The game sounds good, but I'm surprised the beta is so limited. This is the kind of game I'd never buy for PC. So many trolls out there determined to ruin a game.

Saw this today and I'm quite pleased. The plot was good and it left many plot lines open for a bunch of characters to expand on in future movies. I'm going to consider the EU books I love as an alternate universe now because this movie did throw all that away. Its a different time line now. I like that force awakens takes place roughly 35 years after return of the jedi. It briefly touches on some of the events that happened in those years after the original trilogy in casual dialogue. But those casual conversations are mentioning things that could have potentially been movies themselves while not giving any real details about what exactly happened and how the galaxy got into the state that its in. The Force Awakens felt like a reboot of A New Hope without being an actual reboot. I'm looking forward to the next movie.

https://www.humblebundle.com/ This is pretty good bundle. I don't think the $75 for The Division is the best deal tho. But $6 for the first 7 games in this bundle is quite nice. Rayman Origins will keep me busy on my laptop.

Nice thigh gap. That sword looks awesome.

Anyone else watch the new episode last night? Its great to see Mulder and Scully team up again. I love that they went right into an alien technology / government conspiracy.

What server did you get on? I'm making an account sometime later today to see how it plays on my pc. That action camera mode in GW2 isn't all that comfortable to me, but I'm sure its something you get used to.

I saw some clips and it is impressive looking. Those servers tho.. holy crap. For a game that is already been out for years in other countries you'd think they'd know what they'd be doing with the back end of the game. This game would never play on my laptop. lol.

If either of you are on Battlefront the same time as me or my brother (he gets on at different times than me mostly), send either of us a party invite. Even my brother knows this game is best played with a partner you can coordinate with. He said as long as hes not in that one split screen mission he likes to play with his wife, he'll put on his headset and jump into any game mode. Hes even good at fighter squadron.

I tried some more fighter squadron and I just can't seem to get a good feel for it. Its as frustrating for me as jet air superiority was in battlefield 4. It probably wouldn't be so bad if the hero ships were removed tho. The hero ships are completely out of place in this game mode. Someone always gets it at the beginning of the round and stays in that ship until the round is over. Nobody can kill it. If I see the millennium falcon while I'm on the empire team, I stay as far away from it as possible. If the entire team actually tried to take it down at once it might be doable after we all respawn and do it again. It has so much hp and shields that I've only seen it go as low as 1/4 hp before the round ends. And everyone gets killed by that hero ship an almost guaranteed 2 times minimum. It feels like I'm cannon fodder in this mode. After playing more rounds, I've come to the conclusion that they need to remove hero pickups altogether. Keep heros in the game but make them completely rng and have people auto spawn as the hero as a nice surprise. That way everyone has a chance at getting it in every game. As it is now tho, I've still seen the same people get the hero pickup over and over again. A few times I've lucked out and got a hero pickup only to die because it spawned in front of an enemy spawn location. It makes sense that I actually got it tho, because everyone that knows the hero pick up locations knows to stay away from that location apparently.

Thanks for the tips guy. I didn't know homing shot or Ion Torpedo could lock onto air vehicles. That will help alot once I get ion torpedo unlocked. I'll try fighter squadron again for a handful of matches to see if I get better. Even with all these flaws, playing with a friend with communication makes all the difference. I honestly don't want to play this game alone since playing with one of my brothers is 100% more fun since we can strategize and help each other. At least until the partner system screws up and I randomly can't respawn back on my brother because he turned green.. and he dies in at a tunnel entrance we were both holding because I got spawned half way across the map. That is the biggest bug they need to fix asap and its a spawn issue since I can't spawn on my own damn partner. All the spawn issues need to be fixed more than anything else.

