IIRC :

You unlock a Contract from Jabba with credits
You get three "missions/goals" to do
Once you finish them you unlock the weapon/star card

In addition to the weapons and Star cards in the DLC? Is this the free star cards and weapons they talked about a while ago?

Cool, that's what I figured they would be. Thanks!

Yes, I saw two new weapons that are not Outer Rim-bound.

 

[lawnchair]

I really wish that they'd add real Conquest or real Domination

agreed. until they do that any modes being added are superfluous to me.

 

[DeepEnigma]

What are these playlists I've been reading about?

I dunno, someone said they mentioned they were adding playlists.

 

[5taquitos]

Yes, I saw two new weapons that are not Outer Rim-bound.

I think the Disruptor Rifle Star Card is a Jabba Contract as well.

 

[Woorloog]

Mission-based unlocks? For fucks sake, that's exactly what i feared and what i hate.
If you must have unlock system, keep it as fucking simple as possible, ie merely "buy stuff".

 

[Ozorov]

I think the Disruptor Rifle Star Card is a Jabba Contract as well.

Yeah probably. I also think you need to finish two mission to get the upgraded star cards.

It's ripped straight from Battlefield, for better or worse.

The other threads gone to shit

RETREAT

 

[Ozorov]

I really like that HvV will be 8vs8 instead of 6vs6, atleast in Outer Rim.

 

[Ozorov]

 

[DeepEnigma]

Ooooh, very interesting.

 

[5taquitos]

So the Rancor is dead but Jabba's Sail Barge is fine?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I'm heading out boys.

Someone please do a summary of what I missed from here on out.


Good luck on gaming side! lol

 

[DrGonzo615]

Ugh god, I have to use the cycler rifle again?

 

[Toa TAK]

Ugh god, I have to use the cycler rifle again?

At least you don't need headshots.

Battlefield has 100's of weapons though, so missing out on the slightly different assault rifle because you didn't get six sniper kills while wearing a dress and a fez hat isnt that big a deal.

Yes bitchessss!

As a flipside to the same coin, the Hutt Contracts look to only have a few pieces of gear available at the start, so you won't have to do many missions to access all they have to offer.

Edit: And the goals shown in the screenshot earlier up are pretty easy.

Few more tidbits, some already posted

Extraction - if you get the hero pickup, the hero is chosen for you. More than one hero can be present on each team, a new team-specific hero pickup appears as time passes and phases of the game progress.
Quick Match options - can matchmake into multiple modes​
Auto Balancing - auto balances teams at map switch

Nien's turett upgrades to explosive shot

HvV
Only 2 Honor Guards/Shock Troopers will spawn per round

So happy, this is seriously one of the most important things right now.

This all sounds legit, can't wait to take Engineer Nunb into battle and plant some trolly turrets.

Bacta bomb? Throwable healing grenade?

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Cooldown for rolling?

Uhm yes? Rolling around like an idiot isnt something i call a Star Wars experience.

This is DICE baby and should stay that way.


But is it true that all new maps are only made for the small modes?? That would be very disappointing.

 

[5taquitos]

Awesome, there's a fair amount of stuff there. We'll finally have a medic ability too (Bacta Bomb).

 

[Toa TAK]

Uhm yes? Rolling around like an idiot isnt something i call a Star Wars experience.

I guess you weren't around for the original BF games, then.

Yes, this is a close quarters-DLC as they called it.

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

I immediately had to think of Plants vs Zombies.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

I guess you weren't around for the original BF games, then.

Yes i was. But i dont see that as a good addition. Its annoying and not fun.

 

[5taquitos]

Has there been any word if Extraction Mode will be added to existing maps?

 

[Toa TAK]

Yes i was. But i dont see that as a good addition. Its annoying and not fun.

 

[Ozorov]

Don't think so

 

[Woorloog]

How big the Extraction mode is?

 

[Ozorov]

How big the Extraction mode is?

8v8

 

[5taquitos]

8v8

 

[Anton Sugar]

Ugh, so Hutt Contracts are just Assignments?

 

[Toa TAK]

Yes.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Hm not sure. Im more excited about the Patch and Free Stuff. Wont play the new maps much at all...

 

[PrankT]

Auto balancing is sure to make people mad. Imagine A-wing lamers getting to play twice as rebels because they were the "best" player and get switched to the team they just obliterated and use A-wing entire match again. Or perhaps you just got stomped as Imperial in Fighter Squadron or Walker Assault and then getting switched to play as Imperial yet again. I wonder if it will balance based on score or rank. It will be interesting to say the least.

 

[DeepEnigma]

You will play them... you will play every single one of them and like it. ;P

 

[5taquitos]

Is the Relby a blaster or projectile weapon? It's hard for me to tell and I don't have sound.
