Cookyman Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Finally got my Fighter Squadron Trophy - get 10 kills in a single game today. Thanks to @Eenuh for advising me to try using the A Wing - got it first time doing that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I have done that trophy several times over. Just hover above the ground the first 30 seconds of the match until the Millennium/Slave appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eenuh Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I've been playing loads of this recently, and am going onto level 49 now I think. However, I do think I will just give up on getting a Platinum for this. I think I am 13 trophies away from it, but there are some I just don't see myself getting. The main issue I have is with Hero Hunt, which I just don't enjoy at all. The mode just isn't fair at all; you can be doing loads of damage to the hero, but if you're not the one to get the last hit in then too bad, you get nothing for that. I rarely get to be the hero, and when I do, I only manage a few kills. So yeah, can't get some trophies/dioramas cause of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Don't think I will be getting the platinum myself either. I guess I could the survivals with tricks and abuses but I'm not sure I can be bothered. Especially as two of my three last online trophies I definitively can't see myself getting. Getting 10 headshot with the cycler rifle is one of them. Lame reference to Firefly etc, but the only times I get a headshot with normal weapons, is because I was aiming at the chest and missed. The other one is 25 tramples with the AT-ST. I think I have two... Running out of things to play so I think I might just go for lv 50 during the week. I don't know if it works very well for @Eenuh and others, but my trick for Hero Hunt is to pray to get Luke or Vader, and then camp in a hallway with a roof, if the map has one. You can only be shot from two directions, and they often come in packs. As for killing the hero first, I heard explosives and pusle rifle are good. Perhaps also try playing during night when there are less people to compete with. Edited February 10, 2016 by Tales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rifle trophy is another easy one, it just takes a little time. I found the best mode to get that is the pod drop one. You just wait next to the when the pod drops and hit the enemy while they are trying to capture it. For the AT-ST one you want to search and play on the Hoth map and on the Walker Assault mode. You then just go where the picks spawn ( spawn in same place every time ) and then charge at the enemy. Trying to do it on any other map, especially Endor, can be a bit of a pain.

Fierce_LiNk Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 We had a crazy game of Heroes vs. Villains tonight where we were 4-2 down but brought it back to 4-4. We killed two out of the three villains and had all three of our heroes remaining. Then, somehow, we ended up losing two heroes in quick succession. @Eenuh was Luke and had 2 (!) health remaining. In the end, they found her hiding in a corridor somewhere and brutally took Luke down, meaning we lost a hard-fought match. Gutted. Had a crazy match in Supremacy where I put the kettle on in between getting killed. We were on the last base and I made it there using a personal shield before the sound of our whistling kettle started screaming the house down. It was midnight at this point, so I had no choice but to leave my character in the middle of the last checkpoint, armed with only the personal shield and with the majority of my team a fair way off. We somehow won the final checkpoint (and the match!) without me getting killed. So, for a period of at least 30 seconds, I was stood there defenceless and somehow didn't get killed. Miracles do happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 We had some hilarious games yesterday. Probably some of the funniest yet. @Cookyman has developed an unhealthy obsession with the "Not this time!" emote, which can sometimes sound a bit campy. (hand on the hips movement, eyebrows raised at the end, dat voice) We were choosing moments to spam that emote, particularly when trying to capture a base in supremacy. We must have won about 6 or 7 games of Supremacy in a row within the first few minutes. It was like watching a plague of locusts. Seriously. We just all piled into the first point, then as soon as we won that we legged it to the next, before getting the final one. The teams we were playing against weren't that great and didn't even attempt to take back their bases. There was one utterly hilarious moment on the Jakku level where we were on the way to capture the last base and this guy literally ran towards us, saw that we were the enemy and then promptly turned back around! He kept running and running and in the end @Eenuh funnelled him into this one area and I bitch-slapped him as he turned a corner. A weird thing happened on the Hoth level when @Eenuh became Darth Vader. Her HUD disappeared, so she had nothing on screen apart from the game itself. No map, no score count, no health bar, it didn't even tell her which players were on her team and which were enemies. The only thing it did keep was that I was still displayed as a partner/yellow. So, we captured the middle base and I had to basically lead her to the other two to win the game. I saved the footage but have just realised that I haven't enabled chat audio in the captured footage. Gutted! It was basically, "left! Turn left here! Stop, kill the guy on the right. Turn left! Wait. We're capturing!" etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 My download gets an error at 2% and just says I can't download. Anyone know why? A quick google search and checking Gamefaqs didn't help. When I get it fixed I'd be happy to take a break from Far Cry and check out the new stuff in Battlefront. Considering to buy the season pass before it's on sale too(making the season pass more expensive than the base game :p ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Paul Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Sounds like a great update, looking forward to giving it a go, haven't played this anywhere near as much as I'd have liked to over the last few months. I wonder whether they will continue to have any free updates once the paid DLC starts coming? To be honest, with my gaming habits, updates like this make it much easier for me to hold off getting the season pass and waiting until it goes on sale at some point further down the line.

somme Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Just bought the season pass after spending the last 5 days just playing this. Slowly trying to get all the trophies but some of them seem almost impossibly difficult! Seems like there's been quite a few tweaks since launch and all seem for the better. Can't wait for the new DLC. Players were expecting some new hero characters at some point, but it’s safe to say Greedo and Nien Nunb are an unexpected choice. Especially when you consider the magnitude of the playable heroes that are already available, but with that said no details have been released about their abilities and weapons so they may well be a popular choice for players. ‘Outer Rim’ brings with it some new weapons and star cards, which from the looks of it is what the two new character will be equipped with. They include: Relby V-10 rifle DT-12 blaster pistol Scatter Gun (Star Card) Dioxis Grenade (Star Card) Adrenaline Stim (Star Card) The new game mode ‘Extraction’ will require the rebel side to ‘Extract’ some resources from the Outer Rim, and get them back to their ship before the timer runs out, whilst the empire team attempts to prevent them. As well as this new game mode players will be given two new maps, one will be a smelting factory on Sullust, and the other will be Jabba’s iconic throne room set on Tattooine. This is only the first DLC pack to be released for Battlefront with more lined up in future, and although ‘Outer Rim’ doesn’t initially look like much – this and other content in future will definitely keep the game current and replayable. The other DLC set for release in the future are ‘Bespin’ which will be released in the summer, ‘Deathstar’ available in the fall, and a currently untitled piece of content set for a 2017 release. So by this timeline alone it’s clear that Dice and EA have plans to keep Star Wars fans hooked on Battlefront. from: http://n4bb.com/star-wars-battlefront-outer-rim-dlc-includes-new-characters/ Edited March 9, 2016 by somme Automerged Doublepost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Getting pretty disappointed by people when playing this game. Sometime it feels like it's camper's galore and I'm the only one who is actually moving towards the target. Took a capture point to 90-95% take over all by myself. Do you know how slow that is? I must have killed close to ten players in attempt to take it. The only one who came to join me was my parter that spawned next to me. His first action was to run away to god knows where. Anyway I'll probably be playing it anway for most of the day. Join anytime. Edited March 13, 2016 by Tales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
