The much maligned Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) is getting a new limited time game mode that is wrong in oh so many of the right ways.

Ewok Hunt!

Only thing I'm mad about is I'll have to wait until tomorrow to play it.

That's where I'm at. I was hoping this would go live tonight. I suspect it will be tough to get the first few kills for the Ewoks but once they do it will snowball in their favor.

I really don't care for the negativity. I've played BFII pretty consistently since release and really enjoyed it.

Yes, the release was botched and they're (and us) are paying for it, with everything taking so much longer to come out.

But I enjoy playing the game so making progress isn't a chore for me.

OT - Who knew Ewoks could be terrifying! Loads of Troopers huddled in the woods frantically scanning. Didn't think an Ewok horn would instill fear but here we are! I'm not playing it exclusively as I really like Blast at the moment, but it's a nice addition.

I think the game is a lot of fun. I think it was just an easy target for the long building ire over season passess, and DLC, and charging for skins, and free(not really free)-to-play games. I've been playing since release.

Ewok hunt was pretty fun although it doesn't seem like a more than two or three rounds at a time mode like jetpack cargo was. It can be a bit scary as a stormtrooper. It is neat though in there is a bit more teamwork. I fell into a pretty easy rhythm with guys a couple of times when watching the cave entrance of rotating our lights on and off.

The mode can be a little light on action at times when the troopers huddle in the cave but that lack of action also creates the scary atmosphere.

I found that too. It was nice to actually work as a unit! People are usually so busy running off and not bothering with objectives.

I find it facinating that a LOT more of Stormtroopers curse about Ewok mothers in the game than in the movie.

I like it. I think the player base has dropped off a bit. I still find it entertaining.
