Dat waste of resources on offline modes because some people cant hang online...

Man, you should rethink this stance. Bot modes only help the appeal of an online shooter, and since the bot AI is already in the game it likely isn't taking much work to apply it on a larger scale.

Bots are a good thing, especially for people with shitty connections. It's not like they're going to fill the multiplayer matches with bots.

 

[pacman85]

Nice. Loving all the updates to this game. One of my favorites games I have for my XBone!

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

8 heroes. Come on Ben Kenobi and Maul! I want more sabers!

That is not why people want it and you know that. Quit ignoring other people's stance on the subject.

 

[5taquitos]

Now that we know we have two unannounced heroes and two unannounced villains, let the speculation commence!

Death Star:
Chewie & Tarkin
OR
Chewie & Bossk

Rogue One:
?

 

[Ozorov]

8 heroes. Come on Ben Kenobi and Maul! I want more sabers!

Well... It must be Chewie or Ben Kenobi for Death Star, ye?

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Dengar aye? I'm not going to judge, Greedo and Nien turned out to be great.

They can target a whole new crowd If they somehow can implement an offline Galactic Conquest type mode with bots. Hell I'd give 'm some extra cash if this was to happen.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Well... It must be Chewie or Ben Kenobi for Death Star, ye?

But that would be two rebel heroes Dont think Old Obi Wan will happen.

But what Heroes can they do for the Empire? Most likely all are going to be Bounty Hunters right?

 

[Ozorov]

Dengar aye? I'm not going to judge, Greedo and Nien turned out to be great.

Haha same here! I won't judge any hero post-Outer Rim before I play them. Both Greedo and Nien Nunb are amazing imo.

But this people crying for bots now wont play the game 24/7... its just nostalgia that is driving them. And i can already see the complaints that the bots are dumb etc.

Do we want a healthy Online MP Population or a more Offline modes? I take the first.

I just really dont understand a lot of people who bought this heavily PvP Mp focused game just to kill dumb bots.
Whats the point? Im not buying something like Fallout 4 and will go to their forums and start complaining about no Multiplayer content and modes with a stupid hashtag like #MultiplayerMatters.

I wish people would accept PvP MP Only games.

What about when servers are down? Or something might be broken in a specific mode? Or people who want to experiment with new things? Or just want to screw around?

Battlefront is known for this feature and don't pull the whole "it's a reboot though" argument. Adding bots in specific modes(at least Blast, Fighter Squadron, and Walker Assault to start), with instant action support, expanded custom game options, and the ability to also play with your friends for just some mindless fun would be great for a lot of players whether you agree or not.

Its not a zero sum game. Stop pretending like the existence of offline bots somehow damages the online multiplayer.

Why are you like this? Seriously, do you enjoy just being a contrarian?

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Wasn't expecting Bespin so soon btw. Was really thinking August at the earliest, but June? That's a hell of a nice surprise.

 

[pacman85]

Now that we know we have two unannounced heroes and two unannounced villains, let the speculation commence!

Death Star:
Chewie & Tarkin
OR
Chewie & Bossk

Rogue One:
?

I would imagine the Rogue One hero would be the main "good guy" from the first trailer, Jyn Erso.

 

[Toa TAK]

AT-ATs in cloud city will be amazing. Super expected about the future of our game.

 

[Forerunner]

Yeah, Cloud City sound amazing. It'll be nice to have an urban map.

Dengar is a little odd though. I'd rather have IG-88 or Bossk.

 

[Toa TAK]

I had to do a double take when it came to Dengar. Of all the dudes, IG-88 would've been a better fit.

Though, I'm really interested in the Rogue One stuff, though we'll have to wait a bit on that. Lol

 

[5taquitos]

I hope they decide to start recording new audio introductions for the new heroes, would be cool hearing that Dengar's Punishing One was spotted nearby.

Actually, I don't even know when someone spawns as Greedo or Nien because there's no audio for it.

 

[Ozorov]

April - Ratchet and Clank
May - Uncharted 4
June - Bespin

Wooooooooo

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Watch the DLC come out the same day as No Man's Sky...

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Watch the DLC come out the same day as No Man's Sky...

I think I'm going to call in sick for the whole of June...

