Is the space ship controls different to the beta? Feels really odd with the mouse

Yes. They implemented a sort of virtual joystick, instead of direct control like it was in the beta. I think it's supposed to "even the playing field" between gamepad and mouse users, but all it ends up doing is making the mouse control feel awful and more or less forces everyone to use a gamepad. Maybe there are some settings one can tweak to make it feel less shit, but haven't really poked too deep yet to check.

Add my PSN. I'll be on this game at least a few hours a day and I'll be up for some game in a few hours. Boke18

Cool. Sent you a request. I'm darkleaper on PSN.

 

[Ferrio]

Playing as Sheev and having two lackeys is great. Holed up in a base on endor guarding the point, me and my two dudes held the fort. My favorite char so far.

 

[JTripper]

The mode would be 1000x better without the last hit mechanic.

I feel like most of the modes would be much better if they had at least one good tweak in a certain area.

 

[dan2026]

This game really sounds like a technical marvel on PS4.

 

[k4n3]

only major problem i have is the nade spam they need to get rid of the recharge and just use the battlefield system and you can only hold 1 or 2 also boba needs a bit of a nerf hits jet pack recharges to fast and the auto lockon rocket can blind fire hit people on the other side of the map

 

[03sho]

Other than the horde mode in this game what other modes are split screen?

 

[JigglesBunny]

This game really sounds like a technical marvel on PS4.

PC moreso, I'd argue.
On 8GB RAM, a GTX 980 (not Sli or Ti), and Windows 10, with everything maxed, resolution scale at 115 and output resolution at 1080p, the game locks at 90fps for me.

DICE are kings of the tech-industry, man.

 

[GravyButt]

toss up between cargo and supremacy

Whats cargo? Haven't played that yet!

 

[JTripper]

Heros vs. Villains is a pleasant surprise among the many medicore game types. I'm becoming accustomed to the Emperor.

 

[Blackstarhat]

What is everyone's favorite mode?

Waker assault

 

[Sushigod7]

I'm having a issue with hiccups in games probably 2-3 times every match where it seems to hang up then start again hasn't affected my games much only a few times in squadron how do I pinpoint the issue? I don't see anyone else complaining of lag so it has to be my connection? Otherwise having a great time with it.

Walker Assault is everything I love about Star Wars in 30 minute spouts so, WA.

Open task manager's performance monitor(s) before playing. Check it right after such a spike, this may help with finding the cause.

 

[xxRONN1Nxx]

Anybody else having trouble connecting to matches in MP. Everytime it's on loading screen I get connection error

 

[Insane Dead]

Loving this game so far, Endor is one of the coolest looking maps I've played on.

 

[Drewfonse]

How does Supremacy play? Is it kind of like Conquest?

 

[JTripper]

Walker Assault is goat but Fighter Squadron and Heroes Vs Villains are really fun too.

 

[killertofu]

Any BF deals on this? Don't mind waiting really.

 

[rdytoroll]

How's the connection for you guys on PS 4. Is it laggy? How's the matchmaking?

 

[PrankT]

Just finished playing for a few hours straight. I loved the beta and love the full game even more. So great.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

Whats cargo? Haven't played that yet!

capture the flag

 

[vypek]

Really wish I could play but my copy of the game is arriving late for some reason :/ Should've gone digital

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Anyone else's 2nd Hand not save?

While that is certainly impressive, cranking 900p with good IQ + a pretty solid 60fps out of the PS4 while maintaining this visual fidelity is far more impressive imo. This is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and it runs at 60fps. Crazy.

Really enjoying this btw. Played 3h today, level 11. I want that damn jetpack...

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Ran into my first game mode bug. Walker Assault, both Walkers went down but the game didn't end. Endless mode on the final point.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Any BF deals on this? Don't mind waiting really.

I'm gonna keep an eye out. I'd pick it up in a heartbeat at ~$40.

 

[witness]

Only thing is at best buy the game is full priced but you get a 3 month live or ps plus card for $5 with purchase.

 

[Chance Hale]

Reminder to everyone interested in the pc version that you can get it for 40 dollars via Mexican origin. 45 for the deluxe version.

 

[borghe]

just played like 5 rounds of the star fighter thing.

absolutely love this game.. so gorgeous and controls flawlessly.

only complaint so far is I wish DICE would have given us a campaign.. even like a 6-8 hour campaign in this game would have been amazing.

edit - yeah, fighter squadron.. what an amazing mode. basically what a net code Rogue Leader could have been.

