Re: Star Wars Battlefront II... it's happening, not that you ever doubted it

Feel like I'm getting the hang of the multiplayer. I'm not good, but I'm getting better. Less running and running and more strategy.

It would help to get to know the maps better, though I don't see a way to choose a particular map or team, really. Hard to get to know it. After such complex server systems in Battlefield lately, it's as if this system is too oversimplified.

Do hits in different places matter? There's no one-shot headshot kills here, correct? Does it drain life faster?

story, I don't think it matters where you hit the opponent - which is a crock. I've hit opponents for over "200 damage" and they didn't die --- which is a total pain when you're going for 500 Specialist kills. Loving the MP but until you play "smart", it can be very frustrating.

I haven't earned any credits for my last four matches. What gives?!

I have heard about that and I experienced the issue with not being able to claim rewards when completeing milestones; that made me stop playing the game altogether until I hear it is fixed.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II... it's happening, not that you ever doubted it

Yeah, it happens. I had persevered and achieved 400 kills as a specialist to get the top sniper rifle... only to not be able to claim it for almost two weeks. Something happened and it was available early last week --- as well as some sort of "apology" crate from the devs (4000 credits and other useless/duplicate shit). I hear another patch is coming Tuesday next week... big changes to all the Heroes and Villains as well as gameplay fixes. Not sure it matters... I play from time to time but it's a grind to get the "best" guns.

Rumor: Ubisoft / Activision potentially getting future SW work

Lol, EA really fucked themselves with their bullshit schemes (not that Ubi/Acti is much better when it comes to that shit).

Hasn't Respawn been working on a SW game for some time now? Since they are now owned by EA, that would suck if they lost that. Titanfall 2 was fucking awesome.

I'm probably the only person playing here but new patch today... fixes a lot of bugs, fixes the Heroes and Villains, adds a jetpack game mode among other things.

Picked this up for $30 from Target on Sunday. Pretty fun game despite the controversy. I’ve only been playing the campaign so far. Might dive into multiplayer later. One complaint, the load times are horrendous (I’m playing it on One so not sure if it’s all versions). Seems like when you first boot up the game it takes it a while to get going and gets a bit better as you go but it’s still fairly slow. Also needed an 18GB update right off the bat which was pretty annoying.

Load times are the worst part of the game... It's fine for what it is, but not stellar by any means. Han Solo content is right around the corner so that might bring me back for a week or two. I need to finish the SP campaign... it's not half bad.

Yeah, I haven’t played it a ton yet but it is fun so far. I just got to the third mission where you play as Luke. I didn’t know it was going to change like that and figured I’d just be that Imperial girl (can’t recall her name) the entire time.

I was real hot and heavy with this when it first came out. Bought it twice at retail price back then. I only played maybe half of the single player, but went nuts for multiplayer.

I haven't really played it since they dropped the last environment and heroes. Maybe with Solo coming out they'll add some new content, but if it's just a reskin of the Han and Lando heros, then I'll pass. But if they added a new environment for conquest (or whatever the big one is), I'd jump back in for a minute.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II... it's happening, not that you ever doubted it

My son started playing this. He can't get online with friends though. He keeps getting error message 524. From what I read it is because his live account is a sub account of mine and he is not 13. What the fuck is this shit? I should have control of what he can and cannot play, not EA. Basically holding this game hostage. Anyone figure out way to fix this? I changed his age in his account to see if that would but nothing yet.
EA chat support from India was less than helpful.

Does anyone know if the Celebration Edition is getting a physical release or just a download upgrade?

are these Battlefront games multi-player only or is there a single player campaign on I & II? I'm looking at the Collection with both, but only as single player. thanks.

They are large scale multiplayer games. If they have single player content, it's not the focus.

Also, the Collection that just came out is apparently filled with bugs and server issues right now. For PC at least. FYI if you end up buying it.

my friend swears there is a healthy single player campaign. he might be getting his games confused, but he said it was the one that came out today and that you can pick a planet and conquer it and gain troops and stuff. Does that sound like these games in the new collection of ! & II?

They had 10,000 on Steam yesterday and there were exactly 3 games of 64 players, so 9,800 were SOL last night.
