But this is the one campaign that isn't forgettable. In fact, they made the game BECAUSE it's not forgettable!

Pretty sure almost everyone wants to play through this campaign

I was all set to join y'all on Battlefront, got my turkey brine ready, and then the sink started leaking.

I love Walker Assault. I'm finally getting better at the vehicle missions. I'm a much better TIE pilot than X-Wing, it would seem.

In most other game modes, I'm woefully inadequate but I did have my first round with more kills than deaths yesterday, so there's that.

This game is fun, but I can't help but imagine how much more fun it'd be with if it was more like the first two.

The only game mode that seems to have bots is the air battle one. It just feels so much better when there is borderline chaos. That is also pretty much the only game mode where the spawns don't place you in the middle of enemies on a regular basis.

The endor map looks awesome but being an imperial there really sucks (although the stormtroopers stand out on every level compared to the rebels, this is the sharpest contrast and provides the most cover).

Supremacy is my favorite mode so far but they really really need to fix team rotation/rebalancing, if you are the empire on endor in a group in a session you will always be the empire on endor. Really dumb. Also the spawn locations are awful.

I can totally agree with this. I'd love for some/all of the old maps and modes to be incorporated into future expansions. Once TFA comes out, I can't help but wonder if they are going to bring back some of the old stuff Pandemic did so well. There are tons of areas that aren't represented yet - Bespin, Kamino, Geonosis, etc. Not to mention other planets like Mustafar and the ones from the Order 66 scenes of ROTS. I assume those are fleshed out in the Clone Wars cartoon.


Conquest was the bomb, in the original. (I don't think I ever played 2, but the first BF + Mercenaries was enough to teach me that Pandemic knew their shite).

You will. Often. It's like an Edge of Tomorrow simulator, especially at first. It's no wonder that Stormtroopers appear not to be able to hit the broad side of a barn. I still don't understand how folks can appear to be so accurate from what seems like halfway across the map, especially when the game encourages a Run & Gun approach.

Free content on the horizon.

Battle of Jakku goes live in 2 weeks and happens 29 years before Episode VII. It'll basically be THE reason why the surface of the Tattoine-like planet from TFA is riddled with burned-out Star Destroyers, X-wings, etc.

I was worried that there might be spoiler content in the new level since it comes out 2 weeks before the movie, but it appears that it will fill in content just assumed to be history in the movie. Pretty cool.

On endor as the empire, patience is the key. Stay in a group and don't just run around the map like a crazy person. Look for blaster fire and try to find a small defensible area to guard

Yes the vehicle play is really fun. I'd say I'm the opposite; much better with rebel planes. Still crash into mountains though when trying to shoot ground troops

I am good with the TIE Fighter and the Rebel Snowspeeder and A-Wing but I am arse with the Interceptor and X-Wing. They seem clunkier for some reason.

Slave I is the tits though. I've only gotten it once but I went 26-21-1(26 human kills, 21 bot kills) that time and blew up the falcon and a transport.

The best way to rack up killstreaks is to get the scout trait and go as far away from the battle as you can and flank the hell out of them. I'm telling you, literally every game on Endor I run to the boundaries of the map and sneak up behind their spawn and kill tons of them

I've been playing Walker Assault almost exclusively.

Also, I played a few matches of the Heroes vs. Villains mode. I did horribly. It is, however, a good source of XP...

What's the deal with the season pass? Pay 50 bucks now and get new maps later? Still confused at how that works.
