Apparently you CAN take down walkers with tow cables. Hoping there will be some kind of tutorial that explains these things. You need to wait for the y-wings to finish there bombing run to deploy the cable. Is that the only way the rebels can win? At the moment I’ve only seen the rebels win once I’m guessing that’s because not many knew about taking the walkers down.

No, I've won a couple of games on the rebel side. Set the uplinks off to lock-in the Y-wings. As soon as the AT-AT's are vunerable to attack you have to shoot it. If you can find a x-wing or rocket as well as the airspeeder use those on it.

Just tried this out, Game looks smooth as it can be, and the sound of the blasters really put a smile on my face. But the comment about this being Cod with space guns is spot on.

Most say it's a battlefield skin which I don't get as I've played battlefield to death and I can't see the resemblance. It's arcadey yes but it's definitely star wars. The sounds and music are fantastic to hear. You can't deny it's not fun to play and it plays great too which if you know about BF4 when that came out this is a miracle it all works. I'm looking forward to the full game.

I don't think it's like cod other than its a fps and remember cod never invented fps I gave up on cod after ghosts. I think it plays very well even on the beta, the two maps are quite open and large and really create the battle of on the ice planet quite well, you get a clear sense of a raging battle going on when you are running up to due the fight. The walkers look great, the sounds are spot on, flying the space ships takes some getting used to but it's not over complicated despite me crashing into the snow after a few seconds of flight. It could do with a squad system like bf4 in order to keep some cohesion to the battle though, and spawning seems bad at times.
I killed that shite Luke yesterday, he somersaults around smashing everybody up with his girly lightsabre until he met me that was.
As I've said earlier if you don't like the fps genre the you are unlikely to like this even if you are a Star Wars fan. I won't be cancelling my pre order I'm quite pleased with it thus far.

I played this relentlessly in the miss belief that practice would make me better at fps, but it soon became apparent that my permanent home at the bottom of the leader board was nothing to do with skill fade but down to my connection and server lag… So now I’d convinced myself that I was just as good as everyone else I handed my controller to a grouchy teenager that loosely resembled the young lad who’s hand I place a controller into 12 years ago at the age of 3 and said “ Go on son see if you can make the blue hedgehog move.” By pure luck he landed in a server full of rubbish players because he immediately went 20 / 8 on Walker Assault and was somewhere in the upper part of the leader board but I didn’t like to look too hard. So then I suggest he has a go at Drop Zone as I haven’t seen that particular game mode yet, So with a grunt that I knew meant “ Wow your awesome dad thanks for teaching me everything I know about gaming” he then goes on to do this – How can someone get so lucky? As soon as I got the controller back I was hit with my usual server lag. I have started child divorce proceedings.

I have started child divorce proceedings. Have you considered just handing over the joypad more often? Look at it this way - now there are players in the world who see you not as an incompetent bullet sponge, but an annoying bastard. Silver lining. Have a consolation picture that's even funnier than Jewbacca:

I fear that would stretch my pocket to far, a couple of packs of Haribos doesn’t seem to work anymore. And I do have some pride – the very skilful At-St takedown vid was me, the fact it was on near zero health and looking elsewhere had nothing to do with it.

I thought that was you Chris in the drop zone vid. I thought you had a rush of blood or something to do that well.

Chris your boy is everything I despise about online gaming, he should be disciplined perhaps even made to play in a pair of boxing gloves. He and his kind are undoubtedly the reason why my tourettes flair up during online gaming. I think when the yougens hit more than 3 kill streak they should be removed and banned from the server for 4 months as games are NOT made for Children I mean look at the vast masses of older gamers we have alone on this forum that's proof alone! We were here first. Seriously though I think it's great father and son share a gaming hobby, btw see how good he is wearing boxing gloves that will simulate being old I bet you are even skill level then As for worms still not even loaded it up, I'm waiting for you. I'm sure Keith expressed an interest too, perhaps he was humouring us I'm not sure.

Season pass for this - £40.
I can see the day, not too far off, when you're expected to pay real money for ammo on an online eff-pee-ess.

My enthusiasm has cooled if it wasn’t Star Wars I wouldn’t even be looking its direction, I’m even considering the Takin King over this. But it is Star Wars and once the release date roles closer I expect my rose tinted shades will be firmly affixed.
