I was observing it on the weekend and it seemed to peak around 26k on PS4. Seems we lost a good 8k players. Hopefully COD won't syphon off any of the remaining and it holds steady until SWBF2 next fall.

Yeah, I can start telling when I need a break when I start to get angry at idiot teammates, 19 of whom can't seem to ever go positive.

The Reddit dataminer who has correctly found information several times in the past has new info on the upcoming Hero Blast mode.
What I like is if the mode is restricted to Season Pass holders and possibly those who purchased all packs separately, that means all heroes/villains should be playable as 7v7.

Will it only be heroes?

It certainly sounds like it. It appears to be a mode that utilizes all blast maps in the game (vanilla and dlc), heroes only, and at least 6v6 (no idea about Scarif heroes).
Kinda cool, this data-mining stuff. However it works

The same guy used the data he found, along with some mods to get the B-wing working in the game. As far as I know, the mods were only used to assist with spawning, and not to alter the B-wing coding, damage, etc.

Couldn't listen, did he mention anything about trying cockpit view?

No mention of cockpit view, interesting it wasn't touched on now that you mention it.

Check my recently made threads.
Reskin Battlefield with a Star Wars theme. Instantly would fix a lot of its problems, and would automatically make it play like the original Battlefront games again.
Other that that, make sure we get PT/Clone Wars era stuff back as well as ST and Rebels era stuff, and ground to space battles.

2 random funny things. I spawned as Greedo, but during his entry animation he roared like Chewbacca. Was strangely humorous.
Spawned as Vader's TIE Advanced, his entry sound byte said "I'll deal with them myself". I proceeded to quickly shoot down a normal X-Wing and Vader said "I dealt with them myself".
Good stuff.

You know as terrible as the glitch is, being on the side with all 6 Heroes in Walker Assault is actually a fun opportunity to dick around a bit. A bunch of my team just stretched their legs and taunted around, while the heroes just did some semi-RPing.
Hell, in some cases, the handicapped opposition was in on it too.

It's funny, but it's also inexcusable that it's gone unfixed for so long.
I don't know why they refuse to patch between content drops.
Yeah this confounds me. We've gone through two XPs with this problem and it's the biggest one I've encountered in the game so far.
Sometimes a team is so god-awful that they can have all 6 heroes and still get wrecked.
Each patch costs them money, so they bundle it with content updates.
I understand that, but this game made money hand over fist, and plenty of games with far less sales get far better support.

I have a feeling the sequel be more of the same.

Stop. You're going to make all the nu-males who are boycotting the game because it doesn't allow you to play as a female, cry.
......what?

There are people boycotting BF1 because you can't play as a female.

Which is a valid reason to not want to support the game.
That and it's wonderful 29fps in multiplayer on consoles.

It's a fair point. This is 2016.

Yep, the year that everybody is offended by everything.
I think it's a bullshit reason to boycot a game that takes place during the 1st World War, a war where the only women that we're actually on the battlefield we're Russian and that faction isn't even in the game (yet).
Maybe we'll get female skins with the Russian DLC to appease the offended.

Do you really want me to pull out the bingo card?
Battlefield 1 is themed after World War I, the multiplayer isn't historically accurate in the slightest.

If you want a "legitimate WWI" experience just play as a man. Doesn't mean their shouldn't be a choice.
Did we see any female storm troopers before Phasma? Not that I can recall but doesn't mean that players in a video game shouldn't get a choice.
I can't believe this shit just crawled its way into this thread.
Disappointed.
I bet you're PC too, aren't you?

Yes, well on a gaming forum PC can mean multiple things.
So you thought I was asking you if you're a personal computer?
That's what I read too. It read as if you asked if he was a PC player too; which seemed like another nonsequitur turn to an already nonsequitur line of conversation.

Yet you have no problem that:
-- depicting women may cause offense to war veterans and is a blight on their memory.
-- depicting women will require showing gruesome violence against women;
-- it trivializes the participation of the two countries that suffered the most causaulties of the war by including them as DLC, and;
-- rewrites US history so people playing the game will get the impression segregation and racism in US society didn't exist.
Nah, you just chose the "no playable female skin" hill to die on. Even though there's an entire SP mission depicting a playable female character.
Do you really think the sarcastic use of catchphrases like "historical accuracy" or a gif that somebody made in Photoshop somehow justifies your point?
I'll spell it out for you in very simple terms: REWRITING HISTORY IN ANY FORM OF MEDIA IS BAD, BAD, BAD.*
* Especially when it affects how certain groups in contemporary society behave towards others.
the idiocy will not be escaped.

what i want from battlefront 2: none of the trash from the prequel trilogy/cartoons

Soooooo...... How about that Cybernetic Female skin? Cool or what?

Translation: let's censor civilized debate about rewriting history by calling it "idiocy" (i.e. shitposting).
Tal Shiar Agent

Lets play this game.
-Last time I checked there aren't any WWI veterans alive.
-Shouldn't the issue be how the depiction of gruesome violence is an issue in itself and not specifically in regards to women?
-Thats got nothing to do with women, its a strawman.
-How does the multiplayer do that? Oh, it doesn't and wouldn't if women were included too.
If "rewriting history" in a multiplayer shooter is so bad, I assume that you will forgo ever using SMGs, flying a zepplin, or a dozen other inaccurate things in the multiplayer. Otherwise you are a hypocrite.
You had to drag this idiocy into this thread, maybe you shouldn't post here anymore if you can't keep your gamergate shit to yourself. This is about Star Wars Battlefront, the most diverse and progressive multiplayer shooter this generation.
#1 on my list is a server browser
Tal Shiar Agent

Yep. A server browser and less shit like explosive shot and bacta bomb. The core gameplay is perfect.
i mostly hope its balanced and plays well. also i don't want different hoppers for all of the DLC. fix the way the DLC is played. etc.
surely it will focus on a new era, which for me knocks it down a little bit. OT is the best. for me it won't be topped. PT sucks. The new stuff .. well, it has potential. i guess that's the direction it will probably be going. i simply don't have much attachment to kylo/rey/fin etc. they can still make a great game in that era (hopefully a better game than Battlefront), but it'll never hit me like the stuff from the first game because of the characters/locations/weapons used.. all the stuff i grew up with. yes, my STAR WARS FANTASIES. none of my star wars fantasies involve anything non-OT. i had to buy battlefront based on what it was .. an OT-based game. the next game i'll probably wait and see. if reviews/demos stink i might pass on it.

You know, I think I'd finally be OK with prequel content, as long as there's a good balance.
I actually think it would be cool if BF2 spanned all 8 movies + Rogue One, Clone Wars, and Rebels. Include four locations from each saga, and randomize the opponents a la Battlefield. For example, you could play on the Dune Sea as First Order vs. Trade Federation, or Scarif as Rebels vs. Clone Army.
Not going to happen though.
