Star Wars Gaming Megathread Episode II - Attack of the Season Pass - Games

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52745864]Jedha is referenced in the game files [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/74901n/lots_of_new_info_hidden_in_the_alpha_files/?st=J8D7YD3W&sh=e1b7856f[/url][/QUOTE] Jedha would be really intense if they take advantage of the verticality of the city. I'd rather play that than Crait (Hoth 2.0). Is Crait the only planet being added in the TLJ update?

Ok what the fucking hell determines class level up? Not rank, the individual classes have levels. I'm playing the crap out of specialist and interceptor and they barely improve. Yet Officer is rank 7 and I don't play it at all. SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS FUCKING SYSTEM TO ME :hairpull:

[QUOTE=erkor;52745947]i captured some gameplay in the arcade if anyone's interested in how it plays [video=youtube;bMMY6KAEAko]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMMY6KAEAko[/video][/QUOTE] I think it'd be cool if you could do a custom battle where the clones were only officers, so it felt more like the Episode 1 assault on Theed. That being said, I'd also enjoy a Naboo Plains map where you have to take down the Gungan's and their shield generators, but I'm probably the only one who really enjoyed that mission from BF1 lol

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52745832]The DLT-19D is in the game. That’s the variant used by the death troopers [/QUOTE] Didn't we already know you could be a Death Trooper as one of the special units? I guess the question is can you use that blaster as a normal class.

Is there anyway to properly play in a squad with friends?

my college's wifi decided to shit itself for the third time this week in the middle of the day so while I was able to download it overnight I have no internet at all now and can't try out the beta or even work on assignments if I wanted glad my tuition is being used well, hope you're all enjoying the beta so far

So im grouped with a friend and it's open mic in the group chat? Even when I turn it to push to talk or have mic volume muted they can still hear me. Any fix for this? Kind of dumb.

[QUOTE=Wulfram;52746089]Didn't we already know you could be a Death Trooper as one of the special units? I guess the question is can you use that blaster as a normal class.[/QUOTE] We don't know what the Death Trooper will be armed with (my guess is the E-11D), but the DLT-19D is the First Order Specialist's primary weapon. It's actually pretty neat.

Managed to slam my TIE fighter into the shipyard trying to dodge enemy fire. Immediately heard an officer say "Have his flight instructor executed." 10/10

[t]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/224010389678063618/365222027528765460/Ihaveabadfeelingaboutthis.png[/t] Marked the important bit in red. Did a few more tests. Star Cards, whether acquired or upgraded, increase the rank of the class it's for. Which is why my Officer is now rank 10 even though I only played it once. I kept getting stuff from the lootboxes for it. So basically, Class Progression is tied to the StarCard system which is inherently tied to the lootboxes.

Well that doesn't sound remotely terrible, hopefully that's just a beta thing and it won't carry over, wishful thinking and all that.

[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;52746145]Is there anyway to properly play in a squad with friends?[/QUOTE] No, for some weird reason it's every time you repsawn you're in a new squad.

Apparently if you got the pre-ordered Beta on Origin you got a friend code? At least I think I read it was origin. [editline]4th October 2017[/editline] Apprently if you use EA support and say you didn't get a code, they'll send you one. But its instant, so it almost sounds like it is automated. [editline]4th October 2017[/editline] For anyone actually playing the beta, are the system requirements on the FAQ actually accurate? [url]https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/battlefront/battlefront-2/events/beta[/url] [editline]4th October 2017[/editline] Heroes vs Villains is 4v4, so I guess the Emperor's throne room could work.

So... is it actually fun?

[QUOTE=Zeos;52747158]So... is it actually fun?[/QUOTE] other than this horrible rubberbanding i've been getting (is that just me?) it's pretty great imo

[QUOTE=Zeos;52747158]So... is it actually fun?[/QUOTE] Pretty damn fun, hell the space fights are so much fucking better. My only real gripes are about reinforcements. BP Cost for stuff like Jump Troopers,Wookiees,SBDs, is literally too IMO. There's no reason you should be spending BP on anything but heroes unless two people already took them. They should be a lot lower so it enables a lot more of them to be deployed because they can be used as line breakers rather than meat shields for a rush. Reduce their cost to like 1 to 1.5k so people aren't making a massive investment if they want to use them. Hero BP cost is fine. 5k is reasonable as fuck. Anything else really isn't worth it at all. AT-RTs and AATs are both 3.5k and do horrid damage and really aren't that useful on Theed. Maybe other maps. Reduce their cost to 2k, these should be duking it out or leading spear heads to objectives, not sitting behind the lines because they can't go anywhere.

Did they improve the shooting? The first game's weapons felt all the same, and even then, not good

I managed to get a code. The default look speed is damn low, thats thje first thing you should adjust. Also FOV is an option, but it is locked? I can't find a way to change it at least. [editline]4th October 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeos;52747281]Did they improve the shooting? The first game's weapons felt all the same, and even then, not good[/QUOTE] I find the weapons feel different. [editline]4th October 2017[/editline] Ship combat is so much better I think the 'narrator/announcer' for Takodana is meant to be Leia. [editline]4th October 2017[/editline] [t]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/188015782716899328/365275310096384000/image.png[/t] [editline]4th October 2017[/editline] the ragdolls and animations are a lot better

It's a shame about Screen Space Reflections though doing this. [IMG]https://puu.sh/xQctc/3f0c7842c4.jpg[/IMG] Not sure if I've seen a technique that doesn't do this, there's probably something that I'm forgetting though.

They recreated some of the flags from the movie, even the 501st Banner [t]https://i.imgur.com/mbf1sLl.png[/t] [editline]4th October 2017[/editline] I took a bunch of pictures of Maz's Castle [URL]https://imgur.com/a/czZF4[/URL] This were taken on all High. Which is what the game defaulted me to.

ok beta got boring quick need new maps

I think you can ignore auto settings just like in all Frosbite games. I'm running smoothly on high/ultra 1080p with stable 60 fps. 1050 Ti 4GB/i5-7400. For example, in my case game has set everything on medium.

Peeking at the Reddit discussions for the beta, and I'm finding it incredibly amusing that apparently EA customer support's been gullible enough in the past few hours that [url="https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/749h13/how_it_feels_seeing_all_these_beta_gameplay_posts/dnwohz7/"]anyone claiming their beta keycode wasn't working (regardless if they had legitimately earned one) has been getting free codes, no questions asked.[/url] Not trying it myself (doubt my laptop can take this game, seriously considering going XBox One with the release), and spreading the word is probably going to make EA stopgap this leakage pretty quickly, but rather amusing nonetheless.

Can't for the life of me get their email thing to work, it just hangs on submit

[QUOTE=Drewsko;52747687]Battlefront II Beta[/QUOTE] Thought to myself "This isn't going to work." [I]It fucking worked.[/I]

Does anyone got a spare beta key to share? I'm keen on testing the beta, but shelling out $70 dollars isn't something I think I could do.
