The gift that keeps on giving, very nice! Personally I'm not interested in the SP/co-op stuff, but a lot of people wanted it apparently, so good got them!
Felucia looks awesome!

Back in March. All the Clone Wars maps have it. The twist is though that the command posts is only the first half of the mode. The second half involves invading a the enemy's capital ship to win. The SP Instant Action version releasing this week is just command posts though.
Why wont they add real ground to space flight and let us start ships instead of magically spawning in them in the air?
This game is great, I keep coming back with every update.
Too bad they hurt themselves so much with the initial launch :(

Looks cool but I wish the OT timeline would get more love. Pretty much all the post launch support has been clone wars stuff.
This is exciting. I wish I could get into the combat more. I don't know what they changed between these new ones and the originals, but I last about five seconds alive before someone one shots me from the other side of the map.
The hero and ship battles were still fun, though.

Hopefully I didn't delete the game to gain some storage space. I like jumping in for a bit during each new update. It's a very fun game in spurts that's for sure.
I've noticed that a lot of the mode updates focus on the Clone Wars planets. Does anyone know why this is the case and why older planets aren't accessible?
Still my go-to game, they really turned the ship around.
Shame that Felucia is not available for GA.
Only thing that bothers me a bit is the current state of lightsaber combat and the lack of skins.

The Droideka is one of my favorite additions to this game. The Commando looks equally impressive. And that map... so pretty.
I'll go on a limb here and assume it's because of technical (or budget) limitations.
I don't THINK so?
Also, any current players care to tell me, did they ever address the initial grind in the game? I know that was when I "nope"'d out pretty hard initially.
Hell yeah. I'm glad they stuck with the game and turned it around, it's a crazy fun time, especially the Clone Wars maps. I just wish they had more appearance options for the Stormtroopers, compared to the Clones they're really lacking in that department for some reason. More weapons or weapon variations for each class would also be nice.
Probably limitations with the Frostbite engine if I had to guess. Maybe they'll make it possible if we ever get Battlefront 3.

As of right now yes. Since it uses the Command Post part of Capital Supremacy and that is currently only available on Clone Wars Era maps, Instant Action will just be Clone Wars right now.

Not really. You capture points then warp to the enemy's ship to destroy a couple points.
It can be fun but I've played rounds that lasted 2 hours because it was just a total stalemate.
They do need to add a regular capture point map for all eras instead of this new hybrid mode.
if only they gave us the option to just buy these things. like i want the option of buying the pre-order or w/e skins.
That's a shame; but it's probably enough for me to buy the game. What's the most popular/best game mode these days? If I remember correctly the big complaints (after the initial microtransactions) were lack of fun game types and a lot of the maps being poorly designed or something.
the microtransactions didn't make it into the full game (except premium currency for skins). The 2 big battle modes are the aforementioned Capital Ship Takedown and Galactic Assault. GA has your holding points, locking onto big targets like AT-ATs with special rockets then shooting those targets or going up to consoles and holding the Use button. There are smaller scale team deathmatches, hero battles, and Ewok hunt.
Space battles were my favorite but they aren't as populated as the other modes so you often load into empty servers.
The game does feel good though, and the battles can get intense, the GA objectives do break up the generic capture points but sometimes I just want a mode that focuses on those battles without the objectives.
It does go on sale for $5 and it is definitely worth it.
