Star Wars Battlefront II |OT| The Circle is Now Complete

My guess is to make the rewards more secure, a.k.a not lose them in the post match screen due to various reasons (bugs, glitches, etc.).

Also these new AT-ATs look awesome!
Yeah, there's no getting around it, you're pretty much going to be picking off the old, the sick and the lame. Maps like Death Star 2 can be surprisingly good for flanking kills and you're usually inside your optimal range. Tagging people with shock grenade can weaken and slow them enough for some kills and personal shield can let you reposition/escape.
Having tried it, the burst fire is really good - you can two-shot most troopers without losing too much accuracy. But you're still a squishy 100HP Specialist so shoot outs are risky.
I'm running Stealth and Personal Shield at the moment but I'm undecided on the third card. Hardened Infiltration is good but I think an A280-CFE build might benefit either the Improved Shock Grenade, or something to improve performance like Marksman or Bodyguard (I love Bodyguard on my Heavy). I've got the Brawler Tier 3 card but I find it underwhelming.
I do hope the new AT-ATs are somewhat more of a threat in the game than the ones we currently have. Nerfed way too much compared to the first game.
It just happened again, was nearing the 'judge me' emote for Yoda. Guess what pops up in a lootcrate just before I unlock it.

Lando is such a beast. Complete troll with the victory pose (why always me?) and emotes. Pulled this trick like 10 seconds later - while also having the pleasure of 100-0'ing the Emperor.
Also.. fuck people who pick Bossk/Iden or Boba as Imperials on Hoth for the second phase. All they do is sit outside and take potshots instead of pushing the objective. Literally denying their own team the win in order to stat whore. It also means that they are hogging the hero for god knows how long as they are sitting as far away from any danger as possible.

So this is what you get for completing the big First Order faction challenge (50 kills with every trooper)?
...I think I'll wait to open it. Not surprised at this point.
The rewards work but yeah, pretty funny.
Who cares about winning, though? I only care about objectives to the extent that they prolong the game.
You're making me want to play yoda.
Oops, I did it again. How to ensure your team stays on the damn capture point.
I finally encountered the crippling lag that people are complaining about. I had run into small spurts of it before but I tried playing some GA last night after grinding out the kills for the faction challenge and....wow, it was totally unplayable. Lag spikes ever few seconds, teleporting enemies, laggy controls, rubberbanding, the whole deal. How can a dev that has been making exclusively MP centered games for over a decade STILL release games with fucked up servers?
So I thought it would be fun to post your personal top tier heroes. It seems like everyone has a different list and I'd love to see the similarities and differences between us all.
Mine are:
Rey - her enemy reveal ability is killer and her mind fuck ability wrecks heroes
Yoda - tough to target/shoot, unleash ability is awesome, and health buff ability is very helpful
Palpatine - chain lightning destroys groups of enemies in a choke point and special ability makes him a beast
Darth Maul - insanely quick! he can attack strong and gtfo of a situation in an instant
Bossk - because of his health regen. He can support from far away and stay alive for practically the entire round if used correctly

Get the 'earned it I have' card + the one that increases the damage on unleashed and go to town with him.
Yoda is amazing. I played him for the first time tonight and took down like 12 guys, Vader, maul, Boba and the emperor in one life. He's such a small Target and hard to hit if you move around right.

I'm actually finding the Officer useful for point defense and objectives due to the Squad Shield. If only we had a slugthrower in this game like the Cycler Rifle last game.
Ive noticed more people using the squad shield last night. Especially trying to take that first point on Takodana.
I turned the corner last night in the hangar on Hoth and a Heavy with a deployed super charged sentry was staring right at me. I was like, welp. I'm dead. I went ahead and held down L2 to block with Yoda and sure enough, I absorbed all of the incoming damage with Unleash. He filled up the bar in like... 1 second. I let it rip.
RIP, that is, for the Heavy. Tee hee.
Yeah I found out the hard way that his dark aura kills through walls yesterday too. Wow, so cheap. Who needs to go toe to toe with rebels zigging and zagging for defense when you can just wear them down at choke points. I may have to change my card layout/levels for Palpatine now.
Remember when I was saying earlier that I was with a great team that I stuck with for a lot of matches.
During one of those rounds on Endor, I was activating the ATAT computer and I shit you not, 3 officers put 3 squad shields around me. And I would have too if not for the fact I was playing Heavy.
Turret has been useless for me so far other than on Theed palace so I've finally switched to squad shield
Squad shield is great on any points in which you have to activate a console while being out in the open like in Death Star 2, and Endor.

