Popular Post Parker Posted September 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2015 Ever since we revealed Star Wars Battlefront at Star Wars Celebration, you’ve been asking us if there would be a Beta. Today, we are thrilled to finally be able to answer that question, and the answer is yes! Coming in early October to PS4, the Star Wars Battlefront Beta is a technical test and will feature Walker Assault on Hoth, a 40-player multiplayer battle featuring Rebels and the Empire. Walker Assault will also give you the chance to play as two of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars universe: Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. The Beta will also feature our Survival Mission on Tatooine, where you and a Rebel friend must fight back waves of Imperial forces. In addition to those two modes, we are excited to reveal a brand-new mode that will be available in the Beta, Drop Zone. We’ll be sharing more details on Drop Zone in the weeks ahead. As part of the Star Wars Battlefront Beta we are also happy to reveal the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience. Available during the Beta on the official site, the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience features the strategic card game Base Command, and lets you earn in-game Credits that unlock Star Cards, weapons, and more in Star Wars Battlefront. In addition to Base Command, the Companion also lets Rebels and Imperials alike check game stats and progression, customize loadouts and appearance, connect with friends, and get notified when they’re playing Star Wars Battlefront — as well as gather intel on their stats and progression so you can see how you match up! The Star Wars Battlefront Companion will be available on web, the Apple App Store and Google Play store prior to the release of Star Wars Battlefront on November 17th. We’ll have a lot more info regarding the Star Wars Battlefront Beta in the weeks ahead, so be sure to stay tuned to PlayStation.Blog, follow us on social, and sign-up for our newsletter to get all the latest news. Source: PlayStation Blog I think this is a great idea, especially after the terrible Battlefield 4 launch. Hopefully it will not only give EA and DICE some crucial information about their servers, we'll get to play what could potentially the best Star Wars game made in a long, long time.

CasaDeBen Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe I missed it in there. Ive had a long and hot day... open beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe I missed it in there. Ive had a long and hot day... open beta? I don't think they've said anything about that yet, only that they'll have more information about the Beta in the weeks ahead. I think it would benefit EA and gamers if the Beta was open to everyone but if not I hope they do it like Blops III, have the Beta open to people who pre-order exclusively for a few days and then open it up to everyone else.

Souls_BaKer Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) 40 players in one server with no risk of lag? Amazing. It is like Battlefield or PlanetSide 2. This game's going to be an amazing game for 2016. Thanks for the news Parker. SB. Edited September 1, 2015 by Souls_BaKer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiopile Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 40 players in one server with no risk of lag? Amazing. Impossible. SB. I fixed that for you. I'll try the beta if they let me but am still bothered that there is no campaign. If the MP is a failure the game becomes totally worthless with no campaign to fall back on.

If the MP is a failure the game becomes totally worthless with no campaign to fall back on. Awww, you fixed that for me, how gentle you are. I think the creator want to do a new universe of Start Wars. It's 2015-2016, lets forget about the old things and give a shot for new things like the 'Online Multiplayer'. You'll tell me about the beta. SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubanga Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I remember the Battlefront 2 days, it brings a tear to my eye. Hopefully ea does not screw this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a knock on the devs or the history of EA or Activision or any other game. It's a fact of the internet and an inherent issue of multi-player games. Latency exists and will exist for the foreseeable future until such time that the world gets a WAN that is as fast as a LAN.

Nihiris- Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Can't wait, thankfully they are doing it relatively close to the release of the actual game, so the wait shouldn't be too hard once the beta has ended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Still got 1 and 2 up there on the shelf for PS2. Still got Renegade and Elite on PSP, even got Elite on DS a few months back. When this was announced back at E3 2013 (?) I was skipping work and watching the live streams for 3 days straight with a mate and 10 pizzas (it was some really good delivery deal they had at the time) ... suffice to say I needed a new roof as our erections could not be contained. I am fucking ready for this game. Edit: Also, in case I somehow miss it's release, can someone on here be kind enough to quote me or something so I get a notification, when the beta drops? Cheers in advance if anyone's feeling kind enough. Edited October 8, 2015 by Super-Fly Spider-Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