After playing for a while and getting to rank 11, I'm quite annoyed with the balance in this game. I mostly stick with drop zone still since its like battlefield domination. I enjoy it, theres no tie fighters instantly spawn killing me and the maps seem pretty balanced. Heres some of my main complaints: 1) DL-44. Seriously? Why hasn't this been nerfed yet? I've seen so many people go 40-9 with this gun in every game mode I play. Sure its only good for close range, but most of the ppl that go 40-9 will hang out inside a cave on larger maps or walk around the edges of the maps waiting for enemies to spawn. They also almost never play the objective because you get a crap ton more xp for combat than you do for objective play. 2) Spawn points. I tried playing supremacy for 1 round. I got into a round half over and on the loosing team. The spawn points.. what the fuck. Instead of giving me a base to spawn at that enemies can't get into, I could only spawn at the one capture point our team had.. and get killed endlessly within a minute of every single spawn. The spawn points aren't even random. I know this because I was picked off by 2 tie fighters 8 times in a row. How the fuck? Seriously? I stopped spawning a couple times so I'd throw their time off. This worked twice for me as I spawned seconds after the tie fighter flew right past me. I almost spawned in it's cockpit. WIthin seconds he swung back around and got me anyway. A couple times the guy crashed and I was able to get around for a while before getting killed almost simultaneously by 7 storm troopers. My brother lucked out and got past them, but the game glitched my partner mode and I couldn't spawn on him.. or anywhere else because I have no choice in spawn locations. I can't play this game mode because of the spawning. 3) Partner mode. I can only choose a partner if I'm in a PSN party with that person. But if I don't choose a partner I'll get randomly teamed up with someone anyway.. So why can't I force that random partner option faster so I have a new spawn point? Instead I have to wait half the match for the game to randomly partner me up so I finally get a new spawn option? And after playing for a hour, my partner would randomly glitch on me. When entering a new match, I'd often loose my partner who I'm in a PSN party with. He'd turn green and I'd loose the partner hand I was running with. Often my partner would get dropped from me and turn into a green friend. I couldn't spawn on him anymore, but he said I was still his partner and could spawn on me. This system is glitched to all hell. I played Medal of Honor with my brother and that was a fire team / partner system also. I didn't have to be in any psn party to partner up and I never lost my partner connection. DICE.. squads or GTFO. 4) Hero pickups / other pickups. If these are going to be random, actually have them be random. They spawn in the same locations all the time. They must be, because I've seen some people on walker assault go 50-4 and those people are the ones I see get the hero pickup twice in one round. "Fuzzybumpkins is now luke skywalker"... again. So random. 5) No Air vehicle counter measures. If we're going to have air vehicles, give us a way to destroy them without having to get in an air vehicle myself. Look above at my spawn point rant. I'd love to not get picked off by expert pilots, but I have no way of actually destroying them. Oh.. but I can get a rng drop that could destroy it.. nope. I even saw a tie fighter destroy a missile turret with no problem and smart rockets always miss. Make homing shot work on them and this can be fixed. 6) Fighter Squadron is only fun for me when I'm dog fighting against the AI. But what happens in reality is I get instant missile killed by a player and theres no dog fighting involved. I'm a decent pilot in BF4, the controls in battlefront are just way to different for me to get a good grasp on. I was good with my tie fighter in the beta, but I can't seem to do a damn thing now. I'm sure I have more complaints, but this is what I can think of off the top of my head. DICE really needs to fix these issues. I do enjoy walker assault and drop zone tho. The game looks beautiful and the maps have life. Theres plants, small animals, ambient sounds (everything Destiny maps lacked).. the battlefront maps have everything I'd expect from DICE.. including all the clipping on small rocks and shrubberies.

Thats good to know about the charges. And I thought it was odd I wasn't getting killed by homing shot when I jumped. Whenever it started locking onto my I kept running and jumping like a rabbit and it'd only kill me about 50% of the time. Once I get the timing down it shouldn't be as bad for me then.

That would make a big difference. I noticed on games where my k/d was higher I got noticeably higher total xp at the end of the round. For me I need to level up to get better gear, I should be going for k/d also but I'd rather sacrifice myself and claim the drop pod to get those last few ticks and when the game than sit back and prolong the fight by camping the pod. I love that pulse cannon now. But they need to nerf the homing shot. Wtf. Half the ppl are using homing shot and DL-44. Now that I have ion cards unlocked I'll try some walker assault tomorrow. This game still feels like it's missing huge potential by not having a campaign. I'm still enjoying it and I'll try out all the game modes, but when the dlc starts coming out and the core maps lose to much population I'll see if I'm still interested enough to buy dlcs or not.

I can unlock the pulse cannon but haven't yet. I used it on my brother's loadout and thought it was weak as hell with a horrible shot delay. After playing for the day I realized its supposed to be charged. lmao. I had no idea. I'll unlock that and go for the SE-14c next. I've only played drop zone and was on a good team that played the objectives. We won numerous matches in a row because the other team never once went for the drop pods.. they just went running around the edges of the map or camped at doorways. It didn't do them any good considering my team kept throwing grenades into every doorway for easy kills and as long as we had 4 ppl defending a pod, me and my bro went and hunted stragglers that were trying to flank us. My team played the objective too good actually. A well placed grenade here or there at a drop pod would have wiped half my team on multiple games.

I got this game yesterday and played about 2-3 hours this morning. I hit rank 6 and bought the impact grenade. I haven't unlocked any of the other blasters yet and I don't have the Han Solo gun since I didn't buy deluxe.. that thing kills me in 1-2 shots easily. wtf. What weapons or utility items would you guys recommend I unlock next?

I think the end of the consoles will eventually happen once internet speeds pick up much more to compensate for input lag issues. Old topic about it: http://www.ancientclan.com/topic/12922-is-playstation-going-to-compete-with-steam/ Playstation as a service or store front, same with Xbox, could happen before we know it, but consoles as a whole will probably still exist because there is still large chunks of the world that don't have even basic broadband. Hand held systems like the Gameboy will probably stick around for the foreseeable future, but with how smart phones are progressing, the newer gameboys will have competition from just about every mobile company out there. With 3D, dual screens and fancy thumbsticks, the gameboy has things you'll never see put on a galaxy or iphone tho.

I'll watch it in the theater. Its only a matter of getting someone to puppy sit for me.

I think my brother was having similar complaints. He told me he mostly plays hard core now. If its like Battlefield's hard core then I'm guessing the TTK will be way faster. I'm guessing thats why he likes it. Team killing has always kept me out of hard core in BF tho. I'm too trigger happy. I shoot at my own team mates way too often.
