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

Yeah the fact its only two modes doesn't sound fun at all :(

I guess offline Walker is nice but they'd best be adding other modes down the line, and the inevitable sequels should have bots on launch [editline]14th July 2016[/editline] It'd be sweet if we got XP/creds for playing, even if it's reduced heavily

Although just to make sure all the maps are in, add Blast. Battlefront II better have Conquest as a mode. It's DICE's bread and butter, after all. Their decision to instead include a watered-down version baffles me.

How much you wanna bet the AI won't activate the uplink stations?

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50710413]How much you wanna bet the AI won't activate the uplink stations?[/QUOTE] They [I]might[/I] be able to, since you can see the AI run and deactivate drop pods in survival missions.

Oh right, I forgot about that.

I wouldn't mind being the guy to activate/deactivate them, with the ai countering.

The point imo is to have a simulation of a multiplayer map but with fake players so they should be able to do what players can as much as possible I wouldn't mind if they only used default weapons though [editline]14th July 2016[/editline] save for lmg/sniper every few [editline]14th July 2016[/editline] To me playing with bots is fun because you can play a game without worries. No players being terrible, no judgement, no risk of hackers, no overpowered abuse etc

Hopefully the bots will wear helmets. [editline]14th July 2016[/editline] They should populate the bot list with names from your friends list :v:

Oh boy 30 stormtroopers named SingleDude24

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50712463]Hopefully the bots will wear helmets. [editline]14th July 2016[/editline] They should populate the bot list with names from your friends list :v:[/QUOTE] One of my favorite parts of the old Battlefronts' Instant Action was how the names of all the NPCs changed by team. For instance, if you were in the Rebellion you'd have teammates like Ben Pulastra, Jayce Sulvara, and other names that sound like they'd fit in Star Wars; meanwhile you're fighting against nameless stormtroopers like CX 512 and ZP 778. Then in Clone Wars-era stuff, everybody is nameless; clones like Alpha 989 and Omikron 621 fighting battle droids like Unit 032 and Unit 790. It was always a nice little touch seeing all that in the kill feed against AI.

30 mintues until the EA Star Wars panel [video]https://youtu.be/0EI8YxV0u2U[/video] [editline]16th July 2016[/editline] Bossk and a Furry Friend are the new theories. The Teaser trailer showed Flying around the trench, and flying around a Star Destroyer. But that was a teaser trailer, doesn't actually mean you'll be flying around Star Destroyers.

Here's the Battlefront Death Star teaser: [video=youtube;pvKFHYb0oCU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvKFHYb0oCU[/video]

The 4th expansion is based on Rogue One, Takes place on Scarif (the tropical planet from the movie). The Heroes are Director Krennic and Jyn. [editline]16th July 2016[/editline] One of the guys from DICE tweeted this, but then deleted it [img]https://i.gyazo.com/1b62d4db11fb2711ef20946e7b0a77ff.png[/img] Though, just because they're in the play area doesn't mean they're intractable. [editline]16th July 2016[/editline] Ah I see, it was tweeted before the trailer hit, that is why he deleted it. [editline]16th July 2016[/editline] A bit more info on the expansion here, including a new game mode.

New expansion is rogue one? Ha, called it.

I think lots of people called it.

Yeah, it felt pretty obvious.

It was either gonna be Rebels related or Rogue One related, honestly. Only reason they'd hide it for so long.

a new expansion? sequel to kotfe?

Believe so yeah

Dark Jaessa? I think the reason she's not is because they haven't decided how to handle it, since players could choose between light and dark Jaessa. IMO they should default her to dark with the explanation that the Sith Warrior's disappearance deeply effected her for characters that chose light Jaessa

[sp]we've already beat his ass twice, once in base game flash points and again in his own dedicated expansion, doesn't even look like Revan[/sp] [editline]17th July 2016[/editline] More details [url]http://comicbook.com/starwars/2016/07/16/ea-announces-next-star-wars-the-old-republic-expansion-pack/[/url]

Hm I hope the Expansion is still 'free' for subscribers, like KOTFE.

Currently, i am taking on Kyle Katarn's storyline in Jedi Knight series. So far i have completed 1st three games and doing Jedi Outcast now. So far I have had two problems, mainly with Dark Forces 2. 1. You can easily get lost and miss a lot of stuff, at least in my case. 2.[sp]Fucking wolves at the near end game in Mysteries of the Sith expansion. I've had to cheat my way in there because 1 wolf can actually kill you in a second and every gun except lightsaber are broken upon arrival, the levels in general are cool though[/sp]

Besides him being [sp]returned to peace in death[/sp], his escalation factor would be way off since he was, with over 100+ years of attempt, unable to defeat current villain [sp]Valkorion[/sp]. He would only return as a mirage or spirit, at best a companion. HIGHLY unlikely. The point of SoR was to get him out of the way for clamoring fans. KOTFE so far has used mostly original characters. "Season 2" won't be much different especially since [sp]Revan[/sp] might be used in something canon someday and apparently there's more variables of choice this time around. Either which way there's simply no way that's him. I'd buy that it's Koth before him. [editline]17th July 2016[/editline] I say this as a huge fan of [sp]revan[/sp] but it simply makes no sense and that picture doesn't look like him at all [editline]17th July 2016[/editline] I dunno why senya would be fighting him either

Since when has something not making sense in Star Wars canon stopped people from doing it for fanservice? I'm sorry if i seem a little cold but i hate all the [sp]post Kotor Revan bullshit.[/sp] It was cool, lets leave it there.
