    They said it at the EA panel, they even got a pic of Jyn and Krennic up on screen (The EW pics but still). But in case that isn't proof enough for you here's some Tweets confirming it :rolleyes:

    No offense, but I love popping bubble boys. One of the highlights of the game when someone pops a shield after getting shot up, makes for an escape, and I hit them with a cycler round and finish them off.

    Is the Bespin DLC released to the general public yet? I've been wanting to get it but whenever I go to the store I'm always forced to just get the Season Pass which I don't want to get. I only wanna get the Bespin DLC

    Yup, been available to non season pass holders for at least a week or so now. I believe it's $15. USD by itself.

    Yeah I just went to the store and was able to purchase it separately. Looks very nice! I like the Fighter Squadron mode on Bespin

    FS has always been my favorite mode, and it looks like the Death Star DLC will feature the game's first true space battles; complete with Star Destroyers cruising in the background.

    Well you know as well as I do that you're not gonna be able to fly them. It would be cool if you could board them and man the turrets; like how it was in the original games.

    Yeah the trench run looks cool too. Adds somewhat of an obstacle for fighters.

    Battlefront space battles as I remember it (PS2).

    More links!
    http://www.vg247.com/2016/07/19/two...ar-wars-battlefront-bespin-dlc-are-coming-up/
    And apparently there's also http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/live-events which I didn't even know existed until the VG24/7 link above. :)

    So basically, two Bespin tryout weekends are coming, first one is a month from now in August and next one in September. I hope this live events website gets more attention and care, because I don't know if it's been there from the start and I never knew, or if it's been cooked together more recently. It's great anyway that there's some way to tell what kind of special activity is ahead to be looked forward to, especially when the website has been a little slow to inform us of them taking place.

    Death Star may be the first DLC I buy for Battlefront; but I'm still holding out hope that they cave in and allow for DLC purchases ala carte, where we can CHOOSE WHAT TO BUY from each pack, like a map and its modes.

    Any active PC players (preferably Europe) around? I have a question. Is it really so difficult to find a game due to small number of players? The Ultimate Edition is at a relatively reasonable price right now and I'm thinking about buying. But if matchmaking makes the game impossible then I'll have to pass on it...

    I'm loving the Bespin DLC, and the maps are all well populated on the ps4

    Well, I haven't really found it difficult myself, though at times there's a bit of waiting, rather than the queues being instant, but it's just been some few minutes for me. Bespin seems to be where most people are at right now, because those queues are really fast in comparison to the original and Outer Rim ones. But that's all just personal anecdotes, I suppose the mileage is going to vary some. I've been satisfied with the queues anyway.

    To be sure about the purchase, I'd suggest trying https://www.origin.com/en-fi/store/free-games/trials first to take a personal look at how it is. It should give 4 hours on the original maps and modes. I imagine the Ultimate Edition is still relatively costly, so it might safer to just have a look and see. :)

    Thanks! Unfortunately the sale has just finished so they decided for me... I kind of regret it especially since I could request a refund in case of problems. As for the trial - it wouldn't answer my question fully, because I guess it's vanilla only.

    Well. I'll keep an eye open for another discount. Maybe Force Friday or around Death Star release.

    I'd look on eBay for used copies of the game. You could probably get the PC version for less than $20 now.

    I've been playing through some hutt contracts lately...Anyway a strange thing happened earlier.. some kind of unlock popped up on my screen saying "scout trooper unlocked" and a pic of its head, and since then all the rebel skins are unlocked (except Bespin guard) but no scout trooper? I'm only level 35!!??

    Odd

    I'm not understanding. You got a message that the Scout Trooper was unlocked; yet you're only Level 35 and when you checked all other skins were unlocked except the scout trooper? What about on the Rebels side? Do you have any species unlocked?

    Yes, but I think I know what it was now... It was the diorama figure for 250 headshots haha!

    All my rebel skins are unlocked now though? Apart from the Bespin guy. I haven't had to pay for any with credits!

    Early on I saved my credits for the Twi'lek skin. I'm at level 62 now, and don't plan on getting another skin unless they release a Togrutan one :)

    Yes I remember you talking about it.

    Next time you're on BF have a look at your rebels skins to see if yours are all unlocked. I might have got some kind of lucky glitch!
