Idk I feel like I had more fun with bf1? Maybe I just need a 24 man play list that is not strikes.
Also is it just me but on some maps do they intentionally spawn you facing the opposite direction of your objective hahaha. Me and whomever ends up in my squad will spawn, run forward and realize we had to turn around the moment we spawned to actually head in the right direction.

it's funny because infantry weapons actually do insane damage to starfighters and the second specialist sniper with the bolt speed upgrade is hitscan and easily destroy any starfighters. A single specialist with it can keep the skies clean.
Also the heavies ion torpedo + explosive sentry works great as anti air.
Had that happen today. First time for me, seems like a bug?
Noticed the same thing; I'm guessing it counts as an Elimination over just an assist if you either do the majority of the damage to the enemy, or at least some sort of % of damage dealt.
What's additionally confusing is the game counts Eliminations as part of your Killstreaks but not your kills. So post-game I could have an accolade for 26 kills, then another for a longest killstreak of 35. It's kind of dumb. Like, practically speaking it's whatever, but it's unnecessarily confusing and they could/hopefully will fix it just by changing some names.
Just tried Heroes vs Villains for the first time and we were winning 8-5 or so when suddenly there was no one on the other team, it was just the four of us wandering around the map lol I waited for like 5-10 minutes but no one joined the other team. I don't know if it was a bug or the 4 guys on the enemy side left at once, had to quit anyway
I am an A280 man for my assault class and am working on the barrel upgrade that increases bolt damage. I am curious to see if the results are similar.

Holy shit. Is sniping an issue in this game? If so, I may avoid buying it. There is nothing worse than maps infested with fucking snipers.Snipers were a mistake.
Probably just situational. It has not been an issue for me at all.
As a heavy I struggle taking down any air units, damaging them sure, but never being able to finish them off unless I have other people shooting with me. I'll definitely try that sniper with the bolt upgrade though, sounds like a good idea.
I am loving the game! I am dead serious too. The gameplay is fun and I have just about gotten enough crafting parts to get lvl 2 and lvl 3 grenade and like a few more cards i want. i got the Rey skin via pre ordering, I got Luke last night by spending 15k in game credits, and by today ive gotten 5k more credits. im pretty set. NOTHING feels limited. I cannot complain at all, I am waiting for the 4k to come in this week before I do the campaign which I heard was amazing! There are free maps and story DLC coming in December, Dqar and Crait planets / maps.
I guarantee you that Geonosis and Utepau will be in the game! by spring.
I love the game and how it was 47 bucks at bestbuy. Why are people really complaining? (I guess I do want more modes though, which should be remedied via DLC,, that is a complaint i guess). game looks and sounds beautiful

So I was playing the campaign and turned my xbox off. Wehn Ibcome back today the game is playing at Benny Hill speed and I can't get it to stop.
Edit: Now the game is unplayable and might need to loose my progress.

my issue with sniping is that it is not one shot kill like the first 2015 battlefront. i want a pulse rifle where i load it and charge and one shot kill. hopefully they add it in the future. ive gotten some nice headshots with this rifle in this game though.
What other planets do y'all think we'll see next year? I hope they support the game for awhile and bring plenty of new maps! I figure Bespin is a given since they already have assets they can use from the first game.
Dont know if its intentional, but Ive had it happen a number of times also.
Man, I royally suck at being a Specialist. The Assault class offers the best balance for me, but I am keen on giving Officer and Heavy a fair shake as well.
Nah, a lot off maps aren't even sniper friendly, despite their size.
For me it isn't an issue whatsoever. Battlefield 1 was way worse in that regard.
My current mindset is that I would rather get more Star Wars than not have it exist. I want a game to play during the Episode 8 movie release. I am a fan of the CGI shows personally so I imagine this little bit of story will be worth the few hours. I am not expecting Episode 8 or rogue one levels of story personally.
I think I will enjoy it.
my favorite class is the Heavy class, I love the power and range of that R1 L1 heavy machine gun attack. It feels so functional and satisfying, especially in choke points and narrow corridors when with teammates. giving suppressing fire with it feels great, getting into the battles myself though as a fan haha.
i think it has to do with the fact that the sniper scopes are closer ranged and dont go too far, im still on the first one so perhaps that will change later on. like on kashyyykon thge beach ,, i barely saw close things in scope. like the first games sniper does a lot better with the scopes.
I am extremely glad sniping isn't a one shot kill otherwise maps would just be completely dominated with snipers. This feels like the first major multiplayer shooter in a while where snipers don't have a massive advantage over everyone else and I love that.

