I think if you get 3 cards you don't have to level 1 then that would make you level 10.
Spend the crafting materials in the class you plan on maining (if any). It'll level it up quicker and you'll be blocked from crafting more after a while (until you reach a certain level) anyway, so you may as well spend them there.
I wonder how long it will take until they change the progression... you get credit super slowly and have no ways of getting lootboxes without them. It could take a few hours just for a single one.
its getting insufferable to unlock anything now. Hurry up and do something, dice

I kinda disagree.
I would say look at all the cards and plan out what ones you're going to use for your build. Only spend crafting parts to level those cards. If you're not high enough level to equip them DONT spend crafting parts, just do challenges that say they give crates and those crates will give you cards to get you the level you need.
Crafting parts are so hard to come by you should only use them to level the cards you're actually going to use.
I should specify: Spend them only where necessary to get your class level high enough to use as many cards as you can simultaneously. After that, save everything. I play almost exclusively starfighter assault, so there's less star cards to work with overall which is why I've found more success getting zealous with the leveling all the abilities. I wasn't getting anything for my bomber by box, but through some smart spending, I've got fully carded out bomber with uncommon or higher abilities at rank 11 overall.
Actually won my first multiplayer game via galactic assault.
Spent all of BF1 in FPS, and now doing BF2 in 3rd person. Feels dirty.

The Starkiller base blast map has some of the worst spawns I've ever encountered in a DICE game, and that's saying something.
You spawn within 10 feet of the opposing team, and many times you can literally see the opponent spawn after spawning in yourself.
I think that map is way to small for 10v10.

I am really finding the campaign to be fun. Not sure why it got so much hate. It's predictable but its visually amazing and I find the combat to be challenging mostly.
My only complain with it is that I keep getting this weird strobe effect during some cutscenes. Not sure if this is due to the game or has something to do with 4k HDR being enabled.....either way it's annoying.

I miss partner spawns and the more generous autoaim of the first game. Maps were better in the first one especially the DLC.
ea just jacking up star wars since they got the license. I hope somone else gets it after the 10 year mark.
Most people seem to like the new point system, but I think the old pickup system was a lot better. At least it gave everyone an opportunity to get something. It only needed to be tweaked so that they didn't spawn in the exact same locations for people to camp.
I agree. Something that keeps it fun for players who aren't good at games like me. All the changes made this game more hardcore. There is enough hardcore shooters. Can we have one that is fun for casuals?
I don't know how. Every time I pick that mode it's always waiting for 4 or 5 players.
No, it's worse. Class system replacing a more open ended custom class system has ruined this game. It's trying to be too much like Battlefield when it should be trying to have its own identity, which the first game did.
Glad you are getting your moneys worth Dude but Im not finding it fun at all. At least my son is digging it or Id say it was a complete waste of money. But honestly its the worst mp game in recent memory and a huge step in the wrong direction from the first game. Im not sure I will spend much more time with it other than splitscreen arcade with my boy.

So your level does absolutely nothing? At least give us a loot box for each level like Overwatch.
I'd have to give that nod to ww2, that game is absolute gutter trash. It really is, such poor quality all around
Hah I was actually considering ww2 since bf2 has been such a bust for me. Who knows. Maybe I should just save my money and go play Overwatch some more.
It gives you a chunk of credits, can't remember how much but I think someone posted a list way back in this thread. Enough for a (hero) loot box I believe.
Nothing is ruined, and even if it were classes wouldn't be why. The gameplay has recieved tons of positive attention and isn't why most people are upset.
I'd totally rent that first, it's so bad man.
And man guys I'm starting to get the hang of specialist, damn...
My point is that the first game was better, regardless of the "praise" the gameplay gets from the people who just wanted a Battlefield reskin. I'm glad this game is getting crucified, basically. They had it right in 2015. That game was actually fun to play. All they needed to do was update the graphics, animations, add a story, new/modified cards, new maps/modes, and keep everything else the same.
You do realize that the original Battlefront games were class based right?

I like the class system but I agree that the gunplay was perfect in the 2015 game. This game is a weird hybrid of the 2015 game and Battlefield 1 and it suffers for it.
Yes, I played them both a lot back in the day. They were both basically mods of Battlefield. That's how they started. The 2015 reboot had its own identity, that's my point. It didn't try to be Battlefield. The class system doesn't need to be in the game. It only limits me. Instead of creating my own class with star cards and choosing any blaster I want, I am now limited by what each class can equip.
I feel like I'm a lot better at this game than BF2015 (and I wasn't bad at that one either).
And I think I enjoy the gunplay a lot more, but its hard to tell if its the actual gunplay or just the lack of everyone having jetpacks and all the other gimmicky stuff BF2015 had early on.
Been playing Assault exclusively tho.

And if they were gonna be like battlefield, at least let us level up the class through usage and not star cards.
Having fun, but yeah the progression system is balls. Honestly the Star Card upgrades seem largely meaningless so far (especially the first slot, got one that gave me a 3% damage increase) so I'm just gonna save my credits up for characters for now. Really like the points system for heroes and vehicles within matches. Reminds me of how it worked in the Homefront MP (pretty sure no one else remembers that game lol) and it always felt more fair to me than killstreaks like in COD, since it persists across deaths.

They're clearly confused as to what they wanna be. Their own identity, or Battlefield... they're in between and don't know what the hell to do.
I don't get why devs just can't let different series be their own thing, my god... It's so annoying. Just let battlefront be it's own thing with its own feel
Played the multiplayer first and I kind of prefer the first game's.
But I'm loving this campaign way more than I thought I would. It's gotta be the first good Star Wars campaign I've played in over ten years and I can easily see myself replaying it a few times. Fun, cinematic, serviceable story, just after ROTJ, includes OT characters, and looks incredible. It reminds me of some of the classic LucasArts games. It's a dream game.

Something something baby's first shooter no depth etc etc.
Yeah I'm still kind of struggling with the new gunplay. When I went back to BF2015 earlier this afternoon I was performing MUCH better than I am in this game, just isolated to gun battles, nothing to do with map knowledge/positioning. Can't quite put my finger on why; I doubt people playing BF2 are SUPER drastically better enough to account for easily going positive KDR in blast every match on the old game, and struggling to go 1:2 ratio tonight in this one. I don't get it. The kill time for this game is seriously twice as much. Part of it is probably the hipfire penalty that didn't exist in BF2015. Argh. The game is fun but I'm starting to get frustrated. Haven't put in a ton of hours yet, but while I've never been elite at any shooter, I've seriously never been this bad at any shooter ever (albeit small sample size here); first night was somehow much better than the last two.
