Who's picking up SW Battlefront? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

Re: Who's picking up SW Battlefront?

WOW!

This game is an absolute BLAST! I have to admit though, it's a bit underwhelming initially... felt like a cheesy quickly made game... but the more you get into it, the better it is... Historical campaign is great, as it follows the movies well.

Overall, I'd give this game an 8/10. I think, that after a while, it just won't have the legs to maintain long playing... It's really a great game, and a must for SW fans and Socom style game fans...

And just so you know, you can't use Jedi's... that would have been the icing...

Highly recommended!

So based off of your mini-review this is more of a rental rather than a purchase? Especially if I'm mainly interested in the historical campaigns and not too interested in playing on line.

Re: Who's picking up SW Battlefront?

I agree 100%

I was surprised how addicting the single player levels are. You really need to start out with this campaign before jumping on LIVE.

I didn't have a good experiance with LIVE yet. All games I joined were laggy! It was awful!

Otherwise a must purchase.

FYI- Tiger Woods 2005 is good as well

Squint..

Yes rent before you buy. It's not worth spending 50 bucks on a single player game that you can beat in 12 hrs

Exactly! If you're not interested in online multiplayer, this is a definite rental. If you are... then you know what to do!

It does have system link also so if some of you have the tv's, ahving a friend over and playing is also fun.
