This thread, so much negativity, there is.

I thought the beta was a blast with great sound and visuals. This game will sell like hotcakes this christmas with the new film out. :smile:

No single player, i'm not biting. :disappointed:

Why do people come on this thread to moan about the game? If you don't like it move on no one cares.

I'm gonna wait until the Ultimate Edition is down to £20, by which time I'll be playing a single player mode as I'll be the only one on the server.

let's hope there will be some youtube videos so others can deside, still don't know to buy or not.
lack of single player :disappointed:

No single player, i'm not biting. :disappointed:

Having played the "beta" (a month before is a demo) I thought this game was awful. No weapon feedback, terrible map design, unbalanced & such limited control over vehicles. I reckon people should try it before preordering if they have an Xbox One.

Single player campaign should have been added. As far as the beta went, I couldn't see any real progression, the weapons were all just laser blasters of differing damage and fire rates, no real difference in their handling.

I think it's expensive to ask for a full game price then a season pass on top of that, when games like Black Ops 3 offer, campaign, deep multiplayer, and zombies for the same price.

this one will be bargain bucket purchase for me, which I don't think will be long.

Not on there yet :disappointed:

This thread, so much negativity, there is.

I don't think this game will be going cheap anytime soon. Also being a Star Wars licence I don't see it entering the vault either.

​Thanks dl now like you said got to go into games as if to buy then dl trial.

so the game costs circa £40 - can you play it?

Or do you then need to buy the season pass too?

Pre ordered this through flubit last night for £36.64 on ps4 can't wait beta was awesome.

If u have ea access.. I thought u could play the games however long u wanted? is this really for only 10 hours?

Downloading now

EA Access is only around £13 on the other marketplace to :wink:

Started downloading this morning so it will be ready when I get home from work :smiley:

If I have pre ordered and have ea access do I still only get 10 hours?

Played the beta on PC- that's enough for me. Fun for a short while but just the same old.same old gameplay.

Yep otherwise bit pointless having a specfic release date thinl of it as a way to sample and start the full game.

Purchased EA access just for early access to this game & the fact I wont have to change disks to play BF4 or BF:HL - pure laziness :smiley:

Why do people come on this thread to moan about the game? If you don't like it move on no one cares.

No single player? Meh - didn't know that. Not bothering - saved me £40! :smiley:

Played the beta for a couple hours and I was bored. I'll give it another chance with the trial.

Heat!
Actual link for the trial:
https://store.xbox.com/en-GB/Xbox-One/Games/STAR-WARS-Battlefront/6dc74b2b-46ae-44f6-bfe0-0e49c4e78733

Had the game on pre-order for a while using the cheap Singapore credit deal from a bit back. Can't wait to play this!!

I thought it was free to play up until release

I missed out on the beta but I have faith that any bugs will be fixed before release. They fixed quite a few bugs from the hardline beta in the final release (They've learnt their lessons from BF4)

​You won't be getting Battlefront as a full game for a loooooooooong time. 6 months? Absolutely no chance I'm afraid.

Having a little confusion now...

I have access to EA access. Will I still need to buy SW BF or is it coming as part of the EA access vault?

All you guys moaning you need to see all the modes they have added, it is amazing.... Hero on hero just for one will be amazing

Been counting down the days to this being released ever since I played the Beta. I loved it, even though I'd never watched a single Star Wars film at the time. I've now watched all six and have the game pre-ordered.

I'm not normally into multiplayer games but this really is brilliant if you're a Star Wars FPS fan. Sure I would have loved a campaign, but there are single player missions which you can play to get you up to speed with the MP.

I'm playing this on a mates XBOne now. If you're a Star Wars fan but avoiding this as you're not an MP fan then you're missing out on something really special.

They should never of done a beta as I am sure people are being a bit thick and they think the beta was it.....there is so much more to play in modes....will be great fun

Can not find it on ea access, is it out yet?

Never mind, found it when I filtered trials

You get 10% off the full game if you've got EA Access too - and that can be the only part of this that would be considered a "Deal". Having access to games isn't a deal, it's something you've paid for when you bought a sub to EA Access.

This site is weird sometimes.

Ok guys I am in the game, here are the modes

Blast
Cargo
Walker assault
Supremacy
Fighter squadron
Drop zone
Droid run
Hero hunt
Heroesvs villains

I'm gonna wait until the Ultimate Edition is down to £20, by which time I'll be playing a single player mode as I'll be the only one on the server.

