Almost decided to get it just because of the cover art. I like it a lot better than the base game and GCU helps.

Oh hot damn, I didn't realize EA Access subscribers get the 10 hour trial starting tomorrow.
Guess I know what I'll be doing.

Not happening is it guys.
I'm super excited about this. I didn't play the beta, so some of the feedback from that has me worried. Not so much the spawn points and minor things like that but the overwhelming 'it's boring' comments.
I don't mind if it ends up being a super casual shooter. In fact I kind of look forward to a pick up and play style of game for a change. After playing nothing but massive open world games for well, most of the year I could use a game like this.

Thanks, so shutting down the console fully after a play session should stop the clock since it isn't server-side, right?
IIRC, I did that with Battlefield.
This will be my first time using EA Access so I'd like to know this as well.
Am I going to be forced to play for 10 hours straight before it locks, or will the time stop when I exit the game/shut down the console?

Just close down the game every time you finish, and you will be good to go.

It'll stop when you exit the game (as in close the game - don't go out into the Xbox guide and leave it open otherwise the timer keeps going) or turn off the console.

No, just manually close the application once you're done playing. (home -> menu button -> quit)
The time stops when you exit/close the game. When you play again, it'll say "You have XXX time remaining to your trial". You have a legit 10hrs to play.

You'll be able to tell the purists on any Rebel team from the concentrated fire rivaling what Vader usually gets honing in on any helmetless Stormies.

I really hope DICE adds option to turn all stormtroopers to appear with the helmet.
Really excited for this game. I decided to get the deluxe edition cause I liked the box art more and I have amazon credits will make it the price I would pay for the standard edition. Too bad it doesn't come with anything that is really significant. But the cover art is good enough for me.

That's why I bought it - the cover art.
Then I remembered that these things don't affect digital PSN orders, particularly how the final dash icon looks. So basically... I'm an idiot.
Lol I was just thinking that too

So I thought I read somewhere that you can't party up with a group of friends. Is that correct?
If I press the Xbox button then it just goes to the dashboard. Am I supposed to press the menu button there and then quit the game
Because I have still not managed to find out, how to quit a game.
You can play with up to 8 friends.

That's how. From the dashboard, highlight the game, then menu button > quit.

Yes, whatever you cursor is highlighting in the dashboard, you press menu and it will give you options for that game/application.
Depends what you mean by "play Hoth". Like Walker Assault from the beta against bots? Then no.
Battles & Hero Battles modes are the only ones that are basically a competitive match against bots.

Star Wars Battlefront marks a return to a simpler time of shooter games. There are no killstreaks, perks, or weapon attachments. No prone stance, or limited movement when aiming down a sight. Access to powerful weapons and vehicles are scattered around the map for the taking. Weapons have unlimited ammo in addition to an active-reload style cooldown system, and are weaker than most of todays shooters which result in longer times to kill.
Ummm.....

In online multiplyer, yes (Fighter Squadron). In offline missions w/ bots, no. Just some vehicle-focused training missions.
Woops. That should read "killstreak rewards". Thanks for the heads-up.SIMPLICITY

Yup. Just points bonuses. No rewards like weapon drops, or typical CoD stuff.

It's just a points multiplier for XP I think.

Probably against better judgement, I'm even in on the Season Pass. Been burned with every other Season Pass, hopefully DICE does not disappoint. But my hype is through the roof.

Really excited for this. Wish there was a mode where you could explore the maps without getting shot in the face tho 
I wanna see some of the iconic stuff in the game!
I pre-loaded my digital copy last night on PS4, is that normal? lol

Anyone else F5ing to see if anyone knows when it'll be up on EA Access? ;p
I would hope in the next couple hours it would pop up. Most EA Access things go up around 9pm EST Wednesdays, though NFS went up way early.
This is my first time trying out EA Access. So does the download come through their app, or the general Xbox store?
Go through their app.
