Frankly the black TIE Pilot armor is more badass-looking than any other armor in any of these movies. TIE Pilots are boss.

Uh excuse me I think you're forgetting about scout armor thanks.

I got to wear a set of TIE Pilot armor during a halloween festival several years ago and it was a lot of fun, and it's a lot lighter and less cumbersome than regular Stormtrooper armor seems to be since it's pretty much just a jumpsuit, boots, gloves, the chest plate thing, and the helmet. At least you're not entirely encased in resin/plastic like with most other stormtrooper armor costumes.

The kids at the festival really got into it and were running up to us and hugging us and stuff. We had a remote-controlled full-size R2D2 that someone had built, he was a big hit, too.

I used to think snowtrooper armor looked pretty dumb but I had a change of heart playing Battlefront and now they're my favorite.

scout > snow > tie > sand > storm trooper.

I also can't wait to unlock the black stormtrooper armor in battlefront. It sucks having white armor on Endor.

That white is even an option for a forest level is dumb. I'd only have like 4 options that fit a level's theme, maybe 2 free ones and 2 you unlock.

Is there a death star type level? That'd be awesome if it had lots of crisscrossing corridors with multiple levels.

There's a weapons factory level on Sullust that is pretty neat. The smaller types like Blast are just in the Hangar area. Other than that, the level design is really gorgeous but super limited.

Yeah it would be a decent game if they had more maps. Essentially they tried to do what battlefield 2 did but flubbed it by not having as many maps.

The actual mechanics are super good and fun, there just needs to be more content. Also why the gently caress is the Imperial hero ship the Slave I and not Vader's sick TIE Advanced?

I really like the new Jakku maps, makes me feel good about future expansions.

Also everyone saying the game needs Clone Wars stuff can go gently caress off.

I am curious how long of a lead time there will be before inserting TFA content? Like. One of the heroes or the ships becoming Finn or Poe's X Wing.

The Battle of Jakku is an excellent bridge between old and new trilogies, since it's like the Battle Of Berlin to use a WW2 reference or the Battle of Five Forks for an American Civil War analog. But it's a drat shame we're not seeing a new trilogy stuff until probably the next Battlefront, probably around the same time Episode VIII comes out.

Agreed. Even just the color scheme change in TIE fighters would be cool.

Actually, thinking about it, the T-70 X-Wing the Resistance is using is supposed to be another war surplus that has been superseded by newer starfighters in the New Republic by the time of TFA. So, it would be nice to at least have that as a reskin or DLC and say that it entered into conflict sometime around Jakku or other Battlefront battles.

It opens with the ewok village being massacred and the cute little girl protagonist watching her entire family gunned down in front of her....

It also features Wilford Brimley!
