EA and DICE promised changes to the Bowcaster and Homing Shot and they've brought those changes along in this update. Along with numerous others. The February update focuses on those two weapons, Barrage, and the Tusken Cycler Rifle though there are several other important changes (including a decrease in primary weapon damage to air vehicles) that you should be aware of: - Primary Weapons: Damage against air vehicles increased by 10% - Bowcaster: Explosion damage increased from 10 to 15 per projectile and explosion radius decreased from 3 to 2.5m - Bowcaster: Full charge direct hit from 20 to 40 per projectile and a normal direct hit increased from 20 to 30 per projectile - Barrage: Damage increased from 50 to 55 - Barrage: Cooldown reduced from 40 to 35s (normal) and from 35 to 30s (upgraded) - Barrage: First volley of grenades no longer disappear if the user uses the Refresh Power-up and then fires a second volley - Homing Shot: Lock time decreased from 1.5 to 1.2s - Homing Shot: Players in the AT-GAR turret now receive on-screen notification when locked on - ION Torpedo: Speed increased from 350 to 380m/s and turning angle increased from 120 to 125 in order to more easily hit air vehicles - Pulse Rifle: Movement speed while aiming decreased by 30% - Tusken Cycler Rifle: Movement speed while aiming increased by 40% - Tusken Cycler Rifle: Bullet speed increased from 300 to 450m/s - Orbital Strike: Fixed bug where it sometimes would not trigger on button press | |||||||||||||||

Adam, the game is not what the fan base wanted at all. While the amount of stuff many fans wanted probably wasn’t within the realm of EA to accomplish they could have definitely given us ground to space battles, offline multiplayer mode with bots (big ones, not the crap they gave us), player customization, more maps, and a single player campaign. That’s it. Not that difficult. If they didn’t want to include clone wars content, fine. But four large scale multiplayer maps? Really? That’s just bunk. If they don’t get their act together Battlefront is going to die.

Yeah maybe, but doesn’t your disappointment about the game only show that you like a different kind of game? Battlefront has always kind of been what it is so yeah… Maybe you should be playing the 100s of titles that do exactly what you mention.

It’s really irksome that DICE is using us all for play testing, and throwing us these “fixes” like this is stuff that shouldn’t have already been worked out months in advance of releasing the game. What a clusterf***. So you want me to play a certain character for hours and hours just so I can have her wear an outfit that should have been in the original release. facepalm, DICE.

So sick of “gamers” hating this game. This game is fun. Period. And multiplayer is consistently packed, so some of us are getting or money’s worth. Play it or don’t, life goes on.
