It's a little disappointing you can't create your own hand of star cards.

If you win a round on Hard you can.
Like VE3TRO said, it opens the Vader Mission when says its ready. I'm at 8% rightnow. -.-'

It's pretty good. The AI on realistic isn't bad at all.

Prelim thoughts:
*Beating a Skirmish Walker Assault mission on Hard didn't unlock a custom hand
*Palpatine doesn't spawn Royal Guards. Instead of items he spawns healing tokens (Leia I'd assume the same)
*I don't think I'll ever get over seeing Hero tokens lying around with no one trying to snap them up
*The AI is freaking merciless. I felt like I saw five enemy soldiers for every one of mine.

How are they in regard to going for the objective?
I only played briefly so didn't get the whole feel of it.
Yup, will be buying as soon as this is added. And they should keep expanding it to all maps, so I have option for co-op against bots on all maps
Other than a few annoying bugs like custom hands not unlocking, hero tokens not always working and so on, I'm really enjoying this update.. Hope they can get the other modes - or at least Cloud City WA - working soon.
Rebels juuust managed to take out both AT-ATs on hard difficulty when I was playing against them. Imperials actually try to shoot down speeders when they're using tow cables AND they shut down uplinks. Bots > most people online

"hello?" "this is vagina"
I hope Digital Foundry does some performance analysis for splitscreen, would be very interested in picking it up if it's a mostly smooth 30fps.

Could this lead to Split Screen - Online? That could take this game from good to classic, for me.
Enemy AI is pretty focused on the objective, especially at higher difficulties. When you're defending an objective, you'll get squads of people coming at you.
Your own team occasionally will activate or deactivate an uplink, but the emphasis on objective play seemed mostly on the player's shoulders.

Yeah, I ended up using Palpatine to truffle shuffle between the uplinks and keep 'em off. His healing boost worked wonders and chain lightning was really good at eliminating enemy squads.
They probably don't want to have people playing online running at different frame-rates (probably why Halo 5 never got split-screen online too).

Must be glitched. DICE mentioned you could. Maybe you need to win on Master.
Man, fighter squadron just feels weird compared to the multiplayer. I feel like I'm having way more trouble shooting fighters down even on normal.
Yep.
Yep.

Apparently fighter Bots AI is different in skirmish

It's a good move for them to do this, but I really want them to include Supremacy and Turning Point.

Didn't try FS yet, but I feel the same about WA.
It just feels so lifeless and boring compared to multiplayer WA. Not going to sink much time in this I think.
Had completely forgotten about this.
As someone who lives in a region with very low population for the game, this is a life savior. Yeah, I know I can change datacenters and play in the US, but when I do change it, latency comes into play and I'm considerably handicapped.
What I want to know is, have anyone tried to get achievements in this mode? I still have a few to do and being able to do it like this would be very helpful.
Wondering the same.

As I feared you have a giant target painted on your back and are the main target. I flanked the AT-AT and left the battle on Endor and went for an explore, I was really far from the battle and could barely hear it when I was suddenly shot, there were 9 stormtroopers and an AT-ST right behind me.
Same in the ice caverns on Twilight on Hoth, even AT-ST down there, stuck, wave after wave.
They shouldn't know you are there, it should be line of sight or sound. The battle should go on without you.

take a lesson from Wash and be a leaf on the wind that my tip for you. But damm the fighters lack speed.

So... I'm on PC. Got this to play offline with friends, just to occasionally jump in and mess around. We cannot level up in Skirmish though right? So... What are my best options for leveling up considering PC's terrible player numbers.

Only multiplyer is going to level you up. Just find the mode that is most populated and grind, Though if you find it a grind, why bother.
So yeah, I played and its kind of "meh".
It's somethign that should be available from day one but with some tweaks. Its fun and all but theres no much more beyond that. It lack a big goal, no sp-level up, no upgrades, no nothing. Feels like a demo of sorts.
Its like this game its cursed with the lack of content, it never feels complete unless you go for the paywall.

Bots don't take hero powerups in WA. They do in Fighter Squadron.
They'll do the other stuff in WA, but my experience has been the ground in Skirmish is littered with things that usually go fast in multiplayer. The bots definitely don't steal anything.
Damn, that's a shame.
I'm stuck with a few that are very hard to do due to low population and latency... Seems like I will never be able to hit 1000 for this one.

Are they adding the other modes later? My wife loved the old battlefront games but the Walker mode has too much going on, she just to kill storm troopers.
Try hard and master!

Played a few walker assault matches on normal difficulty, and wasn't even close to winning. I don't think the rebel AI was even trying to damage the walkers. Took one down with a late Snowspeeder, but even despite regular Y-Wing runs, not enough damage.
Bah.
Bah.
