After the languid expectation of the heart of millions of fans, they again hid in the rhythm of the imperial march: following the reboot Star Wars: Battlefront A new episode has appeared "Star Wars" , And the sequel of creations Dice quickly burst into the most anticipated online shooters of the year. The developers honestly added to the beta version everything that was shown in gameplay rollers and presentations.

Armed with a light sword, we went to get acquainted with beta version Star Wars: Battlefront 2.

The official trailer of Beta.

New hope

Having borrowed the soundtrack and the picture at the first part, Dice turned to the original 2005. As then, the player has a choice of several classes: shooter, heavy fighter, officer and specialist. It will not work to create a universal soldier – each is equipped with a certain type of weapon. Now the main thing in the game is a well -coordinated teamwork, and therefore one should approach the choice of the class thoughtfully: if there are only specialists on the map, they cannot overcome the gigantic MTT.

Unique abilities help to smooth out "class" differences. For example, a heavy fighter, in addition to a massive gun, wears a shield that withstands any onslaught, and an officer, instead of increasing the fighting spirit of the detachment, can stand behind a portable blasther turret.

Otherwise, Battlefront began to be more like a classic shooter: the weapon finally had a return. As before, the barrel overheats, but it can be cooled by clicking on a certain button, as well as improve, adding modifications. In addition to the main weapon, each fighter has an additional gun or explosives in the event of an attack with an unusual distance. The officer can throw the enemy with contact grenades, and the specialist has a laser mine.

It has become more difficult to play by heroes: the owners of laser swords lost their endurance, and therefore it will not work to cut off the hordes of enemies without a break. The rest of the system is the same: the iconic characters of the movie series participate in the battle literally to death.

You can pump your fighter, as before, with the help of star maps: you can equip up to three at a time. There are four types – ordinary, unusual, rare and epic – and differ in effectiveness on the battlefield. Passive cards by default include one of the given effects – for example, with a defender’s card for each unit of damage the player, additional glasses are awarded – but the maps of abilities replace standard skills with advanced skills. Improving the “reinforced watch” instead of the basic gun gives to shoot from a more powerful automatic blaster, which, however, can not leave – you can only shoot from the place.

They have not yet been given stars.

Cards can be scattered, received as a reward for top places in battles or find in containers – for this fantastic body kit you will have to give very real money. In addition, the developers processed the bonuses system: now everyone receives a reward in good faith, and its size depends on how many points the player “shot” for the round. You can lower intra -game money on technology and heroes; When buying https://sister-site.org/euphoria-wins/ the latter, all the remaining glasses are reset.

How all this will affect the balance of the game, it is not yet clear, but the remuneration system looks fair, and not so expensive, certainly cheaper than Season Pass, the first Battlefront.

Having spent all your savings on the hero, you begin to protect him.

On the dark side

Official trailer.

Having stuffed cones on the first game, Dice added a full -fledged single campaign. The plot connects the events of the sixth and seventh episodes. Having achieved the fall of the Imperials, the rebels restore the world in the galaxy. But soon a new threat arises: the devoted followers of the emperor revived Vader's heritage and founded the first order. Having made the destruction of the second star of the death, Eden Versio, an officer of the elite detachment of the Inferno Empire, begun to take revenge. We will play for it.

Imperials otherwise see mercy and good nature of resistance, so the campaign will be older and will reveal the new facets of the world of Star Wars. Unfortunately, it is not possible to evaluate the new story yet – the plot will be unlocked only after the release.

More about Eden Versio can be learned from the book “Front Line: INFFERNO STARD”.

But the developers showed an arcade regime. You can shred enemies in the halls of the Palace Tida in the role of Darth Mola, rocket droid and the famous R0-GRR. At the initial level, it is necessary to destroy twenty -five enemies in twenty seconds, while an additional time is given for each murder. For professionals, complicated regimes are displayed, where you have to withstand thirty enemies in twenty and ten seconds.

A similar timer was in the original game of 2005, when the time of the "action" of the heroes could be extended by murders.

In addition to the specified scenarios, a fully adjustable arcade regime with the choice of location and the battle participants will open. And one who is not yet ready for a real battle will be able to hone their skills in training mode: in it the soldiers of the first order reflect the attack on the resistance to the Starkiller base. You can go through mission both alone and in a cooperative with a separated screen.

In one of the trailers, the Tauntauna, sled animals that live on the planet hot flashed, but there is no such possibility in beta versions.

Through the star eras

The developers have opened three multiplayer modes: Galactic Assault, Starfighter Assault and Strike. In the first, forty players are simultaneously fighting on the NABU map: resistance is trying to get to the royal palace of TIDA and grab the control point. Compared to the first part, the fight is more dynamic: as soon as the players reach an intermediate goal, the front line is shifted and the fighting is transferred to the new area of ​​the map. The same modes are in Battlefield 1 And For Honor.

The most experienced warriors can facilitate this task and, having gained enough points, grab one of the four heroes – Khan Solo, Darth Mola, Ray or Bob Fett. Slightly less successful-to sit in an all-terrain vehicle AT-RT, a Star fighter N-1 or ATT armored system, but they will also have to fall off a couple of thousand points earned later and blood.

In Galactic Assault mode, all the heroes and events are interspersed, so Khan Solo can easily meet Darth Mola.

The battle in Strike invites sixteen players to be measured, eight in each team. In the beta version, the battle took place in the new location on the planet Takodan: there the monumental palace of MAZ rumors, the shelter of pirates and spies, which appears in the seventh episode, rises there. Here, resistance is repulsed by the first order: he arrived at the planet to capture the Jedi artifact. The one who will faster defeat the enemy in a fierce struggle for the treasure will win. You can cheer up for Chubakka and Ray from the seventh episode.

On such, we were scared by Chubakka to death.

The most long -awaited regime of the new Star Wars is space battles that have loved the players since the original game. In the beta version, twenty-four players fight the bots help over the airspace over the stock. As before, the battle passes in stages and comes down to protecting its ships and destroying the strategic points of the enemy. Three classes of starships are available for players – a fighter, interceptor and bomber, each with special skills.

The developers removed a homing sight-to fix the target, now it is necessary to hang on the opponent for some time on the tail. This is not so difficult to do – the sight has become more mobile, and the shields of spaceships are quickly restored and absorb damage.

To fly into the enemy hangar and arrange a sabotage in the traditions of the original, but to grab one of the legendary ships – easily! But on the "Falcon of the Millennium" or "Ipsilon" Kylo Rena will also have to go broke.

Explosion "Falcon of Millennium" with your own hands is priceless.

In addition to these modes, it is planned to be an epic battle of heroes and villains, where eight players will collide on the battlefield, and you can enter into a fight in close combat in Blast mode, in which up to twenty players act simultaneously. But in Beta, nothing of this was shown.

Even more screenshots from Star Wars Battlefront 2

Even more video and trailers on Star Wars Battlefront 2

Returning the classes, adding a plot campaign and completely processing the battle system, Dice gave an adult and deep game. We hope that after the release we will see even more battles, heroes and crushing weapons from the world of "Star Wars".
