The preload is up you guys, for PC.

The TTK was legit passing me off..... but then I just refocused immensely more on staying alive either by methodically/slowly moving thru the map or finding spots to control or dig in. It's worked surprisingly well as most are still just spawning/sprinting right towards killzones like CoD
"Battlefield fans on PS4"? What is this. Is there an organization? How the hell did you determine this? From public voice chat in a game you played last night?
Feels 100% Destiny to me.

Very quickly from my experience.

Yeah, I don't like it.
Apparently the dimmer it is, the closer they are.
Also related the scout trait is so so OP.

No way could I get the Jedi difficulty one, I was hopeless on standard difficulty

So it shouldn't get good reviews because it isn't your cup of tea?
Not that I disagree, have played a couple of hours and it feels too slow and clunky. Either the old Battlefronts were way faster or I remember completely wrong. Once the appreciation of the graphics wears off you're just left with a not very fun game with very little content.

Where did you see this? Don't really care about Jakku early tbh, since it's still very close to launch, but preload would have been nice.
Still, thankfully my internet is nice enough to get it done quickly but a I'd expect warning on the GMG page.ElzarTheBam

Yeah, me too
But I think it is right, when they're right next to you, they're represented as a dim dot.

I used my 10 hours over Fri and Sat and now I'm really, really missing the game. The hunger is real
10 hours was nowhere near enough for me. I basically spent my whole time in Walker Assault and Blast and I barely had time for Fighter Squadron, Survival, Supremacy or Hero Hunt which I am all really excited to play. Plus my old favourite from the beta - Drop Zone.
Base game definitely has more than enough content for me and I expect to get another 40 hours out of the game minimum (along with the 22 hours that I've already played thanks to the Beta and EA Access).
That alone makes this my GOTY so far this year.

That's...not intuitive. I'll have to test that out next time I play.

It really is that good imo.

The beta alone was enough to convince me to get the game. I had a blast and played the hell out of it.
This. Seriously, people's expectations of content these days are what kills high quality short games. Arcade type games like Contra, Streets of Rage, or the classic Sonic games just wouldn't be made today because they would be "too short". Those games I listed are an hour long yet I have replayed tons and tons of time because they are so well done.
I haven't played the new battlefront yet, but if the gameplay itself is great and if what is there is high quality, I don't see an issue. I would much rather have a great game with a small amount of maps vs an average game with a ton of maps and unlockables.

Considering how insanely high quality the maps are - looking straight out of the movies opposed to a video game - I find it hard to compare 1 map here as equal value as one map in a similar game.
TheSpoiler

But that mentality isn't really applicable here. Contra, Streets of Rage, and Sonic games are based on single player content. A game that's primarily sold on the purpose of multiplayer has different expectations. And comparing them to today's games is silly. Titles evolve, get bigger. Maybe use, I dunno, Sengoku Basara? Or Sonic Generations?
Both of those games have tons of replay and content that's worthwhile.
It's not like I disagree with you, either. If a game is good enough, it makes a lot of the content on its own. But Battlefront seems weak in the gameplay department from what people are saying and what I've played in the beta. That's just my opinion, but some people are of the same. And some people aren't!

Graphics are all right, 720p is pretty noticeable on a big TV but otherwise it's a good looking game. Performance is flawless as far as I can tell.

Strange. I've watched a lot of max 1080p 60fps YouTube footage and they looked identical to me.
Yeah I think Generations is definitely a good modern example of short but high quality. Streets of Rage and Contra are multiplayer though. I suppose not many old games were multiplayer only though. That being said I absolutely loved Titanfall despite people saying it was lacking. I definitely can't judge Battlefront until I play it though. However, good gameplay will always be the best content to me, so if BF succeeds at this I will be happy.

If I only have one concern is the heroes (darth vader, etc).
To be more specific, how hard will it be to be able to control a hero. Is it random or if you need to be one of the elite players to control them?

Good to know. I was hoping that GMG no preorder bonus rumor was just that, a rumor. Bummer.
Guess I'll bite the bullet and go the Best Buy GCU route then.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up.
They are very very rare though, at least in the beta.
Is there a larger map to view? I was sort of confused playing the mode (forget the name) but its sort of like the classic BF mode. I really didn't know where the cap points really were. Just circles in the air I was blindy running too since the minimap on the hud is totally useless.

According to the app, the last non-cosmetic unlock is at rank 28.

The graphics are incredible but you definitely notice the lower resolution on xb1. Whatever graphic technology they used to produce there service textures is miles ahead if anything else and it's easily the most realistic looking game I've ever played.
I think I might actually pick this up on PC down the road just to see how pretty it looks at 1080p

I've played about 4-5 hours and only hit level 5 so 28 is going to be a long ass time
The disappointing thing about it is the awesome sniper that was in the beta looks to be one of the last things you unlock and you don't get the jet pack till level 15. I really don't like this.

From what others have said, the leveling is pretty fast. Also, I'm mainly glad that there isn't microunlocks like attachments and that bullshit.

Yeah, it's weak, but tons of people seem to be overreacting. Wait a few extra hours to start playing on launch day, and wait an extra week to play Jakku maps free? Fine with me since I saved $14. I wouldn't have even gotten to play it midnight launch day anyway, so $14 to get Jakku a week earlier isn't worth it to me.

Yes. Which is humorous because a PS+ card isn't included in the Battlefront PS4 bundle.
Is there a trial for PS Plus?
Also just now noticed the image in the op is gif, nice touch

Fighter Squadron and getting the Hero ship during it will be the absolute fastest way to level. So if you want to be efficient on getting the non-cosmetic unlocks, that is the way to go.

Is fighter squadron just air combat? For all the shit I've said I actually think the air combat is quite fun in this game.

How can I be decent at every other shooter I've ever played since the original DOOM (for example, most recently in Halo 5 I'm always in the top 3 of a team match), but be absolutely, laughably awful at battlefront? I've probably put in close to 10 hrs at this point and I am consistently getting max 2 kills in an entire match. I'm aiming at guys, shooting at them, they're not dying and I'm dying like 20 times per match. I've never played a battlefield game before, so what am I doing wrong? Why does this feel so different than any other shooter I've ever played?
And I've tried both 3rd person and 1st person and neither helps.

Yup. Constant stuff to shoot and easy AI kills. You get so much XP/Credits it is ridiculous. I would not be surprised if the amount got toned down within days of release.
