    Yeah, and it had a way of really messing with games. I would try to find tokens I knew about on my way to the front of Walker Assault matches, if they weren't there I just kept on moving forward and jump into the action. I noticed people often just camping around the locations. If they couldn't have their precious A-Wing or AT-ST they just weren't going to play. And God forbid I got the token instead of the next person, it was kind of hard to tell without comms but the fact they were jumping around and shooting at me gave the impression of a temper tantrum. I did have one guy quit out of the game after I got the AT-ST token and message me saying I should have let him have it because he was an "AT-ST Specialist". I informed him just about any moron can rack up a ton of kills in an AT-ST. It's kind of like calling yourself a "Shotgun Specialist" in a FPS, which is another way of saying "I can't aim".

    I wasn't disappointed with the selection of Heroes and Villains in the game although I would have loved to have more lesser known Jedi like Kit Fisto and Plo Koon

    I love the first Battlefront. Bought it pretty late after the release (last September) but I play to this day. I'm a casual player these days, so I dig the simplicity. The game is beautiful audiovisually and the Star Wars feel is spot-on. Death Star is my favourite DLC. Battle Station is hands down the best mode. I was disappointed with Scarif. It definitely feels like they didn't put as much effort into it. I suppose a small B-team worked on it since the sequel was in the making. I also wish there were more skins to unlock and it would be cool if the single player was more extensive. I'm not talking about story, but a possibility of playing against bots in every mode. Overall, though, I'm a fan of this game. I think it's great.

    That being said - it was insultingly small at launch and the price for the content was ridiculous. The price became reasonable only at a significant discount. With all DLCs it feels decent in size, but unfortunately the playerbase was divided into those have only the base game, those having the fully DLC-ed game and those having only selected DLCs. This makes it difficult to find a match sometimes.

    Finally added the DLC to this over the weekend (the "ultimate edition" was available through XBox Games with Gold for six bucks, so I figured I'd gamble the price of a decent beer on the extra content.)

    I didn't think it was possible for SW: Battlefront to irritate me more than it already did. "And yet, it happened!"

    As with the rest of the game, the DLC content is gorgeous to look at. It's actually getting to look at it that's the real trick here. Load times, already interminable with the base game, are even longer when loading a DLC match. And, as usual, those of us who lack the time and/or motivation to play the game constantly end up getting very quickly picked off by those who do obviously do play the thing constantly. So, as expected, the DLC ends up being reduced to the same dull-as-dishwater "spawn-die-spawn-die-spawn-die-spawn-die-spawn-die-spawn-die" experience that the regular game is. Maybe someday I'll see the last stages of the multi-stage DLC - haven't gotten that far yet.

    And for those of us who don't have much use for the multiplayer thing, it appears that EA didn't even bother to add the DLC maps to skirmish mode. So the DLC overall ends up adding significantly less overall value than I had expected.

    Again, fortunately I only laid out six bucks for all the DLC content, so from a financial standpoint it's like trying a guest-tap beer that doesn't quite cut it. Still in all, what a goddamned shame that EA buried such great map and vehicle designs behind such a pointlessly dull and frustrating gaming experience.

    As cool as SW Battlefront II looks, I'm probably going to end up passing on it unless I start hearing that EA made it a helluva lot more accessible to casual/occasional players than what they did with the first game.

    And meanwhile, here we are almost five years after Disney acquired LFL and the Star Wars franchise, and more than four years after EA got their exclusive on all SW games, and by year's end we'll have gotten two versions of the same boring-ass game, and MAYBE sometime next year we'll finally get the Visceral game. Oy...

    Well, at least we've got the movies.

    The situation is even worse on PC because you can barely ever find a match playing the DLC. I bought it a couple months ago on sale and only played a fraction of the maps.

    Yeah, I noticed that too. I was waiting for a good five minutes or so for the server to match me up with an Outer Rim Blast mode match, and when it finally did connect me up with one, there were only three of us on one side and two on the other.

    And that's on XBox One.

    It LOOKS like Star Wars, that's for sure. I just wish the damned thing was actually fun to play.

    Just a heads-up that Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition including all DLC is now on sale on the PSN UK store for the ridiculously cheap price of just £3.99.

    If anyone's not got it but felt it was over-priced or just curious to play it, I don't foresee it ever being any cheaper. Sure the game may be shallow, it may be mostly online, but at under £4 it's more than worth it for even just a few hours fun. There's no denying it looks and sounds incredible, I've had far more than four quid's worth of fun just on offline Walker Assault that's for sure. My son bought it last night at his mum's place so we can play online multiplayer together this evening.

    To put it into perspective, it's basically the same price as an Amazon Marketplace second hand cartridge-only copy of Yoda Stories on the Gameboy Colour including shipping... (yoda)

    Since the update this past month, I'm loving BF2 way more. Started to get a little bored, just wish there were some more interesting Career challenges. Seems a tad monotonous

    I second my own post haha - with the 'Solo' update. Having Extraction now for multiplayer is rad even though I'm really bad at it currently. Is anyone else having problems receiving their milestone career goal points through this specific gameplay though?
