Did someone beat you in the game fairly and you're upset? Was it not bugged or due to lag or a hack and it made you cry? Then please fill out this form and follow it's instructions for sending to the appropriate people.
Btw, since I pretty much only play hero starfighters now ans have unlocked all, I always let the system select a random hero star fighters so that when you play with me you have more choices! Enjoy

I’ve had this happen, the game gets stuck when quiting out of a lobby and looks like it is constantly loading. If this is what you mean then I noticed this happened to me when quiting before the next round/map loaded. If you still have this happen then wait until the continue button loads up for the next match, then quit out, might help prevent from happening again. I haven’t had it occur since doing so.
Hes currently writing a community transmission on it.
I had called for a 33% damage nerf to the ion torpedo so 40% isn’t too far off. A single heavy should not be able to take down a AT-ST with ease which is what I had been doing constantly over the past couple months. I’m hoping this change makes it so the AT-ST is hurting bad after getting hit, they can either try to retreat and recharge or go full assault. It should be a team effort to take them down though. Starfighters shouldn’t have to constantly be dodging ion torpedos either, I don’t play starfighters though in GA and don’t know how troubling it can be.
I've been doing this lately and 90% of the time I don't have the issue with the black screen. Most of the time when I do have an issue it is when leaving Arcade mode.
If EA actually understood basic business strategy they wouldn't be in this position in the first place.

For 40,000 each corps
Anybody see a bundle button?
Crate menu
ARC Troopers would't be appropriate to balance the addition of Droidekas. They were not infantry, they were covert special forces who didn't fight on the battlefront and, more often than not, worked alone. Granted they were walking killing machines, much like the Droideka, but deploying them like the regular soldiery would not be a wise decision.
The Jedi's inappropriate deployment of Clone special forces is what lead to the death of over half the available Commando units at the first battle of Geonosis.
That said, Commando units operated in squads of four and did tend to have more interaction with regular GAR forces in battle zones. Since the game already has a four-player squad system it would make more sense for Commandos to counter new additions to the CIS faction. Portable shield generators are no match for superior strategy.

