I do not get the clamoring for offline modes. SW:BF is no different than most shooters these days, with a focus on online play.

I would FAR rather play humans in online competition in SW:BF than slog through the endless grind of slaying hundreds of brainless AI bots in offline modes of Destiny, which for me is the most overrated game of this generation -- by a mile.

SW:BF is not an RPG. It's not a stealth adventure game. It's a shooter, pure and simple. And shooters are best played online against other humans or with other humans in co-op.

Agree on all counts. Although I do love me some Co-Op online play against AI - like R6 Terrorist Hunt.

Another patch was available today with the buffing and nerfing of some weapons. Luke seems to be as strong as Vader now and you can now jet jump with your shield on. Rumours of more additions tomorrow? May the 4th be with you.

If you play today you will be credited 4.444 points and a new trait card can be uncovered called 'Bacta a Bomb'. It heals you as well as your teammates when thrown properly.

No dice here. Band practice. Maybe after I get home.

Have fun!

I've only played it once, but I'd be interested to try it, if there's room.

I've been playing Blast mode for an a hour or two before EA hockey on Friday and Saturday nights for the last couple of months so I will definitely be available for private matches if there is enough.

We could play in a squad if there's not enough for private match tonight.

I'll look for you cats after midnight (ET) tonight. I should be in peak form after band practice, so get your ear muffs ready. :)

Midnight? You'll probably see me and Vader playing with the Dragons by then unless we can really get it going til then. Yes, it would be so much fun with you, keep rehearsing 'Tragedy' XXXIV loves it... 8)
