Really regretting buying the season pass as I started up the game lol
What a complete waste of time this game is. I thought maybe I'm just not an online shooter guy but the same complaints seem to be across the net.
Even for an online shooter it feels like a polished alpha or proof of concept that needs work to begin on it ....

100% agree. The beta was enough to keep me away. The full game reviews made me glad I didn't buy it.

Man, when Poe Dameron returned he kicked *** just like how I felt when playing Squadron Fighter. Where the heck is any of the TFA battles? I can't imagine the other DLC's to be any different to what was offered in the Battle of Jakku which isn't even the Battle of Jakku.

I got about four words into that... Can we please use spoiler tags!
It's weird, they said they aren't going to be having DLC from the new movie. Which is a waste since the stuff from the movie seems perfectly designed for the way the game can use it.
Seemed like the game was designed to resemble the atmosphere battles we saw in the movie.

My nephew got the system bundle for Christmas. He's more of a sports fan, so he doesn't care for it. We gameshare so I downloaded it....and it sucks. I don't have plus, but I played the beta on the One and it wasn't my thing. Emperor is a useless character; why run around with lightning? I get that they said they never showed him using his saber in the OT, but you sure as **** don't see him swirling in midair as an attack movie. As a matter of fact, he was a ***** in the OT. At least the PT made him an incredible swordsman.
What good are supply drops as Leia btw? That's stupid. And why not at least do different skins. You got to play as Vader and Anakin in BF II. Why can't Leia have her bounty outfit on tattooine? Or her endor outfit? Same with Han. If Sidious is swirling in midair, what's so hard about getting a blue lightsaber and pilot outfit for Luke on Hoth? Those small things piss me off.
Don't get me started on the minimal maps, and season pass. And why can't I at least customize my soldier for offline battle? Sheesh.
I'm pissed and I got the ****ing game for free.

Broke and happy
There's a number of times where the emperor wins the round--his advantage is if he can get close enough, plus he is easier to use since you don't have to aim his lightning really.
Both his and Leia's supply drop ability spawns a Hero health item, which can heal you or one of your teammates, so it can be extremely useful.
The PT was lightsaber ****. Even kids had them. They were probably in every utensil drawer. Of course the Emperor had to be in on the action too. What made him cool in the OT is that while the Skywalkers are battling with these Jedi weapons, here's this hooded old guy who just starts shooting lightning out of his hands, he's beyond needing a weapon. You're right that it makes him a crap character in the game, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make if it means I don't have to see any PT in this game.

The irony there being that it would likely have been a much better game had it included PT stuff... Just as the superior originals did. Say what you will about the actual movies, but they featured lots of cool tech and characters that translate well into video games. Although, all that said, it still would have been designed for 8 year olds so the extra content may not have done that much more to extend the games life or improve its desirability.
So I heard for the first dlc it's 4 characters and they are OT only? So who could it Be? Obi wan, chewbacca, lando - who the hell else? If they make us pay for an ewok ill riot!!
Why not do PT as well! as mentioned above, the characters translate well to video games, I mean c'mon, MAUL, Obi wan from any episode (they will no doubt go with ep3) qui gon, anakin, jango, mace windu. I hope in later DLC packs they include PT and then eventually characters from the force awakaens.
They should also have different skins for the heroes already in there, Luke has about 20 different looks!
The season pass for this is ridiculous! £40!! I'm getting a bit sick of having to pay for extra content that should be on there anyway.
As for the game, I love it, I know it's simple and dumbed down but that's why I like it, any one can pick up and play and feel like they are in a massive Star Wars battle and that's how it should be.
But on the other hand I haven't played any battlefront game before this, so maybe I am a bit unaware of what's came bedore.

IG-88 maybe, some of the other bounty hunters?
Wasn't it confirmed that the DLC's will all be OT only going forward? This game is pretty much a lost cause for me I think, I hate the overly simple nature, it's just boring and tedious imo. I'm just hoping it forces a new direction and a better sequel with more depth and tact.

Beats me, I don't like the game so haven't been following it so much, it was stated in this thread so is just a comment on the internet at this point...

I can how that being the case for him. Regardless though, it seems like a waste of a character.
I figured it out with the Emperor, not so much with Leia; from what I remember in the beta, I don't really think health spawns matter much. You die just as quickly anyways.
That's what makes the Prequel good from my point of view. I see that 7 and 8 year old kids at the time of their release loved em. They never said anything bad, why? Because it was marketed for kids. Lucas didn't have a good story for the OT kids, but the action and characters were the selling point of the PT. Hell, the new ST will probably be the same, marketed for kids; but at least a decent to amazing stories for long time fans.The PT was lightsaber ****. Even kids had them. They were probably in every utensil drawer. Of course the Emperor had to be in on the action too. What made him cool in the OT is that while the Skywalkers are battling with these Jedi weapons, here's this hooded old guy who just starts shooting lightning out of his hands, he's beyond needing a weapon. You're right that it makes him a crap character in the game, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make if it means I don't have to see any PT in this game.
What I'm saying is; regardless of how PT was perceived, the characters and action were the best from PT, easily. And honestly, the lightning really isn't a big deal. Anakin could do it too, had he not been diced the **** up and turned into a robot essentially. And even so, how does that make him intimidating? The OT mentioned how great a jedi Yoda was, and the PT always emphasized that Yoda was the best swordsman. If the lightsaber wasn't such a crucial weapon for both sith and jedi, then I could see Sidious not needing his; but it almost correlated to the dark or light side.
It just makes me mad how hypocritical EA is when it is convenient. For example, they mentioned Luke wasn't a Jedi in ESB, that's why he doesn't have his pilot uniform and blue saber. Well guess what? Emperor was never on Endor, Leia never kept her outfit from Hoth outside of Hoth, and so many other things could be said. I don't see what would kill them to have dedicated skins to the specific map; like FR did with the older BF games. Which also leads to their attack powers and so on.
I'd gladly take the PT also in it. Droids and clones could add so much more to customization, and honestly often were more fun to play than the rebels. Only thing I enjoyed about Galactic Empire and Rebels were the maps like Bespin and Tattooine.
I'm just ranting, but I'm not big for this game. I'm praying a second one will add so much more, and none of that DLC ****ing ********.
Seems like the other Bounty Hunters would be the only other thing. Not many are friendly to the Empire.
I heard the same thing too. More modes and more maps. I can see more heroes added, but not many to choose from except maybe a Ben, Chewie, and Lando.
I believe it was in an article. Initial rumor was that they didn't do it due to a lack of heroes to pick from TFA. Same as for villains.
Whatever, I'm not wasting any more money on this game. It's **** imo. Could have been epic. It's the Avatar of games right now, just cause it looks good; don't make it good.
For me, the appeal is that it's the OT. This type of game typically has no interest for me. I really don't have anything to compare it to. I've played a bit of COD offline once or twice over the years and that's it. Put me in the OT universe though and it's like all my old toys from my childhood come to life. It looks and sounds great.
That said, I am starting to see the issues with it. I'm always on a losing team for cargo. Since there's no real way of communicating, you could have 5 guys looking to defend or up their kill count while you are alone in trying to pick up the cargo. On the flip side, I don't want to hear mic chatter either. My few experiences with it in GTAO caused me to find out how to mute it very quick. Far too annoying.
It seems too much importance is placed on kills, since it's the only stat you see at the end. Spawning issues on the small maps too, the area is too small so you spawn in front of the enemy with your back turned to them.
I dunno, like I said I don't really play these kinds of games so I haven't seen how it can work better.
