Anyone else bought the SW Battlefront Season Pass?

I don't buy season passes as a general rule. I've only bought one to date and that was the Elite Dangerous Horizons season pass - and only because it was just £20. But I had a conundrum. Star Wars Battlefront just wasn't that much fun. A few days ago I got XBL Gold again after a couple of months without it and discovered that a recent upgrade to Battlefront had massively tweaked the Starfighter battles so that it was much harder to destroy Tie Fighters and yet on numerous occasions I found my X-Wing blasted from underneath me with just ONE SHOT! WTF? The tweaks to the combat lock system was also a shock to the system.

 

I noticed that a couple more DLCs had been added. So I went to Youtube and took a look at the Death Star DLC. That looked quite fun so I took the plunge and bought the season pass. It has rejuvinated the game for me.

 

The problem I have with the original game and map formats was that it had too many open spaces. Endor is a pain to navigate. They do seem to have made it easier to see enemies. I'm getting a lot more kills now. Still dying as often but at least I have some idea where the enemies are going to be.

 

The DLCs, though, are great. I haven't tried the Outer Rim yet but Bespin and Death Star allow for proper close combat squad fights. You get a sense that everyone in your team is pulling in the same direction, which you don't really get in the original maps.

 

So yeah - expensive but it really works out at £10 per DLC, which isn't too bad. Just wish they didn't force people to buy the season pass to get the Death Star DLC. I'd have been happy with just that.

I bought both the game and its DLC Season Pass and really, really need to get back into the game. Its been almost 5 months since I've played it. The Death Star stuff looks quite amazing.

The Death Star stuff, particularly the space battles, are what makes a real Star Wars game to me. I bought the season pass on PS4. I wish the enemies were a little easier to see, but if you turn on "Color Blind Mode" and mark everything as yellow instead of red, it's a little more playable.
