Gaming Star Wars: Battlefront (2015) & Battlefront 2 (2017) [Mod Approved]

cally ewoks for rebel units, agents for empire units, all ot planets for co-op, chewie buff, leia big buff, four new weapons (one for each trooper class), interior of starships for HvV and co-op, updated appearances for rocket troopers and wookie warriors, vehicles/squad spawning/ friendly AI heroes in instant action.

All OT planets for co-op. That's the thing that I've been waiting for. My Main Heroes are Iden and Rey; and on top of that I have "purchased" skins for Rebel and Imperial troops.

 

That tease at the end looked like Scarif, looks like we're finally getting Jyn in BFII

 

I checked out his twitch right now but was just running around as a trooper, I was hoping for All Maul Improv stream for like 3 hours

 

I still wish they'd expand on the character skins to at least allow you to keep the same alien/human for all four troop types. I miss using the Twi'lek all the time in BF 2015; I'm hardly ever a specialist.

 

I'm not sure how much we should take this data mining as gospel; considering wasn't it like a year ago that they data mined both Ahsoka and Ventress content?

 

Not much to get me excited, but oh well.

 

New modes for Instant Action sounds great, especially if they put Galactic Assault within it. Although I suspect those who want more online GA content will be a bit sore if that were to happen.

 

20 v 20 would be chaos, but a great sort of chaos, especially now they can use vehicles.

Just one thing with the aerial troopers. Am I right in thinking they removed the cards that buff rocket and jet refresh rates and included them within the base unit?

 

That's dead helpful then. I'm no longer wasting two cards just to make the aerial worthwhile.

 

This fight brought to you by old school Samurai movies

 

Tried the new update last night. The E-11d doesn't seem that great which was a bit disappointing, but I love the new ISB Agent. The Ewoks are a neat idea and are probably lethal in the right player's hands, but I'm completely hopeless with them right now.

I'll try to unlock the new Specalist weapon and see how that is, because I've started to enjoy playing that class recently. I've gotten a few killstreaks just blasting away at the doors of the juggernauts in the second phase of Kashyyk Galactic Assault.

 

Looks like fast experience gains are going to be a permanent thing for the rest of this month. Nice of them to recognise the fact plenty of people are going to be stuck at home.

 

Interesting article on the recent TROS novelization.

Spoiler: Campaign mode

Star Wars novel confirms Battlefront cameo in Rise of Skywalker

“Zay Versio with Inferno Squad standing by. Look at all these ships!” the main character of Star Wars Battlefront 2’s Resurrection DLC says[

It also suggests the open possibility that Iden herself might make an appearance in Season 2 of The Mandalorian/SPOILER]

 

Anyone else remembers these?

 

We played a lot of multiplayer. Insane private games between multiple clans. I participated in a few recorded games.

 

A glimpse at the Scariff update and the announcement that they're discontinuing DLC support.

 

So it's truly the perfect Star Wars experience.

Seriously though, as you've said, they've already put a tremendous number of man hours into the game, and it's very clear that it's all hands on deck for the first next-gen Battlefield game. It's either stop supporting a two year old game and assist, or keep drip feeding periphery characters into the title and risk the other devs in their office getting put through crunch.

I'd rather the prevention of inhumane work conditions and crunch.
