Is anyone sick of the same maps already? I'm really scared that 4/5 maps will get old quick.

Liking parts of the game but not as a whole.
Hating the supremacy mode and nearly all the 40 players modes because the higher level players have such a huge advantage with the level up abilities. Not to mention its very chaotic with team members not trying to go after objectives/protect them. Why do people not pay attention when someone dies in front of them, bad idea to go out and get shot btw. :x Its also weird as hell how I hit people first with my blaster and they end up killing me while they hit me and I die in a few hits. (I guess I just need to "git gud")
Which is why Fighter Squadron is my favorite mode even though thats rebel favored mostly because of the X-Wing >>>>>> TIE fighters imho. The Hero ships are dumb but they can only do so much. I don't like how there are so many AI pilots though. Makes it harder to do dogfights and make sure you are staying ahead in score. Nothing more annoying than to break off a strafing run because an AI almost plows into you or decides then is the time to attack you. They should give all the ships speed boost because reviving and coming back can take forever. Giving shields to TIE fighters would make for more interesting battles though X-Wings with speed boost sounds ridiculous lol. I wish they would give more awards like ACE and Bullseye for kill streaks and good targeting.
What I would really appreciate is a 10 vs 10 Dogfight Squadron mode. Since its 10 added AI in the regular mode anyways, just get rid of them and put all humans. I wanna be top Dog and prove I'm the best pilot!!! The fights would be intense, the one guy trying to take down as many as possible or the teamwork where 2 chase 1 ship and shoot it down.
Heros vs Villains and Hero hunt is another favorite of mine though Hero Hunt is dumb because it requires you to be a kill stealer. They should change the condition of who becomes next hero to the person that did the most damage, not the guy that got the last shot in on the hero.
In Hero vs Villain, I wanna cringe every single time I see a Palpatine and Leia die early. They are support Heroes!!! PLZ stop charging into battle! If you don't drop their middle ability 2/3 times, you fucked up hard! Vadar and Luke should be picking up the HP drop asap if they are hurt. Also stop swinging like a madman and use the block vs each other. You stagger the other Hero that way and can use your special heavy attacks to do a shit ton of damage. Also for the love of god, if you are the last hero, run the hell away!!! The round only ends if you die. Make sure its the other guy that loses their heroes. Oh and lol at the Cave map for Boba Fett, so bad for his jetpack. Good thing his flamethrower is so damn good. Han's dash is ridiculous too.
Its fun to troll in Hero Hunt with the orbital strike, got an easy 2k score because the hero ended up in the strike lol.
Droid rush is a decent one but heavily favored for premade teams since its only a couple of people.
Drop Pods is a bit better since its defending a point.
Cargo is probably my 3rd favorite since the tide changes every second. Should be an option to continue carrying the package after your ally drops it due to getting killed. Otherwise everyone is always scrambling to stay 6/4 instead of getting to 10/0.
Blast is just the 10 vs 10 I wanted for Squadron. Its mostly for the people that like slayer match styles. I'm indifferent to it because I'm only rank 10 and still have to unlock the really good stuff.
There might be a mode or 2 I missed but thats pretty much my experience so far and I'm liking it overall.

Are you only playing one mode over and over again?
The game has only been out for a day.
It has been possible to preload in EU since Saturday.
Just go into Library and start it from there if it hasn't started automatically.

Seriously? Man, I kinda hoped you could run up to an Xwing/ TIE Fighter, grab it and go, just like battlefield...
Why didn't they design this like BF? But with a Star Wars casing around it?
I was kinda hoping to sneak into an enemy base, grab a walker/fighter and get the hell out.
But this is..........VERY basic.
I'll pass.

I was cycling mainly Walker Assault, Supremacy, and Blast with a friend earlier, and didn't really get tired of the maps. There's a ton of maps in Blast, for instance. Though I see how players who are only interested in the 20v20 modes could get tired quickly.

No, I'm asking. I'm only interested in the 20v20 modes and I was wondering if people got tired of the very few maps already. It's been out for like a week on Xbox One with EA Access.
Yeah to be honest I kind of hate this kind of mentality in these type of games.
Like in Battlefield when people grab helicopters just to get faster to a point and parachute down to capture it, crashing the helicopter and any sense of immersion with it.

The teams I've been on in the 20 team modes have all been utter trash.
For what it's worth , I put around 20 hours into one map in the beta and love every second of it.

At least they capture a point, unlike the other guy just spawn killing in a chopper with 60 kills on the losing side because no one captured.

most likely as soon as the movie is out, the next two expansions will have heroes and a maps from EP7
Gotta cash in on that timeframe!Gipsy Danger

As long as the maps are decent I don't think it's an issue for me. I played 24/7 servers for Strike at Karkand on BF2 and Facing Worlds on UT2k4 and never got bored. Although those maps are the GOAT so I dunno.

I have over 500 hours into Operation Metro alone, but yeah..

Does the PC version have aim assist when you use a controller? Could really have done with that in the beta.
What the hell, lol.
Not old for me yet but I'm at the point after playing all day that certain maps make me go "oh boy this one.". Playing with a friend made it go by quicker tho.

It's not that uncommon.. I know people that bought BF4 just for Metro 400% servers alone..
This guy knows. I was Facing Worlds 4 life in og UT.
Would love to do that, but as there is no server browser and no custom playlists with a single map you're forced to play them all (or quit and find a new game all the time).

Seeing the above pics, why aren't more devs using photogrammetry? Is it too expensive/taxing?

The game isn't helpful in alleviating that problem. Auto balance and team scramble would have been nice. Communication beyond emotes also would help in telling people to stop deathmatching everything and do the objectives.
hahaha. wtf.
I will say that there's probably a better chance for a server browser than big changes to the partner system, as that will alter the game balance.
I'm loving Palpatine. I get that he's supposed to be support but I find 2/3 of people playing heroes and villians are still running straight towards the centre of the map to die. I like sneaking around back routes with Palpatine and flanking enemies. I killed Luke and Leia last night within 10 seconds and I could feel myself sneering as I used the force lightning. So awesome. He can also escape awkward situations quite quickly with the psycho crusher and then heal himself like a rat.
It makes me genuinely happy to see more and more positive posts instead of all the one liner drivebys over the last few days, lamenting minor features we've known about for weeks.
I'm not usually one to call for rebalancing, but unless I'm missing something Walker Assault on Endor needs a little tweaking. Still 3 points but only one walker? I saw it almost go down on the first point on my first game! I'm not mad though.
I love the impact detonator. The fuse on the thermal is too long and I don't think(?) you can cook em. I got a bunch of impact kills yesterday. I'm also grinding levels so I'm currently running both impact and thermal. Flush em out with the thermal and then an impact to the face!
Anyone know the pc equivalent for this? Not tried the battles yet but it might come in handy when I do.
Nope. My only real gripe.
Just when I thought people had run out of things to complain about. Whaaaa?

texture quality and the clovers scream PC
I thought texture quality was the same?
Otherwise, some fuzziness is still evident so that is why I asked. Otherwise, it looks great but when this type of complex natural environment is shown in daylight (particularly without the shininess that rain brings), it is still obvious that graphics have a long way to go to really capture realism.
Still, looks really impressive.
Those PC screenshots have near perfect image quality. Nice set, Fridge.
