Looks like a bunch of close quarters maps, which is a shame because I like the big open ups but whatever. This looks pretty fun tbh.

I stole this from Reddit

Cards and Pickups
Scatter Gun Star Card fires microshards that pierces Shields
Dioxis Grenade is like a smoke grenade, that does not inhibit much visibility but does DoT damage.
Adrenaline Stim Card heals over time.
Ion Disruptor Rifle pickup - Charged pickup that does damage in a small radius.
Trait card: Berserker (Effects not known yet)
Bacta Bomb: No info yet. Area heal?


Modes
Extraction:
15 v 15
Mode is escorting a cart from checkpoint to checkpoint.
Imperials activate to stop it, rebels need to activate to start. Takes about the same amount of time as capping a droid in Droid Run. Roughly 4 seconds.
There's a limited shield that can be deployed on the cart by the rebels.
Each check point has heroes added. Still earned via pickup.
You don't get to choose which hero you play with when you pick it up.
Heroes stack. It isnt just one hero at a time. If you don't die, when the next hero shows up you can play together.
1st checkpoint, only Rebels get a hero.
2nd check point both sides get a hero.
By Last Checkpoint only Imperials get a hero.
Heros will NOT respawn

Heroes Vs. Villains

8 vs 8 now only for the Outer Rim DLC. 4 heroes vs 4 villains. This is to ensure that on the original maps, any player who doesn't have the DLC wont be locked out of playing a hero. This may change.
You can choose which Hero/Villain you want to play as at the start of the round now.
In each round only 2 honor guards will be allowed to spawn. After the 2 honor guards die, thats it.
They are going to look at how to handle this mode with future DLC Packs, and how many heros per side will be allowed.

Hero Hunt
How the Hero is selected has been changed to be more enjoyable for everyone involved.
Now it is based on damage done to the hero, and is set so that everyone should get to play the hero at least once.

Maps
Sorosuub Pipelines
Sorusuub Refinery
Sorosuub Facility has a Dianoga. Lots of Lava. Facility is a manufacturing site for a lot of the tech vehicles.
Designed around verticality, plenty of vertical gameplay

Jabba's Palace
Its the Entire interior of Jabba's Palace.
Droid Torture Room is in
Lots of long hallways.
Like a maze. A lot of routes to go.
Rancor Pit, Rancor is dead in the rancor pit. This is after ROTJ Events in the palace.
Cargo sized game modes take place in the sail barge hangar area.

Heroes
Greedo:
Sprint faster then normal soldier
Confidence Level: Constant kills streaks in combat keep it high. Being out of combat gradually decreases confidence level. Upgrades your abilities.

Nien Nunb
Prox mines on smaller game modes. He can drop a total of 4 proximity mines. *Larger game modes he can call in an orbital strike
Turret that upgrades as his kills go up. Same as Greedo Confidence. It increases in damage as you get kills. Eventually it gets Explosive shots.
Putting the turret down again will reset this.
Pulse Rifle on shorter C/D
One of the emotes is the laugh from RoTJ. Perfect.
His weapon is the DH-17.

Vader

Vader's parry/block time has been increased from 4 seconds to 8 seconds

Luke
Now runs slower.

New Features

General Improvements/Balance Changes
AUTOBALANCING IS BEING ADDED. It autobalances at the end of each map. IT ensures you do not play the same faction twice on the same map.
Team Focus: A way to signify to your team which objective you are going to. The number goes up when you use E/Square/X on a particular obj.
Combat Roll by strafing and pressing alt.
Grenades will no longer go through squad shields/Personal shields. (Cycler Rifle/Scatter gun will still pierce it.)
Ion Grenade will impact and destroy a shield.
Level 60 Alien head for Rebels is a Weequay.
Your hand now shows the trait on the load screen.
First Person Zoom/aim for blasters without a scope now shows you looking right down the sights.
Barrage has had its fuse time lowered.
New imperial skins are planned but no details have been announced yet. Dennis has stated that he has committed to them already.

Scoreboard
Score is on the left now.
Ping is now displayed
Who is dead now also shows on scoreboard in a dark grey.
Which player has the hero is now displayed on the Scoreboard

Matchmaking
Quickmatch: You can matchmake into any 12 player, 40 player or hero mode using the new Quickmatch feature. This cycles through modes every map.

Hutt contracts

You must be level 12 before accessing Hutt contracts.
The cards, and weapons of the DLC and future DLC's are now unlocked via Hutt Contracts.
You unlock everything by completing tasks, similar to your daily objectives
You must first buy a Hutt contract, and then complete the tasks to unlock the item.
DLT-19X and DL-18 are not included in this and are free for all players at launch.
They are starting out with fairly easy tasks, and will see how long it takes people to accomplish that and change it in the future if they need to.
Current items that came with the base game will not be unlocked through hutt contracts
The Upgraded versions of all star cards will also be unlocked via contracts, by completing tasks that may involve using the base ability.

I'm actually happy with these updates tbh.  Combat rolling should be nice, and the quickmatch feature should be useful. Also the team focus thing is going to be really fucking good because my teammates 80% of the time are fucking retarded chimps who run in the opposite direction of the objective or think its a team deathmatch. Hope it actually sees some use.

Seriously what drug addict thought Gredo and Nien Numb were good candidates for heroes?
Why not Chewie or Obi-Wan

Greedo is fine. I understand that for the Jabba palace thing. Why the fuck Nien Numb instead of Chewie, who the fuck knows.

There would probably need to be another Empire era lightsaber wielder to match Obi-Wan, as for Chewie, a good counter for him would have been Bossk or IG-88.

We'll probably get Lando in the Bespin DLC

Saving Chewie for one of the other DLCs I think. They said we'd get a Death Star map so I'm imagining we'll get Obi Wan or Chewie as the Hero for that.

I'm betting they did Nien Numb and Greedo because they had head assets for Sullustians and Rodians already

They could re-canonize the Shadow Guard.

That'd be cool, or pull in an Inquisitor

Though makes me wonder how Obi Wan would even play. His Mind Trick should make you see teammates as enemies or something.

Even though it's pretty useless, the Cycler Rifle is fun

Big Boss, how's the final game?

I paid close attention to the game after I played the Beta, and determined the final game didn't offer much replayable content.

The DLC also seems to be overpriced. But I wanna know what you think since you actually play the game.

The game is solid, if lacking. What's there is good, there's a nice variety of weapons and loadouts too, but after a while it might start to get a bit samey to you. It happened to me, but I eventually saw past it and just started to enjoy what was there.

With the new stuff they're adding, it's looking to become even better. The tweaks they've made so far show that they are listening to the fans, but there are still some things (such as space battles) that I doubt they'll do.

So in my opinion it's a really solid shooter with well designed maps. It lacks content so far, but with the free maps and tweaks they've already started making up for it. I know it gets shat on a lot and some of it is justified, but I really enjoy it as both a shooter and a Star Wars fan.


Plus it's really, really pretty.

I'll wait for the next pack or two to see whether or not getting the season pass is worth it.

The art design on the game (graphics, lighting, sound) is undeniably god-tier.

I'd certainly get the game if so much of it wasn't going to be behind a paywall of DLC the same price as the base game.

Yeah I can see your point, but I can't see myself getting many games this year so I may as well keep getting more stuff added to one I already play.
