They nerfed the orbital strikes against the AT-AT's? Put the rebels in even more disadvantage? Wat.

The rebels seem fine now, they changed more than that from the beta.
The orbital, even then, was never okay. There is zero counterplay to a random guy on the map just holding a powerup that damn near one shot a walker.
Rebels have it easy right now most think. If the orbital didn't get nerfed it'd be way worse than it is now. They nerfed the ATATs and now people have access to all the anti vehicle stuff. AT-ATs go down hard.

Oh, ok. Just played a little bit of that so I haven't seen much of the changes.
I will try and "hang back" next time I spawn between two groups of enemies throwing grenades at my spawn.

Drop Zone is quickly becoming my new favorite game mode, shame more people don't play it.

I agree, they need to make a few drastic changes in these modes.

Let my younger brother play when he came over to visit today, went 5k34d on his first match. Didn't get much better. RIP k/d ratio 
But he had a lot of fun!

I'm not very good at the game and almost lead my teams in deaths most times, but Man, I'm loving this game so far. This is like a Star Wars-themed Warhawk for the new generation of consoles.
It's simple fun for the most part, and I really don't worry about dying (unless playing that TDM mode). I just try to stay active and complete objectives.
Love playing Emperor and Vader >
I do worry about a split fan base once dlc hits though.

Loving this damn game. Definitely has problems when it comes to spawn points in supremacy
but holy crap does it nail Star Wars. I'm just having way too much fun.
Oh and DICE fix the stormtrooper outfits on Endor, the rebels have a crazy advantage on that map. While you're at it give us better customisation options for troopers besides the same heads with no helmet. Troopers without helmets are just so wrong.....
(spawn me if front of a whole group of enemies, well done -.-)

Lol, I just got over 30 kills as Boba Fett just shooting at people from far away. He's way too good.

Looking nice to play with some normal dudes with headsets, yo.

Yeah, I agree on Endor. Playing Supremacy it's night time, and rebels are almost impossible to see wheras the Empire is bright white. Ridiculous.

I suppose my honeymoon is over. I hate that the partner system is broken, how people kill with BS cards, breaking the game. I honestly will wait to play it until a friend gets it. I'm sick of it, right now.

Haha that's how i feel when I play blast. I get the highest amount of kills. I guess that's what you get for playing supremacy all the time.
?? Maybe try the other modes ?

Survival on hard, on Sullust, can go right ahead fuck itself. If it had matchmaking I wouldn't mind, but give me a break trying to do it solo. Seriously, why in the hell isn't there matchmaking for survival, what a missed opportunity. For everything I love about this game it sure does do some things really really poorly.
9th round is 2 chicken walkers, 3 tie fighters and at least 10 ground troops and a couple probe droids.

Tried out the two Hero-based modes earlier. Seemed like a lot of fun. Definitely prefer the non-Lightsaber Heroes/Villains though.

• DL-44 blaster – as made famous by Han Solo (instant access)
• Ion Detonator (instant access)
• Ion Torpedo (instant access)
• Ion Shock (exclusive emote)
• Victory (exclusive emote)
That's everything you should have unlocked, it should just be there, already unlocked. The DL-44 is the last weapon you unlock and it's at the bottom of the list. Are you sure you're not just overlooking it? Because all of those items (edit: minus the 2 exclusive items) are there for me, a non deluxe owner, but some are just locked because I haven't leveled up enough yet.

Ewoks running back into their treehouse when you approach.

Would rather have no penis than have to show his to a medical professional
It's actually a pity that they didn't add the maps from the offline (Hero) Battles to the multiplayer. That are 4 great maps and already well designed. It couldn't have been that difficult to make them also playable for the multiplayer?
Ewoks in hang gliders and jawa's cming out then running back into their hovels.
Went back in and its there now. Crazy thanks man

Scan pulse is your friend. Also use the threat map, bar means far pie means medium range, brightness indicates how lon ago enemy movement or shooting was detected.
Probe droid also shoots off scan pulses.

Just played for another 4 hours straight. Why am I still having fun with this game? I haven't even touched Fighter Squadron.
Also <3 personal shield.

3rd day of pretty intense playing, Rank 22 so far, and I'm loving this game so much. It's just so much fun! Still rocking the empire blaster (E-11?), amazing gun - but other guns have their uses too, all in all I'm also loving how picking a different blaster makes me adjust my playstyle.
Tried out 3rd person and while I see the advantages, I still prefer the 1st person view - feels more 'right' and while the increased FOV and peeking around corners are nice, shooting from behind cover and through tiny gaps is much easier in 1st person.
Also, Bodyguard perk is amazing. Anything but a direct hit from a grenade is now survivable.
Also don't mind the map variety yet, with Battle of Jakku it will become quite alright and the games are really varied so far anyways. Please EA, don't botch the DLC!

Because it's fun as fuck.
Sure there aren't a ton of maps, and the game can feel like the wild west with its powerful as fuck star cards and lame mountain climbing/spawn camping tactics, but somehow it all comes together in a cacophony of entertaining shit.

That shotgun pistol or whatever it is reaches on borderline OP. I can only imagine how Han's weapon must feel.

Almost won a WA as Imperials on Endor. That was the first time I've even seen phase three, sad because I think that it is the best phase in terms of gameplay and the map.

Wait until everyone unlocks the Shadow Trooper, lol.
It definitely is. It opens the map up more and the spawns for the Imperials aren't so screwed. Only having 1 Walker and each section having 2 uplinks is still kinda messed up.

I haven't had any issues winning as the Empire on Endor.
But I'm getting the feeling that new players are picking Walker Assault and then playing it like a TDM match. Some games I've played as the Empire, the Rebels aren't even trying to hold on to the uplinks.

E-11 and A280C are good all-around guns. I'm leaning toward the E-11 as being better but only very slightly, and that is only outside of close combat, where A280C's faster rate of fire is advantageous.
RT-97C is very, very popular, and i see people getting kills with it from long ranges. Me, i can't use it at all. But that's no big loss, it is ugly.
Overall the weapon balance is pretty good, though some weapons could use tweaks.
It never ceases to amaze me how reactionary DICE was to Walker Assault from the Beta.
But mostly it disappoints me because I really loved the mode in the Beta but I can't play it now. It takes an Empire team close to twice as skilled to win.
