DICE “saddened” by reaction to Star Wars Battlefront 2, vows to “fix” progression

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Associate Design Director, Dennis Brannvall, has vowed to “fix” in-game progression issues.

Taking part in a rather disastrous Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) recently, Brannvall said player reaction to Battlefront 2 is being taken seriously by DICE.

“We were incredibly saddened by the negative response from you, the community on Reddit about the game”, he wrote. “In-fact, we hated it, we truly did, because we want to make a game that you love.

“We’ve made a really cool, fun and beautiful game but it was overshadowed by issues with the progression system. We will fix this.”

DICE didn’t exactly explain how this would be achieved, but some potential fixes were alluded to.

“We’re going to continue adjusting the crate systems, content, and progression mechanics to hit a point that gives players a great, balanced experience at all skill levels”, Executive Producer, John Wasilczyk, wrote as part of the same AMA.

“We’re working on expanding the number of ways that players can progress, putting more control in their hands and providing more options and choice in the way people play. There’s not much in the game that we wouldn’t revisit to improve the game for as many players as possible.”

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is available today on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4. We reviewed it here.
