Star Wars Battlefront

[cdj]

Just before the holidays, we kicked off the first Star Wars Battlefront community event, where we asked you to play 500,000 hours as Han Solo and Luke Skywalker.

Today, we’re happy to let the community know that you smashed the 500,000 hours played mark, playing over a total of 1.2M hours as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo between START and FINISH. Most impressive.

This achievement is worth a special reward that directly ties to Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. What could this reward be? In true Jedi fashion, it will be revealed in the coming update this month. You will want to look to Hoth to show the fruits of your labor once the January update has been released. Stay tuned to our official channels for more details.

Anyone into Star Wars want to try and decipher any clues on what the reward may be?

Are Snowtrooper outfits in the game?

Maybe they'll put in the Hoth battle from Empire Strikes Back. Like it was on the N64? Star Wars game.

Took me just short of 60 hours (I suck) but finally got to Rank 50 Tuesday. I think snoop is the only other one here to do that.

New free DLC has been potentially announced via a video by EA Brazil.

Reportedly included in the free content are a new map based on Tatooine, new outfits for Luke and Leia, private matches, daily challenges and special community events.

More content is good but the shit I paid for better start coming out before this game starts becoming difficult to find a match on. Not only that, the premium DLC had better be more than a new map and new "outfits" for heroes.

I'm really surprised they haven't announced or detailed the first Season Pass content yet. IIRC the Season Pass was supposed to add new modes, maps, and characters. If they don't announce/release something soon, I'd guess they lose the interest of some people who were waiting for info before buying the Pass.

Especially when you can't start over in leveling up after hitting 50 such as prestige in CoD. Just collecting credits to buy every dumb face option isn't really fun.

Got this via GameFly queue (forgot it was on my list) its solid online MP but there just isn't enough depth to keep me interested or to justify a purchase.

Hello Star Wars Battlefront fans,

In the two months since we launched Star Wars™ Battlefront™, millions of you have been enjoying the authentic, immersive, and visually stunning Star Wars experience our team at DICE set out to deliver with Star Wars Battlefront.

As we said back in November, the release of Star Wars Battlefront was just the beginning. Our team has been listening to your feedback and building a calendar of new content and tuning changes we will be making to the game throughout 2016. All fans will get free* content that includes new maps for both multiplayer and Missions modes, the introduction of Private Matches, new Hero outfits, and more. Fans looking to get even more out of their Star Wars Battlefront experience can look forward to the Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass*, which will introduce a wealth of fresh content set across exciting new locations including Bespin, the Death Star, and more.

We began our post-launch journey together last month with the Battle of Jakku DLC, adding two new maps and the new mode Turning Point. Tomorrow, we are adding more free content to the game for all Star Wars Battlefront players, including:

• The Tatooine Survival map will now support the Blast, Droid Run, Drop Zone, Hero Hunt, and Heroes vs Villains multiplayer modes, and is called Raider Camp.
• New Hoth-themed outfits for Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, both of which will be available to all fans when they play as these two iconic characters on Hoth – these were unlocked by our players for completing our Heroes’ Holiday community mission last month.
• We are giving players the ability to create Private Matches, which makes playing with friends even easier.
• The introduction of Daily Challenges and Community Events. These are designed to rally the Community around certain goals and objectives, giving players the chance to earn credits and unlocks even faster. We'll have more news regarding Community Events and Daily Challenges in the days ahead.
• And of course, we are also including some overall balancing tweaks to both weapons and multiplayer modes.

In February, we will continue to add more free content for all players, including a new Survival mission on Hoth, and a brand-new Hoth multiplayer map that will support our larger game modes including Walker Assault, Supremacy, Fighter Squadron and Turning Point. Speaking of Turning Point, we are also excited to make this popular mode available on all maps that currently support Walker Assault and Supremacy in the February update.

In March, we will be adding another exciting new multiplayer map on Endor that will support Walker Assault, Supremacy, and Turning Point, and an additional Tatooine Survival map.

In addition to the free content we will be delivering through March, we will continue to listen to our community throughout the year and provide updates designed to make Star Wars Battlefront even more fun for everyone.

Now, a lot of you have been asking for more details around Season Pass, and we want to give you some more information today. Season Pass is going to give you more of the content you love -- maps and modes, Heroes, weapons, and more. We are thrilled to share with you the names of each digital expansion pack, as well as some details on what players can expect with each one and when they will be available.

• Star Wars™ Battlefront™ Outer Rim (March 2016) - Fight among the factories of Sullust and battle within Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine
• Star Wars™ Battlefront™ Bespin (Summer 2016) - It's hunt or be hunted in this action-packed experience set in the Cloud City of Bespin
• Star Wars™ Battlefront™ Death Star (Fall 2016) – That’s no moon! One of the most iconic locations in the Star Wars universe makes its debut in Star Wars Battlefront.
• Star Wars™ Battlefront™ Expansion Pack 4 – Title TBA (Early 2017) – We will have more details to share about this exciting new expansion pack in the coming months.

All this content is available as part of the Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass, available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and on Origin for PC. Each digital expansion pack will also be available separately. Head on over to our website to learn more about all the exciting content you can expect.

At DICE, we're passionate about what we've created with Star Wars Battlefront, and are committed to supporting not only the game but all of our fans over the months ahead. We can’t wait to keep traveling through the galaxy far, far away, with all of you.

And as always, may the Force™ be with you!

Interested in seeing some of the Death Star stuff.

Nice to see that there will be some new weapons as well! That's much needed since there aren't any weapon progressions like the ones in Battlefield or COD!

Yep. I agree completely. Looking forward to the update!

Log in this weekend for 5,000 free credits.

[CLW]

Can you give away/transfer credits? All I play is fighter squadron so unless I am mistaken the credits are completely useless for me.

You cannot and you are correct. At this time, credits are useless for Fighter Squadron.

[steelerfan]

If anyone is down for some Battlefront tonight, let me know.

[steelerfan]

There is now an option for "Private Match". You can play with only those you invite. We need to do that this weekend!

Hell even I'd try some different modes for a TGT only throw down and of course I'd like to see how my skills stack up in Fighter Squadron .
