Thank god they nerfed the DL44.

jmc88883818d ago

Not really. It was a short range weapon, just about every person with a longer range weapon can dust someone using it.

Just don't get close.

It seems people don't like the tradeoffs that exist. Since they nerf this, they should nerf everything else, like the T21 and T21-B, homing and that other one.

The thing you don't realize is that there were extremes across all the different weapons and cards of the game. It made it fun because there was such variety.

Now in reality they made things more unbalanced, and will have to nerf about 10 more things.

ThePope3818d ago

I cant imagine trying to balance all those different system. Because you're right if you balance one things 10 other things will need it. Then if you overbalance (which is the real meaning of NERF, not just balancing something) 10 different things will need balance and so on. That sounds gross.

ninsigma3818d ago

Ah now, it was more mid ranged than short. Absolute pain of a gun.

eyeDEVOUR3817d ago

@the pope..
dude its not that hard to balance 11weapons..lol especially when they dont even have attachments

chrisco84au3817d ago

Where does it say they nerfed the DL44? is there a more comprehensive list?

Not disagreeing, just looking for a full list :)

madmonkey013817d ago

cant say i noticed any nerf to it tbh.

jmc88883818d ago

Barrage fuse seems like it has been doubled,maybe more.

What's dumb about it is that you can see them flying at you, it's not hard to miss three red things flying at you... so you already had a heads up, and even before I ran away successfully the vast majority of the time. Now it's just ridiculous.

The DL-44 might have been slightly nerfed. Still got a bunch of kills.

Turning point mode is pretty fun, and Battle of Jakku map is nice.

SnotyTheRocket3818d ago

Barrage is a stupid card anyway. Shouldn't have even been in the damn game.

Allsystemgamer3817d ago (Edited 3817d ago )

Uh no it isn't. It was very useful for clearing bunkers. You HAD to be accurate with it now it's unusable.

SnotyTheRocket3817d ago

@Allsystem Seriously? Shooting it down a hallway, with no way to avoid it took skill?

Allsystemgamer3817d ago

You can say that about any weapon in the game. You can stand at a hallway and fire down the the heavy blasters or use an impact grenade.

SnotyTheRocket3817d ago

Yes, but with a blaster, there are ways to get out, or counter. With 3 grenades just flying at you out of God knows where, you can't do shit.

Dario_DC3817d ago

Barrage is just dumb and super casual but so is the DL44 that everyone seems to use! They nerfed it but not by much. I don't because I didn't pay 10 extra €uros just for a gun.

Stapleface3818d ago

I'm just surprised the game was some how turned into an MMO with the update. I'll have to check that out..lol

Since when was star wars battlefront a massively multipler online game? When you refer to games with that title, you take into account how many people are in the gaming world, how many are congrigating in a games biggest and most popular city, not a game that has 20v20console and some more on pc. Unless its a huge ammount or players in the game at any one time mostly role play games, the word massive can not even be put in the same bracket. Only some pc shooter could even be named as an mmo shooter..

Xbox one might have a couple upcoming though in the way of crackdown and gears 4, i had seen on my xbox one in market that it had said before the window 10 update, gears 4 was 99v99, would be awsome if that were the case, crackdown will be 100 players. It is about bloody time developers started pushing the ammount of players on console..

Stapleface3818d ago

It's not but seems there are some people here who think other wise. Or they can't take a joke.

swordmasterman3817d ago

WoW 99x99 ?, this will need a very Big Map.

The93Sting3818d ago

"A new patch for the Massively Multiplayer Online shooter Star Wars.."

Uhmm, what? Do you know what you're talking about? Do you know gaming at all?
MMO? Really? LOL

qcjoe3817d ago

How has a game like that not been made?

The93Sting3817d ago (Edited 3817d ago )

I know right? EA don't know WTF they're doing with a big franchise like this, instead of improving on what was (and still) battlefront 2, the best star wars game in the franchise to date, they come up with this
hell the battlefront 3 that was cancelled years ago looked and probably played miles better than this piece of crap!
