Community Transmission - Where are those Droidekas?

droidekas are nice and all but whats the counter part to that? they have 1 reinforcement more now right?

I'd think of the AT-RT as the counter - and the new tanks are now counters to each other

ShVd0w9 · June 7, 2019 7:36PM

Now the question is whether or not ion shot weapons will deal extra damage to the Droideka's shield. This would also have been a great chance to implement Clone Commandos as the Republic's equivalent to the Droideka.

Unwarycoin · June 7, 2019 7:39PM

Will the new animated victory poses and voice lines be available outside the community events?

zakdude100 · June 7, 2019 7:47PM

"This iconic look comes out of the crucible of The Clone Wars animated series from Anakin’s many fights throughout the galaxy."

If that's so then please please please please, pay attention to his hair length from the Clone Wars Animated series in his General Skywalker armour. You know how finicky we can be.

Everything else in this post looks perfect 😏 I can't wait

Commander_CT_135 · June 7, 2019 7:53PM

Well er um uh how do I say this. WHERE ARE THE NEW Weapons! Very happy with the droideka being added. the tank will be probably be my new vehicle main if I’m playing as the republic and have enough BP. I like the general Skywalker skin. The scout skins will probably be my new specialist mains. Disappointed that the GA map for Naboo is being reused for CS( I wanted the plains to be CS.) somewhat sad that Felucia is being not being added in this update( but I’m still excited to play on it, maybe I will be the 327th star corps skins just to use on this map.) no Coruscant is sad even more sadder is that no hint or tease for Coruscant to be added later on. No clone commandos makes me mad. Nothing for arcade makes me sad since my Xbox live gold subscription just ended and I don’t have enough time to go out and buy another month right now. I can live without Ahsoka and Ventress unlike a friend of mine who read this CT. But where are the new weapons, I mean at the very least you can tease it but no, we have to use the same old stuff we had for a year and a half. Sorry for my long rant I still think that dice is still doing a half decent job dispite some of their problems

Hesha · June 7, 2019 7:56PM

So what happened to clone commandos....

Don't quote the whole post, holy [removed].

we play to add new ways to play epic battles, for players who want something besides traditional PvP.

Hmm, new Arcade modes? Or maybe Co-Op modes?

Probably and hopefully online co-op, private matches and offline conquest plus more arcades modes. I honestly wouldn’t mind an whole update focus on arcade if it’s good.

Yes a third 212 legion is needed and more 501st legions pls and 21st

UnloosedLobster · June 7, 2019 8:30PM

Awesome, new maps and droidekas will be great. Hopefully we can now get some new extraction maps sorted in the next roadmap.

Nice updates but sadly lacks Trooper content.

I assume you mean new weapons as there are two new skins for troopers. I do wish we could get new weapons or a way to mod the weapons more.

New weapons, Star Card Pass and attachments for basic weapons. Also removal or reinforcements in Blast or at the very least increase BP or reduce DPS on their basic fire.

PO1977 · June 7, 2019 8:36PM

Just to put it out there:

ARF Phase 1

ARF Phase 2

Scout

So please consider this carefully...

KaPowaFie · June 7, 2019 8:42PM

Please do mustafar, coruscant, utapau next!!! 😍😭 im happy ur adding Felicia! And yes for capital supremacy!!! Reminds me of the originals! Lastly add in maps from OT so can also play capital supremacy on those also and play as OT heroes now for them! Fetts definitely my favorite. As a wish for any heroes to come I'd hope Jango came. (I can argue his play style wouldn't be like Boba if you build him right and he will be just B.A. in the right hands. I'm not sure too much for the hero side tho if not mace.

KaPowaFie · June 7, 2019 8:44PM

There's no reason to cancel the game when 2019 passes! Trust me!! As long as you add maps content skins heroes! Different modes. People will start to come back in large numbers!!! Don't give up EA on this game! There's so much i still want to see in it! 🙏😭

Ryan22sp · June 7, 2019 8:48PM

Rogue One Content.

Full Scale War.

Medics.

