How many players will this game support? More than BF4? Do they have bots in multi? Cause it looked like it had more than 32 vs 32.
And damn they really nailed the Star Wars sound effects!

It's less than BF. 40 players are supported.

Not sold on the game yet, but my god, that sound design. Holy shit, the thermal detonators sound amazing, as do just your regular blaster. I mean, it's DICE--I'm not shocked...but still. Far too many Star Wars games have lasers that sound too tinny--I like the bass they are using here.

Ehhh?! So all the scrubs getting killed in the footage are bots or players? That seems like a low number for Star Wars battle feel. I mean you got infantry, walkers, x-wings and all... + heroes on the battlefield.

It looks that DICE did a great job in recreating the feel of Star Wars battles in the game.
I loved what we have seen in gameplay trailers graphics look amazing and i liked a lot the different aspects of the battle, but I will wait to see how the final version of the game plays (especially the net code) before I decide on a purchase.

I wasn't sold on the AT-AT's being "on rails." But I am fine with it now. I don't like how Battlefield fights feel so big, and it is sometimes hard to find people. The AT-AT's should be a strategic point, kinda've like Payload in TF2, that everyone will gather around. I am hoping for good things from this.

This "AT-AT vs cable"-thing is getting so boring now.
It was cool in 1980 when i saw it in the cinema, but it's been in so many games and other media since then...

Eh, maybe it's because they showed a snow level, but the visuals didn't blow me away. I mean there's only so much you can do with that setting.
The sound, on the other hand, was on point.
I think I was impressed by Horizon the most, visually (love the art in that game). Or Ghost Recon.

I'm more interest in hearing the X-wings/Tie fighters/various laser sounds etc going around my head with a full 5.1 surround sound system (or 7.1 if i have it by release) - this is going to sound fantastic with proper surround sound.

Most visually impressive game I've seen from E3 so far. No question. Can't wait to play it.

Any ideas as to the yellow/red bar at the bottom of the screen during TIE fighter piloting? It seems to be full yellow at some point and then goes half red, half yellow. One end of the bar has a cross hair and the other has two up facing arrows.
Totally with you. I'm so pleased that the explosions, smoke and sparks all look like they do in the original films. I was afraid they'd just reuse effects straight from Battlefield. Well done, DICE.

Was that the loud implosion grenade thing? Because that sounded absolutely amazing.
Anton Sugar

I think so. I haven't seen any other grenades aside from the detonator (yet), so I think that was it.

I just hope I'm not really bad at this game as it looks and sounds amazing. I really just don't want to be dogshit at it.

I hope we get some impressions and offscreen gameplay.

I hate this E3, now i just want November to be here.
I'm guessing that is your cannon power/cool down. In other ships you see two bars, I assume the other bar is deflector power or a secondary weapon.
I just assumed the yellow was representing the health of the Tie Fighter whereas the red is the your health.
PC footage. Not much, but it's something.

More footage.

Luckily, that could be updated fairly easily. Dice do update their games for a long time.

Listening to LevelCap now--sounds like the UI, or at least the UI concept, is pretty final. DICE talked about loadouts as a "hand", like a hand of cards, which is why the icons look like cards. You have complete freedom to choose what you want in a loadout, it sounds like (he used the example of two grenades + one primary).
Vehicle battle pickup lets you get into ships and ground vehicles (he doesn't say this is the ONLY way). You have to activate it, where you're vulnerable for a few seconds as you "call in" the vehicle, then you basically "spawn into" the vehicle. As far as he could tell, you can't hop out of the vehicle--you stay in it until you're dead. Again, he emphasizes that he doesn't know if this is the only way you can interact with vehicles, but this is how battle pickups for vehicles work.
Vehicles do not recharge health on their own (thank god). DICE is thinking about repair battle pickups.
Maneuverability of vehicles is very arcadey (disappointingly so), but DICE said they're far from done tweaking the vehicle flight model.
Wah-wah: You can harpoon w/tow cable only after the AT-AT's defenses are downed by Y-Wings. Unfortunately, after you launch the tow cable, you basically enter a mini-game where your speeder flies around the AT-AT automatically and you just have to keep an icon "balanced" in the middle of that gauge at the middle of the screen. DICE said they want to keep the game accessible :-|
TTK is longer than BF4, but not much longer.
AT-ATs, in Walker Assault, are a constant threat and always looming, even if players aren't in them. AI takes over and will shoot at enemies.
Frequency and type of battle pickups change as the battle progresses across the map: some may be vehicle focused, some are infantry focused.
"Buddy" system much like MOH games--no squad system. Can always spawn on your buddy.
He said he had a lot of fun overall, but I'm still on the fence. I don't like some of these accessibility compromises they're making. Level said he's worried that the skill ceiling will be very low.

Is there high quality 1080p60fps footage anywhere to download? I need to see this in all its glory.

Although i agree with being leery about the "compromises" i also totally get why'd they go in that direction. This can potentially be their biggest game ever at Dice. They want it to be as accessible as possible.