I too was disappointed that there was no single player and the Beta I found fairly crap to be honest. It's a real shame that games like CoD have pretty much ruined the FPS Genre for games because all I saw were people running and gunning. Battlefield wasn't about that aspect but more of the tactical side of things yet people were still dumb and interested in kills only. It will be ruined when Battlefront comes out which is a real shame because I was looking forward to it but now with Fallout 4 being released I decided to cancel my order and wait until it goes down in price.

I probably will to be fair, I always give games a fair chance to persuade me to buy lol

Thanks for posting! The reason I appreciate posts like this is because it brings attention to something I might have missed!
Peoples opinion on a product is irrelevant not to mention the most annoying part of this "deals" site

Quite enjoyed the beta, but no campaign is a deal breaker for me...

Is progression retained when the full game is released?

It is indeed.

Dont have an xbone or I probably would :smiley:

It's even less of a Freebie than it is a Deal, but I get what you're saying :laughing:

BF4 campaign was completely forgettable, BFHL campaign was so dull, I stopped playing after an hour...
Why complain about a "missing" game mode when the life of this game is clearly in multiplayer mode?

Pick up a copy of KotOR or TFU if multiplayer is not your thing.

I have played bf2, 3 and 4. Also most of the CODs.
I have never ever tried doing the campaign as I much prefer the multiplayer.
I tried campaign in BF hardline, that is just pure pony.

I paid £51 for the ultimate season pass edition & £15 to renew my EA Access through the colombia Xbox store.
Used VPN & a Travelex Supercard. Game even unlocks 2 days early for me :o)

Already Rank 6 - finding the dogfighting levels up quite quickly as the games are short & big bonus if you dont die

Should of been £47 from Colombia if you had ea access :smiley: nice saving in £105 here in uk

A star wars campaign would be nice though but I'll still buy just for mp.
Having grown as a star wars fan, I have always wanted something like this game anyways.

Guys tip 1... Don't play blast, it is for COD market, play the 40 man levels, they are superb, I just killed the emperor :smiley:

Colombia store let you pay direct via your card ?

I can buy direct from Hungary, but they've stopped it from US/India now & I cant be bothered faffing with gift cards.

It's in deals section because it requires a paid subscription , downloading now can't wait until my preorder arrives really liked the beta

Some require VPN, Hungary and the US is one of the territories that don't.

I purchase from Hungary/US/Brazil(need to use gift cards for this region due to requiring a Social security number if paying by card)/Singapore/Colombia etc

Will give it a go - may bring back good memories of the old game :smiley:

can't find this in ea access..

I did that and it only came up the the preorder game not the trial... I will try again..

ok I will give it try. I always find the xbox store a bit counter intuitive..

so that's game over then :smile:

Thanks, I'll try that out again. I know Hong Kong still wont accept cards, tried that earlier :smiley:

Anyone know the difference between the standard, deluxe & ultimate editions ?

Has anyone else been able to purchase Battlefront through the Colombia store? I'm looking for the cheapest price for the Ultimate Edition if anyone has any ideas?

Thinking of cancelling my £35 Amazon pre-order and going digital...

Found it.

Deluxe:

Included in the “deluxe” edition (you’ll understand the quotes in a moment) are the following items:

DL44 blaster – as made famous by Han Solo
Ion Grenade
Ion Torpedo
Ion Shock (exclusive emote)
Victory (exclusive emote)

The first three items on the list (the blaster, the grenade, and the torpedo) aren’t exclusive. They are listed as “instant access,” indicating that you can unlock them through normal play (confirmed to us by EA).

That leaves two purely cosmetic items separating the standard edition from the “deluxe” version. Instead of simply including these things for pre-orders (as has become common), EA is charging $10 for them.

Ultimate:

Season pass

£46.39 from Columbia if you have EA Access (Ultimate edition with Season Pass)..........

Don't suppose anyone got a spare ea access one month trial have a one month ps plus code to send

i looked first thing this morning for this and couldnt see it? was it through the app or just on the xbox store as a demo?

Just tried - wouldn't let me pay by card for Columbia.

Uh oh, Natwest are texting me now..........

Tried purchasing from Hong Kong, Columbia & Hungary today !

Got the Colombian deal a few days back, absolute bargain for the Ultimate.

