Battlefront 2 releases promised Clone Trooper Skins and they look 'different' than promised

[Kalentan]

So, Battlefront 2 released some well anticipated skins for the Clone Troopers and the community quickly found something well odd.

The right is what was promised, but the left is how they ultimately did the design in game...

It's even worse cause modders on PC already did a better job:

Another case:

So uh... Yeah. Apparently following the designs of the movie wasn't in the budget. Naturally after waiting almost a year, people aren't exactly happy.

 

[Raijinto]

Oh wow it looks awful lol. The modded one is much better.

 

[IamAToast]

Like they want all the hate from the star wars community. :D

 

[Lost]

That looks atrocious. Did they have an intern design that one?

 

[Sargerus]

Can't say i'm surprised at all. Game is being run by a skeleton crew for a while now.

 

[SCB360]

wait....how...

How did they not at least look at the in film designs? Did they just make it up? Didn't even get the right shades of color either

 

[Bane]

Yo, that dude has no shoulders.

 

[Plasma]

Both of those skins have been hidden in the game files since launch as well and they're only getting around to releasing them now.

The way EA/DICE have handled BF2 post release is pathetic.

 

[Pasha]

That dude has a hell of a neck.

 

[II JumPeR I]

You forgot to mention that this skins (and more upcoming ones) are already in the gamefiles since last year lol

That's literal trash.

Not to mention when it was being run by a full team, they spent more time coming up with ways to fuck our wallets than they did making great content..

 

[Deleted member 16876]

EA is really trying to sabotage themselves it seems like.

 

[Khrol]

Yeesh. Rough year for DICE.

 

[Vylder]

That's probably how I would look in a clone trooper outfit.. :(

 

[Deleted member 249]

Between this and how Battlefield V is being handled, it's like EA wants to sabotage itself.

Yes its true.

That's terrible, but as long as they don't screw up Anakin, Obi-wan, Grievous and Dooku then I'm all good. I only play HvV.

 

[Deleted member 1759]

They're deliberately trying to sabotage Battlefront 2, aren't they?

BF2 is a lost cause. It was sabotaged from day one and there's nothing left to salvage. I say this as someone who still plays the game.

Like did they think people wouldn't notice or something? Man, it seemed like things were starting to look up for BF2 and then this happens.

Clone Troopers are my favorite so this hurts even more. :(

 

[New Fang]

Feels good to know I haven't given EA a single dollar from my pocket for their work on these two Star Wars games.

[elektrixx]

It's all an illusion, guys. They changed the light source and removed some puddles.

They can still use ALL the content in Battlefront 3 and add a ton more stuff.

 

[Deleted member 19996]

Really disheartening to see how EA has absolutely killed the series, from the botched loot boxes, to the now skeleton crew working on the game. All of the clone variations have been in the files since launch, in an incomplete status (various things wrong with them), and now, they release only 2 of them without fixing what was wrong with them. How did this get approved by Disney, who is VERY adamant that everything needs to be canon.

What?

The left one is the modder and the right one is from EA. There is no doubt that the left one is not only correct to the canon source but also just you know, is a better design.

So why are you stil playing it if you feel like they throw rocks on your way?

 

[Duxxy3]

Wow does that look like shit.

 

[Argus]

Sure am glad only one publisher has the IP rights to Star Wars so they can really dedicate themselves to it.

I really hope this catches on

 

[TheXbox]

I'm speculating, but if the designs are goofed up I'd blame LF before EA. LF is intensely possessive of their characters and they're (allegedly) to blame for the absence of alternate costumes in the launch game. All character designs must pass through LF.

 

[Zippo]

I know people at EA and even they aren't happy about Battlefront.

Sad, guess they are rushing it along since it's kinda a dead game.

Yeah, the lack of competition is going to hurt the brand.

 

[Deleted member 6949]

Star Wars games used to be good.

 

[Little Old Man]

Another game update, another disappointment.

 

[Evolution of Metal]

 

[Deleted member 135]

The 2015 game was a more complete game and it only had the Original Trilogy.

 

[Deleted member 17207]

I sincerely hope the way they've treated this game and its fanbase affects sales of BFV. There needs to be consequences of trying to screw gamers over so hard.

Not to mention they're describing the "live service" for BFV the same way they did for Battlefront 2 before it launched, saying they wouldn't abandon it, it would let them focus on giving constant updates and content, etc. What a joke. The game has like 5 people left working on it and even they can't do a great job, probably because they'd rather be working on Battlefield and don't really give a shit.

I need my lightsaber fix ok :(

I don't even enjoy the game, but there's not much in the way of alternatives when it comes to modern Star Wars games today.

At this point, they should have just got permission from modders to use their skins. Those required effort, these are just recolors. If those are "Lucasfilm approved", there is no longer an excuse to deny Pink Vader as canon material.
