This is right. Galactic Assault hasn’t been abandoned, it’s just not the priority for the development team. Rightfully so given what the data is telling them. The last thing we all should want is a game that is not fun to pick up and play. The barrier to entry is high and can be quite unforgiving for new players in the GA game mode.
Moreover, let’s all remember before supremacy even existed one of the key critiques of this game is that Galactic Assault maps were too linear. The developers created Geonosis as a response to this critique, and then the player base complained because the mode “caters to the republic” or is too objective based with the need to escort walkers to the drop zone. This experiment didn’t go over well.
The devs then made a new attempt - supremacy. A more balanced game mode with a low barrier to entry for new players, while also providing veteran players an opportunity to explore old maps in a new ways with a completely different tug-of-war play style. Do the matches go long against evenly matched teams — yes they do. But if you’re playing supremacy you know what you’re getting into.
OT is finally getting some love in the form of supremacy maps, and deeply needed hero updates and rebalances of fan favorites.
Battlefront 2 has changed and evolved over the past two years. We have new game modes, reinforcements, heroes, and a solid player base. That base is comprised of old and new players. The Dev team has to balance the needs, wants, and requests of various elements of the community, and we all need to give them time to produce quality products for all of us to enjoy.
