also hero units confirmed
the article writes "up to 40 players" but i've seen earlier reports of 64 player servers, so idk wait until the reveal for confirmation on that.

It'd probably have them make more sense that way - if the ship goes into like an ocean or crawls along in the outer layers of a gas giant or something, the tower doesn't seem quite such a poor design. It'd get a better view topside while the lower half is submerged, regardless of any tech providing a way to see through pretty cosmic bs.
Still I'd be more concerned about how orbital bombardments got translated into a lot of small blasts instead of one huge blast. I love lots and lots of lasers but those are still better. It's just like "yeah, we only need one blast to knock you out". I wouldn't mind if the kill zone was larger and more explodey (at least with, an additional even specialer but less available orbital attack that way) at the very least.

so it seems that hero assault was confirmed via some spanish website
now what i'm guessing is, since this is ea, we'll be getting character dlc out the ass, which would most certainly mean clone wars map packs, or EU characters.

No.6537
>>6530
I've been playing for the last few hours. Overall I feel pretty positive about the core game itself, but most of my major concerns were reinforced. It just feels like there is going to be a pitiful amount of content and variety in the game, and the three modes on offer feel pretty shallow.
The survival mode is just a bog standard horde mode, drop zone was alright and I could see it being better on a different map, and walker assault is just completely fucking broken. I played 6 matches of that bullshit and didn't see the rebels even come close to winning even once. ATSTs just steamroll them, there is no way to fight back. Let alone fight back and actually play the objective. The map itself also gives the Empire a huge advantage, most of the time the rebels get pushed back into the base and get spawncamped non-stop.
No.6541
finally saw a walker go down
just the one, across maybe 30 games
also the server selection system is bugged the fuck out and the single player is so laughably easy that I only use melee against everyone short of the walkers, and I use a pistol on those for fun
No.6542
>>6537
To give them credit where it is due though, these graphics are off the fucking walls. Like holy shit this actually might be one of the best looking games out there. You can stick your face into whatever wall you like, there aren't any ugly textures at all. It even performs well at the same time, I'm getting a decent ~45FPS at worst in the 20v20 mode at 4K on my 980 TI with everything maxed out, with the other modes generally staying at 60.

So yeah I've played a couple hours of the beta.
Pros so far.
>it's fucking beautiful
>Sounds fucking orgasmic (But some of the rifle sounds are inaccurate)
>Decent menus
>optimised well/decent frames
>pick up system for vehicles actually makes the game a lot less campy I've found.
Cons
>fuck all replay-ability. We're pretty much playing half the game already too.
>Heroes control terribly
>Air vehicles control quite badly (still fun though)
>Imperial vehicles are OP as fuck.
>Darth Vader dialogue is atrocious
So if the game were like $15-30 then I'd say it'd be worth it.
But at $89 Australian, fuck that.
If it turns out to be fucking amazing a week after launch then MAYBE. But if not I'll probs pick it up on sale at some point.
No.6561

If this is even a quarter of the amount of content the final game will end up having in the end, this game is going to be dead in the water. If that is the case there just isn't enough variety to keep it alive for long. Unless the other game modes are somehow amazing and manage carry the game, which doesn't seem that likely so wait and see it is. Speaking of the other game modes that haven't been shown off yet, what does everyone thing they are going to be?
>Supremacy
Probably the conquest mode equivalent, if it gets its own specifically designed maps this would be pretty good.
>Blast
Likely deathmatch.
>Cargo
I want to say a Rush equivalent but Walker Assault is already that so I have no idea what this could be.

- pickups. battlefront isn't an arena shooter like unreal, call of dildos or titanshit, it's a battlefield reskin but made better.
- EVERYONE HAS FUCKING JETPACKS
- forcing the idea that battlefront is a fps when it's played better in 3rd person view in every single aspect