Set this going before work this morning, Cannot wait to get home and spend the evening being moaned at by the Mrs as I take over the TV

For me, i don't think i could go for the xb1 version, mainly due to the graphics. Due to the cutbacks made in the visuals, i found it incredibly difficult to see other people from distance. It was the same problem with battlefield hardline. Luckily i have a gaming rig as well

Got absolutely caned on the beta, some people were running around as Darth Vader twirling light sabres while I was getting shot by the AT-ATs! :man:

Revolut app ??

Googling.....

I will give it a go though seeing as though i have ea access.....

This looks too good to be true ??

EA Access is roughly £15 if you buy on xbox.com via Hungary

And great sound and visuals does not ensure a good game, just like explosions and CGI doesn't make a great movie.

No doubt in my mind it will rake in the money, but I can be fairly sure that plenty of copies of this game will hit the shelves of CEX within 3/4 weeks.

Yeah, no fees? What's the catch?

Thanks for sharing though, Aeschylus. I'll read more into it.

Done a bit of research, it's recommended on MSE. Just ordered a physical card as well, I'll top up & try out this afternoon.

Drop me a PM if you sign up, I think we get a free fiver if recommended.

No catch at all, set up a Colombian account, add revolut card as payment, make sure you preload it with enough funds...£50 is fine.... Make sure you have ea access then use a vpn Not Hola, I use a trail from one of the paid versions...log into Colombia with your vpn, go to Xbox.com change to Colombia at bottom of page, buy game...mine was £47.16 for ultimate....vs £104.99 at UK :smiley:

It is brilliant and while it remains as it is now it has the capacity to embarrass banks....1 little tip if you want to make sure the payment 100%goes through just live message them what you are about to buy, as I read a couple of people had issues...I did not though

I've just asked them a live question, so I'll do that.

I've got a VPN, not sure if Columbia is on the list, but I bet US is !

What address did you use to set up the MS Columbia account for the card ? Your own address with a Columbian city/post code ?

If you buy a game for the single player mode you really are a freak.

Just saying. :smile:

Haha, Los Santos is on there :smiley:

Right, on my to do list later. Ordered a physical card as well, can I withdraw funds from an ATM then abroad with zero fee's ?

How does the convert work. Do you need to convert cash before its used online, or just if withdrawing abroad ?

​Not exactly a stretch.....seeing that every game has tonnes of copies in CEX after 3-4 weeks. Nothing new.

Am I ok to drop you a PM later this afternoon? My phone's died and I've not got my charger with me so I can't do anything until I get home :disappointed:


Many thanks for the guide, I really appreciate it.

I fully moved to Colombia. Well the British embassy. Just google their address

Haha sound. I know the likes of Hungary require the correct address bar city & postcode, I'll do the embassy for this one.

Cheers

Cold - not a deal.

I'll be picking the game up ad already preordered.

Does the address on your revolut card have to be Colombian too or can that be your UK address as just set up my card and went to buy but keeps telling me it won't accept it, I'm using VPN too

I used VyprVPN (Free Trial)
& Travelex Supercard - no problem.
I used a fake colombian address (just find a school or college, etc. via goggle)

Lol if you're on PS4. Been playing this most of today on Xbox, much better since the beta.

Hurrah! Can't wait to get home now! Forgot this was today!

Can't actually remember the last time I properly played an actual campaign on this genre of game. I always tend to head straight for online multiplayer!

Pre-ordered, if I don't enjoy the trial (which I will be amazed if I don't....) then I cancel the order and don't lose any money!

Thank you for sharing!

10 hours gameplay, 1 week ahead of release isn't worth having?
Or is it that it's "free"?... You need EA Access to qualify which puts it in the Deals section.

if you want to use it whilst abroad you top up your revolut account before going, otherwise your bank will sting you for fee's you don't even need to convert to local currency revolut does it for free.

your street /town address the rest columbia

No, revolut is exactly as normal, just your ms account needs to be Colombian

Been playing for the last hour or so. My fave gun (the cyclic sniper rifle or whatever it's called), isn't available for aagggeeeessssss.

The dog fight mode is quite good as well :smiley:

Does anyone know what the size of the full game will be? I have a lot of games I plan on buying first but if it's quite small I won't get it.

Isn't this just a feature of EA access? Being able to play a trial? Or am I being stupid and missing something?

And EA access is at a discounted price? No, it is RRP for EA access and for that RRP you get..... EA access. Great. Not a deal.

