Star Wars Battlefront II - PC

[mirth]

I have no doubt I'll pick this up at some point (my son is already badgering me about it) but it will be when it is steeply discounted. However, I will admit to being more than a bit jealous of you guys who have it already.

Surprisingly not tacked on and not awful is more what I'd say. 

It's fun, it's a very good compliment to the game and it's got a few really good story beats that add something to the canon.  It also adds a better understanding to who and what the First Order is and stands for in the sequels.  I'm shocked that I enjoyed it, as I expected DICE to just bolt on a story light bot fest. 

This is completely in line with what I've been reading in reviews.

How very annoying. I started downloading this over 3 hours ago.

2 screens opened up...both showing a counter for download - one was the Battlefront II window and the other was my Origin window.

I left both open - not wanting to break the download process. When I came back in my fans were going mental on my computer and it had still only downloaded 50% or so. I decided to kill the Battlefront II window because all 4 cores were running at 70% and memory in use was up to 6GB.

As soon as I closed that window, fans slowed, my 4 cores dropped to 20%, my memory is down to 3GB and - more importantly - download is estimated at 20 minutes!!

So that Battlefront II window - which was doing sod all - was hogging my entire system AND slowing my download considerably!!

I think the Battlefront II window that opens during download is a portal to play around in arcade mode while it downloads.   Not 100% sure though since I preloaded.

Origin should download everything on its own.

It was - but I was wary to shut it for fear of stopping the huge download.

I very baffled why a window - which appeared to do nothing apart from show a counter was ramming my memory and all 4 cores

Let your jealousy turn to anger.  Embrace your hatred and let it fuel you!  It gives you focus, makes you stronger!

Give in to your feelings!

Only that way can you bring true peace and justice to the Galaxy.

That's what she said!

[SirAndrewD]

Aha!  Saw what you did there.

Anyway, anyone wants to friend me, I'm SargePinback in Origin.  Not like we can play together as far as I can see, at least in the current form of the matchmaking system. 

20,000 Quatloos to those that get what my Origin name refers to.
