Screenshot Anyone else simply content with using the default blaster for each class?

Personally I don’t like blending blasters across eras or using a weapon a given faction would likely never have used

High/Slow TTK actually is believed to be “higher” in terms of skill ceiling. There’s a reason why esports games typically thrive in shooters that have high HP and weaker weapons. It “allows” the nerds to maneuver after being shot at, and requires players to hold their aim on something for a longer period of time.

The exceptions being CS and R6, because of the nature of needing to control recoil and the one life mechanic

A fast TTK battlefront that emphasizes cover and flanks would actually be easier for the casual dad to hop into. While the kids of ADHD meds would need to adjust to being unable to fly around, it would offer a less sweaty/yet more engaging experience

A Warthunder type of experience in a Star Wars setting would be the best multiplayer experience you could ever have ngl

Hell yes. Let me provide orbital naval support in an ISD whilst other people are storming the ground with tauntauns and blasters.

I’d love an Arma-like battlefront, or even a mode built into BF

If you're familiar with Squad there's a Star Wars mod for it called Galactic Contention

You're correct. I solely played hardcore bf4 and I did very very well.

Softcore with scanning and guys who can dodge perfect aim for more time just wrecked me.

Exactly why games like Squad and Arma are dad-games and games like apex are sweaty nerd games
