I agree to a certain degree. I was hoping they wouldn't have Iden defect to the Rebels. It ended up feeling like TFU where you want to play as a badass villain but they end up redeeming the character. I still think they did it well. Operation Cinder was clearly a stupid operation, which is why Iden and Del betrayed. Only a madman would have followed along with it. Also, this story wasn't meant to show how the First Order came to be. Just like TFA wasn't supposed to be about that either. The story is about Inferno Squad, and I assume nothing all that exciting happened until the "decades later" on Pillio for Del.

They haven't said anything about future DLC seasons other than they will happen. I don't think they even announced the new missions at all until today. It was a big surprise to me. Well they already confirmed Grievous to be one of the next villains via the game code. I'm sure there will be seasons dedicated to certain eras/planets. Like Season 2 might be prequel content with Utapau maps and Obi-Wan and Grievous heroes. But we won't know until they announce it.

Just finished it today. So far its the best part of the game, by far. It was great to see iconic characters play a big role throughout the story, and to see how some things connect. If anyone only plays games for the SP content, I recommend this game. And they just announced that they will be releasing additional SP missions in a couple weeks. I saw that right after finishing the campaign, and I was really hoping that was going to be the case because the ending was definitely not an ending. For MP, I'm a bit frustrated with how bad the HUD is. Its so chaotic that I'm shocked it was shipped this way. The squad icons are literally useless but they have it nearly in the middle of the screen at all times. Why? It covers your soldier in third person and its just there in your view in first person. So stupid. And the kill popup is GINORMOUS. Why does it need to cover 50% of the screen when you get a kill or an assist. The kill marker is enough to know I got a kill. I also noticed the effects in this game are not on par with the first game. The bullets aren't as authentically glowy and the impacts aren't as impactful. And the sabers aren't as glowy. I wonder why they cut back on that? Everything else looks amazing except for that.

Well. Somewhat. They're mostly known for locking basic features behind DLC and microtransactions. Take SWBF2015 for example. They used DLC to finish the game, and some of the DLC guns were extremely overpowered, meaning you had to buy the DLC to use them and have a chance (although they nerfed them over time, the last guns still remain OP). I'm not too familiar with the EA sports games but I know they have a currency system in place. My little brother used to buy FIFA points all the time when he would get his allowance a couple years ago. I forget what you get with the points but it definitely never seemed worth it at all. Anyway, here's DICE's statement they posted last night:

Fixed the typo in your title because it was driving me crazy. (they're is a contraction of "they are")

Agreed. The devs had an AMA on reddit this week, and despite every answer they gave being mass-downvoted to oblivion, some answers they gave were somewhat promising (albeit vague in most cases). They have an interest in doing Galactic Conquest, which would be awesome. I feel like that wouldn't be able to happen until much further down the line when they have more planets to use for that. Taking over the galaxy won't be as cool if there are only a handful of planets.

Same. I'm still excited for it. It's been too long since I played as a B1 and a Clone.

Welcome to every gaming community ever. People will complain about anything. That's just how it is. I'm glad they are listening and changing things up. The main thing I'm still worried about is the pay to win aspect. Loot crates should only be cosmetic changes, not better abilities and weapons. They still haven't changed this and I doubt they will. I liked the season pass better than that. I'm glad to pay for season passes if they actually feel like they add to the game instead of complete it.

Yeah this is the big controversy right now: https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2017/11/12/fans-worry-star-wars-battlefront-2s-free-dlc-heroes-are-going-to-take-eons-to-grind-for/#d14c59036285

http://www.starwars.com/news/rian-johnson-writer-director-of-star-wars-the-last-jedi-to-create-all-new-star-wars-trilogy This might have me even more excited than I was for Episode VII. Of course we haven't seen The Last Jedi yet to determine how well he can do Star Wars, but overall I am really excited for truly original content that isn't tied to the Skywalker saga. What era do you guys think he will set his films in? I'm sure a lot of people will say the KOTOR era, which I'd agree. Would be awesome. I'd be fine with any era though.

He should, from what I can see.

This is really awesome. Keep the progress coming!

They are dedicated servers, not matches. So the atmosphere is going to be a lot different than what a "match" would entail. Like ent said, your best bet is to learn the different communities and their server popularity and time zones. This is a very old game, the playerbase gets smaller each year.

Can I has in JKA?

Heh. Good ol' JK2-era models. The face texture is what made that model great.

You’d rather hear someone else’s opinion before deciding on your own first? That pretty much guarantees you will share the first opinion you hear.

Check in effects/volumetric

I highly doubt it. The amount of games made during the Episode I craze was always intentional. After they released the Episode I game in 1999 (made by Big Ape Productions), the Xbox came out, and I'm sure they wanted to get a new game on there ASAP, one that tied in with the movie. That's just my speculation, though.

I also will offer my services. If you need any audio work done like foley or other effects, I'm all for it. Been looking for cool ways to build my portfolio. If not now then in any future projects you have.

Yep, the search is pretty much worthless. We added a link to use Google search instead, if you drop down the blue button next to the search bar. IPB is silly, basically.

This may be a bit late for some people's timezones, but Happy Halloween from JKHub! Our contest went extremely well! All of the entries were top notch in my book, and I'm proud of each person that worked on these. Great job everyone. Now, usually I mention the winner and the 2nd and 3rd place mods, but since there were a few that were tied for both of those positions, and we had another bad case of people registering only to vote, I'm going to instead mention all entries equally, aside from the winner. With that said...the winner of the Halloween 2017 Mod Contest is... LANGERD ...again. Langerd has once again destroyed the poll with a whopping 20 votes, exactly twice the amount of votes the runner ups got. This man knows how to contest, and his Halloween Town mod pretty much blows his mod from last year out of the water by far. Let's take a look. Halloween Town is very small map, but cozy. As soon as it loads up, you'll immediately think of Halloween Town from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas or Luigi's Mansion or other toony and creepy media. The ghosts that haunt the area were definitely a must-have for this setting, since it's a graveyard. Upon further exploration, you will next notice the creepy jack-o-lantern pumpkins around the map. What is so special about these pumpkins? The animations, my friend. The animations. They look like they are straight out of another game. I think these guys are my favorite part of the whole map. It brings the map alive in a way that JKA maps usually fall short with. Now, I'm not sure if this next part was either a ploy to gain more votes or to show his hit list, but nonetheless it was a clever touch. I felt honored to be dead in this map. And the final element I will show is the icing on the cake. Any time a map has interactive elements to it, it's immediately more enjoyable. Even if it's just a simple button, people love pushing it. This map is no exception to that. What is Halloween without trick-or-treat candy? The cauldron in the center will give the children what they came for. This is only one of the handful of interactive elements in the map. Overall, the map is extremely well done. I applaud you, Langerd, for crafting this thing. You never cease to amaze the modding community with your recent projects. Not only are your works great, but they are of the size and quality of a full mod team to accomplish, in such little time. I always look forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve. There is one thing this map needs to be better, and its to have more of it. Would love to see it bigger with more room to use on a server for people to play on. Everyone give Langerd a round of applause! Here is your prize! Don't forget to check out the rest of the contest entries. Seriously. There are some really great mods here that will surprise you. If you're looking for something to do tonight to fulfill your sp00ky appetite, try all of these out. I'm honestly surprised it wasn't a closer poll, because of how cool all of these are. Nice job, and be thinking of what you'll make for next year! ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
