Horrible as in terribly balanced. It should have been reserved for only Han Solo. At the very least, it should be something you unlock very late in the game, not an excuse to pay an extra 10 dollars just to have the edge over those who didn't spend the extra couple bucks to get it early.

Ah right. I thought you meant horrible as in a bad weapon.

But you unlock it as early as Rank 25. On top of that, pre-orders/Digital Deluxe Editions got it right away. Because we've gotten to the scummy point of gaming that an advantage that completely breaks a game's balancing is A-OK to give away as a bonus!

I'm not often one for remasters, but when it comes to this, I'd just highly prefer an HD remaster if not a substantial remake of Battlefront 2. That would blow the entirety of EA/DICE Battlefront, (yes even counting the inevitable DLC that prbably should've been in the game to begin with) out of the water in comparison, ratios talking here.This game, while not completely terrible is sorely lacking in ANY content. I'd even go as far to say that the very first Battlefront game provided a more legit experience and assortment of content.

Actually the first one did have more content, for example space vehicles in any battle as support

I've used the DL-44 quite a bit myself but now I veer more towards either the DH-17 or the T-21. Sure the DL-44 is really good at close range, I believe it's within 20 metres, but anything beyond that and it's pitiful.

As in it does 19 damage per shot, that'd take around 6 shots to kill compared to my T-21's 3 shots at any range.

So @The Eleventh Doctor and I played a few games earlier together.

This one was insane

Wow. Just wow.

Seriously?

2 maps per map pack? 

Are you fucking kidding me?

£40 for a season pass with less than 9 maps?

EA, just fuck off.

There's not only 2 maps per map pack, there's 16 maps in total. 

Which works out at around 4 per map pack - which is the standard for DLC.

There's also 4 more Heroes coming.

Those quantities are in the Season Passes description.

You're also getting a bunch more free maps, including 2 WA sized ones.

It's lame that there's no new planet in pack 1.
