The game will have 7 base Large maps with the month's patch. The game also has 16 small maps, the only one being a derivative of a large map being the new Hoth map, Twilight, which was an unexpected bonus.

How is there a lack of weapons and gameplay variety? What does the latter even mean here?

I think the only real answer that is needed is how is the playerbase going? Is it increasing or decreasing? That would give a fair look into how the community feels about the game

 

[Dictator93]

Explain, please. It is not you, it is me. I am confused by the second part.

Han never "shot first" (which is what the phrase in the OP concerning Greedo is playing off of). Rather, han just shot. Greedo was murdered in cold blood.

"Han shot first" for some reason has become the popular phrasing over the years. Probably because people argue with the 1997 versions in mind. Arguably by people who like repeating the phrase rather than thinking about it.

 

[DoctorFling]

They got Greedo's fingers wrong. They ain't long and weird.

 

[Enthus]

I don't have this game, but for future dlc it should be:

Bespin- Lando and Bossk/IG88

Death Star- Chewbacca and Tarkin

Please no Yoda.

If he didn't have normal human fingers they would probably clip with the weapon he was holding.

Murdered in cold blood? Han had a gun pointed at him, and was being threatened. Greedo even told him he had been looking forward to killing him. That is undisputibly self defense. So even in the original movie where Greedo didn't shoot, Han still "shot first" as opposed to being murdered.

Sy Snootles is making a strong showing here, i hope DICE takes note

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Meanwhile, no less than three people on my Facebook today have decided to buy a season pass to play as Nien Nunb.

Star Wars fans love that motherfucker.

Wow, this sounds like the worst kind of astroturfing I've come across on this forum.

Clue: Go to Star Wars GAF thread or the 30 or so TFA threads in the last year and count how many Star Wars fans have professed their love for Nien Nunb

Those emotes better have some killer dance moves.

 

[Whompa02]

Not Lando? Chewie?

 

[UberLevi]

Fuck, can't wait to play as the Cantina band next.

I'd imagine nearly every multiplayer centric game loses players month to month. I don't think that's a good barometer of anything.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

There are more DLC packs coming...

People need to stop overreacting about this.

I can't tell whether to get the Season Pass. I normally never would but I'd wait until the first one is out any way (or detailed) to know I'm not being completely fucked. I actually really enjoy the game when I play it (especially with friends) so I know I'd enjoy it, it's just really a question of whether people will still be playing this come Christmas or after or not.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

No level cap increase huh?

 

[Vard]

No level cap increase huh?

There will be a level cap increase to 60 with the update.

With Rogue One (the film) coming out in December I'm sure people will be still playing the game then. The last DLC pack is rumored to be related to Rogue One too.

Yes, Nien Nunb has more "Likes" than Greedo has "RTs"

Doesn't mean a whole lot though. People usually like something rather than RT to their page for everyone to see on their timeline.

 

[Infinitemadness]

Been mentioned before, but Sy Snootles was excellent in that Clone Wars episode. Would play.

he's garbage
worthless

jar jar binks would have been better, at least he's more iconic


Kaltenecker ‏@eli_kaltenecker
@HatokTalk @EAStarWars yeaaaas thats what u was thinking. Obi Wan would of been my #1 instead of stupid Nien Numb aka the monkey.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Or that there is 3 more packs coming, goodness.

You don't unload all your best shit in the first pack. Nothing but a trolling thread at this point.

 

[Whompa02]

People need to stop overreacting about this.

but...Grevious? Or Ig-88? Dooku? Mace Windu? Qui-Gon? Literally anyone else? I'm not overreating, those "heroes" are so lame. They have no, "heroic" qualities.

 

[eizarus]

Greedo and nien nunb ? There was nobody more iconic ?

I get Greedo but...Nien Nunb? Really. I guess that's the price for sticking to the original trilogy.

Get some bounty hunters.

Really? Greedo and Nien numb over Yoda or Chewbacca? Come on Dice. And how are those even "iconic heroes"?

Damn it, Dice! I get that you wanna limit yourself to the original trilogy, but this kind of sucks. Greedo isn't so bad (though he's not exactly an Imperial), but None Mofucken Nub.?

Greedo is finally going to shoot first!

Really hope that one of his skills is called " Shoot First!".

 

[Straight Edge]

Aren't they running out of time to get this to season pass holders 2 weeks early?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Aren't they running out of time to get this to season pass holders 2 weeks early?

They can drop it tomorrow, or even on the 15th next Tuesday and still be 2 weeks early, and still make March for all.

I mean, if you looked at a fucking calendar you could figure this out for yourself.

Threads about Battlefront do not require critical thinking, or hell, even innate thinking of something most check every single day of the week.

I find it hilarious that anytime someone speaks out against Battlefront or how things are being done you are the first to come to the rescue

 

[Straight Edge]

and yet they haven't announced a release date. No need to be a fucking asshole.

Are you going to jump on the constant trolls as well whenever anything Battlefront news comes out to Gaming Discussion, or was this not meant to be objective?

 

[BradleyLove]

but...Grevious? Or Ig-88? Dooku? Mace Windu? Qui-Gon? Literally anyone else? I'm not overreating, those "heroes" are so lame. They have no, "heroic" qualities.

Discounting the PT characters for obvious reasons, you suggest IG-88 yet state Nien Nunb (who only helped destroy Death Star II) has no "heroic qualities"?

IG-88? The same droid that basically stood in the background on a single scene in Empire?

Come on, we can discuss the relative "heroic qualities" of these two characters, but to bring IG-88 into it...

So my question was valid. Signs point to a delay.

Well March has always just been for season pass-holders, so I don't know how that would be a delay.
