HvV matches are getting way more drawn out than they used to, that's for sure.
I usually play two rounds, but I already get exhausted after just one.

Give us a Death Star SA map!...I mean they kinda have to right? The one in BF2015 was pretty cool but the crappy way combat played out with the lock on made it not as good as it should have been.
I would love for some more experimental game modes as well. Why not recreate the Falcon in the asteroid field? 3 players in the falcon: 2 gunners and a pilot, and a squad of tie fighters in pursuit. The Falcon has to survive until they reach a certain point where they enter the cave.
afaik the game doesn't function well with any controller. at the least, you can map control functions to the controller and fire your weapons but more advanced options require either button combos or a keyboard. just too many things that you could do with your ship in that game that didnt make it feasible to use with the limited scope of a controller. :/
here's the best guide that i could find to help with using a 360/xbone controller with XvT: https://www.savingcontent.com/2014/...b1-playstation-ps4-controller-flight-stick/8/
So I just started playing this. Got 50 kills using the assault class( have 62 at this posting). And the new gun won't unlock. I know you have to claim rewards but when I do that it's still unavailable to select. Very irritated. Any solutions? Tried reloading and no go. Playing on PS4
There seems to be an amount of server delay with rewards unlocking. Try playing another match to see if it unlocks it. I get this all the time with the daily crates and have had it happen with weapon unlocks as well.
So, I'd been running into a lot of strafing bunnyhoppers on PS4 recently. Didn't think much of it at the time because I used to use bumper jump in the original Titanfall, and still use it for Lucio and Genji in Overwatch.
Turns out that the Battlefront controls run on DICE's presets and can't be configured in the PS4 menus. I guess those strafing bunnyhoppers are actually M+K users, haha.

Nothing yet.
The community manager said he will create a new thread with answers at some point.
A day later and I still have no access to the guns. This game is going to be an instant drop. The starting guns I can use are horrible. So disappointed with this game.
I literally fucking can't with the Emperor shit. E V E R Y lobby now there is a dude getting 100+ eliminations with him. I'm idling out the rest of a game right now where as the defenders on Yavin we had them down to 5 tickets in the first phase and a player spawned in as him with all Epic cards. Without the slightest bit of exaggeration this SINGLE PLAYER took them from being 5 tickets away to getting wiped on the first phase through all the way to completing all of the objectives. A SINGLE FUCKING CHARACTER. I was Chewbacca THREE times and I couldn't even touch the guy. I'm literally shaking I'm so angry. This shit is fucking broken. And I've done the EXACT same thing this guy is doing right now. This single moment in time is maybe the angriest I have ever been in a multiplayer game.
Edit:
I didn't touch my controller after the 3rd time I died as Chewbacca about halfway through the 3rd phase until the match ended and I still got first on my team. On map change surprise surprise the top 3 players on their team were still all on the same team and obviously in a party. As a solo player seriously fuck this, by all appearances the game is trying to match me against players of similar rank/skill level but it's not accounting for parties so I'm constantly having this exact same problem. I probably play this like 20-30 hours a week and this is consistently my experience. Like I'm still going 25-2 or whatever most games, but I literally cannot get wins unless I load into a winning team, then on map change it just rebalances and then I continue to get fucked because the game says "hey you're good we're gonna split you up" but there's only one or two of us and like 4 other dudes in a party. Constantly this is my experience.
I'm literally redownloading BF2015 right now. At least I know where I stand with that game and it's problems.

May I ask why you went with the same hero 3 times?
Generally speaking Chewbacca is by far the best (only?) hard counter to the Emperor as if you can land a Shock Grenade or Ground Slam on the Emperor and stop him from moving/killing you for about 2 seconds Chewie can melt him. Highly skilled Emperors can usually avoid and get clear of that though which is what happened here, especially since that's a more open map. Indoors you have a different problem where it's easier for Chewbacca to stun or knock him down, BUT the Emperor can attack through walls.
Also there appears to be more players on the XB1 version of BF2015 than PS4 which seems crazy, I don't know that I ever saw that happen for the lifespan of that game prior to BF2's launch.
Remember when I was the angriest person posting in this thread
I think I was just ahead of the curve :P
I did hop on for a match today just to see if the patch improved anything appreciably.
First match we roll over the initial objective fine but then get completely stonewalled as soon as someone on the other team calls in The Senate. I turn to the side and watch Luke Skywalker on our team struggling to kill a single trooper rolling through all of his strikes.
Back to Division / Battlefield til that gets sorted.

