I think the Jakku-trailer released two days prior to the release
So nice. I was worried it'd be another green, green and more green, leafy map that I'm kind of sick of by now but I like what they've gone for here.
Can't wait to try it out.

Thanks for this, just seeing the news of the map as I'm heading to work. Going to be a long day waiting to play!

So...what's fastest XP in everyone's opinions? I finally got the last few trophies I needed and the only thing between me and the Platinum trophy is getting to lv. 50
Also...are they adding more trophies with the new DLC this month?

I'm pretty sure they'll add throphies. They will also increase the level cap to 60.
The fastest way for me is drop zone

I only played it twice, but I already can say it's glorious.
Not only the visuals, but it's the most intense large map to date, action wise.
DICE really outdone themselves again.

I watched some vids, it looks so good! Are there small map variants? Hopefully for cargo?
Edit: by the patch notes I posted, it appears only large maps
I think I still prefer Twilight as the it just seems endless and when I'm running around on the top of the map I feel pretty vulnerable.

My goodness. Just when you think this game can't get any more gorgeous. Did you record this on the PC or PS4?
Aww yeah
Nice!
Little Lars is playing on PS4.
And the map is fucking chaotic on Supremacy. Love it

How did he get free mode to go through it without enemies or hud?

;-)
I turn of the HUD and wait until the last uplink fase and wander back. Been doing a lot of recording for some videos this way.

Adrenaline Rush is definitely a health thing. I wonder if it's buff will be enough to make running Personal Shield not so essential anymore?

​What does everyone think in terms of DLC Star Cards - should they be well balanced with vanilla cards or provide higher benefit to usage ratios since you are paying another premium for them?
Awesome! I get so excited over new bits of info!
Aww yeah

I always opt for the damage boost one (forget the name) its really good especially in close corridors of just wrecking fools.
The fight for the middle control point is so intense. Had an entire match where we were just fighting over that one!
Hmm, I have a feeling the cards might be a bit OP at first, but they'll probably be balanced quite quickly if that's the case.
I just wish they'd give us a date lol.
I always thought Adrenaline Stim like a kinda "berserk"-mode star card. Like you move faster etc. Kinda like stim works in Starcraft

If it does give both a health boost and a speed boost I'll definitely take it over the Personal Shield. The Personal Shield is essentially a 200% health boost as it is.

Cheeks Spread for Digital Only Future
We already have the jet pack though, my guess would be health modulation of some kind.

Crafty little devil...
Nice!
This game is just so damned gorgeous. I would love this engine for the single player Star Wars game being made. Hoping it is, since it is EA published.
I'm pretty sure Visceral is using frostbite.

And imagine the bells and whistles of 1080p/30 locked over the more demanding 900p/60?
I need a moment.
I hope they'll get help from DICE's Wizards. Visceral has one game under the belt with the frostbite-engine but they need the wizards man!

All EA studios will be using Frostbite, except except maybe for sports games.

Nice, I was wondering what sorcery you were performing until I saw that one Stormtrooper run by at the end
I might be having a deep moment but how did you put your weapon away?
Edit: did you have an imploder equipped?

I still haven't gotten the update yet. I really wanted to try it out the new map before I go to class.
Is the update just the maps or is there some tweaking/balancing included?

You don't have to download anything. The maps are already in the game.

If you play in first person with the hud turned of and zoom in, you only see the environment. When I want to record something I always use the DL-17, because of its wide field of view.

Oh really??
Awesome, I'm going to try it out now! Gotta love DICE for these content drops, Its making me come back to keep playing. Its my go to multiplayer game since I got it.
Yes

Nice.
People do not like you or Jumper in the Gaming Discussion, lol.
I think they mad because you all are so blunt pointing out their sub conscious trolling, lol. Which is to be expected when it gets old and tiring. Posting Jar Jar and Cantina members should be instant bans for shit-posting, hahaha.
Sweet, thanks for the tip. Then edit in the ShareFactory for the themes, correct?
Yup
. Didn't play any online game at all the previous generation on consoles. I think I played 1.6 till like 2013-14 or something like that.PintSizedSlasher

Yep!
nice to wake up to a new map, i'll have time to play it before school. is it just WA supremacy and turning point?
is that all they patched in though? no other changes?
man .... battlefront and 1.6 are some very different multiplayer games lol

They sure are
. But I like more "casual" shooters on consoles, I have tried CoD and that is not my thing.

I believe it was not a patch either, so this was already in game from the last patch, they just enabled it server side after content was approved. Hence the '?'s' that were there over the map and the one in Survival since the last patch.

Need more DZ maps
i'm a bit bummed that the new map isn't playable in smaller modes, which i play 80% of the time. ah well. it seems cool but i probably wont play on it too often.
it's strange to me that this entire "march update" doesn't really address .. anything, it's just another map. does this mean that positive changes like mixing up the teams after games and fixing the melee will have to wait until april now?
