lol that`s exactly what other people say it isnt^^

 

[jeemer]

I almost wish I hadn't played the beta. Despite some niggles it absolutely exceeded my expectations. I had a big battlefront shaped hole in my gaming schedule last night, no idea what I'm gonna play for the next 5 weeks!

 

[JimiNutz]

They should of kept it up forever, could be this generations Wake Island demo.

If you order and pay off a digital copy of the game before release you should get to still play the beta. Would be a real incentive for me to slap down the cash now.
I miss the beta

 

[Dr Prob]

With decent flight controls instead of this dumbed down crap.

I ctually like these controls because now I'm a decent pilot unlike in Battlefield ^^

I totally understand wanting to make the flying accessible for everyone, but even keeping that in mind it felt really undercooked in the beta. Didn't even feel remotely like flying at all, not that I've ever actually flown anything of course, nevermind a spaceship, but you know what I mean. Video game flying.

What is the Wake Island demo?

 

[Lulu23]

What is the Wake Island demo?

I think he is talking about the BF1943 beta. If I remember correctly, I played that up until release and even afterwards when I lost acces to the main game.

Or was that another game?

 

[Kölsch Bloot]

Does anyone other than me wish we get our Beta statistics made available, just like Ubi did with R6S?

 

[MADGAME]

Happened in one of my games as well. Easteregg?

Maybe there will be Wampas in the Hoth ice caves in Droid Run

Now immagine Fighter Squadron in space.

With the Death Star, Yavin, Endor, Rebel Flagships, or other awesomeness in the background

 

[Lionheart1827]

Man instead of falling to the ground and disappearing, I wish Vader/Luke would just do a force jump into the sky or something. It looks so shitty seeing them collapse and just sit there for 10 seconds and just disappear.

Would be cool. But I wont count on it

Wampas are underutilized in Star Wars games.

From what star wars-game is that?

Jedi Academy had them too. And ride-able Tauntauns.

1 month to go

So......long.......

 

[Darth Smurf X]

I woke up this morning and realized what was missing from Hoth: Tauntauns.

Put a few near the Rebel base for them to navigate the landscape a tad faster. That might help the balance issues. Imperials have AT-ATs and AT-STs on the ground... rebels should at least have Tauntauns.

 

[DavidDesu]

Missing the beta. I'm excited that this engine runs at 60fps on PS4. Surely that means it's not impossible we could have some form of VR experience out of it. No I know the main game wouldn't work in VR, but imagine flying the ships around the maps... Yeah it would take some scaling back of the graphics, but surely not by much. Imagine it!

One issue I had with the vehicles was not being able to look around the cockpit, more because it made it difficult to see what was happening, where an AT-AT is, without flying directly in its direction. Surely they can alter the control inputs to free up the other analog stick for this purpose...

 

[javie3d]

Had a ton of fun playing the beta, there was quite a lot of LOD popping on ps4 though

Never thought about it, but you are completely right !

Would be awesome to have too for the complete hoth experience

Duuuuude

 

[sjay1994]

Probably going to be an unpopular opinion... but I really wish there was some prequel planets in this game.

Despite a lot of things the prequels does wrong, and the overuse of CG, those planets are far more interesting to explore in a game, imo than planets that were created using on site filming and practical effects.

For example Cato Nemodia, Kamino, Courascant and even Naboo all have interesting architecture and environmental features

Opposed to the original + Force awakened planets which are essentially Hoth, Tatooine and Endor, plus sullust and later Jakku.

Hoth Endor and Tatooine are essentially just snow, forrest and desert maps. Sullust is probably the most interesting in the base game, and Jakku could practically be indistinguishable from Tatooine if it wasn't for that star destroyer.

In a film, over use of CGI is bad sure, but in a video game those fantastical worlds are ideal.

NOPE. They had prequel maps in the original and it just made me think about how I hated those movies.

This makes me sad.

http://www.polygon.com/2015/10/14/9...t-developer-acknowledges-beta-balancing-issue

I don't get it. It seems to me people are making the balancing issue out to be bigger than it is.