Sort of funny but ive seen many emperor players with 100+ kills go to next round and play the rebels or resistance or clones and they simply leave or suck playing, meanwhile another player on my team gets to destroy everyone with the emperor.
Wtf was dice thinking and how come they havent hot fixed this shit.

I do believe Palp is the biggest issue with the game as it stands now. There are other things but the Palp thing is so overwhelmingly troublesome, every other issue falls by the wayside.
I remember being one of the first people in this thread to brag about how good Palp was before people had even unlocked him yet. No one had played him and knew how to play as him.
I had no idea it would eventually turn into this though

Honestly after playing BF2015 a bit I think I really prefer a lot of things in it over BF2. If it didn't have the token/pickup system (which is super dumb) I'd honestly probably prefer it overall to BF2.
They also really need to make emoting more prevalent again like it was in BF2015. There's no pre-game timer for everyone on the team to emote, and with the delay/camera on killcams I can't be nearly as big an asshole in BF2 as I can in BF2015. I have virtually all of the emotes in BF2 but never ever use them, it sucks.

Your typical Palpatine douche:
I also miss the emote spam. Regardless of class, at the start of every round i like to make sure my team knows "He doesn't like you", or "You were the Chosen One!"
- Spawn as Officer and cheese points through a combination of Command, Bounty Hunter and Officer's Presence.
- If you die early and vehicles are available, go AT-ST/AAT for super cheese mode.
- Spawn as Palpatine and go to town.
- Rinse and repeat until you're out of points or you've won.

Yeah, this is actually one of my biggest issues so far combined with the fact there are no customization options yet for the troops. It just sucks out the charm and collective spirit that made the first game -- and Star Wars in general -- enjoyable as a whole. The game is fun gameplay-wise, but it honestly doesn't feel as fun as it can be.
Gotta admit: when this game has highs, they are high.
Managed to protect the very last objective as Rebels from a fully reinforced Empire on Yavin. Great teamplay during a game I was almost certain we were going to lose after getting mopped throughout the previous phases. Every trooper had their feet firmly planted surrounding the marker and best of all: all our heroes made sure to chase Palpatine out of the room before he could do jack shit.

I'd almost rather have a lack of visible pre-game emote spam than deal with the old jump pack n' bacta bomb bodyguard w/ ee3/4 who laughs or tusken raider cheers after every single kill.
And the only thing worst than the Senate is when his party chat buddies are holding the high ground with him as Vader and Bossk. TBF though, Bossk just has a very good kit and Vader is stuck with a glow stick.
Everything is just garbage right now. I've been hopping on just for my daily crafting parts and whatever challenges that aren't tedious. Watch parts and credits become even more useless come March.

It's interesting, the only mode I really get salty at losing is HvV. All the other modes I just play for the hell of it and generally have a good time regardless.

