It's not over at all.
You can continue playing SWBF2 on GameRanger. GameRanger supports regular hosting as well as letting you host dedicated servers, and also fixes SWBF2's audio-input bug that affects a lot of people.
EA is officially recommending GameRanger as the multiplayer solution to their games that have been shut down.
The majority of players are now on GameRanger. (I'm the developer.)
No hacks or special configuration needed, it just works.
GameRanger also fixes SWBF2's audio-input crash-to-desktop bug so that you don't need to have a mic plugged in or mess with audio settings to get it to work.
> And really? You honestly think microtransactions will make it into a competitive first person shooter? Like you honestly believe that? That's daft.
Battlefield does have microtransactions; unless I am somehow misunderstanding the definition of the word. BF4 currently has purchasable battlepacks that allow players to rank up faster as well as weapon and vehicle shortcuts that allow the player to attain the weapons without actually playing. The fact that there is something called a weapon or vehicle shortcut to allow people who want to pay to get items that would otherwise take days to attain scares me. Who is to say that EA won't include a more microtransactions with Battlefront? EA has been including more purchasable content incrementally with each game.

>And if you want to know well battlefront 3 is going to be. Watch bf4. Which after ea fucked up initially, is doing a BEAUTIFUL job of learning from their mistakes, and even adding in New features to the game that have been suggested by fans of all places.
Yes that's great of course. I applaud them for being able to fix many of the problems as well as introduce many game elements that the community wanted. But the fact is that it came 7 months after the game's release. Is it not normal and completely understandable for players to worry that the game we have all been waiting a decade for will come out in the same state as BF4? Although OP did not express his concerns very well that is still a very valid concern of the playerbase and one that is completely worthy of commenting. I'm all for being optimistic and an super excited for this game. However you can't blame people for raising completely legitimate concerns.
Try this out http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri
I really doubt it, and it wouldn't be fun playing at minimal settings either. You can get yourself a gaming PC for the price of a console if you assamble it yourself check out /r/buildapc
Basically jsut login to EA Origin website with your account. Go to Order History where you see Battlefron. Click the [+] sign on the left. And click "Request Refund".
Just to be clear, I did this and they were very helpful and quick about getting me my refund. I really wanted to play this game, but I was literally unable to due to server shenanigans.
edit: It sounds like we had identical experiences with the game, were you on PC btw?
Honestly don't listen to people's opinions on the internet about the game there's a strong anchoring bias going around I reccomend trying the game out yourself and seeing if you like it before buying though if you have a PC get an origin account play it for a hour and make your decision then return the game for a refund https://www.origin.com/en-gb/great-game-guarantee?login=WyIiXQ%3D%3D
You could use software such at this to emulate a 360 controller. Anything compatible with a 360 controller (which is a lot of games) will then work flawlessly with yours.
tried that twice and hasn't worked >.<. Gonna try installing it on my brothers console and see if it works on his. https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=b662fd81f40f46fc&id=B662FD81F40F46FC%21111&ithint=video,mp4&authkey=!AP16dYVxl6wG0QM That's what happens on every map. Some more severe than others.

Is the US link, considering four of my five friends were unable to see the glaring orange "click me" buttons and figure it out.
I don't see why OP has the help ticket linked. It's a huge waste of time when you just go to that link and get the download.
ive stumble upon on some few lags of various 5-10 sec but nothing big. 1. Have u checked your connection? 2. Have your computer got the required specs?-> if ur not sure, Heres a simple way to verify http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri
That's what most people thought at first, but it was later confirmed that the main game was being developed in Stockholm, with DLC and such being developed in LA.
Great idea. The diversity for some characters would be massive
Luke - Tatooine, Reb Pilot, Hoth, TLJ Old Man Luke Leia - Princess, Hoth, Endor, General
Though some characters would be tough like Vader (helmet on/off?). Or maybe he could get an Anakin reskin that'll whine about how sand gets everywhere.
Personally, I would pay real world $$$ to have skins like they do here:

a list of a few things i've tried suggested by other forums:
Go back to XBOX1 try to launch the game and go to Multi Player. It should work fine.
THIS DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE when i sign into origins with my kids' EA accounts, the only thing in the menu bar above is "MY GAMES", no "friends" nothing.
***I've also looked into trying the suggestion of changing your kids' age in their xbox live account. I have not been able to find those options. IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO DO THIS, PLEASE SHOW ME.
Here's a quote directly from their website:
>Can I pre-load the Beta?
>You can pre-load the Beta on Origin for PC beginning at 1am PT/10am CET on Wednesday, October 7th. Check https://www.origin.com/store/free-games/demos-betas on October 7th at 1am PT to start your pre-load.

On PC. From the website

BattleFIELD has a premium thing, where you basically buy the game twice ($120 bucks at launch usually) and you get a ton of awesome stuff with it. I am HOPING SO HARD that they will have it for battlefront. But it doesn't look so at the moment.
If you don't know about premium for battlefield, here is a link to the battlefield 4 store page you can check it out there. Its just way too much to copy down. https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/buy/battlefield-4/pc-download/addon/battlefield-4-premium
It also enables access to the community test environment. which is a fucking glorious thing. Its a place where you play beta versions of the game and give feedback to the devs about how to make things better. They are currently remaking 3 maps into night time because we asked for them! ^_^
Nice! I'll check 'em out.
Here's the link to the forums for an activator. Some person said that it's easier in the file.fm mirror, so here (should be the first download on the list) it is.
I don't know of any that let you go into first person as a jedi, but my favorite mod is Conversion Pack 2.2 which adds all the maps from BF1 and more, plus the addition of a KotOR era, and dozens of new heroes and some new game modes.
Also not technically a mod, but downloading GameRanger will allow you to play online.
It's a PC download only. If you have Amazon Prime, you can also save an extra £2, so it's only £43.99.
Or if you're anywhere in the world apart from Korea, and you use a Korean VPN. I use FlyVPN. They have a free trial you can use. Use it just to activate the game (don't preload with it).
SK gets it earlier than anyone else apparently.
I received this talking to an Amazon rep :
Vignesh: Thanks for the order number. Please hold the chat so that I'll check your order and then get back to you. Thanks for waiting. On checking our website regarding the beta code, it has been listed as "Pre-order Star Wars Battlefront 2 before October 9th to receive the epic tier of Yoda’s Lightsaber Mastery Star Card. Codes will be sent on November 17th, 2017. Offer valid while supplies last, or until October 9th, 2017." For your reference, here is the link https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06ZXXYSJS
EDIT : Was then told this :
I've contacted our marketing team responsible to send the beta code and they'll contact you via email within 12 - 24 hours regarding the beta access. You'll receive a reply from them as soon as possible.
So fingers crossed my friends.
Alternatively you can buy the code from Amazon in which you can give the receiver to enter on their own Origin account.
