i played it last night with a few friends and it was fun. At first, it was very frustrated but after a while, it gets better because you get used to it.

I still have it while I have EA Access. AtomBom and Cobra played it recently as well but I think AB deleted it recently lol. Saw Cobra playing it a bit last night so I'm sure we could get a few in again.
I just jumped into a game and got spawn killed like 20 times by a hero lol. Still fun though once I got the hang of it.
Not sure if I'm a fan of objective modes though, seems hard to get anyone to do anything useful.

In all seriousness, I'll mute my mic in games for the next few days until I see the movie on Saturday.
Triple XP this weekend was nice. Just played a bunch of co-op but even still I'd rank up 2-3 times in just one match. Think I went like rank 5 to 40 on the officer class alone lol.
Do they announce when they are doing triple or even double XP anywhere? I definitely want to grind double XP weekends anytime I get a chance. The leveling system is tedious to say the least, and I actually have a ton unlocked from when I played way back at launch. Double XP makes it a lot more tolerable.
I'm ok with the assault and officer classes, but I don't have much good on the enforcers or the heroes. The end of most Capital Supremacy matches turns into hero/enforcer spam, but it is a lot of fun.

Yea I just happened to hop on the right weekend for the XP boost. I only played co-op which I thought would be easy but the AI is like hard mode. Probably harder than humans because they have all the regular AI hacks like seeing you behind them, seeing through trees etc lol.
I'm definitely no good with melee heroes. I block blasters but my stamina instantly drains. Meanwhile AI heroes walk halfway across the map while I unload on them and can still destroy me in one hit. But Captain Phasma or whatever I went to town with. Bossk or whatever is also really good.
Yeah, I'm mostly ok with the non-hero enforcers. The hero slots get taken right away anyway. The people who use them are crazy good at them so I just hope someone on my team has one to counter.
I know they were doing triple XP over the holidays which was awesome. I didn't see any indication until the end of a match though.
Seems like the their community calendar is the best place to go. Looks like every Wednesday is 2xp, but that's not a lot of time for those of us that work.
No more scheduled this month.

By the way co-op is where you need to go to unlock the assault gun (at least). They aren't clear with that. 3xp counts there too so it is an easy way to level up fast. Tons of enemies to kill.
So the new guns are really good, at least the ones for all except the sniper class (never use that one). They are worth grinding for. Just jump into Co-op and each class gun is unlocked with 50 kills each. You can get that done in 2-3 coop sessions, not to mention it is still 3xp so you'll level up your classes a ton. It has to be coop though, not multiplayer.
I highly recommend jumping in and getting at least ones for classes you use a ton.

This game is a lot of fun for coop. For one, you actually get to use the heroes and don't have to fight with everyone over who gets what. Plus it's fun actually using them to stomp the hell out of AI.
Agreed.
It was about a year since I played the game but loaded it up when I randomly came across an article about the XP event last weekend. I went straight to Galactic Assault which was fun but I was getting stomped on by veterans. Then I happened to check out the Co-op section and noticed how much was added and have been playing that exclusively. Not only is it a lot of fun but its challenging since the AI are pretty good and act like real players. They even bunnyhop to throw off your aim, lol.
Battlefront 2 is basically the ultimate Star Wars gaming experience.
The multiplayer can get frustrating at times, especially if you spawn in a spot dominated by enemy heroes and special classes. Finding the right spawn can be hard, and if you are in a base class and up against a hero, forget it. You just respawn somewhere else.
Capital Supermacy is the mode a lot of people play (unfortunately they've not made anything new for Galactic Assault). You start out on the ground trying to capture points, then you get to assault the enemy ship (or defend yours). Games get a lot more back and forth. Stick with other players as much as possible. If you can spawn on your own hero in your squad, do that.
There's still some things that are super frustrating. The new BB8 and First Order hero droids are a monster on console. You just have to play for the objectives and not worry about how many times you die. It often turns into a meat grinder at the end.
Finding a weapon that works for you and your playstyle is important too. For assault the CR2 is basically an SMG, deadly from very close but useless. The new Assault gun is really good at range and solid up close.
Finding the right card setup is key too. For assault there's a way you can heal yourself pretty frequently and that's big.

I have assault, heavy, and officer all rank 50 or above so just working on heroes now. Glad they added OG trilogy because Vader is a boss.
