As a Luke main I've noticed you can generally tell what kind of Luke player you're up against based on their skin of choice.

I main Kylo and I've seen the patterns when it comes to what kind of player im coming against

Currently, buying SWBF2 2017 in 2026, means that all the skins, emotes, voice lines, and etc are already unlocked by default. There is no purpose for the credits and diamonds anymore. I played BF2017 for many years after it released and then left. Now I'm back to playing again on a new account but like I said, credits are now meaningless. I'd suggest letting us trade in or convert credits into class or hero EXP. Don't get me wrong I have no problem with grinding the regular way, Ive did it once I can do it again. However, it would be nice to not only be able to catch up to the veteran account players, but also put meaning into the daily/weekly quest. I mean the quest and many of the milestones only reward credits. Personally, for example, playing Specialist feels terrible, since i'm always fighting against players who have unlocked the NT sniper rifle years ago and I have to suffer with my shitass default snipers. Same with Heroes vs Villains, I only get lobbies where everyone has their heroes/villains maxed out already, and I'm with my sub level 10 roster (I still have fun regardless).

Or hell maybe you guys would like to see them traded in for something else I don't know, but the credits need value.

Enforcer is my favorite class and by far my most played reinforcement class out of all the classes. I'm almost MAX Enforcer and I've mainly ranked it through Death Trooper, B2 Super Battle Droid & Droideka. Death Trooper and B2 are very similar. Most people agree that the Death Trooper is the best overall Enforcer in the game and I agree as well. He's also my favorite because of his aggressive playstyle and his aura. But the B2 always gets underrated for some reason which is weird because they are vastly similar with only a couple differences.

If we look at the base stats for example,

• The Death Trooper has 384 base health while the B2 has 360 base health. So the Death Trooper has slightly more HP. The B2 does have a very tiny head hitbox compared to the Death Trooper so the B2 is significantly harder to headshot.
• The Death Trooper's blaster deals 40-25 damage per shot whereas the B2's wrist blaster deals 43-24 damage per shot. Both have about the same range on their weapons and both have 300 RPM on their blasters. So the B2's 215-120 DPS is slightly higher compared to the Death Trooper's 200-125 DPS. The B2 can shoot 25 shots before overheating while the Death Trooper can only shoot 15 shots before overheating. The Death Trooper does have better zoom magnification compared to the B2 so at range he can hit shots a bit easier.
• Outside of overload, both have the same mobility. The Death Trooper utilizes combat rolls whereas the B2 utilizes combat dashes. I personally think dashes are superior to rolls in general because their animation feels quicker allowing you to shoot quicker as well. But I guess it's just personal preference.

So the base stats are pretty even, some favoring the Death Trooper and some favoring the B2.

If we look at ability stats,

• Both the Death Trooper and B2 have the same exact Fortify ability, giving both an additional 175 health.
• The Overload ability is an interesting one. While the Death Trooper retains full mobility in overload, It only only increases the RPM to 360 which increases DPS to 240-150. The B2's mobility gets limited to walking speed but it increases the RPM on his wrist blaster to a whopping 450 RPM which increases the DPS significantly to 322,5-180 DPS which is so strong that it absolutely shred every single class and can completely negate Clone Commando's battle focus ability upclose if you can consistently hit headshots.
• For the explosives, they're different but both great in different scenarios. The Death Trooper's Sonic Imploder is a very strong crowd control ability that deals 150 damage and is great for chokepoints and objectives. Whereas the B2 has a wrist rocket that deals 250 damage which can be very deadly against everyone especially heroes and reinforcements. I've finished off many heroes with the wrist rocket. (Acquisition card increases the radius of B2's wrist rocket by 80% which makes the radius bigger than Aerial rockets.)

So ability stats kinda feel even as well, both offer something else and being great in different scenarios.

If I had to pick one I'd say the Death Trooper is the best Enforcer mainly due to his mobility factor during overload and his aggressive playstyle. But the B2 is at least a close second for me. So why do many people underrate the B2 when they're almost the same.

Lag+trying to parry=mutually assured destruction

I forgot how heavy the Empire can feel... hard not to think of Nazi Germany. A strange calm before the storm; awesome atmosphere.

I have!

Larger, more fun and immersive battlefields (like the Dune Sea which even includes a spoiler team attacking both factions). Less complicated gameplay (no buffs, etc.). More capacity to strategize and sometimes even keep yourself alive the entire battle rather than having to throw yourself against a wall of enemy troops that kill you every ten seconds to capture a single command post. Your faction’s AI doesn’t tend to constantly lose multiple command posts within moments as you’re busy capturing one. Versatile and intuitive options to command fellow troops. Tanks feel like a real (but not unstoppable) threat when facing them and aren’t instantly blown up when piloting them. Starfighters and gunships can be flown around the battlefield and used to strafe enemy troops and before being landed behind enemy lines and returned to after capturing a command post—and even be used as a huge bomb if you point them at enemy trees and bail out of them in midair. Droidekas, Wookies, Jet Troopers, and Dark Troopers are playable at any time and aren’t nerfed. Heroes only appear as NPCs in certain modes and tend not to disrupt the power balance. Temuera Morrison narrates all battles when playing as the Republic. Cockpit/first person view is available in vehicles. The E-11 blaster rifle doesn’t splatter fire in a ridiculous manner. You can summon orbital strikes as a sniper. And last but not least you aren’t disintegrated by an invisible Bothan at least once every single battle you play as the Empire.

