Launching the new mode with just CW?
Big misstep if so. Especially after delays.
Will this be updated or are we left to assume CW/PT only to start?
If OT maps and ships aren’t coming it would be nice to know.

Or two maps (Naboo and Geonosis). I think we can all agree that we can rule out Mos Eisley as a possibility.
What the ROADMAP should look like for 2019/2020:
“Season” 4: Episode IX
“Season” 5: Rogue One
My Roadmap prediction actually was correct! Who would have thought it?!
At least its new content!

With how many complaints every little thing they say brings, would you say anything other than the absolute minimum?

The reddit will still eat it up.
Don’t think it has anything to do with that to be honest. It’s more likely just an industry tactic to generate hype and anticipation.
I think their skin is thick enough. Money is the decision driver.
....to what ends?
Under normal circumstances to keep people interested, spending money.
In a toxic environment such as this, your guess is as good as mine.
Been playing Battlefield since ‘03 in BF1942... a time when most agreed the PT was trash. Now it appears the PT will be the featured era, and likely the only one from the start. My interest level is falling fast.

Same deal here. There’s not much of me left.
You do realise that the average age for video games is around 15-28, right? That's the largest demographic of video gamers online. Naturally, this age group would have grown up around the CW trilogy, therefore it will be more in demand than OT and ST.
Not only that PT has bigger battles, more iconic characters(as in there are more of them) as well as having bigger and more popular actors in the film industry.
Same old boring argument. I grew up with the PT and I’m sick to death of it. Bring on the OT and ST content.
Same here.
That's what happens when you release one dlc drop over a years time.
avg gamer age is mid to high 30's.

That Specialist rework was disappointing.
^^This^^ Yet we are told the development is progressing well. Really? Where is Mustafar and Coruscant? Were told porting SWBF 15 maps would take time away from creating "new" maps. Where are these new maps? 1 map every 9 months with 2 or 3 modes, one being Blast, is a failure.
I prefer OT but I would be glad to have some Extraction, SA, GA, DZ, Cargo and HvV matches on those CW planets. If the mode is good then the era doesn't really play a factor for me like it might for others but to release the bare minimum with little communication for a good portion of this games life so far leaves a great deal to be desired.
Emote wheels, broken heroes, clone skins and a large mode with 1 map does not provide any incentive for me to keep playing this game for any length of time going forward. For myself it has nothing to do with CW, it is the lack of new and or ported maps and no new blasters/weapons as to why my time spent with game continues to decline.
Pretty much this. I’d have no problem with CW maps and content if it wasn’t the only thing we were getting for months on end. The faucet trickle rate their coming out, just makes it worse. If things were mixed up and coming out faster, I would hardly care at all.
After months of backlash and hate, they looked desperate for some praise and latched on to the Reddit/YT bubble that cheered for them. And the result is an endless drip of content from the same era for NINE months now.
Or... 35

But when you look at it logistically, DICE is going to have to create two entirely new maps for the empire and rebel flagships. That’s a lot of work for a company so underfunded.
Actually the average age of gamers is 35-40, so you are wrong.
Also, I like the PT but:
- More iconic characters?!
- Bigger and more popular actors?!
Behave mate. Remember what started it all and what is seen as the best by the majority, and the most iconic? Oh yeah, the original trilogy. Widely seen as best SW film and one of the best films ever? The Empire Strikes Back. Just remember PT wouldnt exist if it werent for the original trilogy.
Not all people in the 15-28 age group like CW/PT
I think still most people agree the PT is garbage. Its the social media/YouTube bubble.
Would not agree on that, but I can understand that more than one era should be included when the mode releases..
Guess they are currently looking into how to find a balance between number of eras available and number of maps. Since they e.g. will most likely not be able to take something like Endor to this new mode easily (due to the high amount of rendering for the forest that would be needed)

No I do agree that this amount of content should have been in maybe 2 drops maximum. The slow content drip is sickening. But it’s been going on far too long. Time to stretch out and drip feed us another era, if that’s even in the cards at this point.
The last statement isn’t exactly valid though. The roles could’ve been reversed and the PT could’ve come first and it still wouldn’t be valid. The other statement are pretty true, but saying that remember it came first is not really a valid argument.

But it didn't come first. And the OT did. So technically it is valid
Good point but still a huge downer.

I'm sure it was originally done to create interest in the new CW series. As someone very against the CW even existing I'll be honest and say I was tempted to have a look at the new series when clone trooper content and grevious etc dropped....
But with the constant being forced to play CW maps, never ending content drops on CW content and all 'events' centred around CW for months I think I can say I am sick to the back teeth of the whole thing.
I will not be watching new CW series ... I shall be avoiding it like the plague.
It's been done to death so much now I think even CW fans have had enough of it. If that is true what they have done is lost CW it's fans. Brilliant 😂
"not clone wars therefore no good"
Ok pal first up, this isn’t the Reddit bubble.

Yeah no one is being ignored
They should have known when they started development on the new mode that releasing a new large scale mode for just one era was not a good idea. 1 map per era would have been the best way to do it. Either that or release it with the bare minimum and promise to change that the following month with at least 1 map for the OT and 1 for the ST. They already had assets and references on maps for ST and OT at some point.
I would say let's wait for the CT and see, but I feel like we won't be surprised for the better.
