They should have some heroes be Unlockable and some being a subtle from the start.I also think skins should be unlocked by using the character.Like how there’s the veteran and experienced achievements instead you would get a skin for each rather than credits.The rest of the skins could be for getting a certain amount of kills with them in a single match or getting them to a certain level.
How does this sound?
While I am open to the idea of unlockable heroes, I do not think it is necessarily a good idea. I recall one of the issues with the first couple new heroes BF2 released was that new players who joined after their release had to grind out the necessary credits to unlock them. Since heroes affect gameplay, I think all heroes should be automatically unlocked to all players.
As for some skins being unlocked via acheivements, I actually think this is a very good idea, since cosmetics do not affect gameplay. I especially think this could be applicable to some of the trooper and reinforcement skins. Hero skins, on the other hand, are the foundation for the extra revenue this game brings in via cosmetic-based microtransactions (with the exception of the Rare & Common Hero Skins). While I think the idea of locking skins to achievements could be widely used for the trooper & reinforcement classes, I believe it should be used sparingly with the heroes (maybe only one per hero at the most).
@SithApprentice39 The heroes wouldn’t be unlockable through lootcrates or micro transactions.You would unlock them by doing stuff like beating the campaign or beating all the battle scenarios (Any tier)
Marvel Celebration:
New Hero (light side): Sana Starros
New Hero (Dark side): BT-1
New Hero (Gray side): Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra
New Map SA: Mako-Ta Space Docks
New Map GA: Jedha (Destroyed)
Yes, from the canon Marvel comics series.
Sana Starros is a smuggler and friend of Han. She ended up helping the Rebellion.
This ist BT-1:
Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra is a rogue archeologist, who has worked for Darth Vader, but also helped out the rebels on occasion. She is the anti-hero of her own comic series.
The Mako-Ta Space Docks are where the rebellion build their new fleet, that got attacked by the Empire. During the battle, the Rogue Squadron was first named, Han Solo piloted a X-Wing and
On Jedha, that was now a dying basically uninhabitable planet, the empire returned to mine for more kyber crystals and the rebels sabotaged that mining operation.
On the other hand: We have played most battles from the movies (especially the OT era). This is an opportunity to add fresh content, without the developers just making battles up on their own.
I'm probably alone on this but I think Jar-Jar Binks and OOM-9 could make interesting heroes... if we have a football beating Vader, why couldn't we have the smartest B1 defeating Jedi? And Jar-Jar... he would probably be a meme character and is very hated, but again, there are already some characters ingame lot of people dislikes. I always think while its interesting and the gameplay works, even the worst characters are fun to play. So, some basic concept (if anyone is interested):
Jar-Jar: attacks with the gungan electropole - similar to Phasma's staff, but faster, different animation. Altough a melee character, but doesn't do as much damage as a lightsaber. His sprint speed and jump is similar to Bossk.
Health: 800; Health regen: 300
Abilities:
Left - Boomas; the traditional gungan electric grenades. Jar-Jar carries 3 of them at a time, that he can use similar to Leia. Boomas do less damage and have a smaller blast radius, but have increased damage agains vehicles and can stun heroes for a bit.
Right - Fool's luck; Jar-Jar is a bit of an idiot, but he's lucky for sure. While the luck is active, Jar-Jar recieves a health buff, an extra dodge, increased sprint speed and is hidden from enemy radars.
Middle - Confuse; Jar Jar's presence can be really annoying. I imagine Confuse working as the opposite of Finn's big deal - sintead of buffing your team, debuffs the enemy team. Their radars are scrabled if they're in Jar Jar's ability radius, their weapon gains more recoil, making aiming harder, and their abilities have a slower recharge rate.
OOM-9: carries a modified E-5 blaster rifle that has infrared vision when aimed with.
Health: 600; Health regen: 450
Abilities:
Left - Commander; During this ability, OOM-9 buffs himself and his teammates in a large radius - their health slowly regenerates, their abilities instantly refresh and their weapons get overloaded. The ability lasts for 8 secs.
Right - Orbital strike; OOM-9 calls down an orbital strike from the droid command ship that damages anyone in its radius. Inside, the orbital strike works as a shock trap, knocking multiple enemies down.
Middle - Ranged more; OOM-9 switches his weapon to a powerful sniper that shoots piercing bolts with the ability to damage multiple enemies at once. Can go through blocks and shileds, but has a slow fire rate and the player has to charge it for bigger damage.
Emotes: "Open fire!" "You will not stay hidden for long" "Seize fire"
The biggest problem with this hero is its looks on clone wars maps; in the heat of the battle, it would be really hard to see the difference between OOM-9 and the other B1-s. Even though in the movies he has yellow marks, switching it to a distinctive, bright orange color could help.
@CoffeeTonic Jar-Jar and OOM-9 would be very interesting for a Ep1 celebration update.
”OOM-9”
The mere mention of the true droid Hero’s name has really reminded me of a certain someone on the forums of old

Who dare awaken the ancient one?
Ah, memories.
They need to have C3-PO as a battle droid skin as seen in Attack of the Clones.That would be so funny to have him randomly talk during battle.They could do the same with a Chewbacca carrying C3-PO skin from Empire strikes back.
sadly, no BF3 in plan, all focus on Squadrons, so no new BF game for another 3-4 years at least.
Great concept
But I would lose the starfighter part
Keep some play in ground modes or it takes away the main aspect of being a trooper battlefront
That was the problem with the last one
Spread to thin
Ps I do like Starfighter Assault
Just don't flood the main mode with Hero's and enforcers
Bigger maps and a increase of players per side would help and less choke points
I’m kinda glad we aren’t getting a new battlefront for a while because that means ea has plenty of time to work on battlefront 3 and it can be good at launch unlike 2
