This game is amazing.
I know its shallow but it feels soooooo good

Fair enough. Doesn't stop tatooine wa for being really really dumb in that last phase
Thanks babe.
If I were to hazard a guess, it would probably be that they wanted to keep it as accessible as possible. There's quite the history of people having a hard time flying in DICE games
*cough*Elzar
All that said, I've actually kind of enjoyed dabbling in the air-only mode.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
How does radar work? Show up always or just sprinting or what?
Sprinting and shooting.

I really like the game BUT i'm having a hard time feeling like I'm contributing on the bigger modes. For example, I feel like I'm part of the herd, getting to the top of the mountain and then getting killed b/c the action is so crazy. Any suggestions on how to make yourself more useful or feel like you're actually doing something to help? I understand you can just continue shooting as many guys as possible but it doesn't feel nearly as strategic or satisfying as the blast mode (which has it's own problems but I feel like I'm actually making a difference).

Endor sure looks cool, but man is it an awful map to play on for walker assault
Spent the whole night playing this and I can't get enough. Holy shit. I like it so much more than I ever thought I would. Incredible game, adrenaline pumping really. Walker Assault has to be my favorite mode, but I didn't try them all yet. I played with a friend and we were on opposing teams. I was a rebel and it was 9 vs 20 for the first few minutes of the match, which made our team fall behind quickly. People then joined and we started kicking ass, but the AT-ATs were too close for us to really have a chance, but we managed to destroy one AT-AT and get the other one to 10% health RIGHT AT THE LAST SECOND.
Infuriating, but fucking amazing. This game is awesome. Goddamn.

Sounds like crazy bad luck. Over 20 games so far and I'm rocking a 76% win rate

Also the player base for this is utterly garbage at the game. It's always a handful of people beasting and dozens of people going 4-17 or something lol

I guess having a 5 day head start has it's perks :B
Welcome to every battlefield game ever lol, it'll die down when you reach higher ranks, though I think that won't happen for this cause you got the casual star fanatics buying it too.

Yep, and I keep getting stuck on a team full of 4-17 people. Not very fun.
Question about the season pass.
I've never purchased a season pass for a game before, as I usually complete a game and my interest in playing it further wains long before any significant content from a season pass has ever been delivered.
In this case, though, the content of this game feels so limited that I almost feel like the season pass is required for the full experience.
Now, to my question... Do season passes ever go on sale or drop in price on PSN, or even retail, or is the current MSRP the best deal we'll ever see?
Thanks!

This game needs some patching real soon.
Spawn points are garbage in some of the modes. I've spawned right behind a bunch of dudes, and in front, and got my ass either handed to me or handed their asses to them. I watched as a bunch of my teammates went through the same experience.
The Hero Units are so damn unbalanced it's hilarious. Getting Leia or Han requires putting in far more effort than Boba, who can just coast away when things get rough. Vader and Luke are decent, but Palpy is just inaccurate all of the time.
The last unlock weapon is incredibly OP. Walk up and shoot. It's a race to just use that weapon in multiplayer, but that could change as people figure out different strats.
The jetpack should really be an early unlock. People who get above the battle get a clear advantage. Not being able to access that area, shoot them, or even look at them funny until you reach Rank 13 is awful.
The Hero Units in Fighter Squadron feel too meaty for my taste. Like, they have way too much health. But maybe that's the nature of the game.
Voice chat. Some of you don't care, and that's perfectly fine, but I can tell you I've been through many matches where a quick comment could have saved the game. Sure, you might get some racist kid, but that's what mute/mute all is for.
Weapons should have different effects, like stopping power or something.
I don't know. Those are just my observations so far after putting in a bunch of hours.
And this. On the smaller, less played modes, this is going to be an issue.

they might go onsale eventually. not too soon as they wont do any significant sales until most expansions are out. That said you could VPN the season pass for only 34 bucks

Yeah, its kinda sickening watching the whole team run away from the control point 8 guys are taking over.
The nice thing is a lot of people run right past the hero pickups so I've been getting those a lot.

Whenever I start the game on PS4 it says I have to play the Darth Vader mission while it installs in the background
But I already installed the disc and the 1.02 update
Edit: Oh I'm stupid I need to play the mission for a couple of minutes

What makes it shallow, just curious, have not had a chance to play. Never tried any of the battlefront games. Have over 200 hours on BF4 but put it down months ago.
Map variety is probably the biggest issue people have right now. The completely broken Walker Assault though is a pretty big issue considering its intended as the flagship mode

I said it in the other thread: it's obvious they're talking about DICE's supplementary soundtrack (plays in some of the menus, for instance), not John Williams
Minimal issues so far for me.

I could play Heroes vs Villains forever. This game mode is so damn fun. Definitely the best of the bunch.

After a good full day of game time with this, almost all in one mode, I have decided this is quite possibly the best looking game I've played this gen.
Pure arcade fun found here. Loving it.

Loving the game but i'm getting the same vibe as all other FPS games I play...which is I will never be good and this game will not cater to casual fps gamers.

Invert and Southpaw, which it sounds like you've done. You just have to get used to using the right stick to control speed/power. Slow down to maneuver better/get more powerful shots, speed up whenever you're pursuing or need to run away.
I usually roll with it about 50% much of the time.

So should I be ADS or just hip firing? Seems like I can't hit shit either way.
Anton Sugar

ADS is only good for the zoom, but that's it. Doesn't improve your accuracy, and it slows you down.
I apologize for probably having been on your team. I was barely scraping 1:1 most games, and some getting down in the 4-9 when you could tell the other team was coordinated.
Then I started playing fighter squadron or whatever, and never had a game where I wasn't in first place, and would go 20k-15a-1d on a regular basis.
Btw the empire is severely outgunned in that mode. The interceptor and regular tie fighter get eaten alive.
