Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Oct 11, 2015, 11:45 PMJust won for the first time as rebels. I used orbital strike on one and it took half his hp or more. I don't know what it is but our team then took them both down pretty easily

Got in an A wing in the same match and owned two tie fighters

Me and my mates won one last night. I have one friend who just spends the whole game in aircraft and he managed to bring one Walker down on his own using the ropes. The other one was on really high health and got hit by an orbital strike, survived with 13 health left. We all just madly shot at it and thew ion grenades and we managed to kill it before time ran out. Great fun.

Do you buddy spawn? If so whats the problem. If you spawn next to him you can expect him to be in battle

no i rarely if ever spawn on my partner. and i find it mostly happens while playing as the rebels. they need more locations, and they need to be futher away.

the "random" locations also dont have very many options, especially during the first phase. its incredibly easy for anyone on the imperials to hop in an atst and 30 seconds later be standing next to one of the rebels spawns, killing everyone as they spawn. ive had 20 kills in the first 3 minutes of the game multiple times, and others have figured it out lol

they also need to randomize the card spots, playing as the rebels, me and a guy camped the at-at card spawn and got a crud load of kills with people trying to get it.

So my opinion is that rebels are most definitely OP. They've won 4 times in a row now, if people know to save orbital strikes then the empire don't have a chance. Failing that, people can bring it down using the ropes if needs be.

They need to make it required that a walker is at less than half health before a snowspeeder can attempt to rope it down. They also need to dramatically reduce the damage orbital strikes do to walkers. I hit one last night and its health went from 96 to 33. The worst part is, there are star cards like Ion Torpedoes that do a shame load of damage to AT-STs. I think it only takes three to kill them. Now imagine all 20 rebel players firing those at an AT-AT. Those things recharge, too. So you could possibly get 40 shots off provided you have enough Y-Wings incoming.

DICE just dropped some information on other multiplayer modes.

I just hope the servers aren't garbage when they launch it.

That'd be a good way to kill the game.

Did battlefield for have a beta? How did the online work in that?

I don't know tbh but bf4 was pretty bad at launch. If the battlefront servers launch as they are now it would be bad. There's a constant extremely annoying lag, plus there's no party system to join servers as a group.

Raven · Oct 13, 2015, 03:11 PM

DICE confirmed via Twitter that Battlefront will have "a heck of a lot more guns" at release compared to the beta. Also confirmed that Walker Assault will have four maps at release.

I didn't experience any lag, and I am in Iceland playing against people who are mostly far away from me!
