This reminds me of that time when Luke was crushed by an AT-AT.

Really wish Jakku was playable already, it sucks you have to leave now after 4 games of WA and hope that you get put in the right map rotation for the other factions on maps.

 

[ecurbj]

It was probably mis-worded on their part, or original promotional wording that changed. The Deluxe code is for the emotes and weapon unlocks, and the pre-order code is for the 1 week early.

Thanks, mate. I'm loving this game. I'm hooked on Blast aka Team Deathmatch. So fluid and smooth.

To bad I got to go to work

They have to change the rotation a bit and add two rounds on every map, so that everyone plays once as the rebels and the imperials. Like BF did with RUSH

 

[Pastry]

It doesn't auto switch the teams form Rebel to Imperial after every full rotation? That's dumb.

Does Walker Assault not automatically put you on the opposite team after every game? I guess I'm too used to Gardens and Graveyards in Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare (fantastic game that has some similarities to Battlefront). Even through there were only a few maps in this mode, every game would alternate you between attackers and defenders, so you play both roles on the same map before moving onto the next.

Is it different in Battlefront?

this has to be one of the best slapstick moments in gaming history.

Anytime! The game is a blast (no pun intended, well sorta)! Can't not wait to get home after work and dive in.

3-4 more hours.

To add real quick, all versions have the Jakku code since it is needed to access the DLC content for free. The BB pre-order one was a week early access.

So if it is resold, and someone wants Jakku buying used, they may have to buy the content if the code was already redeemed.

 

[sjay1994]

Hero Hunt is pure garbage.

Yeah it is...

I dunno what they were thinking making it the person who gets the final shot, instead of who did the most damage.

 

[RdN]

Absolutely, there's no point in doing risking death to damage the hero while he's still got a good amount of health.

 

[Artex]

lol i feel your pain man. I thought my shit was broken last night when this was happening. it will eventually install and you'll be kicking ass shortly.

Weird, I jumped in right at midnight. Pre-loaded though, maybe that's why.

 

[oktarb]

Some very lite initial thoughts after a short gaming stint last night. The "training" missions are garbage and just a pretext so they could add it as a bullet point on their advertising. Short, underwhelming and just no fun. If I had taken that feeling into multiplayer I'd be a sad puppy.

Multiply player was a blast. I only played a couple of Supremacy maps but loved them. The chaos is palpable. Laser flying everywhere, Tie Fighters and X Wings zooming overhead, seeing Darth Vader and his Honor Guard pushing forward, it was all great. Hell at one point about six of us Stormtroopers were trapped behind our spawn doors as the rebels outside mercilessly poured laser fire at us. Is that spawn camping? Sure as hell is but we coordinated after a bit and rushed out and pushed past them. that felt great.

The unlock system seems a little useless and not a carrot I really care about. I mean how many faces do I really need to unlock?

Overall I look forward to playing but without a solid look into their future plans I doubt it will have months and month of interest for me.

 

[nelsonroyale]

This is the best looking game right now. I'm in absolute awe this is running at 60fps

Which version are you playing? Tempted to get this just for the visuals.

 

[Raitosaito]

Played last night and it controlled great. Now if work can be over so I can play!

 

[CarbonFire]

You'll have to really find out how you define value yourself because that's a tricky question.

For me? Yeah, totally. 3 hours in, and over 10 on the beta, yeah I'm going to definitely going to get my moneys worth. I doubt I'll put in 100 hours, but I feel like there's enough content for me to justify the price.

It's just really incredibly fun. The gameplay is on point.

It's definitely not a cut and dry answer given the breadth of modes and ways to play the game. But I would suggest caution to anyone who is price sensitive and has a limited gaming budget, unless they are huge Star Wars AND Multiplayer shooter fans. Get the game at a discount if you can, but if not, go in with both eyes open as to what you're getting for your $60.

And to anyone thinking of waiting until there's a GOTY edition before jumping in....I honestly don't think this game will survive that long after all of the DLC is released, unless DICE completely knocks it out of the park with all of the DLC and adds more free stuff. I fully expect another Titanfall situation here, with maybe a slightly longer tail.

 

[Slayven]

Why does shooting shit in this game feel so satisfying?

Like you actually feel it when the bolts hit your target

 

[bluehat9]

So teams dont get shuffled after a game? Nothing like being destroyed in tdm and knowing you'll have the same odds if you stay in rhat lobby.


Edit: and I like how a lot of the diorama stuff is 'win x times" in a mode abd theres no way to track any of that.

 

[Cake Boss]

I thought I was in the minority when I said it had the best gunplay and shooting in a while.

 

[Boke1879]

It's the sparks and shit that fly off of them everytime you hit them. The presentation in this game is amazing.

 

[BattleMonkey]

New players fill in gaps, but the idea is that the teams flip sides and attempt from different angle/objective

 

[Heavy_D206]

This is one of the first things I noticed.

