It's practically useless in deathstar though.


It really only shines on large maps or maps with lots of vertical space.

Death star is not one of those places. for inside combat I use the dioxis grenade and flashbang

Unlocked the DT-29 last night

thing is a beast mode. Paired with cooling cell you get unlimited shots while the cell is active. add berserker and you kill in 2 shots anywhere on the body or 1 in the head

Went 58-1 in a match yesterday. Walker assault on Hoth Outpost Beta.

Jumped in the AT-ST at the start of the match, so I started 19-1 from that.

Then got a few kills before the hero token popped in front of me and picked Krennic. Armor Breaker for the rest of the kills from the back of the map on the last phase. Felt a little dirty but at least I wasn't glitching.

I haven't played in a couple days, but I literally had the shortest Infiltration match ever last night. All 3 rounds combined was probably less than 10 minutes. Yes, I was on the loosing end.

Yeah I have had that happen a couple times. I love the scarif playlist.

If they glitch the first part where the U-Wing can run right through, then the rebs blow the ship fast and extract the tapes fast because your team sucks it can happen that fast

I've been playing nothing but HvV for the past few weeks. That mode is awesome. I think the Empire has better overall characters, although Chewbacca may be the single best character in the game.

No doubt.

Indoors he is unrivaled in the chaos he can cause. Most damage output in the game I believe.

I prefer Infiltration and Turning Point. Fighter Squadron is fun too now that I've finally figured it out.

I used to prefer only the smaller game modes, but I like a lot of the larger ones now. It's way too hard to level up only playing blast, etc.

All of this. I play supremacy a decent amount too.

The Scarif playlist has all the modes I like, so I play it most of the time. Bespin is good too except it always seems to be Sabotage on the carbonite chambers which is my least favorite map on the game. Other than that I like Bespin a lot too.

Carbonate freezing chambers manages to be possibly the best map in the game at capturing the look of the original movies, and the worst when it comes to actual gameplay.

Yep. Looks great. Plays like shite. Choke point after choke point. No where to maneuver. Heroes running around in spawn points racking up 80+ kills.

On another note, Lando got patched today.

Chewy got a nerf, Vader got a big buff, Leia got a small buff, Bossk got a small nerf, Kernnic got a nerf

Glad they haven't abandoned the game completely

I knew they were going to fix Lando. I'll be interested to see how the other changes affect gameplay.

Apparently Vader is a goddamn monster now. Does more damage and takes less.

The worst maps are the death star. The entire thing is tiny hallway --> square room. Constant grenade spam

Yeah, those maps are bad too. I was disappointed with that entire DLC (other than Chewbacca and Bossk) once the coolness of the space battles wore off.

Agreed. I never play that list.

DLC map quality in order for me:

1.Scarif - All fun, but basically the same map. Great mix of open spaces and choked jungle
2.Bespin - All great except the Freezing Chambers
3. Outer Rim - Love these but don't like hero modes so I don't play the list
4. Death Star - No thanks

Been reading forum posts regarding the new patch all day. Can't wait to get home and try it out. Vader obviously looks strong, but Jyn probably got the biggest buff of all. Her damage was basically doubled. She might actually be viable now.

i would of thought, if you have a EA membership, the DLC should be playable.

but i have just the normal rotation.


when you spawn, and ur face to face with a hero, ur so screwed. i swear i put 30 shots, 1 grenade, and a homing shot in Rey, and she still raped me.

I do like the addition of more heros, and their sidekicks.

I am in the minority who says heroes shouldn't be in the game. It marginalized the competitive element when one dude can happen upon a power up that gives him an OP character that takes 30 shots to kill who can 1 or 2 shot most regular players.

You didn't have Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill running around the battlefield in BF1942. Battlefront should simulate what it's like to be a grunt soldier in the Galactic Civil War. There are better games that let you be a jedi

Nah you aren't. You should be able to play Walker Assault with or without heroes and so on. Heroes have their place but we shouldn't be forced to deal with them on every large scale game more but 1 (turning point)

I never play heroes vs villains and I hate when I get murderfaced by a hero when I am just a normal jackleg soldier.
