How do you know where Star Destroyers are or aren't supposed to be? If the Empire has shit to do somewhere, there's probably a Star Destroyer nearby. Especially if a battle is happening.

Star Destroyers were almost never seen in atmospheric flight; so much so that fans speculated whether or not they could (due to their humongous size compared to prequel era Republic Cruisers). Any notable time they have been shown in-atmosphere has been to crash (Clone Wars, Force Unleashed).
However, the EA games just have them in their skyboxes all the time without any reason. Probably just for the rule of cool.

BlessAnyone catch this, looks like the sequel may have vehicles on the map as opposed to pickups
Yep I was confused.
I don't see why those big cruisers couldn't enter thw atmosphere. Just because they only ever crashed in 1 movie and TFU doesn't mean they can't be there. I think the skyboxes are a lot cooler with them in anyway. Besides, The Battle of Jakku showed them, even Super Star Destroyers, in the skies. I'm sure EA would be told if they couldn't put them in the atmosphere because they couldn't be there if they couldn't.
Edit: Also, wasn't the Star Destroyer in TFU in the sky before it was pulled down anyway?

People gonna complain about anything Star Wars.
It is Sci-Fantasy no Sci-Fi. Do not let our minimal understanding sciences effect our fantasy.

Sorry for the bad quality, but here is a screen of upcoming the Star Wars VR mission
I'm in. Will probably be the most played mission for me, lol.

I wonder if it will be playable outside of VR?

It's a free add on for Battlefront owners, so let's hope there is a non VR version.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Have they announced what cards Bespin will introduce that'll inevitably greatly buff the best players on the server at the cost of everyone else?

The only cards that they added so far that fuck things up have been free ones.

​Here is the VR trailer. I don't like the fact that the title is singular - Battlefront VR Mission. Like there is only one?​

Only played a few games but banked over 40,000 credits.

Yep. That's what got me worried as well.
I told my wife I really needed to invest in a PS VR set, cause Battlefront. If she finds out its only one mission, probably the same length as the Speeder Bike mission, I'm screwed.
I grabbed I think about 60k or so, but I mostly only had a chunk of time to play yesterday, was really busy and not feeling well on Sunday. Was hoping to get in a few hours before it went away today
. I'm only at like 85k total, should be enough to grab any new stuff with Bespin but I'm still like 385k short of buying all the (current) cosmetic stuff, was hoping to make more of a dent in that.Pretty sure no one should expect anything more than a single mission. They'd be shouting from the rooftops if it was a longer experience.
It will be a single VR mission in an X-Wing cockpit.

Don't tell my wife
It could be Dennis Bränvalls 3 year old nephew playing it for all I care, I just want to see it in action! ;-)

Agreed. I think it is just to showcase what it can do, and possibly be a testing bed for BF2 next year.
Either way, I am stoked to be inside an X-Wing, We are going to be inside an X-Wing fam!
Have they said any time or so yet?
12-14 junewhat there was triple exp?! when?

To make things interesting until Bespin drops, I decided to do the following when playing: Every time I get killed, I equip the blaster I was killed with. Did it last night and almost used every blaster available. It was pretty fun actually.
Bought Hardline in a sale recently for 9,99
Great game, had a blast playing MP.
Now you can buy BF4 and Hardline for a total of 8,99. That's insane value.

Adrenaline stim is a key component of the current fuckery.
Yeah, Berserker + Adrenaline Stim + Bacta Bomb has completely ruined any of the smaller playlists for me. On their own I don't that any of them are OP necessarily (although I'd argue they could all be toned down a bit, especially Berserker level 3) but as a combo it's fucking ridiculous. Still really the only thing in on-foot game that jumps out at me as being really unbalanced.
I don't play smaller modes so I guess I'm not noticing it as much as you people. I don't think I have seem that combo yet. But it sounds nasty.
Yeah, small modes have been jacked up ever since that shit came out.
I'm really curious about this as well. With a single playlist, they can't change the player count between maps, which makes me think they'll be all "large" maps. It'll be interesting to see how the mode selection pans out.
If I recall correctly from the Outer Rim-reveal stream I *THINK* Dennis said that Bespin would focus on larger modes while Outer Rim was for small modes. So that makes me think we'll get 4 big maps.
And yeah as you're saying it would be weird with a playlist with both small and large modes.
