The new Star Cards are also pretty cool despite lacking any sort of originality. Enjoy it while you can though IвЂ™d be extremely surprised if DICE didnвЂ™t have a nerf in the pipeline. Although a tiny bit cumbersome it is now my go-to choice, as it isВ many players. Fairly easy to aim, these shots will kill on impact with decent spread damage. While competent enough as a mid-range blaster, it doubles up as a devastating grenade launcher. Players have already taken an extreme liking to the TR-50. Naturally, this makes them two of the most powerful and versatile guns in the gameвЂ™s arsenal. Unlike many of BattlefrontвЂ™s stock weapons, the K-16 Bryar Pistol and TR-50 Heavy Repeater come with a secondary fire option. Take a moment to explore and youвЂ™ll find a number of familiar locales embedded within each map.Дeath StarвЂ™s new blasters and Star Cards helped to mask my disappointment somewhat. Once again DICE has absolutely nailed the sights and sounds of the original Star Wars trilogy. A congested network of narrow tunnels occasionally open into larger halls and command decks though, for most part, youвЂ™ll be fighting close quarters. ItвЂ™s a shame, as the Death Star has quite a bit to offer. WhatвЂ™s worse is that, in order to even get to this new mode, players are forced to wade through that initial air conflict. And although the escort-style round can be fun, it barely holds a candle to Extraction or Sabotage. While the core shooting gameplay has been expanded and refined, dogfightingВ feels incredibly basic by comparison. At launch, BattlefrontвЂ™s dogfights were a welcome distraction though not an essential part of the experience. Having played several matches, itвЂ™s perhaps the only game mode I wonвЂ™t make a point of going back to. With intel on the Death StarвЂ™s weak points, these Rebel targets must enter its confined trenches in search of a weak spot. This time, Darth Vader and his TIE pilots are actively hunting down X-Wings. Unlike the first round, things are a little different. If R2 manages to escape, players are treated to yet another space battle. If a Rebel manages to break through and activate the droid, it will make a beeline for the objective, though it can be stopped if damaged badly. Switching from air to land, and the Imperials are on the defensive once again, tasked with stopping R2-D2 from reaching an extraction point. If successful, the Rebels will land a transport ship inside VaderвЂ™s moon-like fortress. Rebels and Imperials face-off as the attacker try to down a Star Destroyer. Split into three parts, it kicks off with a space battle surrounding the Death Star.
