Final area on Twilight is pretty funny if you get a Tie Interceptor, Tie vs Snowspeeder isn't very fair. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. lol
The Cycler Rifle continues to be my favorite Star Card. This guy got the jump on me and almost kills me, but I hurry up and put down a shield. I had 4 hp, he starts to charge me and boom one shot with the Cycler Rifle. He types: "Fuck you" in the chat.
It's just so satisfying.

Agreed about the cycler, I love shooting heroes across the map who think they are safe with low health, only to be killed unexpectedly, lol.
And I had quite of few last minute effort 'oh shit' close range moments with low health. So much so, that it almost becomes second nature and saved me more than once, lol.
That card is not easy to master, but once you get used to it, I just can't see using anything else, lol. It becomes second nature.
I may experiment with the new slug thrower closer range one, and the cycler combo on certain maps. Can't use cycler when in a pinch, no problem, lol.

Before now I did not know you could survive a force choke from Vader. As I hung there helpless dangling my feet, my team killed him and I was released.
This is especially good to know because going forward if I die from a force choke, I can blame my team for not killing him in time

LOL, I blame them for so much in this game. "You are standing right there!!! How the fuck are you not shooting the two guys I am battling with, as they pump me full of blaster bolts??? You are fucking RIGHT THERE!!!"

He fought valiantly...

Thanks!
Haha me too, this is just another to add to the list. My most team-blame scenario is when a scout trait rando appears out of nowhere, and even though there's a group of us that take him out almost immediately, I'm the one he manages to kill a split second before his death.
What the f#ck team, did you WAIT for him to kill me or what
Be imperials on Survivors on endor and you should win

Welcome brother
The PC version of this game is still a wasteland:
All that stuff is more than enough to keep me from coming back. Do the developers actually *play* the game they made? Like, hop on a server and play a few rounds? I have a strong suspicion that they don't.
- More than 1/2 the modes are un-populated, and therefore unplayable. Even BF1942 had bot support, seriously DICE....
- team balance is still a huge joke. Is it THAT HARD to team scramble between rounds?
- Pretty sure cheating is a problem, given some of the things I've seen recently

I dont see any fun in killing predictable bots... where the fun at all?
Maybe this developers dont have the time to play the game all the time because there are hard at work creating new things? I mean Dennis already told that to someone on twitter that he works 70 hours or so a week...
I mean i can understand that they dont play it that much at all in their free time.
I mean why not just get the game on consoles? Thats where people really care about the game IMO.
oh fuuuuhuuuuck yeahhhh i cant wait.

Oh come on, bots can be just as predictable as the people who play these games. It's better than the alternative of not being able to play at all and can be fun to have a power trip every now and then. At least the game does have an AI mode, just wish it was added for big modes.

Agreed. They did mention in the past they were going to try and work in bots for offline/private matches. So there is still hope.
I'm sorry, but I don't see how they can do walker assault or supremacy on Bespin.
So we probably have to wait for the 3rd DLC for a new planet with big maps.
I'm sure I'll have fun in the new mode and new maps for smaller modes, but I was hoping for more maps for the big modes with each DLC (at least 1 each).
Edit: This is why I don't understand their refusal to add a Conquest mode to this game (even the original Battlefront games had it), it would be a big mode and a lot easier to make maps for than WA or Supremacy.

I didn't say that they're going to do those modes on Bespin.
Like I said in my post some time later:
And it's coming straight out of the lead developers mouth, I'm not making it up.

Heads up, the BFC is hosting a Cargo Tournament on the PS4. Sign ups end Saturday and Triangle Cards (charge cards) are banned by default along with all DLC weapons and cards.

They are adding new features to private matches also; like spectating. So that might be a thing for the tournament perhaps? For us that just wanna watch.
Each streamer played for 2 hours straight, so I don't think there are any condensed streams. You could just jump around the JackFrags footage to see different things.

Yay hype!!Awww yeah!
Hope we can have a helmetless Greedo! ;P
Booooo!! The crowd boos Toa TAk
How about a spoiler-free off-screen Rogue One teaser instead? Your defenses can't repel hype of this magnitude!

Narrator's voice could be considered minor spoiler-y I suppose.

I believe there is a free cam mode for spectator, right? If so I can see us at the BFC doing what amounts to live sports commentating for matches.
They played some with the pistols. I'm sure someone did it but i dont remember who

I know Jackfrags did and it looked weird.

Do we know if we're getting any new empire skins? I love that we're getting Hondo's race (which I believe was invented for The Clone Wars? which makes it a cool addition in my opinion). We could really use some Imperial agents though, use all the same faces currently available with an outfit similar to Veers.

DICE stated, we are getting new Imperial skins later.

not in this DLC, but they are coming.
Indeed, it does. Edited a link to the timestamp in my post for anyone interested as well.

As long as it still doesn't provide any bonuses when ADSing I don't care.
