Enjoying it, beautiful game! Sniper rifle fully charged is the one.
Anyone up for Co-op missions?

starting to see a few cheaters now, guys without "Pulse Scan" running straight for you in a room, when I'm well out of the way when I'm running the "Scout" talent and totally off the radar by not running or shooting. Seen it quite a few times tonight on the smaller maps, the excuses are brilliant.
Yeah something unusual alright. Not sure if it's just cheaters though. One round, I finished stop, my first, first place! Next round I got zero kills. Zero! I was playing the exact same, hitting them repeatedly but absolutely nobody died, feels very wrong.
Getting sick of the 100 kills assists too, if I do 100 damage to someone why are they not dead?

Unfortunately another reason why I don't really want to buy the game, with it being star wars and the type of game it is, I can see it being very popular with loads of younger people i.e. kids. With the lack of a proper server browser + admin'd servers, there isn't anything you can do other than hope fairfight and punkbuster catch them regularly....

Nothing changed from the beta then. DICE need to take a zero tolerance approach and start banning accounts. As soon as they do that I might have some confidence in their games.

Pro's:
1. Star wars down to a T, looks feels and sounds like it.
2. Graphics, great.
3. Simple to pick up and play.
Cons:
1. Netcode/ hosting, I mean seriously WTF, its awful.
2. Heroes. Remove them, Boba Fett has ruined every single game ive played.
3. This needs a hardcore mode, im sick of having to put so many rounds into enemies that theyve got time to turn round, see where its coming from so they can find a convenient piece of cover to walk to and return fire.
4. Just isnt really 'fun' to play. Had no moments where its been an intense battle for the cap, a struggle to defend or anything. Its just rinse repeat.

Weirdly I saw tons of ppl getting FF bans in the BETA, not seen one since I've been playing and I'm now at lvl21.
Think scan pulse shows to everyone on your team when activated - or atleast its working that way quite often. There are definitely some people cheating through.
Also I don't think the scout talent hides you from scan pulse or again if its supposed to its often failing though sometimes I see people who are using it and not shown by scan pulse but its the except rather than the rule. (Took me a little while to work out why some people weren't shown - had thought it was because they had just spawned after the pulse but seems like its the scout talent.
That is partly due to the "netcode" - when hits are connecting properly I can kill people with 1/3rd the amount of shots the damage feedback is ridiculously poor at times.
I've seen a fair few bans - was a whole burst of them around 3am 2 nights ago and atleast 2-3 an hour when I've been playing the last 2 days. Not quite the level of bans that was seen in the beta yet though.

Scan pulse doesn't scan the whole map though Roff mate, its just like a recon sensor ball in bf4, only shows about 30 feet or whatever it is around you. reason why it's dodgy as I was using the scan, the person that kept hunting me down in obscure places wasn't running the scan card and he was the only one anywhere close to me.....I was trying to catch him out 
I've been in a match were someone was unkillable due to a glitch. Something happened when the player was blown up in a vehicle which them rendered them immune to damage. The player mentioned it in chat and just stood around letting people shoot him to show he was glitched.
Sadly, I reckon most would exploit this until it gets fixed and luckily I've only seen this happen once but I know others have experienced it.

Just had a really weird glitch where blast mode was at 99/95 or something then trying to shoot someone did no damage at all and they kept teleporting back to the same spot after a couple of seconds then suddenly it was like 2 games merged and score was back at something like 47/63 :S remember that happening very infrequently with BF4 fairly early on after release but got fixed - can't believe same bug is still in there.

yup, tried another couple of matches, this game is ****ing guff.
So disappointing.

You expected it to be any different?
EA aren't interested in making games with any longevity or depth, they want the consumers cash for least amount of effort with a view to knocking out the next title asap.
That's pretty much how they've operated since Medal of Honor 2010
And who now remembers that god-awful title for anything good?

Played beta medal of honor, no buy.
played beta sw battlefront,no buy.
coming game from dice seems likely a no buy on default.
they really need to skip the console kid design but as long it makes a ton of money, shrugs

its a fun game and it looks amazing
only things bugging me are
1. Xwings / Ties - get shot down on spawn (spawn too near the battlefield)
2. they broke the xwing / tie controls since the beta (having to use mouse sensitivity switches to get any control at all)
3. Turret and vehicle sensitivity are the same control
4. Cant choose a server based on ping (had a few connections with terrible lag)
5. homing shot is a bit annoying (but not too overused so ill forgive for now)
6. laggy score window at end of match is annoying and slow
7. had a bit of ususal Dice 1 hit killed / hammer the other bloke and he takes 0 DMG hit reg / netcodey stuff
8. Rounds far too short (win conditions too low?) on some modes, end up playing for 2 mins a round before it ends = Lobby game
9.cant talk rubbish on the text chat when match ends
10. spawn killing is a bit of a problem - cant chose where to spawn so got constant spawn killed on one match last night over and over
fix that dice and it will be more fun!

^^ 9 makes me laugh a properly working ingame chat is one of the most basic features of a multiplayer game and Dice Stockholm can't even get that right... (or can't be bothered to) - typical of their attitude of "its mostly working" commit, forget - and then you get bugs where you kill yourself tripping over your own feet... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xx8cwDWhU8
They do nice graphics but EA should know by now not to let them anywhere near actual gameplay mechanics.

I'm honestly really enjoying this game. It looks beautiful, plays brilliantly and is damned authentic.
The cockpit controls for the star fighters is very difficult to manage and frankly I can't get my head around it but the sheer loveliness of using a blaster to take down a storm trooper on HOTH for crying out loud is too lush to comprehend.