- Bespin DLC
- No Man's Sky
- probably The Witcher 3 DLC, which reportedly is going to be huge...
- Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens

DLC-month for me. Witcher 3 and Bespin.

 

[PrankT]

Dengar... but I wanted IG-88 or Bossk. Is Dengar really that more well known than them?

Probably easier to model a humanoid character running around than a robot. Bossk would have been cool, but I like Dengar as well. I think fleshing out these background characters is cool.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

After all the trouble with the A-Wing, I'm horrified to even consider what DICE could do to IG-88's hitbox.

Yikes, that's a good point.

 

[Gravemind IV]

Still hoping that they somehow manage to filter in the Bespin WA map with the rest of the WA maps.

Lando is no surprise, Dengar is though. I really can't see them omitting Chewy, so I guess Kenobi is a goner, unless they make either of them FLC (lol not happening).

 

[Darth Smurf X]

Here I was looking forward to an update about their bug fixes and they go and do this instead.

Walker Assault on Cloud City? Fighter Squadron over Bespin? May the 4th surprise? Bacta Grenades? Yes, please.

Unless they only have large scale maps for this DLC, it's going to be impossible to have small scale and large scale maps in a DLC playlist.

 

[Kovet]

I just made a second montage. the music is nicer than the first i can guarantee it.

Check it out.

[lawnchair]

modes with bots (especially if playable co-op online) would be amazing.

They already have AI for the survival modes so I doubt it would require much effort to tweak them to play the objective.

 

[Ozorov]

Wanna play with Nein Nunb or Greedo with your PS4 in offline mode while in your summer-cottage? Nope!

"Only available online". Meh

 

[DeepEnigma]

8 heroes. Come on Ben Kenobi and Maul! I want more sabers!

Would make perfect sense for the tank and speed sabers on both sides! And a perfect way to introduce Maul back in (everyone loves him) since he is now OT era Canon.

 

[5taquitos]

I will eat Gundark if Maul shows up as one of the heroes.

If they went with Dengar (presumably because of a lack of villains to pick from), there's no way Maul appears later.

They did not go with him for 'lack of villains', they went with him because he has now been more fleshed out from the cartoon series, and Disney likes to build the roster up of recognizable characters, with no real background story, build on them (giving them a story) so they have a roster to choose from, and a 'favorite for everyone', just like all their franchises and IP's.

What if the hooded figure we saw in the Rogue One teaser, was Maul?

We'll see

I'd bet my last credit that the last two villains will be pulled from a pool of IG-88, Bossk, 4-LOM, and Zuckus.

 

[MADGAME]

Good news all around. Double the originally announced number of heroes, new offline content and events, and the maps have been designed well. Happy with my season pass investment so far, but we need some bug fixes.

 

[Darth Smurf X]

Robo-Maul is coming! I hope you packed your bib.

I'm joking. There is no chance at Maul being in this game. We all know this is the future, search your feelings; you know it to be true.

Death Star DLC:
Chewie vs. Bossk

Rogue One DLC:
Jyn vs. ???

 

[Toa TAK]

If we get Maul I want Ahsoka.

you're not getting either, thank god

I just want another melee character for the Empire, preferably an analog to Luke. All of these blaster characters are boring.

It is going to the the Rogue One Inquisitor that had his back turned in the teaser.

Trust your feelings, you know this to be true.

I'd be surprised if they introduce another villain in Rogue One, what with Vader, Mendelsohn's character and Tarkin being rumoured to appear.

It... It is Disney.

That asks the question then, who was the black robed figure kneeling in front of that Bacta Tank with the Royal Guards?

One theory was the Emperor himself, kneeling to Snoke being held in there... and clearly it was not the shape or size to be Vader...

It looked too, 'solid postured' to be Palps, and also, he became so powerful, I doubt he kneels to anyone.

 

[lawnchair]

You wanna go, punk?

only if it's podracing

 

[MADGAME]

8 total heroes/villains from DLC + plus the 6 vanilla will make a sweet 7v7 HvV match. 8v8 would be even better if they give a hero/villain away for free.

Maybe we will get a new hero-only game mode.

Yeah, I definitely don't think they'll be adding Snoke in that kind of way. Making Palpatine bow to anyone completely undermines the character.

I think it being Vader with a CGI hood to keep him under wraps for a little longer is the most likely theory at the moment. Though I don't know if it's true.
