Walker Assault is bananas! The amount of crazy shit going on around you can be damn overwhelming but it's still a lot of fun. Winning as the rebels is pretty tough though.
Also I've got to commend Dice on their graphical work and sound design. Game shines with a nice pair of headphones.
Drop Zone is a lot of fun too, it's also hectic but at least people can comprehend strategy there. So far the beta has been very enjoyable.

Is there no one playing on PS4? Struggling to get a match started.
Are you kidding me? I want a game that is balanced. There is zero cover on Hoth outside of the tunnels and trenches, which means you'll just get destroyed.
It's ironic that you say that anyway, given that Battlefront was in itself a generic shooter.

Any noticeable differences for folks who have played both X1 and PS4 versions? I'm leaning towards X1.

Do you get an E-mail from EA/DICE if you got a beta code?
Or do you just log into Origin and see if it's open or not?

Same. I actually love picking up powerups around the map too. Haven't done that in a while in an MP game.I really love that Arcady feel of the game. Its awesome to not worry about some stupid physics or bullet drop. Its awesome
I have to on both systems..oh god, lol.
Nah. I'm getting match made pretty quick.

I sense a great disturbance in the force. As if a million servers cried out in terror then were suddenly silenced.

PC gamepad support? Does it exist? Better than previous battlefield games?? Lemme know!!
Guess I'll have to stick with the PC version in the meantime as that's already preloaded, though I can't max it at 1440p, oh well High should be good enough.

It does exist, the graphic for it in settings is that of a Xbox One controller. Haven't tried it yet because, you know, PC multiplayer shooter.
I've won a single match.
I've played the mode a lot though I'm not sure of the exact amount of games, it's atleast been 20. So right now it's, at best, 19-1 imperials.
People do seem to be better at approaching it today atleast since previously I saw a lot of people firing on the AT-ATs without them being vulnerable. But that will get way worse again tomorrow.

That hill between the first set of objectives and second, getting on top of, giving you a view of the whole field. Feels cheap but feels so good.
Reminds me of the hill at the start on Port Valdez.

Yeah I suck at this game compared to battlefield.
Actually didn't think it was possible but I guess I was on a really good team.

It's insane that the two times I've played Rebel on Walker Assault, we've handily destroyed the AT-ATs by the second checkpoint.
There's no real strategy besides holding the uplinks and thus building up a sizable reserve of Y-Wings (we're talking like 8 or 9 here) and then concentrating fire with anti-vehicle weapons and turrets when their shields are down. Graphically, it's a hell of a sight when you have 20+ players shooting at the same time.

I was luke and found vadar. Unfortunately a bunch of asshole stormtroopers decided to light me up mid duel.
You just need to be lucky and find the appropiate pickup.
Hero pickups have a lightsaber icon. AT-ST has an AT-ST icon etc.
Your gifs of this game are the best.

someone said 3pm for central europe .... so +-1 hour i guess.
the problem is that empire players can just lonewolf through. Everybody is fixated on their killscore and they also get vehicles. Rebels rarely pull Y-wing cards out and even then it's much harder to take down a walker, because by the time you shoot your harpoon, your shields are most likely depleted and you die.
I really think that empire players have to suck big time if rebels win. All we do now is just wait and try to skip rebel rounds asap. Kind of kills the game.
Around midnight then?
Lol, look at them go, also, you seem to get these moments at the right time.

Fuck all the negativity. If I ran into that on the Battlefield I'd just stand and watch honestly. Yes they are moving at a ridiculous speed. But that looks so good.

First time I did Hoth, I stopped and stared at the AT-AT and admired it. I then died because I was sitting there just looking at the damn thing, but it was just awe inspiring to look at.
OK. Are the power up pick ups placed at complete random?
Haha. I am probably going to die a lot when I first start playing. Standing around staring at everything, taking in the sights and sounds.
Vehicles seem to have static places, hero seems to be random across a few locations?

It really seems like that Vehicle pickups are static, ive seen people only getting kills with vehicles and going 50-4 or so.
Needs to be more random

Anyone know when it will go up on the XB store? Usually demos and such go up at 12am
Makes no sense to have them random. The big ones like AT-AT have a time limit too, so they can't just ride one to victory the whole game unless people are letting them take it each time.

Does anyone know how the matching works? I noticed last night I was playing against a friend who I didn't even know had the beta. Somehow it just auto paired us and the only way I found out is when he killed me and it told me who killed me.
