In Star Wars: Battlefront 2 a temporary game mode called Jetpack Cargo has recently been integrated. Armed with jetpacks and rocket launchers, the action is intense. Our author Guddy finds this mode engaging, even if the matches can sometimes drag on.
In Jetpack Cargo, a team of eight fighters gathers points by retrieving cargo and bringing it to the destination. The Capture the Flag mode has a twist: Each fighter is equipped with a jetpack and a rocket launcher, making the game much faster-paced and providing a different perspective on the gameplay.
Is Jetpack Cargo Worth It?
And yes, the mode delivers on its promise. The fact that everyone has access to a jetpack noticeably enhances the dynamics, along with the short cooldown time of the two jetpack boosts. Everything around you shoots, flies, and zips through the air, making it truly enjoyable.
With jetpacks, you naturally play faster, need to react more flexibly to the environment and opponents, and thus break free from the typical gameplay style to some extent.
However fast the mode may be: It can take a while.
A match lasted 50 minutes for me, with some even claiming it went on for an hour and a half in Jetpack Cargo! Here, a “sudden death” after a certain period would be a good choice, as otherwise, it drags on quite a bit.
Nevertheless, I currently have a lot of fun with Jetpack Cargo.
The Mode is Well Received
Threads like this one on Reddit show that the mode is well-received. Similar to the recently limited-time “Test Your Metal” event in For Honor, many players are also craving more here. They want the mode not just temporarily, but ideally as a regular mode permanently.
However, it is a shame, besides the fact that it is temporary, that the map selection is very limited. It is only played on the map Mos Eisley, which diminishes the actual replay value somewhat.
Nevertheless, the enthusiasm of the players shows that there is still more to Battlefront 2 than debates over loot boxes,fun mods and licensing rumors. What do you think? Have you played it yet? What do you think of the mode?
