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

[QUOTE]Tomorrow's free content will add support for the Blast, Droid Run, Drop Zone, Hero Hunt, and Heroes vs Villains multiplayer modes to the Tatooine Survival map, which will now be called Raider Camp. The update will also add Hoth-themed outfits for Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, unlocked by players completing the game's Heroes' Holiday community mission last month. The update will also include balancing tweaks to weapons and modes, the introduction of daily challenges and community events [B]and the ability for players to create Private Matches.[/B] The next free update, which will hit in February, will add a new survival mission on Hoth, a new Hoth multiplayer map that will support larger game modes including Walker Assault, Supremacy, Fighter Squadron and Turning Point. The game will also expand the Turning Point game mode for play on all maps that currently support Walker Assault and Supremacy. March adds another multiplayer map on Endor that will support Walker Assault, Supremacy, and Turning Point, and an additional Tatooine Survival map.[/QUOTE]

Wait what the fuck? Those names like Death Star aren't the expacs are they? 2 maps? [editline]26th January 2016[/editline] God I hope those DLCs have more content than 2 locations. I wanted game modes and weapons and heroes and shit [editline]26th January 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Wulfram;49610899]Hoth has more maps than just the one that is the battle of Hoth though.[/QUOTE] Yeah but Luke never fights in the other outfit. Closest you get is a wampa run in

[QUOTE=usaokay;49611503]Fucking Battlefield 4 has way more DLC maps per pack than this game.[/QUOTE] They're getting away with it by claiming they're not maps they're "planets" and that the same map on a different game mode counts as a whole map [editline]26th January 2016[/editline] Another problem I have with them not using Luke's pilot suit is now he's gonna be tougher to see because he's using the same outfit as the hoth rebels

They are probably going to have like 2-3 maps per planet, like the different locations on the planets we have now. And I'd honestly rather just have multiple planets with 1 large map than the same planet with the same content and same assets just placed differently. Though, I am fucking stoked to see Bespin in this game. I'm sure it will be incredibly beautiful.

having 1 planet that contains multiple maps is fine, it's kind of like BFBC2 except stupid and not fluid. However, locking a gamemode to a 'map' is a fucking horrible idea, every 'map' should be compatible with at least more than one gamemode.

[QUOTE=cdr248;49611543] However, locking a gamemode to a 'map' is a fucking horrible idea, every 'map' should be compatible with at least more than one gamemode.[/QUOTE] Well Turning Point is coming to the other maps I believe. Though that was from free DLC not paid.

At least we get the death star. I wonder if we'll get an actual space battle. It'd be fun to have people fighting inside and an evacuation when the outside people kill the death star the movie way. Or maybe the imperial royal guard guys. As a costume or as a remodel for the shock troopers on the map. Wonder if its gonna be new hope or ROTJ. Likely ROTJ, every design in the game is from Empire/ROTJ and no New Hope for some reason

Yeah, how would Fighter Squadron work on the Death Star? I'm guessing it will be outside on the surface. Each DLC is suppose to add a game mode right? Maybe there will be a gamemode unique to the death star where you need to blow it up or something. [editline]26th January 2016[/editline] Though that would mean no "ground" maps with Fighters on the Death Star [editline]26th January 2016[/editline] They were taking pictures of the DS2 in the BTS stuff, tho that was used in the Endor Skybox

that would technically make it a space battle, which they've said they won't do. of course, if someone there didn't have their head buried so damn deep up their ass, they would capitalize on this. i would also (really really being optimistic here, seriously stretching as far as i can go) hope they use this old swbf2 map for inspiration [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I72cRMUXJ8E[/media] there are also some real good cloud city maps made for outcast/academy. finally, here's to hoping they didn't just add those two outfits or at least plan to add more variations in the future.

[QUOTE=Pops;49611817]that would technically make it a space battle, which they've said they won't do. [/QUOTE] Nah, because you're still over the surface of something. It would be no different then any other Fighter Squadron map.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49611863]Nah, because you're still over the surface of something. It would be no different then any other Fighter Squadron map.[/QUOTE] i know, but that's the kind of retarded reasoning we don't have space battles in the new game. fighter squadron is space battles but without capital ships.

It'd be a new game mode. They didn't say they refuse to make space battles, just that they don't have them. It'd make sense if they had a battle inside the death star and then the powerups for vehicles fly are there and they fly around the outside and both inside and outside players help each other. It'd be totally different from your typical space battle. The reason the classic space battles don't "work" is you can't land a ship and climb out because they have those stupid tokens instead of having them lay around and be entered. But if there was only ONE "capital ship" (the death star) it'd work because there'd be no reason to leave with the intention of landing inside a hangar to fuck something up, since you're already in there. It'd be like a gigantic walker assault, except ground troops are fighting INSIDE the walker (death star). I imagine maybe the inside the troopers are defending shields with uplinks ala walker assault, and outside it's a fighter squadron type deal and the x-wing players are responsible for bombing runs when the shields are open. Instead of the walker going to a location, the death star is charging its weapon to fire. [editline]26th January 2016[/editline] It'd be like return of the jedi, which most of the designs are already taking after.

[quote]DL-44 overheat tweaked and fire rate changed from 250 to 180.[/quote] Let's hope this'll actually make a difference [editline]26th January 2016[/editline] Looks like CA-87 was neither nerfed nor buffed. It's the new DL-44, then. It was basically a shotgun DL44, what the DL44 utility should've been the whole time. Up close I can get 1 shots or maybe 2 shots, but you'd have to be super close, unlike DL44. Also heats up after 2 I think. When I played with it i was confused why dl44's stats were just OP edition of it. Hopefully with this change ca-87 stays in its drop zone CQB king role and the DL44 becomes more like a magnum or deagle in other games works.

Dodged a bullet on this one [url]http://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-star-wars-game-that-never-was/1100-6434191/?ftag=GSS-05-10aaa0a[/url]

Prepare to be unsuprised then, cause Star Wars Commander is just that.

[QUOTE=usaokay;49615825]Wouldn't be surprised if there is a Star Wars themed Angry Birds game. OH SON OF A BITCH.[/QUOTE] there's two [sp]and i own both of them[/sp]

How is 16 maps a small amount? Also the extra free ones.

[QUOTE=Xanoxis;49616150]How is 16 maps a small amount? Also the extra free ones.[/QUOTE] Basically the free maps are the maps taken from the Mission and put into multiplayer so it's really not new and i bet that "new" hoth map in the later months is just the tutorial snow speeder map but edited just a little bit since it's so wide open.

Hoth Luke is in SP as well (not my image) [t]http://i.imgur.com/c4WUe2O.jpg[/t] [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] you know, if you were to stand around with your saber off with Hoth luke, you would blend in with the other soldiers from a distance. [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] Also from reddit, most kills is no longer the central stat for objective game modes [t]http://i.imgur.com/aTNGTOI.png[/t]

I'm glad they updated it(though I kinda expected the pilot suit one from Battlefront 2 just because it stuck out more). Seeing ROTJ Luke on Hoth was silly as hell to me.

Kinda miffed they had players unlock a community challenge for the new Hoth costumes to be added

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;49620780]Kinda miffed they had players unlock a community challenge for the new Hoth costumes to be added[/QUOTE] That's their excuse for releasing it, tbh it probably would have been released anyways.

[QUOTE=usaokay;49620885]watch as it becomes dlc[/QUOTE] They were in yesterday's update before you posted this. I posted a screenshot (stolen from reddit) :v:

I don't get what you're trying to say, you quoted a post about something that is out and free

Watch them make the game DLC [editline]28th January 2016[/editline] Oh wait
