Why Squadrons is WAY BETTER than Star Fighter Assault

I never saw it as battle front version but more like Star Wars Balance of power made anew. If you dont know it, check it out was imo the best game of its kind at that time.

Because no hero ships? Lol

Is it a joke? It is ridiculous to shut down the engines and still have the opportunity to turn fast enough in the open space!! Its not a helicopter simulator!! There is no way to dogfight now. Just pretend how bunch of players will shoot each other just standing still like turrets. And ramming the star destroyers without almost taking any damage is also the stupid feature...

From what I see... this appears to be X-Wing vs Tie Fighter 2020. I'm f'n in!

mAreo

I can't wait to play this game.

I don't want to play as an Empire pilot!

Havent seen any gameplay of 3rd person action. I really hope thats an option??

Star fighter assault in both battlefront 1 and 2 were my favorite, I played those play modes more than any of the others. I am going to love playing squadrons, one draw back I don’t have friend to play with. So I always play solo.

Why is this or Battlefront 2 even a separate game?

Dude...that wind chime bell thing is annoying AF. Just sayin

Its kind of a no-shit that its better. The fighters even fly proper.

I hear a lot but I still don’t see the value in paying for this game

Star fighter assault? Lmao this game is modeled after the Xwing v Tie fighter.

why is it so lit up ? star wars had dark space battles .. are there any in this ? where a cloud or a nebula isnt so bright it illuminates the whole war zone ? where is the darkness and just stars ?

whats the intro song?

Well yeah I’d hope a dedicated starfighter experience is better

Now this is where the fun begins

X Wing vs Tie Fighter sequel almost, that is what this game is to me.

I'm guessing that the reason why Battlefront 2 doesn't have any official vr support is because EA was planning on releasing Star Wars Squadrons.

I want to see in the future a mutant version of Battlefront III which combines the Battlefield franchises infantry and ground vehicle combat with Squadron’s starfighter gameplay and (somehow) a For Honor-esque melee combat system.

That would be my dream game. And with full ground-to-space combat and everything. I would pay so much money for that!

Squadrons is out and did not disappoint

im loving the game VR and hotas , i literally feel in the cockpit seat 5 stars from me

compareing 2 medicore games to each other and the other doesnt focus on space fights? OK lol

It’s definitely not better than BF2 what kinda shit is that?? Lmao

In my opinion if you are looking for a complex space simulater with dogfighting go with elite dangerous you won't be disappointed

Squadrons is WAY better no doubt there, but when I play it feels like some of the graphics in battlefront II feel more realistic to the movies than in squadrons, to me some parts of squadrons just look a bit odd.

Bruh I wish this was out for windows 8.1 but no it’s on fucking windows 10 I can’t afford this shit

So its Tie Fighter/X-wing in the modern engine

It is more X-wing vs TIE Fighter 2 than anything else. Very little outside of the engine it is running on and some reused cosmetic assets seems to have anything to do with Battlefront 2.

Most of the mechanics were taken from the old school X-wing/TIE Fighter games. They play almost identically, with a few new things added on to Squadrons, like bigger ship engines causing damage, boosting, and drifting.

I so much disagree with your statements here!
Squadrons is a small game, don't make it bigger than what it is.

Very equivalent features:
- Ship mobility (in Squadrons you have a better control of power systems - in Starfighter Assault, you have advanced maneuvers that you can trigger on demand)
- Hitboxes, maybe A BIT better in Squadrons
- Ship systems customization
- Number of maps: 6
- Graphics
- AI

Major differences:
- Power management is taken straight from the 90's games (X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighters, etc.), only in Squadrons
- Cosmetics, only in Squadrons
- Better squad communications in Squadrons
- Number of players in multiplayer: 5 vs 5 in Squadrons - 12 vs 12 in Star Fighter Assault (+ 40 bots + objective bots like bombers on bombing runs to intercept)
- Scenario and level design: single short scenario in Squadrons (destroy command ship), and a large number of long scenarios in Starfighter Assault, depending on the map
- Variety of ships: 8 ships in Squadrons, 12 Hero Ships and 16 non-Hero Ships
- Star Wars spirit is way better in Starfighter Assault
- Crashes do kill you in Starfighter Assault - like they do in movies
- VR support, only in Squadrons

Looking at this list, Starfighter Assault is WAY BETTER than Squadrons ;)

Did I miss anything?

(Just noticed this is an "old" video)

I thought motive (or however you spell their name) made battlefront 2's star fighter assault.

no

Why do you say Mario like that wth

For the love of god, tell the devs to give us 3rd person mode and co op campaign mode!!!!!

Well personally i Love the idea of Squadrons but the game is just too boring and slow for me...

Yes the Cockpit graphic is cool..
But everything else looked better in BF2

The flying in Squadrons is way to slow and the Shooting is Way to easy.. it liturally require No skill,
just point n shoot..

In BF2 you had to aim based on distance and speed and the ships flew Much faster and could turn much faster too
so it was harder to kill your enemies...

I dont know what you'r all are on about with this game..
Calling it a Simulator becouse you can choose where to put your ships energy is a Joke too me..
When the rest of the game feels like a Slowmotion Space'walk Sim.

But everyone is allowed to have their own opinion.

Squadrons is a more optimized game with better money spent in it, it is optimized for what it is. Now Battlefront, it is so hard to like the game after play Jedi Fallen Order, I thing Battlefront 2 is decent but Jedi Fallen Order, not worth money.

Squadrons is just so slow and not as dynamic. Granted there are more options and missions but... starfighter assault was just way more fast paced and maneuvering felt more rewarding. I was an ace in starfighter assault but I just can’t wrap my head around squadrons. It’s like they are trying to make overwatch in space.

Did he say mary-o

This game is only better than battlefront 2 because there is no pay 2 win.

Maybe because squadrons was made to be only ships while battlefront 2 was made to be multiple different game modes

I play both games, i prefer Sqaudrons because its much more of a realistic experience and its also on vr.

TBH the turpedos from Battlefront 2 is faster

I know its not graphics > gameplay, but Jesus the graphics of battlefront are amazing, and would really just love a third person option.

so which one is better cause idk what to buy battlefront 2 or sqadrens?

only a complete wanker would think star wars squadrons is better then starfighter assault

SWBF2: Starfighter Assault >>>>SW: Squadron.

I personally love starfighter assault but really dislike squadrons. Squadrons doesn’t feel right. It feels clunky, outdated, and the weapons feel wrong to me. Graphics feel far worse then BF2 and sound quality feels off as well.

I really wanted to like squadrons. I played over 100 hours and can’t get into it.