It's a beta. That's point to tweak the balancing and test the network infrastructure. DICE has been pretty good at constantly tweaking and rolling out updates to improve balancing in BF4 and I'm sure they'll continue here.

I don't remember it being this bad.

JUST LIKE THE MOVIES!

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

Now that the beta is over I really miss it.

Tried to play battlefield 4 and just couldn't.

Battlefronts arcade like feel and format makes this the perfect Shooting game for me. The pick up and go nature of the game is its biggest strength.

I feel the same way. Hoping to play with some of you once it gets released!!

Im 70% sure that at least 1 of the expansions will be from the prequels.

but not accurate to the beta, i was killed a bunch of times in the co-op sessions(was playing solo)

i can't tell if its cranky or just constipated

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Did Luke have a way to destroy an AT-AT by himself once they are vulnerable, like in the movie?

 

[lawnchair]

can we also have jar jar running around going "boop boop waboo wabbo meesa" ? or a whole army of jar jars?

 

[Dineren]

For those of you playing the PC beta how bad was the cheating and how well does DICE usually police it? I don't play many fps games online (aside from Destiny), but my only Walker Assault game on PC had two people seeming to use aimbots and several kicked by fairplay (though the two with aimbots were there the whole match). I mainly played on PS4 during the beta, but the PC version looked incredible and is really tempting me if cheating doesn't turn into a big issue. Thanks!

The Fairfight messages are global. It does a pretty good job. I doubt you ran into actual aimbotters.

I spoke to a co-worker of mine and he said the alpha aimbots were still working and undetected.

But the places where to get those are surely not unknown to DICE and they probably have that leak plugged by launch.

 

[MUnited83]

I had a game were there was a guy using a aimbot and was never banned. Guy ended up with like 250 kills/0 deaths and would shoot me across the map with the machine gun in one shot.

 

[RyudBoy]

I uninstalled the beta on both PC and XB1 today...

I felt so empty after I did that.

 

[Magilla]

Same here. Dude with 150 kills and 1-2 deaths. Sniping people across the map with the blaster. So frustrating.

 

[Dineren]

They might have just been really good, but I have my doubts. He would always kill me in one hit with a blaster from a pretty good range and always got several of my teammates as well in a few seconds. He ended the match with something like 130 kills and only a few deaths. The other guy I wasn't as confident about, he always killed me in one shot, but not as often. My main reason to suspect them both was at the end of the match I checked the profile of the one who got me the most and his only friend was the other guy I had thought might be cheating.

I'm not a great player so I won't deny it's possible that he was just that much better than me and the others on my team, but it seems unlikely.

 

[Ganhyun]

Any game has the ability to be hacked and have cheaters. Hopefully DICE keeps all three versions relatively clean.

 

[Digby]

If your co-worker was using them, you should punch him in the dick.

I came in this thread to see if cheating was as widespread as i feared it was. I ran into a bit of it too. They'd better have a handle on it for an online only game. I'm tempted to just say screw it and buy it on the PS4.

I only encountered one (or at least only one that was obvious) and I played like 40/50 matches. Considering it was a free beta and people can just make a new origin account in two minutes, it isn't so bad. Hopefully the pricetag hinders them on the full game and DICE renders those hacks unusable before it launches.

 

[jeemer]

For those of you playing the PC beta how bad was the cheating?

I played ~28 hours of the beta. I'm certain I didn't see any in my own games (although I did see one on a youtube video)

The only thing that made me raise an eyebrow was that I did see an imperial who seemed to have shot me while he had a personal shield up, and it didn't look like the shield went down in the normal time. May have just been a glitch though.

I've just preordered the ultimate edition on origin using a mexican proxy and I paid using paypal. Never done this before, so can anyone confirm if I get billed now or on release? Also if I look at my origin account it still has the product details in spanish and release date as coming soon - that's all normal right?

 

[Beepos]

$45 with the 25% off code at Green Man Gaming is a great AU price. Much better than Origin's AU$89.99.

Fantastic price for Aussies... Really tempted at $45.
