I did just this, got the deluxe PC edition for 44.99. GMG will refund me 49.99 in 2 days so WOO. About to go preload now.

Can we use a VPN to play early? If so what time (sorry if this has been asked a million times)

Someone told me 3pm today, in like 30min through Singapore (VPN) and gave me this link. Can anyone confirm?

 

[ballerusk]

Rogue Squadron Trilogy remake anyone?

ME, I even made a thread about it recently.

I can confirm that the game will be playable in 23 minutes through a Singapore/South Korea VPN.

 

[CaptainSmirnov]

Trying to get it via Mexican vpn but it seeems it can't process my purchase :/

 

[Risgroo]

I'd also like some of the battles from the prequels. The fight above Courasant, the Battle of Naboo. Could even have the fight between the Clones and Droids from Attack of the Clones.

Oh yeah, the prequels have some nice battles, but IIRC they're focusing on the original trilogy with this game. We might get some prequel DLC, but I think we'll have to wait until the next Battlefront.

16 maps as future DLC, yet only 4 maps in the base game. I'm done with this type of shit.

You need to check out the other modes.

No there are 4 planets with 12 maps (3 per planet) in the base game not 4 maps

Its 4 Maps for the Big Modes. Another one will be added with Jakku.

But overall the game has 12 maps across 9 modes or so

 

[Alienous]

I imagine the DLC would be new trilogy based.

Six new characters would work for the three heroes (Daisy, Boyega and the flying guy) and three villains (Ren, Phasma and... uh).

Then again Rogue One is supposed to take place between the first two trilogies, so...

 

[Nemic77]

What's the deal with the EU release date? I have game preordered on PSN and the countdown timer is pointing to friday.

Thought the release date was thrusday? Or are there different release dates depending on the country?

Base game is 12 maps + 2 free in December

Some people are insistent on breaking it down in confusing ways that make it sounds smaller instead of just comparing the numbers like for like

But really, it's 14 for buying the base game, 16 to be added

Thanks for the clarification. This DLC is getting out of hand.

Europe at large is 19th (or 23:00 18th), UK might be 20th.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Not the best example of DLC getting out of hand imo.

 

[shoryukens]

When should I be expecting the reviews to go up? Tomorrow?

 

[Cyber Caesar]

12 maps in the base game and 16 maps in an expansion it still pretty shitty.

 

[Pastry]

DICE DLC is very well handled in comparison to other games.

 

[jeemer]

it's 16 maps over 4 expansions really.

I put a thread up about the GMG Battlefront fiasco here.

[Theorry]

How do those middle star cards work? I have a scan pulse. You start with 25 and of those are gone you can rebuy them. But there is also a upgrade version? How does that one work for example?

 

[Khasim]

Six new characters would work for the three heroes (Daisy, Boyega and the flying guy) and three villains (Ren, Phasma and Darth Jar Jar)

FTFY

On a more serious note, if I buy it from Origin today and set up a VPN to Singapore, will I be able to preload and play it today on PC? Does anybody know a nice free VPN with some instructions? I've never done it before but for this game I'm willing to. I'm in Eastern Europe, if that matters.

 

[Lancelot]

4 maps for the main mode is a f. joke.

My timer ends on the 19th at 00:00.

I paid over $120.00 for Dragon Age Inquisition and loved it. But I'm sorry I'll pass on this piecemeal Star Wars offering.

Great ignoring that you actually get 14 maps for buying the game, but are you saying you paid $60 on top of Inquisition and we're happy with that DLC pricing (also by EA)?

What does this even mean?

I paid less than that for the ultimate version of battlefront, but ok. Don't buy it.

I'm done trying to defend or debate points on this game, just looking forward to the release at this point!

I feel like a tool already. Don't rub it in.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Gonna unlock in an hour in HK

Legoooooooo

 

[Cyber Caesar]

I'm not sure. EA is getting all my monies?

 

[SomedayTheFire]

So. You had no real initial point, just to complain? Each "expansion" has 4 maps, numerous weapons and cards and a hero. There's 4 "expansions". How is that "getting out of hand" considering Dragon Age: Inquisition had what 3 add on packs with actual missions and 3 add on packs of just items and a store.

dude - can you play the single player modes only or are you in an actual server with other people?

I'm online with other players. I just used the VPN to gain access, after I launched the game I turned it off, no problems.

 

[Theorry]

Boba Fett OP. Really, he is the must fun Hero to play with imo.

 

[Violence Jack]

Just confirmed by Gamefly that it's on the way. Looking forward to the review thread.

Yep, Battlefront has 4 maps and Zelda is finally a girl.
Welcome to 2015.

 

[excaliburps]

According to some posts, yeah people are playing Jakku.

Timing it with the movie makes sense so in that regard I understand. Like you said though, they are giving early access to those who pre-ordered so movie timing loses a bit of ground. I suppose 2 weeks isn't THAT much time prior to the release

You mean in this thread? They were joke posts. Haha! They were saying that simply due to people believing they can play ASAP now on PS4 by changing the system clock.

No one's playing Jakku content yet.

Huh? Im not finding anything about that the Jakku DLC is already available if you change your date.

Yep.

Is the game live already in any part of the world other than EA Access? I have bought it on PC via Mexican Origin so was hoping to play a bit earlier than the 19th.

Some have it due to stores breaking street dates, others are media or YouTubers or friend of a friend, etc. Not missing much. Not a lot of people on PS4, means you can't even get to play Walker Assault. Mostly it's just Blast (TDM).

 

[JigglesBunny]

Classes until 5, then the girlfriend and I need to go furniture shopping. No playing for me until 9, at least.

Have fun everyone, see you out there soon!

Maybe he meant 4 maps for Walker Assault and Supremacy, which would be true.

 

[Impulsor]

Can you get banned for the VPN usage to play early?
