May the 4 and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 - Han solo season.

Very nice! I am looking forward for what content is coming. Excited!

Also the news about more content for arcade is nice. Hopefully we will see an online private matches system 🙂 

I bet there will be a lot of bug fixes accompanied with the season. So let's hope for performance issues across platforms (loading times and such)

Remaining BF2 playerbase: Clone Wars, please?

DICE: nah

I suppose Disney probably controls the whole process, but this is a really bad decision.

Yea Clone Wars stuff is without a doubt the most requested @felker_s , but I find it logical that they want a Han Solo season right now (with the upcoming movie).

However, there might be more than only content from SOLO, since it is called 'Han Solo Season' for a reason. It may be that they will add some other maps from the outher rim as well, in the trend of Han Solo. My guess is that we will get some new maps together with a version of Jabbas palace. (maybe extraction? who knows...)

Logical ≠ good. People are already sceptical about the movie itself (I think it is totally unnecessary, and based on what we've seen does not even feel like SW), this will not generate hype for it, just even more salt towards both the movie and the game.

Problem is that they always just go for the marketing aspect. The game does not lack Han Solo related content, it already has Han Solo and Lando, and plenty Empire-era maps... And we already have two different Falcons, for God's sake. Also, Solo does not even correspond with anything regarding the timeline, and even if we get new heroes, they will probably be weightless characters (compared to the ones we have), long dead in any other timeline - and I guess even in their own, at the end of the movie.

Not considering what the game actually lacks, and just blindly pushing corresponding content to a movie is counterproductive, even if it's free content, after all. But as it has been said many times, it was ridiculous even at launch that we didn't have Obi-Wan and Anakin for example, and this is beyond reason now. I simply do not care about the Solo movie, and it's obvious that I am not alone.

The missing of Obi-wan and Anakin in the game is definitely sad for a SW game. They are the main characters of the films and should have been there at launch.

Regarding the SOLO movie, I don't know yet. I did like the style of the trailer, but it may not add anything to the current Skywalker story-line. However, I was sceptical about Rogue-One at first, but I really like it. That move should really the struggle of the normal people in the SW Universe and showed a good portion of war.

I don't hope they add another Falcon to the game, that would be completely unnecessary. I've no idea which characters from SOLO could be added to the game, but they are surely less important than Obi and Anakin. Probably getting some skins for Lando, Han and Chewie (all three with a new arm patch). 

Somehow I see them porting over Greedo this month, together with some other bounty hunters that most people never heard of. 

No Single Player content? No ability to play the ENTIRE multiplayer game offline? 

Then it's all pointless to me.

I have no interest in new skins/characters or maps when the game you are playing is still the same. What exactly is so fun about doing the same repetitive things online over and over again just with a new skin or character? Nothing. Either add new things to the base game, or forget it. This "Season" stuff just just skins, characters/ships, and maps. They offer nothing new. 

8am or pm

Even clone wars if probably the most requested content, a lot of people seem to forget that the galactic civil war is just an equal part a lot of fans, including myself, grew up with.

Im not especially hyped for the Solo movie, since the huge let down from Last Jedi, but Solo Content means Civil War, Tie Fighters, X-Wing Squadrons and more of the iconic OT stuff.

Im really looking forward to the Solo season, its not like there wont be clone wars content in the future.

I did not forget about the Galactic Civil War, and I love the Original Trilogy just the same. Bashing that was never my point - my point was that there is plenty of characters and maps from that era already, and almost none from the Clone Wars. This is not okay in a game advertised as "across all eras".

Also, based on the trailers, nothing in Solo feels iconic. Too many high-profile actors running around technology and visuals that also highly differ from the Civil War era. It is not even strictly in that era, so none of the new characters and locations will actually match up with the existing content.

I know that Clone Wars will eventually come - my problem is that after playing ever since launch, the content grew old, and CW would have been exactly the solution, because it actually differs enough from the existing content to feel fresh.

Well, clone wars has exactly the same amount of content than the other two eras.

Two maps in SA Ryloth & Kamino
Three Maps in GA Kashyyyk, Kamino and Naboo
+ they also got two special maps (which were not "cut out" of the big ones) Naboo Hangar + Kashyyyk Treehouse.

The only point were you are totally right is the lack of heroes for that era.
And yes Obi Wan, Anakin Grievous and Dooku are definitely missing, but I dont mind waiting for them. At least this way I can look forward to future content. However, I'd like to see Tarkin and Thrawn just as much as Id like to see Grievous and Dooku.

About the movie - we just dont know what we get. Personally, Id liked the Last Jedi Season in Battlefront much more than the movie. Phasma is by far not such a huge disappointment as she was in the movie. Actually I really like her in the game. I like the Crait map design, the idea they had with the "smoke screen speeders" and the battle is more fun than it was to watch it in the cinema. But again, thats just my opinion.

So aside from the obvious "young" skins, we know nothing. I hope we get a map in/on the moving train, that'd be great!