Real Death troopers

More Cover

Lean Out Shooting

Sam3S · June 7, 2019 8:51PM

WojtaZz97 · June 7, 2019 9:15PM

Does old 41 ranger will be romoved or stay? Please let them stay i know its not so canon but they looks cool

ChickenBoi2507 · June 7, 2019 9:22PM

I actually cried when i saw the droideka animation gif...it look so good compared to the movies...cant wait to role out on the battlefront as a freaking droideka!!!

I’d be okay with the price increase (especially since they lowered it for the Infiltrators) but not the removal.

GarthRevan · June 7, 2019 9:27PM

PLEASE bring at least 2 new Maps incl FELUCIA to Galactic Assaults. PLEASE.

PS: Droidekas look awesome and skills seem to be great

Oidmetala · June 7, 2019 9:31PM

If you bring Felucia as a playable map, then you have to bring Aayla Secura too.
Even when she is an unpupular character, but that's her planet on the movies

My disappointed is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
No weapons, no weapons and also no weapons.
I honestly couldn't care less about all of this. That's definitely because I'm an original trilogy and original trilogy era fan. I absolutely hate the prequel era and prequel trilogy. The sequel trilogy and sequel era I can stand but the prequel era I can't stand.
Now I know the only original era content we will have had is two maps from the previous game, a small (but fantastic) map from the solo movie, and quite a few skins. And from the prequel era - 3 large maps, a ton of infantry skins, some hero skins, 4 heroes, 4 new vehicles, 4 new reinforcements, a new game mode specifically for that era and there's probably a few more things I left out.
But really it's sad that I have come to the realization that Battlefront 2015 is light years better than this one.
At least could have given some weapons. I would have been happy with some weapons or just one.
I've been playing since the beta and it gets only been getting sadder and sadder.
But if they add a Hoth Capital Supremacy map then all is forgiven a.d forgotten. I'll start playing insane amounts of hours on this game again.

Ugh! People like you give star wars fans a bad name. the OT had a whole game to itself and more content in BF 2 than the PT and ST. lets us PT fans have our time we deserve it, especially since the content is far superior to the ST, hell even aspects of the OT.

also BF1 is terrible compared to 2. OT based or not.

LittleAni · June 7, 2019 9:33PM

Was wondering when you guy's would add ani's clone war appearance good job!

This is where the fun begins

Alwe15 · June 7, 2019 9:45PM

I thought I would post my opinion for the Community Transmission released today ☺

Overall, I am excited for the content being released and feel that the development team have listened to a number of requests.

There have been multiple requests for new locations to play on rather than "rehashed" GA maps and with Felucia this will be delivered. Personally, I would have preferred Coruscant, Utupau or Mustafa but with the graphics engine this game has, I think Felucia will look beautiful.

The introduction of Droidekas is a welcome surprise following the "crashed speeder" debacle and perhaps, in hindsight, just admitting that Droidekas were taking a little longer and might not be released would have been a better approach than claiming the player base have eyesight problems...however, I am very excited to be playing one of my favourite unit types from the Prequel Trilogy.

Finally, for positives I anticipate good news for the offline crowd and hopefully some real dedication to making decent offline modes. This game will not last online forever so knowing that an offline fallback is in development is encouraging.

For the negative, I would say that the CT is disappointing for the Weapon, Trooper, Starfighter and Extraction crowds. It comes as a real shame to me that SFA & HSFA have had no development for a considerable time so I have a lot of sympathy for those who also want Weapon and Trooper content and new Extraction maps...

Finally, what has really irritated me in the Forum community response is the repetitive "my era isn't represented". In all honesty the only era fans that can truly say this is Sequel Trilogy fans, however I would expect content for them in the not-too-distant future.

As for OT, not only is there considerable representation for it in the playable Heroes, maps and modes but the entire 2015 game was dedicated to the OT only! I'm not necessarily telling you to go play it but clearly this game is heavily weighted to PT, or at least for a year or so...

Anyway, I appreciate any constructive conversation so feel free to respond and start a discussion going 👍🏼

Edit: change of planet name.

ELIMELECH0401 · June 7, 2019 9:47PM

"As we move through the summer we play to add new ways to play epic battles, for players who want something besides traditional PvP. We’ll have more to share on this later in the year."

Can't wait and thanks.

For everyone asking for specific things, keep in mind we'll be back in August with more info.