So apparently PCs are expensive, but console gamers pay to get online, then pay publishers for extra online features, then get access to free demos and consider it a good deal? Lol. Ice cold.

To be classified as a deal surely an EA Access saving on RRP is required? Cheap heat. Mick Foley would be proud.

Just brought ea access to play this and downloaded all the other games as a bonus :wink:

Thick is subjective, and confused would be more of a sensible word.....oh...this is a forum on the Internet, I am not liasing with the queen, writing a C.V or anything in general where I give a country **** if it is written to the exacting standards of a fellow poster
But when I converse with said people I will be sure to check me gremmer...ok with you?

Have been playing this for a few hours now.
Love it. Glad I preordered it now.
Riding Speeder Bikes, flying Snow Speeders and X-Wings and strangling rebel scum using the force....

True but brought 2 codes lasting for 2 years for £30 from eBay :wink:

REALLY THERE IS NO SINGLE PLAYER?????!!!!

I don't get why people would cry over lack of single. FPS's are all about the online, why waste anyone's time with a mode that can be completed before lunch and no replay value.

This'll be dead quicker than BF: Flatline.

They are just poor value.

The majority can be completed in a weekend and then you cant be bothered replaying it anytime soon.

Beta was great, who cares if there's no campaign, these days longevity is in multi player anyways, now let's blast that rebel scum, hot

Dunno if it's my external HDD but the load times are utterly appalling... 5-10 mins to get into a game, by which time it's nearly over - 1 hour of my trial gone, total play-time ~2 mins :disappointed:
Deleted & downloading to the internal HDD to see if that makes a difference... Anyone else playing from USB / with appalling load times?

Mine is fine in external

Can anyone confirm its ok to order this digitally & still be able to access the EA Access trial ? I recall someone earlier saying it caused them problems (before I order it !!).

All my digital games are installed on my external HDD. Takes me around 5s to be assigned a game......

I don't think the people (like myself) who're disappointed by the lack of a campaign really care about longevity, they just wish there was a mode which emphasised the cinematic atmosphere of the source material more than the moment-to-moment hectic fun of multiplayer. It's always nice to have both, particularly if the game is based on iconic imagery that for once would make a short single player story worthwhile.

Cheers, Columbia here I come......

cold, not good value. sony told me so

Try Singapore.

on the ps4 beta it had the fastest matchmaking in any game ive ever played, literally within 2 seconds from pressing the join button it would put me into a game (no external hdd)

Go to training. A full level on there. Also,they can be used in some of the larger maps.

EDIT ... And all the flying vehicles can be played in cockpit view too <3:sunglasses:

​Indeed, however I did say "done well". I'm talking Bethesda, Bioware type stuff.

Not crappy CoD 4 hour campaigns.

Failed again on the Columbia site using Revolut card......

Cheaper via Columbia. Just been onto support, it was an issue with my card account (added £41 & it credited it with £91........).

Should be fixed in 10 mins, so will try then & go from there !

You can just go to setting and transfer the stored game between hard drives, can do it with any games installed. No need re download again

Does this game support split screen please?

Woohoo - purchased, £44.70 for the ultimate edition :smile:

Wow, that was an absolute doddle!

Just bought Star Wars Ultimate Edition from the Colombian Store using VyprVPN and Revolut. I topped my card up with £45.50 and I now have 41p left! :smile:

I'm now off to cancel my Amazon pre-order...

Thank you to all of you who helped; zombrex, ChrisUK (I entered your name as a referral, hopefully it worked), bojangles for the VPN recommendation and Aeschylus.

I have that, think it's just a holding charge to confirm the card. Either way, we're £55 up lol.

Cheers mate

Ps, did that link work & give you a free £5 ?

https://revolut.com/r/chrispu

Just spoke to them on support about it. I was told that referral links expire if not used straight away, and that they're changing the referral system in the next week or so to ensure things like that don't happen again :disappointed:

They've really perfected their milking strategy.

- Sell the base game for borderline exorbitant prices.
- offer early access to day 1 DLC for pre-order sales.
- Give competitive advantage from leveling up
- Sell early access via a secondary subscription service, to allow players to get ahead of the curve on earning XP.
- Sell a deluxe edition that skips XP requirement for certain items.
- Sell season passes that contain DLC maps. Maps that will cause fragmentation & hasten the decline of the player base. The purpose being to encourage 'premium' players to move onto the next 'big thing' in a year's time.
- After which point they'll 'generously' make all the DLC free to bolster 2nd-wave sales to tightwads & skinflints.

