I've never really played any of the Battlefield games other than that one XBLA one (1942?) and a little bit of Bad Company 2. It's interesting seeing how polarized people's reactions are to a lot of the details coming out of the reveal. I might check it out but I'm really actively turned off by any pre-modern setting so it's probably not going to be for me at all regardless of it's quality.
I don't think that was the intention going in, but EA most definitely took away some things from the BF2 debacle. Which is probably (?) for the best for that game, at the cost of this one :(
This is what continues to baffle me about how they've handled BF2 post-launch. I was so sure that they were going to throw everything at BF2 both to make sure to keep the license, and I also thought that it would make more financial sense for them to throw resources at it to turn it around for positive word of mouth and ultimately more money. Games have recovered from abysmal launches (R6, D3, etc), but they completely didn't do that here. I still stand by my statement it would have made more financial sense for them to turn things around, but I'm guessing this was a management fuckup?
It's super depressing. I've gone back to BF2015 lol. Long-term I'll probably still grind out all of the milestones (I only have the new score-based ones they added not done) because I'm OCD and feel compelled to because I've already come this far and I did the equivalent in BF2015, but yeah. The leaks to this point being accurate suggests nothing super meaningful is coming with Solo part 2 next month, and I can't say I have any confidence in whatever they deliver for season 3. We're 7ish months out and still no stats, squad spawns, notable glitches since launch not fixed, a ton of other things and the content pipeline looks bleak. This game was SO promising.
On a related note they're going to eat an incredible amount of shit at this EA Play after that one suit showed the trailer last year about how much more content BF2 had over BF2015 and they listened etc. In hindsight that's gotta be one of the worst fuckups lol.
What's the population like on PC?Completely agree and I've found myself actually going back to BF2015 too,lol

BF2 is straight garbage at this point. Literally *cannot* find a balanced GA match. Only reason I'm even trying is I have no other shooter that's even remotely interesting to play at the moment. The drought of games is keeping this turd on my SDD lmao
Don't know about PC, but tried it on PS4 and Xbox today and had no problem finding any matches :)
As I've said before, there is a good chunk of maps from this game and the 2015 game that could work well for Conquest with minor modifications.
Mos Eisley, Kamino, Death Star II, Kashyyyk, Yavin IV, Administrator's Palace, Biopic Labs, Scarif, Outpost Beta, Judland Wastes, etc.

I've very rarely played GA but it finally clicked and I'm actually having fun with it now. How close was this match?
Ah I remember this game's promises. "Change will be a constant" they said. Season 2 coming soon! (back in january, mind you). We're now 6/7 months in and there's been barely any content of worth.
Makes me shudder for how they will handle BFV.
There's also no way they're going to do their own baby dirty either.
That would make sense, but I'm still not expecting a (redacted) skin.I guess Lando, Han, Chewie and
Maul
Are getting new skins?
That last one explains the need to release the content in June, to avoid spoiling people
At the rate they're going, assault class will get instantly regenerating grenades at 5x normal damage for a couple months.Apparently tomorrow.
Curious to see what they break in the process.
I think Han will be getting two somebody found a text string for Han's Corellian appearance in the game files so it's probably what he wears at start of the film and the other one will be his brown jacket appearance.I guess Lando, Han, Chewie and
Maul

All we need now is a way to get hero emotes and we'll be golden -__-;Got my trophy + platinum and all hero emotes should work now. Nice that these finally got fixed.

I have one for Lando I got from a crate.I remember mulling over if I should spend crafting parts to level up and get an emote for Lando, but decided against it, as I thought it would be easily unlockable. :/

I am also terrible because I spam emotes on kills in HvV. I am scum :(
I love watching guys like you, then. I was playing against an all-epic carded Bossk the other day. Guy kept spamming emotes when he killed me. Half the time, he wasn't paying attention and would get pasted by one of my teammates while he was showboating.
I have maybe about 60% of the hero emotes from buying hundreds of thousands of crates pre-2.0 lol. I had all the trooper emotes which is why I haven't been really fussed about getting on for those challenges. That said I'm home today and the Fortnite weekly challenges got pushed to Thursday, so decided to play this game proper for the first time in a bit and try to knock out all of these Hero Showdown challenges that are all up at the same time. I actually got a competent teammate and we've just been rolling dudes for like 45 minutes, it's pretty great. I still stand by my statements that HvV/HS are garbage BUT with a good/competent team it's an alright time. The problem is that doesn't usually happen in these modes.
Honestly if they just added team rebalancing and squad spawns I'd be pretty happy at this point, some of the QoL updates have been pretty good.
Edit: haha, got off HS since I got the challenges done and that baller random sent me a friend request. You're not on right now are you Bauer? This guy was doing the most ridiculous shit as Lando I've seen. I think between the ~8 or so games we played together we died a total of like 4 times.
Finally hit 50 this morning to coincide with the hotfix.
Achievement stuck at 98%.
Welp.
I'd be cool with them jerryrigging an SA map out of Scarif, Bespin or Death Star 1 from BF1. Or GA Walker assault on Sullust or Scarif. Not really interested in anymore recycled small maps, especially from planets already in the game.
- Boba Fett's "For the Hunt" won't scan enemy troops. It rarely will. Fortunately though it's other functions do still work and are incredibly useful.
- Darth Vader's "Force Choke" - Vader can get stuck in the animation and / or enemies choked will jitter / fly about like crazy.
- Bossk's "Predator Instinct" - Whether or not the Heat Vision will work is 50/50. Due to the Blue thermal vision it makes it really difficult to see enemy players who aren't highlighted, giving them opportunity to sneak up on you and possibly killing you.
- Yoda's "Unleash" - most of the time this ability does work, however a lot of the times it will refuse to block for unknown reasons and you will take damage from the front. The actual push sometimes won't register damage or knock back enemies either, making it two separate things you have to look out for.
- Lando's Thermal Blaster - sometimes won't properly highlight enemy troopers, similar to Bossk - this one isn't as big of a deal but still an issue.
- Luke's "Push" and "Repulse" - while I personally have not experienced this, I've seen plenty of posts on this sub that indicate that these abilities do not work consistently.
- Darth Maul's "Saber Throw" - said many times before, the hitbox for Mauls throw is incredibly tight and unforgiving. Though this may be getting fixed in the hotfix tomorrow.
- Finn's "Undercover Team" and "Deadeye" - the problem with Undercover team is that sometimes rarely it won't highlight enemy players. Deadeye's issue is that it will sometimes target enemies that you do not want to target. Example being that if you're engaging in a close enemy, sometimes it will target the one behind him instead for no reason.