OcDoc · June 7, 2019 9:51PM

I don’t really care about the eras either. I just care about the gameplay and anything that helps the game feel fresh and new while maintaining a high level of the fun factor.

Thank you and I know you said you will. But we have heard this before. It's just constant disappointment when all eras are blatantly ignored every single update. Can you please just confirm whether or not there will be focus on other eras than CW in your August update? Just manage our expectations a little better. That's all. Please

PT content aka prequel trilogy content which is the main focus of this game because Felucia and Driodekas are from the movies and ST will probably get content early next year.

ELIMELECH0401 · June 7, 2019 9:57PM

I hope the new modes work in split screen.

Kaatunzim · June 7, 2019 9:59PM

People are so ungrateful, DICE is doing his best to improve the game, I know that new weapons have been promised for a long time, but so far we've waited, so what's the cost of waiting a little longer? I'm sure this year some weapon will come in the game.

Thanks DICE, keep up the great work.

Yes I know.
Why have OT and PT maps been added to CS in a game across ALL eras? I'm not interested in them promoting Thier next series or movie. Make the bloody game. That's all.

Driodekas will bring very little to gameplay. And I can't take that planet seriously either when it sounds like a sex act.

His best? So why no maps from OT and ST for CS? Why no extra extraction maps? This is BASIC

Instead another droid which will do nothing for gameplay and a planet nobody needs or has asked for.... Iv seen one thread.

Get your tongue out of there and make these people accountable.

Please please add republic commandos! You have no idea how badly us republic commandos fans would love this and as you have stated before they would be a perfect counterpart to the Droideka!

KNIGHTDUDE · June 7, 2019 10:54PM

If the droidekas get added plz for the love of grace don’t make them overpowered like in the old days make them a possible kill instead of so insane like anakin was that u want to avoid it also plz add those darn commandos they were the best

If we’re lucky, we’ll get a CS map for the galactic civil war era, such as Endor, Hoth, or Scariff

I was kind of hoping to see Coruscant, but I'll take Felucia!

yeah, why not coruscant?

I would think that Coruscant is really high up there on their list of potential planets to add, but maybe they chose Felucia to give us something completely different from anything else we've seen. Pretty colors!

well... coruscant would have been actually something we haven't seen. What we have seen over and over are planets with lots of environmental stuff (like endor, yavin4) and big open maps (like Kashyyyk, Geonosis, crait) and now they are delivering such a design again? Come on ....

Furthermore, there are definitely way more popular planets than Felucia I would imagine.... Coruscant, Mygeeto, Mustafar, Utapau,....

--
Edit: Coruscant or Mustafar or even Utapau would have allowed for cool fast pace battles introducing us with assets we have never seen before.... Felucia sounds kinda... meh

Well, Theed is a very urban combat, and Coruscant would most likely be similar to Theed. Utapa or Mustafar would be nice though. Even better, Scariff or Sullust

TheMenaceX · June 7, 2019 11:16PM

Prequel era is my favorite era, but I’m fine with getting a lot of stuff in other eras. Everyone’s complaining about no having enough of the Old Trilogy, even though the last battlefront was devoted to it.

pETRoOwL · June 7, 2019 11:36PM

I just want the the stuff they decided to throw out the window from 2015 and some OT skins. Currently, we don't even have the original Luke skin from Battlefront 1 !!! But that doesn't mean I don't want Felucia too

vidovi1995 · June 7, 2019 11:37PM

OMG put Felicia for Galactic Assault. I don't like Capital Supremacy, for me is so boring and long. I prefer Galactic Assault so far. Please do it for GA!!!!!

Well, Mustafar is more iconic than Felucia. But this is a good addition:
- 1 new map.
- Helmets fixed.
- General Skywalker skin.
- Droidekas.
- New tank for clones.

Also summer, hot, warm... Mustafar would be perfect. We need maps and weapons.

And heroes!! If they don't put heroes, HvsV is more boring. Anyway they should out Felucia for GA too, Capital Supremacy is meh.

JAREDUP · June 8, 2019 12:02AM

Ok I'm excited, but what happened to no droidekas? Anyways thanks for doing what the fand wanted. We don't want any SA content, Disney's era needs to die
