Oh I very much like the look of the game itself, I was talking about not liking the footage I saw of most of the other smaller playercount game modes. I don't have an Xbox One so I don't have Early Access, so I didn't want to say I didn't like them because I haven't actually played them yet, I just didn't like what I was seeing in video
. Walker Assault would have been a blast in the beta if it hadn't been so unbalanced, but it seems like by most reports it's much better in the final release since you can bring in the higher level Ion stuff that wasn't available in the Beta, and it seems like they may have tweaked the AT-AT walkspeeds. Drop Zone was alright, but probably not something I would play really, I much prefer the larger gametypes (I always play Ground War in CoD etc). The actual gameplay I am totally fine with largely outside of the cards/power ups as random drops which I think are pretty dumb. I don't have a problem at all with the game being "arcadey" or simple like some people do.
I think it's going to be a toss-up for me in how much the Star Wars nerd in me loves it versus how tired/old the smaller map selection in the bigger modes gets for me.

As stated by others, they have definitely mentioned that there are maps from other locations on the planet besides the one for big mode
on Xbox One you can buy the ultimate edition from Colombia for £47/$71 that to me makes the PS4 done, as their price is full RRP, and probably beats the PC
it is dead easy to buy from Colombia and we are all almost in agreement the Season Pass is almost essentially
You'll need a form of payment which allows international payments without being rejected.
A good website to find out where the cheapest region to purchase from is http://www.digitalgamesprices.com/xboxone.php
For the benefit of this example, I'll be buying Star Wars Battlefront ultimate edition from Columbia (which is £44.70 in Columbia & £104.99 in the UK Store).
I'm buying this AFTER I've bought EA Access, as this gives you an additional 10% off the Star Wars game.
Note, EA Access is also cheaper on the foreign marketplace, it's currently around £13.56 on the Hungarian marketplace. This will also give you a 10 hour trial of the full game, a week before release (I.e now).
Right, navigate over to Xbox.com & find the game you want to purchase. It should give you this price in UK pounds as you're on the uk store.
In the bottom left hand corner of the screen, will be some text saying "United Kingdom" - this is a link, click it and it will take you to a list of other Xbox marketplaces.
You want to find the one saying Columbia, click this and it will switch stores and give you a price in Columbian Peso's (which will be $229900).
If you head over to XE.com, you can convert this to check the price.
OK, the fun part......
Click to purchase the game & it will take you to the payment screen. I just used google to convert the text to English, but if on chrome etc you can do this as a whole web page.
Enter your new card details, plus a Columbian address.
I used my normal address details, but changed the town to Bogota, postcode to 11011 & a random Columbian phone number.
Note, some people have to connect to a Columbian VPN at this stage, it depends on your ISP (some have had success without it).
I personally used one, connected using the VPN Unlimited app to Los Santos, Panama.
Your game should then be purchased (at this point you can click the Columbia link in the bottom left corner of the screen & change back to the UK store if you wish).
Your game will appear in your download queue (or pending downloads) on your Xbox One.
You can use this method to purchase any game from most regions, wherever is cheaper. It's NOT against the MS terms & conditions (as you are purchasing it, albeit at a greatly reduced price), plus all digital content is region free.

Pretty sure that the small Rebel Base (Hoth) is basically a cut out of a section of Outpost Beta, right?
And then you have the Ice Caves, which is completely unique.
I'm pretty sure that's how most of the maps go. Imperial Station on Endor is a small section of the big Forest Moon map, but Swamp Crash Site is unique.
List of maps from another gaffer:

From what i remember that Hoth Base wasnt the same base you would see in Walker Assault. And yeah Ice cave. And man that map looks beautiful too.

So my barriers to purchase are:
-Stability: Battlefield 4 taught us an important lesson--its server issues were still pretty rampant 3-4 months after release
-Content: Destiny and Evolve, among others, burned me in terms of playable content
The game has been remarkably stable during my 10 hours--I literally don't think I had a single crash. Game froze up ONCE but I think that was more of a New Dashboard issue.
And there's always that "if all of my friends are playing it" factor, too.

