Welcome back mau5!
Number of maps is often my biggest issue with console multiplayer shooters. Even back in the day I’d complain. When Gears 3 released with too few maps and I’m like, there were all these great maps I love in gears 1 and 2!” In my opinion the games should launch with their 9 new maps, but also include every map from all the previous games too, and then they’d have easily enough content. It never made sense to me. COD was the same way. Battlefield, kinda made sense with the changing timelines, but I actually miss a lot of those really old Battlefield maps…
ANyway. Star wars Battlefront 2 has been out forever, and I love the starfighter mode so much. It’s the only mode I play. But there’s no point playing it anymore, it has like 5 maps and they havent bothered to add a new one since just after launch. They’ve completely ignored it. I’ve seen every map like a thousand times. We need more maps in these F-ing games. 50 should be the norm. Halo the Master Chief Collection should be the norm. Imagine. Gears 5 just adds to the hub and you can just search for all the maps at once from every game… oh wait Gears 5 is out already. And I have gamepass, just haven’t bothered to play it yet… and it used to be my fav xbox franchise. f-kin maps.
Looks neat. Can I play on PC instead?
I can’t go back to using a controller in shooters after getting used to Mouse and Keyboard…
The cryengine does work on switch
I can’t believe we are getting a sort of COD game on the Switch. Plus for free.
Oh yeah, Warface is gnarly. It’ll be played on my switch.
