There's a cool room that's not in the trailer but is on the video on their site that is very reminiscant of the SWBF2 Death Star map, around about 20 seconds in.



Plus, one of the new Star Cards is a Medical Droid, like in the first game, just dispensible.

There's one more DLC in the season pass after this, right? I picked up the game for $8 US and will probably wait until the season pass goes on sale to pick all that up.

Yup, it's the Rogue One DLC releasing in either December or early 2017.

lol I had the same situation with Bespin. I was gone for almost two weeks and arrived home two days before the separate release. However, I was able to play through remote play. Remote play's input lag was terrible though, so online was pretty much unplayable.

Breakdown of some stuff:

-TIE Defenders and B-Wings serve as AI ship support. This is being rolled out across all existing Fighter Squadron maps too. Doesn't seem like you can play as them though, sadly.
-Y-Wings and TIE Bombers are playable through token pickups.
-The customization system has changed, now resembling something like the Squadron games where you have separate body and head choices. The Stormtrooper is now helmeted always, with the Imperial Officers and Death Star Officers being the only helmetless options. Four Stormtrooper Pauldron choices are also available: white, black, red and orange.
-The player playing R2-D2 has a 'last chance' if their health hits 1. It'll go into a Disruption minigame, and if you 'break free', you regain half of your health. if you fail, Stormtroopers will fit a restraining bolt to R2-D2. R2's weapons are smoke, shock (Disruption with a single target) and Scan Pulse.
-The map is definitely DS1-based. The interior has none of the rooms from DS2.
-Fighter Squadron is playable on the Star Destroyer portion of the map.

Yes, the pauldrons are unlockable with credits. They've also increased the level cap to 90. From what I have been told, the pauldrons should be unlockable prior to level 70.

The first deathstar also had a throne room. Okay it's no longer :quotes: canon :quotes: But...The throne room was one of the most iconic rooms in the original trilogy and from what I remember Free Radical's Battlefront also had a DS2 map containing the imperial hangar, some rooms, the throne rooms as well as the conference room as seen in Ep IV. I can't see why they shouldn't add this room to the DS1 map too?

Is the Death Star Dlc contributes to the arrival of new cheaters?

Since a few days now, I usually got killed by a one shot T-21b while I was full health and bacta :o Same yesterday but with the DL-18 pistol :runaway:

It's the same for you? Also will the TL-50 will be patched? (Especially that sceodary fire.... :faint: )

Yes, both the Bryar pistol and the TL-50 will have their secondary fire nerfed while the Bryar Pistol will get its primary fire buffed.

I still haven't picked up this game because my PC broke earlier this year and I haven't been able to renew it yet. Although I'm quite nostalgic about the original Battlefront, EA's game looks a lot better than it was at launch after watching DLC videos.

I just hope they heed players criticism and add an instant action option for the sequel.

Off topic: I'm really sorry for bumping the other thread I wasn't paying attention.
