Ditch the Headsets We know what we have to do
Have not been playing for a long time, but unless you just want to meet new Ricky Recruits, headsets are not necessary in my mind. The objectives are clearly shown on the Hud also you can easily spot your crew. All the communication in the world is not going to save you when the matchmaking "SOMETIMES" has the odds stacked against you.
Changing multiple classes is the key, advantages to assault if you have the numbers, go heavy when there are choke points, specialists when the terrain is open or dense, never played officer so I don't see the benefit LOL.
@QuickSilver317 I wear a headset, but never use a mic - I just know what I have to do and just get on with it. Wearing a headset does have its advantages though, communicating with friends, family and other party members can be fun and helpful; But the reason I wear them is to hear everything that's going on in the game - it's a whole different experience with a headset on, especially if you have surround sound, wow!! What absolute joy!! StarWars really is built for surround sound, especially with that epic music masterpiece of a soundtrack filling your ears with such delights.
Matchmaking is a problem and it isn't. What I mean is, I have experienced being in lobby's where we are getting steamrolled. You have experienced players on one side and a bunch of noobs with one or two experienced players on the other side. Matches can be over quickly and doesn't make for a competitive game. On the other hand, our current system allows us to play against every player, regardless of what rank they are. Now I like playing with a mix of players from rank 0 - 1000, rather than being put in a lobby of just noob or experienced players. It just needs a little bit of tweaking here and there to make it more balanced, but not too much though.
I have asked Dice/EA to change this in the past to make it a more balanced system, but obviously fell on silent ears.
Try not to dish the officer, he is one of the best in my opinion. There are a lot more benefits to the officer than you realize? - This, I will leave for you to find out for yourself?
May the battlefront be with you, always...
