missions as well. First, you can outright buy them using the in-game currency Credits. Yes, we all love a good RNG, don’t we? These Crates can be earned easily enough in-game through a couple different methods. So far in the beta, each class is limited to two weapons, the second of which you must unlock via the new Crates, Battlefront II’s take on the latest trend in gaming: loot boxes. Each has their own weapons and upgrade cards, and even distinct victory poses. Ground troops come in four main flavors: Assault, Heavy, Officer, and Specialist. New to EA’s Battlefront II is the inclusion of a Class system. These matches can get long, but there is simply no other experience like being on a battlefield in the Star Wars universe vying for control in a gorgeously rendered environment. The only map available for this mode during the beta is the battle for Theed on Naboo, where the Separatists launch an assault on the capital city to capture the palace and force a surrender. This mode is what I would call the main draw in Star Wars Battlefront II’s roster of game modes: these maps involve you and your team either attacking or defending a series of objectives with up to 40 players total. I started with the Galactic Assault mission, which the beta prompted me, to begin with anyways. This put a fantastic atmospheric effect on me as I prepared to enter my first mission.
There’s a static-y distortion to the menus and the HUD that really makes it feel as if it’s being projected in front of me.
Right away upon logging in I noticed the main menu resembles much the same that I remember from the first Star Wars Battlefront, with minor UI elements that really draw you in. But how does this sequel fare when compared to EA’s first Battlefront? Here are our impressions of the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Open Beta: I got a chance to go hands-on a couple days early in the closed beta stage, a pre-order bonus for those who already reserved their copies. Thankfully, EA is having an Open Beta going on right now and up through the weekend until it closes down October 9 th.
But distance is relative and, compared to the launch of EA’s Star Wars Battlefront, we are mere parsecs away from the highly anticipated Star Wars Battlefront II coming November 17. On a PlayStation far, far away… I played the Star Wars Battlefront II Open Beta.