If you lose a game, don't stick around for another round

On the flip side, if you get a good team then you can really start steamrolling people.

 

[aajohnny]

Do you guys feel that this is better with a controller or keyboard and mouse? I am going to install for PC when I get home but now I'm starting to wish I got on PS4 to enjoy on the couch :/

 

[DeepEnigma]

Agreed. Has a very similar feel to Destiny. That "punchy" feel.

 

[def sim]

It sure doesn't. I'm definitely bouncing out after a game if the other team completely annihilates mine.

There is no aim assist on PC. It won't feel anything like the console version when played with a controller.

 

[HerbertBirdsfoot]

The future is bright my friends! All of those games are going to be incredible I have no doubt. Amy Hennig is a genius. The engine is incredible and they have a lot of talent and money to play with.

Next Bioware Star Wars game will be great too. EA is a good match for the license, I think.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

PS4.

Nope, well after Jakku it does.

It does, but since there is an even map count at the moment you basically play the same faction on the maps.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Amazing. I think these are the type of moments the nature of its sandbox type of gameplay is going to define this game.

People really need to look closer at this gif What's happening isn't what you think is happening.

 

[Pastry]

Agreed

Okay I think I understand what you're saying now.

 

[sjay1994]

Finally get Slave I in fighter squadron... and this

 

[border]

Exactly what are you supposed to do when you get an X-Wing or TIE Fighter in Walker Assault and Supremacy?

It seems like they move way too fast for you to really take out infantry, not to mention that flying close to the ground is a recipe for a quick death.

I kinda feel like I am just biding time until the Walker becomes vulnerable.

 

[RdN]

The Millennium Falcon is so OP. It absolutely crushes the Slave I.

I just got the achiev for killing both legendary ships.

 

[Tobe]

how so, when i drove both of them i thought the slave 1 was the better one

 

[Anton Sugar]

Yeah, Falcon also has a shield you can use to ram other ships and destroy them, unscathed.

There's a huge disconnect between ground combat and the air combat. Not a great design. Same thing used to happen in Battlefield 3.

 

[OverturePT]

Finally got the jetpack, now the game really begins.

Game continues to be tons of fun.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

The pickup system is the reason I'm not buying this

Figure out where enemies spawn and move from and you can actually strafe pretty well, especially in interceptors and x wings.

Also take out AT-STs and enemy fighters.

 

[Darth Karja]

I really love how in Drop Zone the score is all about who has the most kills, instead of who capture's/defends the most pods.

 

[03sho]

Can the online modes be played 2 player split screen?

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

I have died more times in Fighter Squadron by AI suiciding into me than actual humans killing me.

Ridiculous.

As Rebels: take out Tie Fighters, Turrets, AT-STs, and occasionally dive bomb troops if you've already got air superiority. Then of course hammer the Walkers when vulnerable

As Imperials: Take out Rebel aircraft, enemy turrets, dive bomb enemies, and when the bombing run starts, IF you have air superiority, try to take out Y-Wings before they drop the bombs. If you manage to take one out before it can drop its bombs (varying difficulty depending on map), you'll shorten the time the Walkers are vulnerable and essentially "erase" some of the Rebel's progress.

 

[OneUh8]

Finally got some time this afternoon to play some. Had a big smile the whole time. Man did dice nail it.

First you can control the speed with your stick. Anyways, your mission with an X-Wing is more about killing TIE's and the AT-ST rather than foot soldiers. Especially AT-STs goes down quickly with your X-Wing and will help a lot to your soldiers. Also of course the AT-AT when they'are vulnerable, cause ships deals more damage than soldiers. TIE's obviously kills Wing ships.


That is based with my experience with the beta tho, Im an EU peasant so no game till two days.

 

[ryseing]

Still playing the Vader mini game. How long does this game take to install from disk?!

 

[Qwark]

It was probably mis-worded on their part, or original promotional wording that changed. The Deluxe code is for the emotes and weapon unlocks, and the pre-order code is for the 1 week early.

Do you have the Deluxe version? If so, do you think it's worth it for the extra weapons/emotes?


Also, question for anybody, are the servers holding up alright? I don't want to walk into another Battlefield 4 situation.

And question for people with slow installs, is that specific to XB1 or PS4, or are they both extremely slow?

 

[Darth Karja]

So I just joined a game of walker assult with the at-ats down but the game won't end. Rebels have 20 Y-wing strikes ready to use.

 

[cripterion]

Wow, Origin is just godly. Insta-refund on the game, no need to go through bullshit like Steam.

 

[CrovaxPSO]

Shot down a Y-Wing with the ion torpedo before it got its shot off and we won with a sliver of health left on the 2nd walker, felt good.

 

[RedAssedApe]

wasted

On Ps4 here. Since last night 30 minutes after release I have had zero issues. Played about 4 hours went to bed and got up and played another 4.

PS4 took about 10 minutes to install. I'd say about 10-12 Vader waves lol.
