I saw my first cheater earlier today too. He was trying to be a bit subtle till someone called him on it, had some sort of auto-aim and damage hack. Was 1-shotting everyone with default rebel blaster, including heroes, mid-air shots, etc.

Ran into this a bit ago, on Walker Assault. I had a run as Boba Fett and died in a split second to the starting rebel rifle when I had 2/3rd health to this guy. Most people on imperials just left the game afterwards, and maybe a 1/3rd on his side as well. Frustrating, but best just to report and leave - hit ESC, click on scoreboard, click on the player, and there's a little arrow with Report this Player a bit to the right of the player profile picture.

Yea leia isn't big points but contributes a lot to holding a point. Power-up spam and a strong shield, and you can shoot through it. Best setup is a nice long approach for them so you're out of grenade range, then you just hit your left blaster thing and calmly 1-shot them as they try to rush forward. Palpatine is great for flanking and his lightning will 1-shot big groups of guys. He also does a lot of hero damage if you can come at someone while they're distracted. Luke/Vader are great for clearing interiors, your aoe abilities and general tanky-ness let you pretty much walk through them, then people behind secure it.


Leia is so great on Walker Assault I feel like she should always be picked unless your team is doing fine with holding the uplinks. I enjoy Luke/Vader but it depends so much on the Walker Assault map or section of map whether you can be effective at all, or just opening up yourself to easy potshots. I had a match on Endor as imperial and picked Vader, but it was at the second set of uplinks and I had no good spot to go; rebels have the high ground and easy access to it at that. Though on the rebel side I had a great run as Luke defending Uplinks on that map.

I know it's nothing new for online shooters but the whole Star Wars feeling is kind of broken when I get killed seven times in a row by someone named whitemexican25.

Edit: it's not like my name is particularly in world either. I wish there was a random name generator that could make Star Warsy display names for everyone just for this game. That could be some hilarious poo poo.

man, had a perfect confluence of chokepoints in Jundland being harsh and this game's respawns being arse: got a 25 kill streak with Luke, Force Blasting like a dozen Stormtroopers who were all grouped up, picking off the stragglers just by blocking, and then they all respawn a few seconds later a few feet down the canyon and all ate it to the Force again

:black101:

e: let me also take a sec to say, whatever your opinion of the prequels, at least in the previous Battlefront games they mixed it up with the vehicle gameplay. Hopefully future expansions grow it past "an AT-ST stomping on a Rebel face... forever"

I'm stuck at work so I can copy+paste what you got and re-add the markup codes.

I don't get Siets' subtitle, though. Is it a pop song?