I have a fear of any kind of vehicle when I'm a hero just because of the first game. Soon as I see one pop up, I'm out.
Are there any good anti tank options for any of the infantry classes? I feel like if there's a tank in front of me I'm basically screwed. No ion torpedo?
Buy all of your heroes before opening crates imo.
I also agree that the campaign started strong and then fizzled out. Overall Iden's missions we're better than the hero missions.
Not by default though. You have to craft/unlock the star card for it.
Yeah, immediately crafted it after getting destroyed on Naboo by every vehicle allowed.
Huh? I routinely get good kills with them. The flamethrower melts health off.
Yeah the sniper class is pretty balanced. The problem is everyone wanting to play as a sniper class.
I was trying to kill an officer and he killed me despite me spraying him forever. Maybe it was lag then.
People are complaining because:
A. The game had predatory and p2progress loot boxes that were only removed once EA and disney saw the community backlash.
B: The game made most heroes cost over 50,000 credits, making it take hundreds of hours to unlock most heroes. EA only changed this due to community backlash.
C. The campaign is disappointing and was most likely changed midway through development.
It was advertised as a campaign where you see through the eyes of a stormtrooper - but it really is only that for the first 3 missions out of 12. The story is also mostly nonsensical, and it seems more like blatant fan service. It also is only 4 hours long too.
D. EA stated that loot boxes will come out again in a way to affect progression - which can lead to more people buying loot boxes, becoming more powerful because they paid to progress.

I think their point was that despite all the complaining, in practice, the game is actually really fun to play. I tend to agree
Right now, the multiplayer is a blast to play! I just hope it doesn't get worse later on when EA puts progression based loot boxes back in.
Star Wars Explained did a pretty good video on the Easter Eggs and references to other canon material. Pretty good video:
And for the whole "fan service" talk. I don't what was really expected. We knew it wasn't going to a self contained unique story. We knew it was going to help bridge gaps, not be a self contained story, and follow things that have been mentioned before in canon.
And I don't think the story was changed half way through. I think it was really just misdirection. There not going to mention in the marketing that the main characters are going to defect. Mind you we should have gotten a couple of missions more as the Empire but oh well.

I thought eas words were they will bring back purchasing of crates after they've changed the game. I didn't read anything about it'll still affect progression unless something new was posted.
Citation needed. Given the amount of time they had to make it it's absolutely not lazy.
Also citation needed besides pointless speculation
because you believed the marketing at face value despite the fact that SW has always been about the perspective of turncoats and rebels. What about the story is nonsensical? It goes in line with the book about Inferno Squad in terms of the team's dynamic and other stories in the series in terms of how blatantly evil the empire is. It's rushed yes but certainly not nonsensical. It's also not really that dedicated to fanservice since they blatantly talked about how it's supposed to help bridge gaps in the timeline. And thus do a pretty good job at putting Inferno into notable conflicts.
Are you guys also finding that you perform extremely well in some maps but suck really hard in others? Like, I always got nice scores/eliminations in Naboo and Deathstar II playing Assault, but I'm so fucking useless in Hoth, I feel like a headless chicken running around and getting shot from everywhere
Sorry, it's not really lazy per se, just disappointing considering what they advertised and what we received. This reddit post should help to explain all my points - my citation, if you will.https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBa..._far_the_single_most/?st=JA6ZQOOX&sh=645d4694
