DICE veröffentlicht heute das September-Update für "Star Wars Battlefront 2", das diverse Verbesserungen und ein neues Squad-System enthält. Dazu heisst es: "Das neue Squad-System ermöglicht es dir, deine Freunde, Verbündeten und die Action viel schneller als bisher wieder aufzunehmen. Wenn du bereits mit einer Gruppe von Freunden spielst, wirst du zusammen in die Gruppe eingeteilt. Wenn du alleine an einem Spiel teilnimmst, wirst du in eine zufällige Gruppe eingeteilt."

Es heisst weiter: "Wenn du besiegt wirst, hast du die Möglichkeit, durch eine Zuschauerkamera zu schalten. Diese Kamera wird auf eines deiner Truppmitglieder fokussiert und du hast dann die Möglichkeit, direkt bei dem Mitglied zu spawnen. Möchtest du bei einem anderen Truppenmitglied spawnen? Schalte einfach durch die Zuschauerkamera, bis du das Squad-Mitglied deiner Wahl findest. Das neue Squad-System gibt dir auch die Möglichkeit, 2v2-Private-Matches in Hero Showdown zu spielen." Nachfolgend steht der Changelog zur Ansicht bereit.

91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps

  • The 91st Recon Cops were a regiment of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Lead by commander CC-8826, or Neyo, the 91st were involved in many battles across the Clone Wars.

104th “Wolf Pack” Battalion

  • The Wolfpack was a battalion that active throughout the Clone Wars and known for numerous military operations. On one such encounter, they engaged on a night assault on one of the last remaining outposts of General Grievous. The 104th Battalion can be identified by the iconic Wolf logo that identifies the squad, and the dark blue markings upon their armour.

Ping Site Changes

  • We have added a new default setting to the ping site option. When you have this selected, the game will attempt to match you to any of the ping sites that you have the best ping to. In the real world, this means that if you are located in Europe and have a good ping to both Frankfurt [FRA] and Dublin [DUB], you could be matched to either one, meaning you should find games a lot quicker.
  • These changes will start to arrive alongside the September update and further updates will be made in the months after, as we continue to tweak and improve the matchmaking system.

Matchmaking

  • End of Round (EOR) matchmaking is a feature you will have noticed before. It’s something that has been turned on and tested at intermittent periods over the last few months.