 

[Mister Megative]

I'm absolutely loving this game. I'm wondering why people are complaining about no content....there seems to be plenty to me, at any rate. In fact, I'm a bit baffled at some of the lower reviews, to the point where I'm wondering if Destructoid and Giant Bomb were playing the same game I was. I also feel it was a bit irresponsible to post full reviews of a multiplayer-only game the day of release, which is why I have respect for IGN and Gameinformer right now. Regardless of score, they didn't rush to get a number out, but are instead doing exactly what they should be with a multiplayer focused game. Add me for a partner; PSN is johnnycubsfan. I'm a fighter ace

Any indications of how the game and/or bundles are selling? GameStop was packed today.

I'd have to agree. I spent a ton of time today playing wanting another go each time. Not sure where all of the no content talk is coming from. At least for me, bothering with a shooter campaign is a waste of time. I'd rather be playing multiplayer modes.

 

[JigglesBunny]

With more maps and hero ships added post-launch, Fighter Squardron will be the Rogue Squadron sequel we've all yearned for.

Hell, it's exactly what I wanted already.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Does this game have a "hardcore" mode similar to the Battlefield games?

 

[Anton Sugar]

Does this game have a "hardcore" mode similar to the Battlefield games?

Unfortunately, no.

 

[Philippo]

I just hope that instead on rushing out sequels, they focus on just this one and evolve it through the gen.

 

[Falchion]

So I just learned about how certain Star Cards are limited use and you have to spend more credits to refill them. I guess it makes sense so that they aren't abused and overpowered but man................................. not sure how I feel about it.

I find almost all the star cards useless tbh.

Would happily trade for another card slot.

 

[Hoffelcopter]

I wish they would have kept the same Conquest mode from battlefield.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Jackfrags: 10 things what would improve Battlefront

1) Limit one grenade card per player to reduce grenade spam
2) Option to manually pick a partner from your team if you don't have one currently
3) HUD scaling and move kill feed to upper right corner
4) Fix the "virtual joystick" for PC so flying doesn't suck
5) Spawns need to be improved and need a left/right selectable option
6) More maps--easier to get tired of modes with few maps
7) Add story to the offline modes and add 4 player co-op to these modes
8) Nerf Ion Torpedo's lock-on range so it can't take out AT-STs from across the map
9) Hero Hunt needs selectable heroes and needs to readjust how it credits the winner
10) Separate soldier, vehicle, and turret sensitivities

Pay attention, DICE!

Some Star Cards are stupid OP. Wookie Bowcaster that fires a row of explosive bolts, the triple grenade launcher, etc.

I can't even imagine how that looks cause on PS4 it's fricken sublime

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Got my jump pack and immediately spent the rest of my credits to upgrade it.


I keep posting shit in the review thread when it should be here.

 

[GravyButt]

Aren't all gold star cards limited use? Like ion shot (i think thats the name) I just bought it. Think it says 25 in lower right hand corner. I just assumed I could use it 25x before rebuying. Hopefully at a discount!

 

[Ferrio]

Wait credits to fill? You can't fill it up with pickups in the field say like personal shield card?

 

[Karak]

Technically their review in progress video comes up as a review, its tagged as a review in youtube, has clear statements about quality and was done prior to the actual embargo lifting.
So...IGN sort of rushed. If we believe getting information out about an item someone is asking money for is rushing.

Got my jump pack and immediately spent the rest of my credits to upgrade it.

Its not all black and white.

The jetback easily is the most change heavy item in the game. Put that on and the entire way you play is changed.

 

[Anton Sugar]

You can refill gold Star Cards all over the map, too. Find the little lightning bolt icon.

One thing I noticed during EA Access: when you spawn, look around. Depending on the map, there is often a treasure trove of pick-ups and refills behind/around you. Easy to miss them if you spawn and just rush forward.

 

[Hale_C]

Any kind of Origin GAF sign up thingy going? Couldn't see one in this thread or the SW community thread, possibly being a giant moron.

 

[Pastry]

I can't see my deluxe edition items? Anyone have this problem?

And my Jakku early access code isn't working blwh

 

[Anton Sugar]

IGN: 8.0

 

[LowParry]

I've enjoyed all the modes so it gives a good variety of play. That ice caves map though. Damn that's pretty. Droids on that map is crazy fun. Too bad we didn't get one or two more planets to play around on. Over all pretty fun game but see where the lack of content people are complaining about comes from. The sound though. Good lord. Best sound ever.