I was running around Endor this morning doing the same thing with a few other players.
Too bad the Squad system in this game is bullshit or else you could really get more than random teamwork.
So far I don't have a ton to contribute - I am terrible at this game, while being decidedly above average at BF1 and BF4, and in the very, very good category for Call of Duty and most other shoots. So, I suck at it...but still love it! It is some kind of Christmas miracle. I expected this to be something I played through the trial and then bought on sale 6 months from now when I was sick of CoD, instead it has become my primary MP game. It is just fantastic. I'm sure this has been litigated in the thread a million times, but I don't even mind the progression system. As is it is more "PLAY to win" than anything else, and yes players with good star cards have inherent and obvious superiority, but I would argue no more than high level players do in most shooters when you factor in unlocks and the like.
Anyways, love the game, would love to get in with some ERA folks for XB1. Let me know if there is a group? Please? I need some tips to get better.

Yeah, the turret seems super situational. Ive been trying like hell to complete the turret challenge but I really feel like Ive wasted parts upgrading that thing. It just sucks no matter what.
LOL @ "the old, the sick, and the lame"! :D
Yup. I've been trying to mop up the battle-wounded survivors. Haha!
yes, they die fast. Infiltration should pretty much only be used to flank guys, you will almost always lose a direct firefight.
Also, is the infiltration challenge broken for anyone else? Mine stopped at 18 kills even though Ive gotten at least a dozen more.
So I only manage to get a hero maybe once or twice a session (usually go for enforcer/aerial early), and twice today I got slowly ran over by a speeder and a LIU (?).
It feels like nonsense to get one shotted as a Jedi by a vehicle turning into you, but I was wondering what the consensus was on this - my first Battlefield/Battlefront game.
Starkiller Base has turned into bumper cars the last few days. I feel like this is nonsense.

Complete bullshit to be honest, at least it shouldn't be an instant kill if you're a hero
Yes the speeder thing sucks. As for Starkiller base, if you have the enhanced sentry it cuts through those levitating transport things like a chainsaw. You can easily cut through two of them at a time before cooldown. One match I basically made it my job to negate those things and got 10 kills just from focusing on vehicles.
Yeah I'm not impressed with the improved officer turret. Will have to check out the squad shield
The ion turret, on the other hand....

Supercharged Sentry?
My anti-vehicle loadout on Starkiller has been Ion Torpedo and Turret - it is not cutting the mustard. Might try the next time
Yes sir. You can also completely remove the clone dropships out of the equation with it.
Hope not, the point of all the free dlc updates is to not split up the player base.
Is anyone else getting texture pop ins/LOD issues (PC)? I have everything on Ultra yet tree bark looks kind of garbage from a distance and noticeably pops in detail as I get closer, for example. Is there a config file or something that can control this detail to improve it?

It wouldn't split the player base tho. Everyone has access to it. A unique TLJ playlist would be the same as adding a new mode... Are you saying they should never add any new modes to the game because it would split the player base?
You know what really grinds my gears? Why does that ion turret AND the ion rocket both prioritize targets that are invulnerable?
Many times now I have laid down the ion turret or fired the rocket, intentionally aiming at smaller targets like ATST or the droid tanks, and the game only wants to see the MTT and ATATs as valid targets. Even when invincible.
I've even had my ion turret become completely obsessed with the ATATs on Hoth while in the hangar phase. All kinds of valid targets, but nope! Pew pew pew! Die invulnerable and irrelevant target, die!
Why do you get points for dying on some maps and some maps you don't get points for dying?
Yea it's true lol. It has great range but they'll single out those invulnerable targets first.

Any price that's below half of the normal cost is worth it in my opinion.
Yeah. Seriously.
But my friends were all like "cant believe you support this. And its a failure".
I just lold. Im like. I am a big fan of Star Ward and I want to play Battlefront dammit.
Thanks!
Same. I paid $35 for the Deluxe edition (PS4 digital) and I'm happy. Fun game.
Han Solo - his detonite charge is very useful in clearing out packed rooms, and his normal blaster is pretty powerful. It's funny since I couldn't stand playing with him in the last game.
Here's something about air combat in GA maps. If you manage to dominate the sky, or be the first to get a star fighter in, on some maps like Takunda, you can intercept star fighters coming into the fight.
Either A.I or enemy players, they have to go through this short cut scene of them flying and they can't fire back. I spawn killed like 8 people this way just now.
