Star Wars Gaming Megathread Episode IV - A New Update - Games

I honestly want to give this a shot. The new Geonosis map was okay but something like this could give us the next best thing since the OG BFII and make more maps out of it in the future. Since The Clone Wars series is canon, imagine some of those awesome new planets for maps like Christophsis, Coruscant, and Dathomir.

The AAT in that image appears to have the Blue CIS markings. The Gamemode CT did mention we would see the blue markings in that game mode.

I hope so, my mod list is already huge and takes a while to apply so I'll take any chance to cut a mod.

yeah really looks like it https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/108621/95d65a64-bbd6-44c0-9d5e-4d1feed6b18b/image.png

There are references to clone commandos and their DC17m in the patch files. No models, just abilities

Wow, Capital Supremacy is FUCKING AMAZING. Like seriously aside from the jarring pauses between phases, this shit is what BF2 should have launched with.

Hi hello I work at DICE. It was a bit nerve wracking to wait for the player reaction to Capital Supremacy after the initial thoughts to the CT. We watched some streams and it was really fun to see what players thought. I've been watching a lot of the 3D clone wars show lately and it hyped me up for this mode.

Clone commandos when?

If Ben/F8RGE can't answer it I definitely couldn't tell you. IIRC the reason we can't say much at all is because of SEC/financial reasons, something about being a publicly traded company and fiscal year. It sounded a little complicated when it got told to me so I'm pretty sure I can't do it justice. I actually don't really look at the CTs most of the time, more focused on the day to day QA bits. Random fun fact example of stuff I sometimes do; originally the command posts themselves didn't change colours with who owned it. It was only the projection with the Republic or Separatist logo that did. It did look good already but I thought it would be cool, so I had a chat with the people in charge of it and it ended up being a feature. I'm pretty sure all of you are way better at the game than me, I never do well in our HvV games. Though to be fair I was on Battlefield V almost until the end of last year.

According to Dennis, the Clone Wars season was originally meant to be out before Solo, but the whole launch fiasco pushed it back https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/b5j4c5/battlefront_ii_is_far_from_done/ejekl7k/

Though to be fair I was on Battlefield V almost until the end of last year so I'm still getting used to things. Just like me. I jumped today to play some Supremacy and I was suprised how much basic features are missing. My main problem is that I can't enlarge minimap scale (you know, 50/75/90 meters) or tell squadmates on which control point we should focus to attack.

so now they have the arc trooper which has dual wielded pistols, how long until we get jango fett?

Can you choose which maps you play on in bf2 ea mp or is it still matchmade randomness? Secondly has singleplayer been improved on at all?

I think I would've preferred a longer sandbox ground battle over the phases, with them its a super long mode

There are more maps coming, they're just not allowed to say that for some reason.

The battlefield doesn't have to go thru Lucas to confirm literally everything. The approval process has to go thru EA and Lucas which is why things are a lot slower. Considering what DICE is doing is actively making new additions to the official lore, Lucas has to check everything off.

There are some QoL things that are being discussed and could be changed and improved for sure, I would also like some way to communicate where to go. We've got a close co-operation with Lucas and sometimes the timezone differences and approval process does make things take longer. The battlefield team also can't say just whatever, but yeah they don't have the same process. They're also a much bigger team. CM's would say more if they could, I'm sure.

Always fun to hear from devs on the game. I'm doing QA at a different studio in Stockholm (though my contract is about to expire) and there are a bunch of former Dice employees working here now. It was great to hear in person what the experience was like to see the public reception slowly change as the game started to improve.

new gaemmode is the most fun ive had in awhile

Roadmap updated slightly. 3 more Capital Supremacy maps coming, one in April, May and June. No info on what planet they are other than being Clone Wars Era. Also Heroes Vs. Villians is getting a core mechanics revamp in May. The Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II Roadmap

I'm hoping for Theed Streets. Other two locations will probably be very similar to Kashyyyk and Kamino.

IIRC someone from DICE has mentioned wanting to have CS on Naboo at some point before so I'd say that's the most likely choice.

Well there are only 3 other prequel ground maps. Naboo, Kashyyyk and Kamino.

I know. But it won't be kachiro beach and the current kamino. I don't mind different locations but theed streets is a must
