The new Battlefront's features make it worse rather than better.
As the battlefront series was progressing the game was slowly becoming better. For this game though, it became worse. The campaign/story mode is nice as it's fully voice acted and has a nice story. And this game is a great technical leap over the others with it's short load times and the ability to load sky, space, and a planet in one level, as well as the interior of a spaceship(which was a big plus for me) also the graphics look great on each frontier, and though they do have hidden load times, it's so short that people shouldn't mind. I also believe the new art direction and point sytem were great additions too. Unfortunatey in this game they took out one of the core elements of battlefront, doing what you want. You still can follow that path, but the captains(or whoever it is that's always yelling orders to you) are always telling you to follow the same linear path each level to the point you wish you could turn their voices off. Also the linear path is the easiest way to win each battle making it what you'll end up doing anyway. This gets annoying as doing THE SAME EXACT STRATEGY EVERY BATTLE makes it feel more restricted than it's open world enviorment should. Also the world is even bigger now, so why should it still be this way. More annoying is that the only way to disable a ships, sheilds is not to board and sabotage it or just shoot it as in past games, but to use a cannon. This could be fun with a fast moving cannon that has to stop incoming smaller ships while shooting the larger ones. But instead you use a slow moving cannon that has to power up, then asks you to hold down the fire button for 5 seconds, let go, wait for it to cool down, then do it two more times. Also one accident means you have to wait for it to cool down as it's overheated. This is ridiculous! how does a gun overheat from underpowering it? The ship's orbital strike sytem uses the same boring tech as well so I wouldn't bother...BUT the AI takes forever to launch the cannon themselves, even though the enemy AI can do it easily. It's still fun to play, but the odd restrictions make it worse than it should be.
