Nice. Can you tell us more about the classes and abilities?


Each one has its own set of weapons and abilities. You unlock different abilities and can assign three at a time. Haven't really messed around with the abilities too much to be honest.

I ordered it. Will be here Wednesday. I joined the Best Buy Gamers Club. The discounts for Battlefront 2 and the Deluxe Lego Marvel 2 game I got for the kids for Switch paid for it already.

Complaints are overstated, imo. People expecting a stable, healthy career in games are deluding themselves.

Yes. Crunch time sucks when you're pushing 100 hours a week.

Played a few matches in Battlefront 2. Seems like more Battlefront with more variety in locales. The different classes/vehicles are fun to play around with. I was able to finish each match in the upper half of the leaderboard. Seems like the matchmaking is fair so far.

I played a couple matches of glactic conquest which was pretty good. I fared middle of the pack which makes sense since for my first few matches. The class system adds a level of complexity that is kind of daunting at first. Seems like it’s going to take a little while to be able to upgrade a class or two to a level where I have some decent abilities and star cards though. I do really like the battle points system for getting heroes and vehicles instead of the pickups from the last game, and respawning with a squad is nice too. Overall I’m pleased with it after a short go.

Most I’ve just been playing the campaign and a few arcade levels so far though since I didn’t really have any real game time until today.

Absolutely. I love the platforming areas after the story is over.

Wow, good work. I plan to play a lot when I bring the Switch back home for Thanksgiving. I'm around 500 right now.

Showed my wife Skyrim Switch and she was pretty excited about the idea of being able to play it wherever. She still has moments of being bedridden and we got a Steam thing so she could play on the TV instead of sitting in the computer chair but that had too much lag. Have to see how the game runs on the Switch now.

I've heard good things about the Switch version. That game would be great on the go.

Meeting the deadline for a huge, AAA level game like battlefield 2 can be brutal. I've read some articles on the working conditions and it sounded rough. They get paid well, at least most of the time but the quality of life sounds pretty awful.

'Blood, sweat and Pixels' is a good book about it.
