Got a 56k game just now.

Still haven't broke over 100 kils in a game yet though.

The one I just finished ended with me on 81.

 

[EL CUCO]

Merry Christmas guys!

Looking forward to greet the Xmas noobs with homing rocket.

 

[Thug Waffle]

This Christmas noob invasion couldn't have come BEFORE they nerfed Boba Fett? I'm trying to 100-0!

 

[Tubie]

I just ended a Blast round at 31-1, and I wasn't even using the DL-44. The other side had like 4 people with stats like 1-18 or something similar.

It almost makes me feel bad for new people, but at least double xp should help them unlock the jet pack and the level 15 traits much faster.

I just got this as a gift and it's the first time, ever, that I've been annoyed at receiving a present.

Ah fuck.

Then exchange it for another game and go the the OT of that game.

Ah fuck.

If you really are that annoyed by that, why not break the disc then ?

Spoiler

I am half joking. If you don't like it, give it away.

 

[Alienous]

I don't have a receipt, but I do have a copy of the game, so until such a time as the Christmas festivities are over I am just relaying my experiences as a Star Wars Battlefront owner.

A valuable contribution indeed

It's the thought that counts, bro. Not even joking.

 

[Alienous]

It's the thought that counts, bro. Not even joking.

Of course. Which is why I can't get rid of it, at least for awhile.

A valuable contribution indeed

I wouldn't go that far.

But seriously, you're right. This is probably not the best thread, and I didn't mean anything too negative by me saying that. Just that it's the first time I've ever received a present that I felt burdened by and it happened to be this.

I clocked out of Battlefront 3 hours into the 10 hour Xbox One trial, so I'm not just shitting on it for the sake of it. Anyway I can see it just generating negativity so I'll see myself out. Apologies.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

You played MGSV. You'll be fine

 

[EL CUCO]

Dont worry, they wont even know how to use him properly. I just ran into a Han Solo that give me the Deer in headlights look. Had me enough time to fill him with DL-44 and a rocket for the kill. Almost felt bad doing the shimmy ion shake after the wreckage.

 

[No Love]

Already get #1 or #2 almost every match, can't imagine how much fun Blast and Fighter Squadron will be for the next 2 weeks. Noobs beware 😈

 

[Theecliff]

yeah, i'm not finding any of these matches full of christmas newcomers you guys are talking about. last walker assault i was on the vast majority of the empire side were full of scout and dark trooper skins, dl-44's, and homing shots everywhere - was extremely frustrating to say the least. been on a losing streak for a bit now.

 

[Ozorov]

Am I the only one that is very variated in my rounds in this game?

One game I can go like 40-10 and the next like 15-15. With the same teams

 

[adj_noun]

I just won as the Empire in Fighter Squadron like three times in a row.

X-Wings everywhere and nobody knows where the Hero spawns are.

Cherish these moments as gifts.

I'm definitely finding matches full of newcomers, but mostly on the team I'm in :-(

Same here. I hardly ever go negative, but on a bad day I also struggle to go positive. Luckily almost all modes are objective based, and I care more about playing the objective then my k/d

You sure its the same teams? Pretty sure they re balance after a match.

 

[WJD]

Yeah, so maybe don't group together in small corridors guys...

http://xboxclips.com/Will+J+D/a6f91711-8756-4df5-8d80-dcd9f64bb1eb

No idea how many kills that actually got me, but god damn all I could see were reward indicators for a second.

 

[Ozorov]

Haven't checked in WA or supremacy. But I think they're the same in smaller modes

 

[Malcolm9]

Just finished an official survey I was sent for this game, would be good to get feedback to them asap to make the game better, it's lacking quite a bit at the moment.

Any questions about the dlc?

 

[Ozorov]

And I wonder how many % that knows that they have to download jakku manually...

 

[Malcolm9]

Any questions about the dlc?

Yes, they ask about how you feel about content from the prequels and The Force Awakens, what things you would like added ie maps,modes,weapons etc.

There are quite a few questions, it takes about 10 minutes if you go through it properly.

Hopefully they take notice of it.

What on earth counts as a "long-range rifle kill"? I can't seem to get any.

Cycler rifle or pulse cannon maybe?

[JeffZero]

Does anyone have any hot tips for improving KDR in the large modes? I've gotten good enough now that after a few warm-up rounds I'm regularly scoring pretty decently in things like Cargo and Heroes vs Villains, but when I hop into stuff like Supremacy I'm still all over the place (unless I hop inside an A-Wing or something).

Do not rush into things

 

[Braag]

So far I'm enjoying this a lot more than BF3 or BF4.
Maybe it's the simplicity or the fact that it's Star Wars but it' a lot of fun.

 

[Ozorov]

Dice really need to fix so that Jakku is downloaded automatic and is in the basic map-pool

 

[petethepanda]

The Cycler Rifle and Pusle cannon.

Thanks. This might take a while lol, not high enough for the Cycler yet and I'm crap at chipping away enough health for the Pulse to be a one hit kill.

Finally hit 25. Bought the DL-44, played a Blast round... this thing is absurd. I'm not great at the game and I figured I was just being whiny by saying that I get killed by it a lot, but holy crap. Had to save the recording of the round just because.

 

[B-Dex]

The noob influx is real. Objective modes are a gong show right now.

Tbh I'm doing better with the DL-17

No kidding. Droid Run games are lasting all of 5 minutes.

Now's the time to get that Airspeeder in the diorama.

-Your radar is your best friend
-Don't rush into areas alone
-Use explosive shot or scan pulse extensively
-Use your jetpack as a defensive tool to get out of tight spots / losing gunfights

 

[Red Comet]

So I'm thinking that I sort of want to try this game out now, but I don't know if I should go PC or PS4. On one hand I have a PC that can max this out and I imagine it would look great, but on the other hand I'm worried about the size of the community.

PS4. It's got the largest playerbase, and I don't see the PC community lingering any longer.

 

[MMarston]

Okay, so I admit that I am totally one of the a-hole dissers from the other thread, but I'm actually contemplating getting the game because I haven't played a fun MP game to just mess around in in a long time. I was deciding b/w this and Destiny but I'm not a fan of the latter's grinding-progression system.


That's said, what should I expect from playing? - by that I mean "unofficial player ground rules" rather than gameplay.

You don't need to chip away before using the pulse, just charge it up first and then aim and shoot, insta kill.

 

[DJ Gunner]

Im winning fighter squadron games as Empire today. That's how insane things are.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Christ, the fresh meat is really nooby. Just got 15 kills like Luke in 10 seconds on Tatooine Supremacy because there were about 17 Imperials all bunched together in one canyon.

 

[JeffZero]

Thanks for the tips, as always, y'all.

One of us one of us one of us

This is a very casual, though, there some depth, game oozing SW from every crevice.

A perfect game to either get really invested in or play a few games here and there to satisfy some MP or SW itch. It works well either way.

Do it man.

Just do it. It's fun, nab it quick while its on sale.

 

[JeffZero]

So I finally got around to joining a BattlefrontGAF room. I'm JeffJaqi.

I'm new to online gaming. Like, fresh-as-snow new. How do I get a chat going in these rooms? I'd love to get some strategizing going with y'all.

Same, most games I've been in have a lot of maxed out players on both sides. Been fun though since hardly anyone has been using homing shot or bowcaster in my matches.