I'm in the same boat as a lot of you guys now, just waiting for balance patches so the game is more enjoyable again. The perfect game for me would be BF2015 and 2 combined. The great gun selection/variety, hero force powers, maps and customization from the first, but with the class system and more balanced star cards from the second.
A man can dream eh?
A man can dream eh?
I feel the same, it's always just for fun and I don't take it too seriously. I think that's one of the strengths of Battlefront, I can have a good time regardless if I die or lose the game.
I do feel evil for taking an X-wing in Hoth and just shooting down ground troops like they're fish in a barrel.
Yeah, even though I complain a lot about balance and I might get salty about a specific match or encounter I don't typically get actually mad at the game; last night was maybe the first time in years I've gotten truly and actually angry about a game like that. Generally speaking the highs and lows swing pretty wide in this game (much more than the last game), but it's not usually that bad lol. It's weird in my case because I still usually do very well individually even when we get dumped on by premade groups or whatever, but I play for the actual objective and to win, and not for my K/D (which is why it was only 1.70ish in the last game) so it's extra infuriating to me when we lose because of totally broken balance.
Speaking of balance I did a game of Blast this morning for the daily challenge (5 kills as a Special unit) and maaaaan I cannot believe how much better Wookies still are than every other Special unit. Like none of the others may as well even exist. I still managed to get 5 kills in one go as a Flametrooper, but that's mostly because people are terrible and not because they're any good.
Desperately hoping for any sort of balance news/update. I've got all of the Milestones done except for a handful of the really fucked SA ones (25 hero ship kills with Maul etc), and I'm a couple of Rare to Epic upgrades away from having all of the Epic cards I'm going to want or need for the foreseeable future. I'm not touching going for Epic cards on any heroes because I expect all sorts of changes there, but I will get my last couple Armor/Starfighter cards up since I don't know they're going to do anything there.

Dropped the game for over a month and finally came back. Still as fun as ever and Strike continues to be my favorite mode.
need to buff Death Troopers. LOL.
I can't be a Death Trooper when Wookies do a better job than the source name
My new rule is after the daily challenge I play GA until I hit a game where an Emperor on the other team single handedly carries his team to victory and/or gets 100+ eliminations. I call this TTE (time to emperor). Longest I've been able to go without a TTE is 3 games.
Once I get this last Fighter card to Epic I'm going back to BF2015 once I hit TTE. This shit is beyond broken and by itself deserved a hotfix weeks ago.

It's a combination of him getting buffed in the first patch ( L O L ) but mostly just more people figuring/finding out about him, getting good with him and decking him out card-wise. It used to be a once in a blue moon/"that's crazy!" kind of thing, but over the last 4-6 weeks or so it's been getting increasingly worse, and it's been an almost every game thing for me as of the last 2 weeks or so. I wouldn't consider myself that great with him, but even on "bad" runs I'm usually getting at least 50 kills with him and that's running with just Uncommon cards (I'm not touching upgrading him since I know he's gonna get nerfed....eventually).
I'll probably finish all of the Milestones this weekend other than the 25 Savior kills with Tallie (which is mostly an issue due to the game being highly inconsistent with what it considers a savior kill) and the 25 Hero ship kills with Maul's ship.....which is by a country mile the most borked Milestone in the game. Even as someone who completed the diorama in BF2015 which was on another level of fucked for most games I'm not even touching the Maul ship one, I'm just gonna have to tap out at 99% Milestone completion.

Do we know what this game does at a PS4 Pro? I can't for the life of me remember if it runs at a resolution higher than 1080p or what.

Hi, could someone tell me which model number is the PS4 Pro that comes with the Battlefield II Bundle ?
I have heard that the latest model is quiet and it might be the HW revision i have been waiting in order to jump to the PS4 Pro ship.
Finally, could someone tell me if the microtransactions issues in the game got solved ? Patched ?
------------------
Found that info from the pics of the bundle. It seems they come with the new HW revision. Finally into the PS4 Pro ship :)

The micro stuttering happens on consoles too. It was there on the X even in campaign. On Pro, it only happens to me during Galactic Assault. Really hope that's fixed soon.
I cant disprove it runs at 1440p but after the december patch the visuals on PS4Pro got a major improvement. Original testing like DF's tests were before this patch. I'm sure the image looks cleaner and sharper than any other 1440p game I have on the Pro. It looks very very similiar to Battlefield 1 on Pro which is something like 1620p or 1800p checkerboard (I think). Would love to know if it did get an upgrade as pre-december patch the image quality was a bit messy; now its great.
As I understand it, getting a quiet pro is a game of chance due to sony using multiple manufacturers for the fan. Hopefully that's changed, because mine is incredibly loud.