The game runs fine. No issues.
Destiny.. you know that Story behind it... and Evolve.. was its own fault to only concentrate on 4v1...
Wait, Zelda was a man all this time?!
I guess you meant Link
No I know it's Link lol I was being sarcastic.
When they revealed Linkle @ the Nintendo Direct there were people saying Zelda is finally a girl even though they meant Link lol.
I get the impression one of, if not their biggest mandates was to make sure the game runs solid and they don't have the crazy problems Battlefield 4 had at launch. I would imagine this being an enormous release with the Star Wars name on it in the run-up to Episode VII and their first game with the SW license from Disney probably had a lot of pressure put on them to avoid technical problems. Say what you will about anything else regarding the game, it runs goddamn well.

Turn the VPN off. Exit the origin client completely. Turn VPN back on after a few seconds. Open Origin.

This is a rare opportunity to play a game and make my own opinions before reviews hit. In that respect I'm very curious to see how this game reviews.

If I purchase EA Access this month can I try the game for 10 hours after it is fully released? I still want to try a taste but I wasn't sure if the trial was only meant before it's released tomorrow

Yes... I was playing Madden yesterday using the few hours I had left with my EA access trial.
You may or may not have to download that trial prerelease though I'm not sure about that.
Yea i tried this and unfortunately it just keeps saying it's locked until 11/16. Gonna try something else.

I have the trial on xbox one. If I buy the game, will I have to download anything else, or is it just kind of like an unlock key I am buying now?
Anton Sugar

Unless they are treating this game differently than all their others, yes. You could use your 10 hours today or months from now.

Just an unlock, the trial is the full game download.
A happy accident landed me a PS4 copy of the game on Friday. Checked in periodically, but the servers seemed pretty empty. Not surprising since the game isn't out, but I keep seeing all kinds of new impressions/videos popping up. Is this a problem on my end?
In any case, fortunately I had Fallout to keep my rage at bay (November is always such a gaming time-sink, but this year feels especially treacherous).

I really enjoyed the smaller modes, they are fast and exciting fun, if you play the objectives you will win more often than not. I am more excited about the small maps than the big ones to be honest!
I can understand others hesitation on the amount of maps too but in the beta I played about 20 hours of sullust drop zone, so if a map is enjoyable that's all I need.
I think as long as you arent expecting a deep experience with RPG elements to your levelling up you will enjoy the game, feature wise it's like a game from 2002 with amazing visuals and that was my favourite time in gaming so i'm not complaining.
A potentially larger player base on PS4 may mean more modes stay populated longer.

More players on PS4 and a significantly higher res. Why wouldn't you get it on PS4?

I am both excited and not for this game. I played the BETA a ton. The lack of customization is really killing it for me. I would prefer for this to be like battlefield where I can play and unlock and keep going. At the same time the idea of a Star Wars game that I can pop in and just play in that space for 30 mins and then play something else is intriguing too.
who knows.. I still can't wait for tomorrow.

Nah just the first time to unlock it on Origin then you can turn it off an use it like normal!
I know one friend of mine getting it for PS4, whereas I know three friends getting it for Xbox One (because they don't have a PS4).
I'm leaning towards delivering some bad news to my Xbox One comrades.

Is Supremacy essentially the War mode from CoD: World at War? I loved that mode.

Been playing for a while, full games on Walker Assault at least. Did you turn off your VPN after getting in the game?
Yup. Same here (PS4).
Yup. No issues with the beta, nor any other online game.
Edit. Never mind. Confused VPN for NAT.

Cannot find any game on pc except TDM which isn't really that exciting.
The graphics are really good and no problem running this on GTX 980ti @1440P. G-Sync doing its work, just fluid all around but the amount of pop in is really distracting.

Each to their own but I think that would be a lot better in matte black, but the console itself is a thing of beauty
