Yeah. It's nice how the default guns are still some of the best in the game.

Cheeks Spread for Digital Only Future
Man I still remember the original bowcaster, and the trait that cancelled all cool down on cards at level 3. It was the only time I was good at battlefront.

I've got something like 10k kills with the E-11 and nothing over 1000 with the other blasters. Usually only use another blaster for challenges.

I don't use anything outside of the E-11, A280C and DH-17. First for the Imperials and last two for Rebels because I really like my immersion.

Planets won't happen if they are worried of splitting the players.
Character packs need to happen as long as they are pretty balanced to the originals.

I love Pokken!
Someone on reddit posted some leaked info from the closed after panel
Also some pics:
Good to see some Rogue One content.
Problem with Jedha is that you already have Tatooine and Jakku in the game, and now you want to add a third desert planet? Seriously doubt Jedha will make the cut.
Nonsense, the ability to use assets from Tatooine and Jakku will make it a lot more cost effective for content.

Looking through the classes on the pre-order page, I'm guessing:
Assault = Regular infantry (Soldier)
Officer = Medic/Support
Heavy = ...Heavy (duh)
Specialist = Sniper
Assault = Regular infantry (Soldier)
Officer = Medic/Support
Heavy = ...Heavy (duh)

That doesn't tell me anything though. Affected how? By what? In what way? Will it be attachments that modify aspects of ADS and hipfire? Will it be a boring standard shooter now?
apparently they're digging into the beloved new canon EU
Anyone playing on pc have a low down on the current state of the game there ? Can the numbers be trusted from the battlefront player count site ? The news about the sequel has me hyped to play again and I see it's included in origin access . Was wondering if origin access sparked the numbers up a bit .
I am pretty disappointed in everything we have learned about Battlefront II.
The gameplay of the first one is excellent. I was really hoping they would keep that intact while adding more planets, vehicles and modes that better integrate aerial and ground combat.
Also, am I the only one who hates the story idea for the campaign? I don't want to have sympathy for the empire and to see things from their POV. They are space Nazis. I want to kill them all and restore freedom to the galaxy. I hope there is a "twist" partway through and she joins the alliance, or was a rebel spy all along or something.
Edit: I was also hoping for online splitscreen and for the campaign to be co-op. It sounds like splitscreen is once again going to be limited to just matches against bots and other random mediocre modes.

Hopefully the visual customization doesnt get too crazy. It should still look like Stormtroopers fighting Rebels on the ground, not a trooper with a Mandolorian helmet and Vaders torso running around.
If there was paid DLC so that you could not see any player customizations, I would buy that for sure. I want all my stormtroopers to look the same and be appropriate to the planet/context of the mode/map.

If there were any heroes from this game that you wouldn't care if they were dropped for the new game, who would they be?
Honestly it's Greedo and Nien for me. Yeah, Nien can be very useful in objective modes, but out of all of them these two are the last I think of when I think Star Wars. Dengar too honestly. Maybe keep Greedo and drop Dengar, but drop Nien all the way.

Would be Dengar and Lando for me if I had chose two, one from each side, to not be included. Purely from a gameplay perspective

Wouldn't mind if they ditched Dengar and Bossk, keep the rest. And I really hope they can give Chewie a good makeover, I still think he looks like shit.

I tell you what
Endor is the most frustrating map in the universe.
Get caught up on EVERYTHING AT ONCE.

No lies detected here.
Whenever I get hit with a Endor loading screen for the large maps, I've rebooted the game more than half the time.

Supremacy on Endor = Kill me now
I do wonder how they're gonna tackle era-specific blasters in the sequel.

Probably stay in their era maps/characters until you rank them up to a certain level then they'll be usable across all eras.
Specifically it's Survivors of Endor that really makes me audibly go UGH. It's chokepoint central.
To be fair to Survivors of Endor, it's a gorgeous map. The combination of burnt forest and fallen AT-ATs is such a great variation on how Endor is usually depicted. The worst map imo is Scarif. Not many choke points, but I always find myself getting caught on foliage that looks like something I should be able to run through.

Yeah, I could see that happening.
Oh man, Walker Assault on that map is a nightmare during the second uplink section.

Because you're worth it.
This is something that never bothered me at all, it fits in with Star Wars (heck, it was one of the only few things about the gameplay of the game that actually fit Star Wars). The Rebellion was always disadvantaged against the Empire in terms of technology, they had to use outdated vehicles like Y-Wings and X-Wings (that were usually stolen) while the Empire had the latest in starships, vehicles, and weapon R&D.

X-Wings were actually manufactured by Incom Corporation specifically for the Rebellion.
Sure, it fits in with Star Wars. But it doesn't make any sense to the balance of the game. A good player in a AT-ST can easily turn the tide in a game by him/herself. Specially in supremacy / turning point where players aren't using torpedo.
