In short, the first Star Wars Battlefront 2 update for the month of March happens to be a rather boring one. Auto Players were a major feature found in recent patches, and, while said feature is mostly well-liked, there were a few shortcomings holding it back from complete perfection. Era-appropriate Appearances weren’t in play on certain maps, which meant new-era clothes were being worn on old-era maps. While not a major flaw, the lack of design specificity meant AI encounters felt less like scripted film scenes than they probably should. Officer models contributed to these issues, as many had identical faces.
For those who don’t play Star Wars Battlefront 2’s AI-centric modes, though, update 1.47 is more or less a wash. It’s good to know Yoda won’t be invincible anymore, but that’s just one tweak amongst the multitude of AI fixes found in this patch. For those bored by its contents, there’s expected to be more Age of Rebellion content added to the game over the next few weeks. We’ll do our best to keep you informed of this future update as soon as more details become available.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