And there're not showing advancement at the end of the round neither.
Grievous in october
Obi-Wan in november.
Dooku and Anakin later this winter.
2) Random crashing - check.
3) Empty lobbies continue - check.
4) Era selection missing - check.
5) Sound issue - check.
6) I can see that NONE of the things Ben Walke stated has been fixed. NONE.
Congrats to DICE/EA for making up that entire list of fake news in the CT. They did increase the number of crashes to games played. BF2 has now crashed 13 times, found 17 empty lobbies and haven't found a single game of any mode in three hours.
Fixed an issue where Ion Torpedoes were too strong against vehicles
Really!! finally had an answer to strafing runs and other vehicles! Half the time they miss your ground target all together. Completely not needed. a simple lowering of the cost of vehicles would have sufficed. If anyone has not yet noticed, good players have already found ways to counter torpedoes. bad idea dice
<<Implemented Clone Wars tile in the Home screen to increase the possibility for matchmaking on Galactic Assault for Clone Wars – era maps.>>
^ Total LIE. This doesn't appear.
No, there was plenty of other ways to counter before the unneeded buff.
The tile is there.
Says galactic assault on it.
@Juuuushy I think you can only change the appearance right before the match starts. while it's great that they added this, I think it should be something you can change anytime you need to respawn, just like weapons, classes, etc.
That's what I meant! It wasn't even an option on that version of the menu. Sorry for any confusion. I can't change it anywhere but the main menu.
Edit - I've discovered I am an ****. It is there.
Unacceptable garbage. I mean how misguided do you have to be to let this continue? Yeah, it's just payback form EA for going against their loot crate cash grab.
I'm done with EA games, good luck with that bfv trash. I'm lovin' those bfv preorder sales down 85% behind blops 4. EA said "if you don't like it don't buy it", yep we aren't.
I agree. The ATSTs will again rule the objective on Mos Eisley, Yavin, Takodana, and Craite.. also the speeders will continue to mindlessly be able to just run people over with no problems. I keep hearing “play as a team” well everyone right now is playing officer for points or specialists for bubble melees. There are never heavies playing the vehicles. No chat to ask for heavies so you’re just doomed.
I agree @mega8deth8 . My biggest issue is that you can't speak to any squadmates or other team members unless you're already friends on the console system you're using. What is the point of a squad if you can't speak with them? They should really change the system to allow players, even if they're not friends, to be able to speak/coordinate with each other.
And please don't take a month to fix.
Also please add arcade gamemodes.
Lol.
Ion toroedo will take half their health or more.
Use sentry to finish them off.
Or use specialist with nt-242.
Not that hard to counter them.
Learn.
Maybe I missed it - when the heroes in GA became cheaper (4500 instead of 600 and 6000 instead of 8000)? I guess heroes must have some sort of limit in time, because if someone who is good with heroes (as well as someone bad, but who will hide in the rear) takes a hero - he will not die very long, and in this time many players will just sit in the lobby and wait until a hero dies. I guess there must be done something with those "waiters" or just limit heroes in time (like AT-AT as example), because heroes are now easier to achive.
And bug report: when playing as specialist in GA with standart Infiltration - I wasn't able to see enemies on the radar
For the new clone skins first I think everyone is excited about them cause Clone Trooper skins are awesome but some slight adjustments to make them more accurate would go a long way! I worry that the developers are more worried with making all classes look the same (not a big concern for players in my experience) for whatever reason then making the new skins make sense.
1. The 41st Elite Corps skin for the Specialist should have the Scout Armor Head (even the Imperial Scout would do as it already exists and for a Specialist class none the less) in the camo style which would be a direct grab from Revenge of the Sith, this is a no brainer and can't believe this wasn't already the case as that is the most seen armor from this group in the movie. The pants and color scheme are a bit off for all of the classes but I don't think that is a huge issue for most if other things were taken into account. And in that same vein why not give us Clone Commander Armor in that style for the officer as part of the package which folks have been dying for?!?! You could make the 41st Officer skin look like Commander Gree from Revenge of Sith again giving us an awesome new armor without creating a new hero. This rewards the fanbase with the clone commanders they want without throwing off the Hero/Villain Balance and forcing developers to come up with new skill sets for all these commanders. I haven't seen yet if the 41st armor looks accurate with the Phase 1 armor yet but it should just be the Green markings and not the camo so hope that happened or if not make that change.
2. The 327th Star Corps all the classes should have the armor accents the Specialist does to make it look movie accurate, which looks fantastic, with just the differing helmet coloring and effects per class to differentiate them. Then same with the officer clone commander armor just grab a screenshot of Commander Bly and let us have that! Real easy changes that would have made these additions an A instead of just a B/B-
All this could be copied for the future Clone Skins per different corps you have planned especially with the officer armor, and attention to detail when crafting them for the different classes would go a long way. I think the only actual heroes you might consider from the Clone Commander ranks are Rex and Cody as they played the largest role in both The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith. You could then use the officer skins in the 501st and 212th groups for people like Appo and Gregor/Waxer that played critical roles in either ROS or Clone Wars. This despite my love for several other officers (Wolffe, Gree, Thorn, Fordo) they could all just be skins for the Officer without too much of a pushback as long as it looked accurate. Then give us Asajj Ventress and Savage Opress to keep the light/dark balance when adding the 2 clone heros or any number of darkside villains from Clone Wars or the prequel era (Cade Bane, Darth Sidious, Aurra Sing, etc...). I don't feel like any of this is breaking the bank on redevelopment or even a huge change from that side but would greatly improve the reaction from fans that weren't as thrilled with the skins as we wanted to be.
Excited for the future releases and that they are finally giving us great skins and content from the Clone Wars era!!!
We have a chat on PC but it's completely useless as 80% of the topics are about calling players "noob" or "cheater"... Nobody cares about what unit is more needed on the battlefield or what you request for. Trust me, you don't want the chat anytime soon.
And by the way, the new squad system will possibily encourage people to play together so if you use your torpedoes combined with your teammates' weapons, you can take down AT-ST quite easily. I just destroyed 4 of them on one round and I'm far from being a good player.
