The only thing I am worried about is if we can still play in third person or not. The Amazon pave mentions a weapon mod that increases zoom. That doesn't go either way to proving or disproving TPS but I'd still like a solid yes.

Any mention of squads? The partner system they bolted on to replace squads is not sufficient.

Not that I've seen. Personally hoping for 4 man sytem from Battlefield.

Third-person as infantry is confirmed!

Will this have space battles similar to BF 2. I mean I am pretty sure it won't have anything like the cancelled BF3 game. But i hope it atleast have something similar to BF2 space battles. I was overall dissapointed with the trailer as i wanted to see gameplay and what modes battlefront 2 (DiCE) was going to have. The trailer showed nothing that's important imo. Also i can already predict the story lol you play as imperial character/first order (Seems like every SW games these days make you play as an imperial atleast single player focused ones) then you will probably have change of heart and join rebels.

All I need to know now is if we'll get a Server Browser and Server Renting.
ElzarTheBam

Server browser is absolutely a must.
Though,free non segregated content slightly improves a non browser situation for some but not all people.

If it's like the last 3 MP EA games that feature free DLC.
Expect 1/2 maps every 2/3months with a huge array of cosmetics to purchase with real monies.

They already confirmed no season pass.
Of course I'd miss this info. Thanks

Ok, show of hands. Anyone fire up the game again after all the news?

Thanks.
Sooo... class system now? I don't like that. I prefer everyone on an even playing field & not having one person with abilities someone else doesn't (minus heroes).
Gimme a server browser and vehicles/ships that are on the ground, not pick-ups. And we're good
Edit: Seems like they're not going were they're on the ground.
"You shouldn't just feel invested in your favourite picks, but like you truly deserved to break them out mid-battle. One of the most dogged criticisms of DICE's first Battlefront game was that it rarely made you feel like you earned its biggest rewards. Accessing gadgets, vehicles and nigh-unstoppable heroes via floating holographic coins might have made things a little smoother - no more TIE Fighter bunfights as whole teams tried to climb into one cockpit - but it was hardly satisfying. The fact that collecting those power-ups was mostly a matter of good luck at the expense of other players, and that those moments could end pretty suddenly only compounded the issue.
Executive producer Matt Webster summarises that problem well: ”it was a brief experience for the lucky few." It's clearly a rehearsed line, most likely because a major part of the multiplayer team's job has been to fix it. While the devs, again, won't delve deep into exactly how the system will work, we're told that both heroes and vehicles will now work on what the team calls ”a resource-based system"."

Nice. Wonder if it's constrained to one mode or if they'll let us use any hero on any map in other modes as well.
Sure, it doesn't make sense to see Luke fighting in Theed, but I wouldn't mind if they go all in.
I guess it's up to Lucasarts/Disney, so probably not

Hopefully that means I can use Vader to beat the crap out of his terrible grandson.

It's probably the Hero Blast mode they were working on for the 2015 game but couldn't finish .
I would hope so especially since they're adding in specific class roles and the whole SP is based off a squad.
Now just give me conquest and I'm in

They could do 5 four-man squads or 4 five-man squads for 20v20.

Really hope they don't do any nonsense paint customisation for Stormtroopers. It's fine on clone troopers because we've seen them have more freedom but doing it on stormtroopers would miss the entire point. I don't wanna see some neon pink leopard print stormtrooper running around on Hoth.
Yes, conquest pleaaaaaaaaaaase
Makes me think they will go some unlock system kinda like BF1, but instead of them being just skins they're ingame gadgets. And my guess is (since no season pass) we'll have microtransations involved. But I'm fine with that, as long as all the maps and modes are free.
Tal Shiar Agent

I doubt LucasFilm would allow something like that.
PintSizedSlasher

Yeah, that's never going to happen. Expecting a shit ton of paid alien skins though.
which I'm all going to buy probably

The (very likely) microtransactions aspect has me fearing the worst!
Lots of alternate skins for heroes too.
PintSizedSlasher
Member
Yep those too.
Man, if you think about it, they have so much stuff they can monetize, now that they've gone all eras.
If they play their cards right, EA is going to make so much more bank than they've would've made with a traditional season pass.
So the presentation for Battlefront 2 got me hyped enough to pick up the digital ultimate edition of Battlefront 1, hopefully it still has a decent community on Xbone?
I haven't played since the beta, which I enjoyed, but for some reason didn't pull the trigger on buying at the time. Looks like the DLC added a lot of great content!

Honestly if they go real deep on species this time i'd be open to paid aliens.
But im talking adding anything with a legitimate presence like...
Nautolan(Kit Fisto)
Tholothian(Adi Gallia)
Togruta(Shaak-ti, Ahsoka)
Kel Dor(Plo Koon)
Dathomirian(Assaj, Night Sisters)
Mirialan(Luminara, Barris)

I love Pokken!

check http://swbstats.com/ to see how many people are playing. Xbox One is fine. Not as many players as PS4 but more than PC.
for comparison:
Battlefield 3 (2011): http://bf3stats.com/
Battlefield 4 (2013): https://bf4stats.com/
Battlefield 1 (2016): http://bf1stats.com/

Why didn't y'all tell me how good the heavy repeater was?!
God damn, been looking for a replacement for the EE3/4

And that's the nerfed version your using. Imagine how ridiculously good it was pre-nerf.
Yeah, seriously.
The only helmetless stormtrooper that should be allowed is a First Order skin for Finn.

You have NO idea.
It was godly. The charges shot went further and did more damage I believe.

The E-11 is still the best all-around blaster in the game.

Hey all,
After the trailer for 2 I had to reinstall the first game on PC. I never bought the pass, is there a specific DLC that is still pretty active on PC? Would be fun to buy one and get my Star Wars fix.

That's right, huh.
Man I ditched that gun so fast once it was nerfed. It was nice to use something besides my E-11 after awhile.
Yea I played a bunch last night and barely had to wait to get matched. Although I definitely understand why they don't want to do DLC packs in 2, considering almost every game I got was vanilla stuff unless I specifically went into the DLC playlists (which the death star one was pretty awesome)
