Dice has released a new update for Star Wars: Battlefront 2, and it is considered as a major one. If you remember, they have promised changes regarding the game’s progression system, and nothing else will give an itchy gameplay advantage. This means that Star Cards are not available to buy, except to earn though gaming and nothing else.
Well, there’s a reason why they had to do this. EA tagged the game as a pay to win since the start, for which a couple of turnarounds happened and now we’re all looking at the same page. Crates no longer include Star Cards, and a daily login and challenges can earn them. While it may sound weak, it surely adds more fun to all the hardcore gamers and improves the gameplay.
Furthermore, the game will add some balance tweaks, and the 2.0 surely highlights some of them, further tweaking the previous updates, thus making the game more reliable and fair. What’s important for players who enjoy taking pictures and making whole poetry out of it, there’s an Ansel support for Nvidia Graphics Cards in Arcade.
As always, the update will auto-download on Origin, without you have to worry about it.
