I tend to mostly play ARPGs like Diablo 3 and Grim Dawn... Those can be played for insane amounts of time with different classes/builds to change things up.

I'd say that I more than get my money's worth out of them.

Nothing like treating a $60 game like a free to play mobile game:

(3 hour arcade mode cool down period)
Wow they actually want you to play the campaign or against other people to earn rewards instead of farming credits from easy to kill AI? This is a non-issue.

No, it's an actual issue. The arcade mode isn't a cheap exploit (like, say, holding down a controller button with a clamp to earn credits while you're not actually playing). It's a legit mode and if it's your favorite mode you are essentially handicapped because of it.

Is arcade mode basically like the selectable map mode in the OG SWBF2 where you could just go in and play conquest?

Is it unethical to watch a slaughter take place even if you take great satisfaction from it?

watching the reactions of these people on reddit is like this fascinating look into what obsessive and anti-social people speak like.

i was really excited about the first game 2 years ago, especially with the film's hype train full steam ahead. as great as it looked I hated it. same thing for this one. looks great, but I learned my lesson and might buy it used in a few years.

My understanding is the arcade mode is set up to be a testing grounds to prepare players for the multiplayer, and campaign. They'd rather people play those types I suppose. I simply think there are other issues worth addressing.

The loading screens are terribly long, a bunch of error message pop ups, and that whole quitting the game at the end glitch is still there. Thought they'd have those bugs fixed.
The hangup when trying to quit is a Frostbite engine bug, dating back to the earliest days of BF4. It's still in BF1, but I think they finally patched it out of BF4. :lol:

I thought they did as well as expected under the circumstances. Most of the answers are vague and they're doing their best to say the right thing but users are still burying them. Luckily a mod stickied a post compiling their responses as the massive down votes make them hard to find.

One thing they did answer is that they are working a way to keep parties together for spawn waves, so you have a snowball’s chance in hell to actually play with friends on the same server.

I played Battlefront 2 last night with two buddies I haven't played with since COD4, MW2 days. It was a good time, the heroes vs villains is the best game mode. The party feature worked well, I joined their on going game and we didn't get the party broken up all night.

There are reports that the microtransaction store inside BF2 has disappeared tonight. EA announcement incoming.

Unless this is just temporary, this is a huge win for gamers.

So they’re just going to wait for the hubbub to die down then turn it back on and hope nobody notices.
