New Star Wars Battlefront Coverage (Oct 5)

- Start date
I kinda hope you can at least get an Imperial Officer uniform or something for the Empire.
Judging by the style of the menus, EA has left plenty of room for DLC, as expected
Nice!! That sounds great.

Interesting, thank you!
I'm guessing (hoping) there will be Stormtrooper variant outfits beyond the ones we've seen, TIE Pilot suits, maybe if we get a Death Star or Star Destroyer level we'll see Officers, Imperial Gunners, Royal Guards, etc.
I'm guessing surprise heroes might not only be the classics we all know, but also characters from the upcoming movie. Hopefully they implement Aunt Beru with a Blue Milk power up.

Now that I've finally gotten to play on PS4 I'm happy about the progress that's been made since alpha.
Heroes do look janky though. And it seems the feature I worked on is not in this beta
The alpha was really biased in favor of the rebels on Hoth; I'm glad they've fixed that but they might have gone too far the other way. We'll have to wait and see. Rebels really need to abuse the fixed guns on the map and make sure to all be shooting at the AT-ATs when they're vulnerable.

This game is great, I wish I could go first person in hero mode though.

Is it really that difficult to wrap them up with a snow speeder? Seems like that would be the trump card for the Rebels.

I watched/listened to the Playstation Twitch stream today and... Thursday can't come fast enough.
I haven't tried in this version but in the alpha any damage at all would knock you out of the QTE minigame for destroying them that way. I only pulled it off on the first day when nobody knew what they were doing. It's also difficult for the rebels to field a lot of snow speeders when people don't recognise the powerups and go straight for them.

So i really dont know what it is. But the XboxOne version for me has this weird hiccups and lags. Dont know what it is. Maybe it has something to do with the NXOE Dash beta?
Anyone on Xbone without the new Dash?
PS4 was smooth like butter.

Small world, we've been battling for the past hour or so, haha!
I had LOW expectations for this after watching recent media, but the game is fun as hell, don't know why I doubted my dudes at DICE.

Seems like this is where people are talking about the game until beta OT is up. I just want to say this game is beauuuutiful on PS4 (and pretty fun to play, even though I'm awful at it)

Game looks great on PS4 based on the shots I've seen. I love the lighting.

Is there a melee attack ?
They're pickups on Hoth, I saw Luke running around, but never found it.
Yea, clicking in on RS.
It says R3 in the options, haven't played a match yet myself.
JumPeR, when you put up the beta thread again can you put in the info about Survival being limited to 6 waves in beta, but 15 waves in the full game. Otherwise I feel like a lot of people will be complaining about the mission. Maybe also mention the other types: Battles, Hero Battles and Trials.

Guys, is this what jealousy feels like?
The Walker games I played had like 6 people per side, there's still not a huge population yet.

Any impressions from people that have gotten into games? Lag? Rubberbanding?

Oh ok thanks, is it a rolling release like midnight UK time etc?
Why are they not allowing people to pre-load, the strain on the servers is going to be huge!
I'm going to use this as a test to see which is quicker PS4 or X1.

I'm actually enjoying the game more than I thought I would. The power ups appear to be abundant, so the vehicle timer doesn't seem so bad. I also played a bit of survival, but since it's limited in the beta, I only found it useful for getting used to the controls. Otherwise it's very casual friendly with everything based around a cool down or pickups.