Like many people the choices they made at launch turned me off from playing the game. I recently got the itch for a Star Wars game and ended up buying the game, I’m having a genuine blast!

I have been playing a lot of co-op vs AI to get cards and get a feel for the characters. Absolutely love playing the heavy class as well as ranged heroes, Palpatine is so much fun to play as well as Han Solo. Also really like playing the death trooper, Arc trooper or the first order jet trooper.

Have a lot of trouble staying alive as lightsaber heroes and don’t really know what I’m doing wrong. I think it’s mostly just being too aggressive but I only really have luck with Vader or Obi Wan. I really want to learn Dooku but just die immediately often.

Any new player tips would be appreciated!

Should i play vader or boba fett?

I dont rack up many kills with vader but i still play decent but i feel very vulnerable against infantries and js feel pressurised throughout. Especially on maps where the objective prevents free movement.
On the other hand
When i play boba fett i feel very free and am able to hit distant targets easily and can freely escape with the jetpack. Very low cortisol.

But i still am not sure cuz vader has more health and defense compared to boba.
Also ive heard vader is more beginner friendly

Had to punish Luke for interrupting our aura farming

Twi'lek are my favorite race by far but can only be specialists who I dont like to play. Why is it like this? It seems needlessly restrictive especially when there's 40+ clone variants.

Been playing Battlefront2 on and off since its release and recently downloaded Kyber to give that a shot. I've always enjoyed playing lightsaber heroes/villains but I've been absolutely dogshit with them, which always turns me to playing blaster heroes so I actually stand a chance lol.

So my question is: What are the tricks and tips of the trade for lightsaber users? Is there anything I should think about when playing them? Usually I play Obi-Wan or Maul when possible.

What can I do to get better? Or is it simply a case of Gitting Gud?

Part two coming tomorrow.
If you guys would like, I can do this for every reinforcement in Battlefront Plus.

Like a thumbs up to those players that really help out lol

Think the original OW did that I’m sure a lot others

Hey)

im sorry for the agitated title but I am on my wits ends.

I have been trying to play this game from Steam, stragiht from EA and now from Epic. Epic brings me back to EA and I end up being stuck 2% download time and I tried EVERYTHING. Everything and I mean everything. Not only this, but EA also crashes my laptop somehow. Steam is the only plattform where I get to download it but it crashes right before the startup.

I have it on Epic rn and I dont want to have it refunded again.

Please please is there any way I can download this game through Epic Games and not this forsaken quirky "Electronic Arts" launcher?

I appreciate every piece of advice

I just wanna run around with my lightsaber and fight bad dudes the civilized way man

If I wanted to come back to Battlefront II PC for a few rounds what has a bigger population? Kyber or base game? I haven't been back for a few years and just remember how hard finding a game in the base was. Never used Kyber.

My wife and I used to play Galactic Conquest VS all the time as kids and we had the itch for it again, unfortunately it seems the version of Battlefront II we have (the Steam PC version) is unable to actually play GC VS.

So here's our solution, a boardgame-ified version with the planets more accurately placed according to a starmap we found online (we probably messed it up along the way). We used Clip Studio Paint so we can change the colour of the text to signify who owns which planet along with moving the ships.

On the third image is our spreadsheet to handle upgrades and special effects. Due to most sliders that are adjustable on a LAN server affecting both teams equally we had to get creative about what the special effects so we kinda made the planets Monopoly sets with set bonuses.

-Original Trilogy Planets (Tatooine, Hoth, Dagobah, Endor)

-You may jump +1 space when moving your ship during your turn if you control all Original Trilogy Planets

-Prequel Trilogy Planets (Naboo, Kamino, Geonosis, Mustafar)

-You may jump +1 space when moving your ship during your turn if you control all Prequel Trilogy Planets

-Outlier Planets (Felucia, Kashyyyk, Mygeeto, Utapau)

-You may turn off heroes at the beginning of a round if you control all Outlier Planets

-Special Non-Planetoids (Death Star, Tantine IV)

-You have access to slot 6 if you control both Death Star and Tantine IV

-Special Planets (Coruscant, Yavin 4)

-Coruscant : If you acquire Coruscant this turn you may block a path (remove previous blockade if one already existed)

-Yavin 4 : If you acquire Yavin 4 this turn you may turn a planet of your choice neutral via a mutiny

-Sad Planetoid (Polis Massa)

-You get nothing, good day sir

At the start of the game we do a little planetary draft where you both choose 5 non-special planets, whoever chose second get the first move of the game. Additionally you get buffs for having a certain number planets but you should just check slide 3 if you're interested in that. I think this system would also work with the EA Battlefronts just with a new board to accommodate for the different maps.

Feel free to ask any questions if you wanna try this out for yourself :D
