They added transparent windows though [t]http://i.imgur.com/RWouOPE.png[/t] Also got Exas Kun's armour set! I love that design. [t]http://i.imgur.com/OZ0Rhve.png[/t]

[QUOTE=nightlord;51430804][media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqz3Vv_deDY[/media] It's awesome to see a team dedicated enough to a game made 13 years ago to make a trailer like this.[/QUOTE] Whoa whoa, hold the phone. Is this yet another SWG revival project? One that actually has a release date in three weeks? What did I miss?

[QUOTE=Chaos Zero;51452194]Whoa whoa, hold the phone. Is this yet another SWG revival project? One that actually has a release date in three weeks? What did I miss?[/QUOTE] It's a project that's been worked on for quite a while and only recently been revelead, it's NGE. Seems to be a bit more complete than the other one and so far there have been no problems, they seem to be taking it very seriously.

I hope that [sp]Arcann is a companion[/sp] by the end of the new SWTOR expac

thats sort of a spoiler but I'll let it slide [editline]1st December 2016[/editline] Im only on chap 5 Im moving really slowly [editline]1st December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Tuskin;51447445]They added transparent windows though[/QUOTE] This isn't the only graphic change, as Im sure you may have noticed The face flexes on your character are more complex, the forehead crinkles when you make a mad face, there's some better shaders (most noticable on the character select screen) and people are reporting up to 30+ frames per second boost from optimization. [editline]1st December 2016[/editline] There's probably more but I don't think they had the graphic changes in the patch notes.

My favorite thing about EA front is air speeders. Walker assault and Turning point make them so much fun to play because they deal so much damage to infantry and have as missile jammer. Seriously fuck who ever thought the fighters didn't need counter measures, getting locked onto by 20 + ion torpedoes and an ATST missile at the same time is caner. Even worse when you dodge,dip,duck,dive, and dodge again the missile will STILL hit you.

[/QUOTE] I've noticed the FPS increase for sure, but not the facial animation yet.

I've been reading lots of praise for the new SWTOR expansion, Story Wise and gameplay. People are saying it is a lot better then KOTFE.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51462432]I've been reading lots of praise for the new SWTOR expansion, Story Wise and gameplay. People are saying it is a lot better then KOTFE.[/QUOTE] Getting that too, apparently this one seems less filler and had more have an idea of what it wanted to be rather than KOTFE

Wait, is it already released as a full package? Is it not episodic or something?

So, watching the Scarif livestream: -The A180 is multi-mode. You lose your Star Cards for those modes: sniper, rifle and ion. Actually kind of reminds me of Republic Commando. -DT-29 - Revolver with six shots. You have to manually reload it, it has no overheat. -TIE Striker: Strafing run sort of thing. -U-Wing: Pilotable in Infiltration Phase 1. In Phase 2, the U-Wing is like the AT-AT: you only get a couple of minutes in it and can't control it outright, instead firing from a minigun with splash damage from the side. -AT-ACT: Only appears in the Battle Beyond. -Infiltration: Act 1 - escort the U-Wings to the gate. Act 2: blow up a cargo ship. Act 3: steal the datatapes. -Armour: heroes can give or reduce armour which alters the damage you take. Krennic's ability is a debuff. -No Ben Ben Mendelsohn or Felicity Jones for the voices. -Rank is being increased to 100.

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;51462929]Wait, is it already released as a full package? Is it not episodic or something?[/QUOTE] Not this time. All 9 chapters were released at once.

[QUOTE=JesterUK;51463183]Not this time. All 9 chapters were released at once.[/QUOTE] Then I guess I can drop 13 bucks or so and experience it

[QUOTE=ggctuk;51462951] -No Ben Ben Mendelsohn or Felicity Jones for the voices.[/QUOTE] That sucks, but not surprising. I wonder who is voicing them.

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;51463228]Then I guess I can drop 13 bucks or so and experience it[/QUOTE] Imo the new story content is really good. But still no new flashpoints and ops. Uprisings are pretty lackluster.

I have been wondering how's the playerbase doing for Battlefront on PC now that the DLCs are out?

[QUOTE=JesterUK;51463183]Not this time. All 9 chapters were released at once.[/QUOTE] This happened with the first 9 chapters of KOTFE as well, then they released an additional 7 over monthly

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;51463517]This happened with the first 9 chapters of KOTFE as well, then they released an additional 7 over monthly[/QUOTE] Yeah but there are only 9 chapters this time.

Oh man chapter 6 is something else, best one so far

Won't lie, I think KOTET was great expansion for an MMO. Bunch of moments with wit that likened to Mass Effect and campy Star Wars and then some moments were Obsidian level good. [sp]*Punch Saresh*[/sp] Theron is Greatly Amused. Cracked up when that happened actually.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51467003]He also likes it [sp]If you kill her[/sp][/QUOTE] Both are equally good

[QUOTE=Tuskin;51467003]He also likes it [sp]If you kill her[/sp][/QUOTE] I'm LS and I still picked this option because how could I resist and I was pleasantly surprised that Theron liked it

I beat KOTET, def better then KOTFE. Though it felt.. easy. Maybe it was my gear, but I only died 4 times, 3 of those times out of my own stupidity (falling off edges) and once from a knock back.. off the ledge.

That hurts to watch considering how bad the person playing it is. [editline]5th December 2016[/editline] And it's 360p only for some reason.

Actually been playing Battlefront since the Scarif DLC is on the way. For the first time ever I got the Death Star kill during Battle Station. I think the trench runs are easily the most fun yet nerve wracking moments I have in that game, because you're praying to whatever deity you worship your team is backing you up and taking out the players out for your blood, while flying through tight spaces begging "please don't crash please don't crash please don't crash!" Unfortunately 9/10 times I end up clipping the environment and dying instantly...

Between the shields and HP being stronger and the ability to auto-heal with R2 it makes him waaaay to powerful.