They've successfully turned customers into nothing more than cows at a milking parlor; the only difference being you have to feed cows before you milk them.

sorry overgrown geeks, this isn't a good game

Voted cold as won't play on my ZX Spectrum! :smirk:

For all the people moaning about weapon recoil - Its a "LASER" weapon, what recoil do you expect!!!!!

For the people whinning about the maps, have you watched the films since playing? They are so close to the film its unreal !!!!!!


As for the ships, who cares the ships are amazing !!!!

Few reviews up, not great, 6 ish out of 10. One says a weekends' play, then you'll tire of it. Cancelled PS4 pre order. Was really looking forward to this so very disappointed. Looks like it is an attempt to cash in on the new film and flog add ons.

Desperately looking for someone who'd want to play it?

No Galactic Conquest...ridiculous. Anyone who played the original's will know how great that mode truly was!

Not exactly a deal merely an advertisement and it's not really free

Will give it a go, EA access is great value for £20 a year.

i think there's a 10% discount too when you buy the full digital game ..after you've tried it

​There are no links, because he is a desperate anti-EA whiner.

Why did you download again? You can move installed games between the internal and external drives or even have it on both.

I suspected that there could be some corruption...
I get 72mbps anyway so it only tooks a few hours... sadly, too late to try again...
Back on it tonight then :smiley:

£18.33, using O2 credit:stuck_out_tongue:

haha, NICE.... hats off to you sir! :smiley:

Can anyone do an idiots guide step by step guide to how to get it via the Columbian route mentioned?

Search on Youtube- one game reviewer (professional, not some random guy) has done a full in depth review - he isn't overly impressed.

Well firstly he has done a in-depth based on a few hours :smiley: also any reviewers who attended the EA preview is under embargo, so be very cautious of any reviews that come out before the embargo is over as they will likely be clickbait

Also longevity is subjective, seriously who really plays a game for years anymore? if you got 20 hours entertainment out of it for £40, that is £2 a hour, not really that bad hey! and if you sold it after that 20 hours for £20 it is a £1 a hour!

Try not being so negative, if you want a game that you will play everyday for hours and hours you want a MMO or DOta or something like that..

I didn't think the game was too bad, not 1 I would buy but 1 to rent.

Twitch tv will let you watch people playing it on either pc/Xbox or ps so will give a great indicator of what to expect. ;-)

Is someone able to PM me a trial EA Access code?

This game is class as an FPS, Star Wars and Battlefront fan. Been waiting since number 2 on PS2 for this to get realeased never thought it would see the light of day. Couldn't care less for no campaign, it's Battlefront.. Not Battlefield. Adding an 8hr single player story would've just been a waste of resources to me

Kind of a shallow gameplay but has amazing immersion. The season pass is a joke though!

I'd stick to just the EA Access version if you have Xbox. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2015/11/14/search-your-feelings-star-wars-battlefront-isnt-worth-60/

There is not many people who disagree that it is content light, the season pass is a essential purchase and from Colombia it make it £47 for Game and season pass....

Now once the Embargo is over you know and I know there will be lots of positive reviews as well, one should never base a video game purchase on what other people say in the media, you should know that...(unless it is overwhelmingly negative by everyone) I get that lots of people are angry that EA/Dice have hidden large swathes of the game behind a paywall, but alas there it is, no one forces anyone to buy it

I think videogamer summed this game up perfectly, when they said for the first few hours it's the best game ever, but there doesn't seem to be any substance once the initial "holy **** I am literally on hoth" factor has worn off.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/misc/xbox-one-buying-from-columbia-2322271?p=26452300

It should be around £13.47 from Hungary - same principle as this guide.

Hmm... :neutral_face:

I think its ridiculous that people will download a 20gb demo to play a couple hours but your free to do as you like its just funny that some will spend more time downloading the "trail" than they will get to play. I dont see how the thread was not deleted nevermind how its got so much heat.... Your not actually getting anything so wheres the deal ?

Erm, it's not a demo. It's the full game. So when your 10 hour trial runs out, the game is there waiting for you to play when it's released.

Think as predicted the full reviews are largely underwhelming. Consensus seems to be saying better to rent.

Stop worrying about reviews. I am 23 hours in and loving it.
