While it's pretty hard to satisfy people of all taste, Dice has been pretty cool about altering and mixing things up in the past, whether some Hero characters were too weak or certain blasters too powerful.

According to some tweets from the producers, modes like Droid Run (one of my favourites) will be included in a future update in Death Star.

Also currently Blast goes quite fast among twelve players on each side trying to reach 100, and looks like they'll look into that as well. More infantry battles is what I want.

As I posted earlier, 'b*tch and you shall receive'... :twisted:

If you want to level up, it's double XP weekend.

Battle across four new maps on the tropical planet of Scarif. Play as two new heroes Jyn Erso and Orson Krennic, and blast opponents in a brand new multi-stage game mode with new weapons and Star Cards.

I got the Season Pass during the Origin BF sale. Those maps and modes are great. I still suck especially at dog fighting but sure is a lot of fun.

I absolutely love the game. The last DLC was meh but I will be all over Rogue for sure. It took a bit of a backseat lately because of BF1, TF2, Gears 4 and Infinite Warfare for me, but I really look forward to the next four maps.

Just a heads up for those that bought the season pass. After the update, you may see that none of the previous maps are installed. It prompts you to instead download it from the store. Weird. Bespin is still showing as "not installed for me..."

The update is much better than the last DLC Deathstar. Game looks gorgeous when I have HDR on, I even enjoy flying now. At times I just feel like I am fighting in the islands of Hawaii. Stay clear of the bushes. 8)

I suck at the space battles, i mean I spawn fly for 20 seconds die. I'd just as soon skip those parts of the game but you need to play them in that one mode.

I really liked the maps for Rogue One it was fun, what little I played last night.

Watched Rogue One with the family today. 'Infiltration' does a fine job reproducing Scarif in the latest DLC.

Prayers for Carrie Fisher.

Enjoy this very short trailer because EA is taking it our from most sites as it was supposed to be shown only in Orlando next week during the Star Wars celebrations. The short video suggests to me that there will be prequel and sequel trilogy characters such as D. Maul, Yoda, K. Ren and even Rey. Many fans weren't totally blown away with the original title due the lack of story telling in terms of offline play, but obviously BF2 will include that. I wouldn't be surprised if the next game doesn't include a more compelling narrative story and based on the last second of the video, looks like extra content perhaps on the "Last Jedi" if you pre-order.

I guess we'll find out more this weekend but I will pre-ordering for sure and still play it on my rotation.

I loved the game but it didn't take off with my BF group at all so a solo or better co-op mode would be great. Rumor has it Bioware Austin has been working on a SW title for a few years now. Also that another studio is as well, that would be nice. Every time I play X-com I can help but think man would I love a SW version of this tactical combat.

I still play through all of the original maps on blast once or twice every weekend and will probably continue up until the new game is released.
