Yeah, the end of the walker assault Tattooine map is a tease of how an urban Tattooine could play. Mos Eisley (or some other settlement, maybe Achorhead) would be an amazing addition.
It's a warzone on a desert like planet. I think they did a good job for what it is. Making it look like an actual warzone, making it look like a crazy battle has been going on for a while. Still making the map function like it should, having plenty of cover and different lanes to rush, but making it look like all the debris is random and chaotic.
lolwtf is up with that explosion

I just said "hello, may I please have a Jakku code?" and they gave it to me.

So odd that a developer as experienced as DICE wouldn't understand the importance of emphasizing objective play from the very beginning. Emphasize k/d at all and that's what the player base will be concerned with.

Is this a joke post? 'Cause I'm left scratching my head on this one.
It's the redone explosion from the Special Edition, and it's awful.
Edit: Here's the original

I'm not sure, but I played the Falcon just now and it seemed like the health depleted faster than before.
Or it's just that I had the entire opposing team shooting at me

Right, I know that. It just seemed like the other poster had no idea what it was from, in a Star Wars thread, no less. At least that's what I deciphered from the context.
False, it's from one of the video games
This is SE
Oh wow, you're right. I still stand by the fact that the SE explosion sucks and the original is better.

I posted this earlier, but I really think DICE could make the perfect Star Wars [Original Trilogy] game if they included the following things in the expansions:
MAPS:
0). SPACE BATTLES - All DICE has to do is make a space battle in front of the original Death Star from "Star Wars", and then an additional one from "Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi" with Endor and the unfinished Death Star in the background and I would be happy. Throw in the asteroid field from "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" and DICE just pleased everybody.
1). Dagobah
2). The Death Star [with a map for the surface vehicle battles and also maps for the on-foot interior battles - with an added mission mode for flying into the trench and proton torpedoing it]
3). Bespin [Cloud City]
4). Yavin IV
5). Mos Eisley [Tatooine]
VEHICLES:
1). B-Wing
2). Storm IV Twin-Pod Cloud Car
3). Tauntauns for Hoth
4). Darth Vader's Tie-Fighter
5). Dewbacks for Tatooine
HEROES:
1). Yoda
2). Chewbacca
3). Obi-Wan Kenobi
4). Lando Calrissian
5). Biggs Darklighter
6). Wedge Antilles
7). Beru Lars
8). Owen Lars
9). Figrin D’an [leader of The Modal Nodes]
10). General Madine
VILLAINS:
1). IG-88
2). General Veers
3). 4-LOM
4). Bossk
5). Bib Fortuna
6). Death Star Gunners
7). Admiral Piett
8). All of Max Rebo's band members
9). EV-9D9
10). Garindan
11). Grand Moff Tarkin
12). Ponda Baba
13). Tusken Raiders
14). Weequay
15). Zuckuss

There are lots of other game modes? I just play walker assault for shits and giggles
False, it's from one of the video games
This is SE
Could have make the explosion more colorful and the planet bigger :-/
Same, I usually just do a round or two of WA when I'm finished for the evening and want to see shit blow up.

Maybe don't play Walker Assault.....?
Kingsora
Would rather have no penis than have to show his to a medical professional
That's kind of a shitty list when you talk about villains
I'm always starting the day with one game of supremacy, then one game of walker assasult and so on. Working my way through the playlist. So I'm trying to play one mode atleast once a day or so If I have time. Except maybe hero hunt, cause that is not fun at all imo.
Yes it's out. But you have to download it manually from the store.

They reuse a lot of the same assets and some of the same areas, but also have new areas that aren't accessible in smaller modes. Half the small maps are completely unique and don't reuse a lot of the same assets/areas of the large maps, though.
Ice caves is nowhere in the supremacy map.
Goazan Badlands can see the ship crash from turning point way off in the distance. I really like it. Desert canyon with a tunnel and tight canyon corridors.
Not at all. There are many examples, but you won't find the Hoth Ice Caves or the Jawa Refuge on their planets' respective Supremacy maps. There are some that reuse general layouts, but the prop placement is different.

Played a bit of walker assault last night for the first time. I must say I enjoyed it, but there's something about the game that I'm just not grasping.
I get absolutely pumped and I'm not sure what to do to get better. I don't really know the maps but I gather that 40 guys on one map means that knowing the map won't make much difference.
And it feels like I get killed real easy. Any tips?
The game's fucking gorgeous though.

I doubt it, but does anyone have a spare PS4 Jakku code? I was going to buy one from CD Keys but it looks like it's only for the PC.
It's a regular vehicle pickup, normally during stage 3 Walker Assault.

Tried some Turning Point on Jakku. It seems only marginally different than Supremacy. It's another "run a long way to capture point, get cut down en route, respawn and try again" type map.
It seems like it would be an interesting mode if the teams were allowed to talk and coordinate pushes on control points. But since we're not it's just another meat grinder clusterfuck where everybody does whatever they want and maybe you'll win or maybe you'll just eat it for 10 minutes until time expires. If you try to capture a point on your own, chances are that everyone else is so far away that you'll be dead by the time they get there. So you pretty much have to approach the points with 2-3 people running with you.

I cant play jakku. When the map is on the rotation it never finds games. When i put it off it takes 2 minutes to find a game. I guess no one preordered this game in southamerica (x1). This set a bad precedent for the season pass, no one is going to be playing those maps. They should give them for free.
Are there any gaffers from this region finding any games? I want to know if i should change to ps4 version.

I can confirm this works. Took 2 mins top for them to send me the code
Was this for PC?

I was worried about this--a mode like that looks like it would benefit from teamwork and communication.
Played a lot of R6 Siege beta this past weekend and thank god for team voice options. Met some cool people and wouldn't have won a lot of rounds without team voice chat.

PS4 for me. They asked me what platform and what my PSN is. Took about 2 mins. Totally worth it.
Edit: they probably asked for my PSN because they won't give out more than 1 per PSN account.
No Helmet... BAH

How long did it take for you to get set up with someone to talk to? My chat has been sitting here on the "Please wait" screen for quite a bit now.
Put your damn helmet on, it's a war zone not a birthday party.
