I actually like it. What's bad about it?

Loving the game and it's super pretty. Like supremacy and droid run the most so far.
I really don't care for Endor though, it's really hard to spot rebels if you're playing as the empire.

Good god Droid Run is terrible.
Thought it'd be their take on Domination or similar modes.
But it's literally just....
Control all 3 droids and you win
or
Control at least 2 droids when time runs out.
The latter of which is infuriating because you could have amazing droid control the entire game and lose at the end because they happened to have 2 when the clock hit 0

I like Droid Run because I've managed to place first in it twice whereas in Walker Assault I'm usually around 11 or 12. Starting to improve there now that I have the rifle power up.
Walker Assault on Endor is fucking incredible but I'm confused about one thing. I was on the imperial side and our walker made it to the end, yet we still lost. Am I missing something here or could the only possible explanation be that the rebel team destroyed our walker at the last second?
Different postI posted the score here because someone was just talking about IGN.
Oh ok! I was confused why you moved it.
Yes, happens to me in vehicles quite often.
The fact that I am playing fighter squadron might have something to do with it then.

Is the Jakku DLC a code or is it already in the game?

I believe that depends if it's digital or physical copy

The 1 week early access is a code, Best Buy e-mailed it to me and I had to redeem it on PSN.
THIS GAME IS SO DAMN FUN.
Man, core mechanics really are on point. Mix that with the Star Wars IP, how unreal the animations are, and how chaotic it can get and the atmosphere is incredible. Was worried after the beta maps but man some of the rest of these modes and maps are on point.

Supremacy is becoming another favorite of mine. I loved Rush in Battlefield and this feels exactly like it.

Same here and I redeemed it but when I went to check my hard drive I didn't see any DLC file.

Oh you probably won't have anything on there until it releases for us on December 1st? I can't check mine right now but I will soon to see if mine is different.

The gunplay in this is so fun and refined. From what I've played, there's actually a bit of back and forth instead of just who shoots first always wins. One weird thing is that the games I've played had my teams totally ignoring the powerups. They would all just ignore them while I would scoop them haha

There are little lightning strikes on the maps that you pick up and it gives you +1 charge. If you go through them quickly though there is an option of just buying 10 charges with credits.

There are pickups during matches that will bring the count back up. Buying more charge is optional.

Endor is some bullshit right now, with the Cammo on the rebels and only 1 walker to destroy its super easy to win as rebels. That's fine but they nerfed Hoth for the Empire so now it's pretty easy to win as rebels all around.
Ahhh ook. So they do run out. Wasn't sure if it was 25 per match or 25 total then gone until you bought more. Ive yet to actually use it yet thats why im slightly confused. Purchased it then I had to sign off for the night. Thanks!
Is it comparable in damage to say the ion torpedeo?

The jetpack should be an early unlock. Too many levels give you a nice advantage for being up higher than someone else,
The survival mode stuff is the best part of the SP, primarily because the AI actually seeks you out.

damn, most walker assault matches are ending after just the 2nd batch of y wing bombers today.
I'd hold off calling for buffs/nerfs until the maps are well known. Unfamiliarity with the maps will cause the game balance to be wonky for a week or so.
2 main things seem to come out
-Simplicity. This isn't a bad thing IMO, and with all the other shooters out there I'm glad there's one that's taking a more casual approach. I have enough options if I want something more competitive.
-Content. DICE spread themselves thin with all the game modes I think. If you only like a couple of the game modes the content could seem light.

I've got it on PS4 and the typical install bar on the dashboard finished 15 minutes ago and the patch has downloaded and installed but the game is still making me do the play as Darth Vader mode while I wait for the game to finish installing. Any idea how long this takes? I already tried exiting and loading it up again.
I have yet to see an imperial victory on that mode. Rebels now have the advantage it seems.
This Stormtrooper doesn't give a fuck/knows how to make an entrance:

Must have been the way it synced with the music, but in the moment I found this to be hilarious. Probably enough video games for today.

Yeah, doesn't help that the uplinks are in really hard to reach or difficult to locate areas. I don't think I've ever seen anyone of the Empire actually manage to disable the one in the trees. Endor is just way too dense.
It's not that bad. Just won a round on Sullust as the Imps.
Ended up blasting TotalBiscuit with my AT-AT too.

Yeah, Endor is a map where the dedication to the OT has proven to not be a great game design decision. Wearing bright white in a forest is an inherent disadvantage.
Jump Packs will be crucial for the Empire on that map once everyone unlocks them, though. So stupid that it's a Level 13 unlock.
I don't understand--why would it not deserve a "hard time" if they weren't satisfied with the content? They're just criticisms, IMO, and they're echoed across reviews, impressions, gaffers, etc.
Ion weaponry is far too easy to get with little downside to using the cards for them which makes the AT-AT really weak and on top of that it seems like they gave the AT-AT way too large of a weakpoint. Should have stuck with the neck instead of the belly
I had the same problem but I remembered that you can do custom controls on ps4.
No complaints from me.
This game is a fucking BLAST!
Supremacy is amazing. I was getting used to flanking large groups of people and generally playing it slow and safe. Instead of shooting right away, staying crouched and finding the right opportunity to sprint up to the side and either flank or get them from the side. Racked up a nice 43-12 my first time when I joined late. The atmosphere in Supremacy is fucking incredible.

Has anyone tried Share Play? It doesn't seem to work and I wanted my friend to try it out with me in local coop.

If you're still doing Vader waves it hasn't finished installing. It doesn't show on the main dashboard. A message will pop up when it is done.
I'm not sure what your listening to. The sound in this game is the best i've heard all year

same with me last night...fucking a lol
Yeah I'm not sure if it was the best choice of an instant unlock for a lot of people. Considering its a level 25 weapon most people will not even bother using anything else
5.1? I'm on 2.0 digital stereo and it sounds nothing like Battlefield
