Star Wars Battlefront

By heychadwick, in X-Wing Off-Topic

Beta testing will be starting at some point for the non EA Star Wars Battlefront coming to steam.

Wish I had a computer again for the fan BF3. Side note, Dark Souls 3 was a dissapointment, another rushed Fanservice masquerading as a sequel. Good job FROM.

At least Witcher 3 lives up to the hype.

I've been playing DS3 since release and nothing else but it. It's an excellent game.

Cloud Cars coming next week! Wonder what the Empire is gonna get?

Did they say when it's going to come out? I can't check game sites from work.

Forgot about my phone. June 21st. Very cool!

I have no interest in the old BF games. I didn't like them then and won't care for them now.

Just got notice that bespin is live for season pass holders... so of course I'm sitting at an airport and unable to check it out until the weekend.

I downloaded it but have yet to get a chance to play it.

Dengar looks pretty good.

I played a few hours yesterday. I like it! Once again, I wish you could pick the types of missions you want to play in Bespin, but the rotation is kind of nice at times. I really like the Squadron games in Bespin. Having something to actually fly around is a lot more fun. I find the Imperial BOOST is a lot more useful when you have something to boost towards (and away from enemy fire). I haven't really figured out the cloud cards yet. I tried them at first and got frustrated, and put them away. They felt slow, but maybe that's because there is no ground. I've seen others going pretty fast in them. So, I might have to try them again.

A lot of the games have fights over these little rooms with 4 doors on all sides. I'm seriously trying out the Flash Grenades in these missions and having....some success. I need to work on it some more. Maybe the smoke would be better? It's hard when there are 4-6 guys in a room waiting for you. I do like Scout, though, to come up unseen on the radar from an off side.

I haven't had a chance to play Dengar or Lando yet, but I'm looking forward to Dengar. He seems like a beast! That's where I wish I could just pick the Hero Battle in Bespin....but can't. I just want to try him out. I did get to play as Leia for the Sabotage, which is great for her.....just to have my wife call me right then and I died while off screen. Ugh....

I need to try this, it may be weeks. Right now Battlefleet Gothic: Space Marine fleet is taking my gaming time. FOR THE EMPEROR!

Oh my god don't get me started on this EA bull... ****, too late.
Let's just say as a long time Battlefront fan, I cannot and will not accept this game, as I see this the license is wasted with EA, they don't seem to do anything with it, (except one generic (overpriced) shooter...)


My hopes lie with Galaxy in Turmoil, and to be honest I don't think the chances are too bad for this game to get released.
I think the pressure from the fanbase is just to high for Disney and EA to justify taking it down, considering the potential backlash.
I mean Battlefront sold good, but not as good as it could and certainly not as well as it was predicted, since the target playerbase simply did not cared for a Star Wars Battlefield.

And without an alternative by EA, the chances for GiT are not halfbad

When does the Tau expac get released?

No release date set yet. I'm excited for that because of my irrational hatred of Tau (this means I will engage them at every possible opportunity).

Battlefront did a lot right.

Unfortunately it's multiplayer focused and to me... well.

No.

It didn't sell great AND it's # of people playing at any given time is horrible. They'll get a boost from these dlc, but I haven't played it since the week that the first dlc released. After I unlock whatever can be unlocked this weekend I'll probably shelf it again until the next one and repeat that until my season pass ends, and then I'm done with it.

Why haven't they fixed the end of match contracts display yet? I still have the same 3 showing from the first expansion even though those were all unlocked and I've unlocked a few new ones. Ridiculous. (Sabotage is fun, but often one sided.)

I'll actually turn my xbox on tonight.

Warzone firefight is out for Halo5. 8 player firefight PVE with bosses.

This sounds awesome!

I haven't had a problem with the number of people online. Well, if I want to try one of the unusual ones at 6-7am on a Saturday (I wake up early sometimes) I have a hard time, but beyond that, I usually don't.

I have one contract that is messed up for me. I got my last kill as the mission ended. It gave me the upgrade, but didn't count as having done it. That shows up. Beyond that, the other contracts are fixed and I see new ones.

The new contracts are a bit hard. I'm finding it really hard to get a kill with Ion Torpedo. I probably need to stop playing the new expansion to get those kills. I can get 2 hits against a AT-ST, but can never get the third. I can get hits vs. cloud cars, but never the final one. Also, getting Sabotage awards is hard. I am still working on those, especially the ones where you have to be a hero on those maps. You can't just pick Sabotage as the game type and play those until you get it. I find I am always playing Walker Assault or Supremacy when I pick Bespin.

I still like the new maps. I wish there was a way you can add them to the regular rotation. That's one thing I don't like.

All 3 are stuck for me. I just go back to the hutt screen to check my progress and tune out during the after match screens now. It's not game breaking, just annoying.

The ion torpedo also works on e-web blaster turrets. find someone standing at one of those and it's a 1-hit kill.

I had to go to hero hunt to get my last 5 Lando kills. I can never find the hero spawns in real game modes.

Earning money is slower than I remember... or these contracts cost more. I still have 3-4 of the 8000 ones to buy.

Using dioxis grenade in combination with shock grenade is evil and I love it. toss the dioxis, wait a second, toss the shock, and get 5 seconds of poison damage ticks against a room full of people.

Oh! I didn't know this. It will help a lot, actually. THANKS!

Ha! That does sound like fun. I haven't gotten the shock grenade yet. I think I've gotten 1 Lando kill. I tried to use him in Hero vs. Villain....and got clobbered by the villains. I should try it again and be coy about it. Probably watch a YouTube on how to play him, as well.

I love the Dioxis anyway, especially to choke off some points during Walker Assault.

It's especially good with the Bespin maps. I like going Scout and using Dioxis to come in at one of those sites from the off side and throw it in.

Haven't got a season pass, so Bespin is too far away from me. Hardly play the thingy maps as they're not 40 players which is what I usually play.

Never touch the Starfighters anymore really.

Actually, they changed them all to be 40 person maps. So, all those odd maps have a lot of players on them.

Also, the Squadron in Bespin got better with floating things to fly around. It makes the Tie Fighter Boost much more useful.

One of these days I'm going to schedule in a few hours specifically for this game, instead of the haphazard one or two rounds I play at a time, perhaps two times a week.

I have all the new contracts unlocked except the one that needs 20k as a hero in sabotage. I've never even played as a hero in that mode. And it comes up so infrequently as it is.

The article about the death star expansion said new vehicles. Anyone know which vehicles?
