PS4 Amazon UK code now working via PS Store.

Yay, thanks.

 

[SpotAnime]

Yeah, finally found on the PSN store and just added to download queue. Will have to wait until after work but I will be ready!

Can't wait, this will be my go-to game through the holidays.

 

[Jaqen19]

I did a few hours ago and they said it's because they're not on the participating retailers list. I'll try again.

It's in the product description for the digital edition so it looks like they are unless it change during the past few days.

Worked for me too! Thanks a ton!

Played the first map and man that framerate is far from a locked 60fps on Xbox One. And boy does it look blurry outside. But that's no wonder since it likely is 720p and on my 65 inch TV. I need to see this on One X.

 

[bombshell]

For new page about PS4.

PS4: UPDATE: Players who have redeemed codes should be able to download now. Check your store for the Beta.

Mine's the physical edition of the elite trooper deluxe whatever. Would that make a difference?

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

No, not really. Its not P2W at all. Everything can be unlocked by playing normally. Stuff in crates is just shortcuts.



My first round.

Yep. And the advantage you get from an Epic starcard as opposed to a lower tier one is really small.
It's actually pretty much like the first game, which had two tiers of starcards. Now you have four tiers.

Yeah, for reference I compiled all of the starcard info from the alpha and leaks here. The gap isn't that big.

 

[Raide]

Kinda hoping they start to add some interesting variations to the star cards. Cool to have a certain amount of weapon modding too but the starcards could do with variations to keep things fresh.

Yep and I can accept two extra tiers on the star cards this time in return for all DLC for free.

 

[Jaqen19]

Mine's the physical edition. Would that make a difference?

Just took a look and it's on both and that includes standard and deluxe versions.

 

[DeadOnions]

Anyone else finding this blurry on the Pro? Hope it's just an old build as Battlefield 1 looks much better.

The Amazon support people keep linking me to this page

At the bottom it doesn't list them under the US participating retailers

 

[BigEmil]

I redeemed the code ages ago but nothing automatically downloaded on my PS4 yet?

Anyone else finding this blurry on the Pro? Hope it's just an old build as Battlefield 1 lokks much better.

Battlefield 1 ran below 60fps, Battlefront games tend to stick to 60fps more often, better frame rate overall

That's a shame. Going to see for myself right now

You need to search for it in the store and hit download.

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Yes, that's my experience as well.
Kinda disappointed really.

That is quite unexpected, wtf.

Can't say the same about the beta on Xbox. Far from a great framerate.

Oh no, don't say that! Was hoping and expecting this to be ultra crisp on my 4k / Pro setup.

 

[LoveCake]

I have the Star Wars Battlefront II: Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition on order with GAME UK, I have not had anything about a BETA code? It doesn't mention anything on their website about it.

 

[Tensketch]

Wait, is starfighter assault just fighter squadron from the first game? I really wanted a mode like in BF2 (2005) where you started on a capital ship and had to invade the enemy teams capital ship.

Dice, for gods sake, just skin Battlefield with Star Wars, stop trying to make it different.

 

[VincentMatts]

So wait, you can't crouch in this game.......wooooooow. what a terrible decision

 

[Lom1lo]

So wait, you can't crouch in this game.......wooooooow. what a terrible decision

? You have to hold the dodge button

 

[DeadOnions]

Hold the crouch button. Lord knows why they've done it like that. No option, as far as I can tell, to switch it to toggle.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I happened to get a preorder at Gamestop yesterday, am I too late for a code?

 

[Gravemind IV]

I really hope the XBOX1X version is going to be heavily improved. Buying it specifically for this game, but the normal xbox is running it really blurry and far from 60fps.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Because tap is roll.


Not noticing framerate or blur issues on PS4Pro.

Omg thank god, thank you

 

[xam3l]

Does anyone has a PS4 key to share? =D

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

Damn, no climbing over walls, fences obstacles and etc?

No, it's got objectives now rather than being TDM in ships.

Got an extra code. Send me a pm if you want it.

 

[Palpable]

Called Amazon because I never received a beta code (PS4, NA, preordered deluxe physical). They keep giving me the run around. They eventually just told me to call EA. What in the everloving fuck. Why can't these dipfucks just get their shit straight

 

[CaptainSmirnov]

Seems like its 1080p or a bit higher on pro. Looks nice otherwise, it even has HDR

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

Is it perhaps possible the Pro enhancements just aren't in this beta?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

GAME are one of the participating retailers so you should have been sent one.

United Kingdom: GAME, GAMESTOP, AMAZON, ShopTo, Grainger, Games Centre, Games Collection, Zavvi, Xbite, Smyths (Online), Tesco [online]

To prevent people from drop shotting which is a excellent idea

 

[taoofjord]

There's def a toggle crouch option on pc. And looks and runs amazing on PC.

I'm liking the changes a lot so far!! Can't wait to dig in after work!

 

[VonGreckler]

I can't find a starfighter control setup I like...
I think there's a glitch on PS4 where if you select southpaw for star fighters it says the left stick is for pitch and yaw which I want, but then playing it has thrust and yaw on left stick which I don't want...
Anybody else on PS4 able to test and see if they have the same issue?

 

[death2sarge]

So is it codes are universal? Or only work for the console that you preordered for?

 

[IdodgerI]

EA website playing up for anyone else? Trying to log in but won't load the page correctly, so therefore can't get hold of my EU PS4 code as Amazon just don't wanna know. =(

Does anyone have a spare that they don't mind sharing with me please, to save me from this pain?

EDIT: nevermind guys finally got the EA website to work and now have my code. Any way to get a beta to remote download? 🤔

 

[DeadOnions]

I'll check again later. Maybe I just missed the option.

And yeah overall it plays alot better. The feedback when shooting feels great. Maybe I'm wrong but also TTK feels higher?

 

[Youth Crew]

HDR? 👀

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Do you need PS Plus for this beta on PS4? COD beta didn't require it. I'm wondering if I can play with my non-Plus brother...

 

[Beowulf28]

Amazon sent me an Xbone code but it’s not working. Anyone run into that?

 

[WilsonX100]

Not in the US they aren't.

Yes they are

 

[EarsOfASnake]

Did they add any aim assist on PC if you are using a controller?

 

[Cyborgmatt]

This game looks amazing on PC.
