So, apparently my shitty postman delivered it to the house next door, and the arsehole next door only decided to pop it through my letterbox at 6am this morning.

I'm now away all weekend, not near a PS4.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Yeah I know, right?

I haven't found a loadout that suits me yet. I think double grenade is pretty powerful right now until people learn to wise up.

I'm not particularly hyped about it but my friends are getting it which means I'm probably getting it too.

I really like playing the Supremacy mode, because even if one guy is going HAM on the opposite team, you don't feel like you're getting completely buttscrewed.

However, on Droid Run, when one guy is doing EVERYTHING then it's really hard to play against. See: Max and my games yesterday - one guy was just killing us over and over and over and over.

I recently got this for ps4 and I love it. I'm pretty much just playing Blast Mode for now until I get better. Does anyone have any tips for taking care of players who camp at the top of maps like dune exchange or ice caves?

So they've nerfed the impact grenades again. My friend said they reduced the blast radius some time after Thanksgiving, and now an impact doesn't even do full damage (went from 100 damage to 90 damage).

I wish the game had some sort of a single player storyline like it seems a fair amount of other shooters do plus it can get pretty repetitive sometimes, but otherwise I love it!

Yeah, I think a lot of people, especially the ones who played the PS2 Battlefront games, were surprised there was no offline campaign. People are still asking for it on the forums there, but idk if we'll ever get it. EA pretty much cut off communication with the forums. We were supposed to get details on the first DLC a week ago and still haven't heard anything from them.
