Re: Star Wars Battlefront II... it's happening, not that you ever doubted it
I want this game, but seeing such mediocre reviews and EA once again trying to screw over the public, i am gonna wait until they release the inevitable collected edition. These days i know that if its EA or Capcom that waiting is the best option. Greedy twats need to start releasing completed games out of the gate and not trying to pull fast one.

Same here. PSN Name is Bandit03
The new map looks awesome. I haven't even touched the SP yet but I'll probably dive into that this weekend.

I've kind of put this one aside for the time being, but I'm not close to being done with it. If anything, I'm looking to buy it again digitally because I'm switching between games so much these days and don't feel like changing discs.
I could see myself playing this for a really long time.

I'm still playing and enjoying this more and more. The multiplayer really is strong on a lot of the maps and if you get a halfway decent team, it's a blast. I've gotten decent enough to where I get enough points to use a hero about 1/2 of the games and have started getting the hang of playing with them, which adds a lot of fun. I had a match last night where I was able to choose Luke right as the Empire had holed up in a room on their last objective and were about to take it. Maul and Vader were both in there with 8 or 9 other players. Someone else on my team had Yoda at the same time and the two of us ran in, took out everyone and led a charge pushing their team back and winning the game. Little moments like that are a real blast.
As for the unlocks, the game throws enough currency at you to keep progression from being too much of a grind. A tip for those playing, you can do 15 of the arcade challenges per day and get 100 credits for each. While the load times for them suck, some of them are pretty quick to do and you still get the credits even if you fail. I've started making sure I do the max number before jumping into multiplayer and I've unlocked all of the heroes, bought a handful of hero crates and am sitting on 12,000.

I played on the new map last night and loved every second of it. I thought it would be a mess with all the flat area but it was made really well

Played 3 MP matches last night and didn't get to experience the new maps at all
FWIW, if you play 5 rounds of Galactic Assault, you get 1000 credits -- easy-peasy.

Have they upped the amount of crafting parts you get for rewards/daily login? It's been a bit since I last played, and I only remember getting 5/day and whatever you might get in a crate.

And if you guys "picked a side", there were 5 or 6 crates handed out yesterday too... tons of crafting parts, credits, upgrades, etc.

Got a great crate from the First Order "winning" which included one purple for Fett. Is that going to be a weekly thing? I was under the impression we wouldn't see anything until the end of the season so I was pleasantly surprised last night when I opened that up

Well, if I was going to get it I wanted it digital, so is this worth the 35 bucks (I assume the 47 dollar Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition is just DLC stuff that I can do without, right?)

Has anyone playing been having issues this week? I've had multiple matches where the game starts stuttering and then freezes me in place. Also, about the half the time I quit out to the main menu after a match, I just get an endless loading screen and eventually have to force quit and restart. Then, last night, I completed two challenges that should've yielded crates, but got nothing. They show as completed in the careers page and say I can claim them, but the game won't let me. I'm wondering if maybe recent sales have flooded it with new players and EA is struggling to keep up with the load? It may be time to take a break for a while.

I'm still having a blast with the game but I would absolutely love if they speed up those loading times. Changing modes takes forever.

Yeah, I was rubber banding all night.
Also, has anyone been on a winning battle droids team or witnessed one? Because I haven't. Maybe something about their objectives are unbalanced but it's never even close, every single time.
Anyone trying the "Just get Hero Crates" theory from youtube?

I haven't seen the youtube video, but if the 'just get hero crates' theory is self-explanatory, then that's what I've been doing since unlocking all of the heroes. Whenever by credit balance tips over 10,000, I buy a hero crate. It seems to offer a nice balance of cards across everything.

Anyone play the 10 hr trial on EA Access on Xbox? Is it 10 total play hours or 10 hrs from the time you start to play?
Thanks

It's 10 hours of the game running, so make sure you quit out of the game if you are not playing it.

Ended up getting this as a Xmas gift and the campaign is pretty fun so far. Haven’t played MP, plan it once the campaign is done
