^ That's pretty good. I'm about 64% I think. I gave up a long time ago trying to complete them all haha.

I kinda gave up on BF II a long time ago. I just don’t have extra $$$ to spend on upgrades and such. I got creamed from the get-go, and it’s still happening. I do like the Geonosis map, though. I’ve gone back to play BF I, and I still enjoy it more. Random Hero power ups for all is the way to go. Evidently a lot of gamers agree. It’s still full to play most of the evening hours(Supremacy).
Good to hear there are still lots playing Battlefront. That was a fun game.
My feelings are that with Battlefront II you need to have above average skills if you really want to be successful. On top of that you need to play the game regularly to keep your skills sharp. I find for myself if I take time off when I come back it's really hard for a while.
Now with Battlefront, while it lacked content, it didn't take an above average skill set to be successful. Yeah of course the high end gamers still stole the show, but even your average gamers could still do pretty good. Lots of times I finished the top of some category. And I found if I didn't play it for a while and came back to it, I didn't need much time to shake the rust off as it was such a simple game.
ARGHFHGAGARGAGA!!!!!

^ I had a similar outburst tonight in GA when I spawned as Obi-Wan and was taken out mere seconds later by an Officer rolling around out of Lightsaber reach.
But yeah, HvV SUCKS. I only play it when I'm determined to getting a Hero leveled up.

Trying to level up Dooku. He’s the last one I have under 40. Still need 6 staff strikes with Phasma and the Push five or more with Luke to complete the milestones. Can’t wait to be done with the f***ing heroes. F***!!!! I get so pissed with that mode. So intolerable. You thought they fixed the match making but no. I’m always stuck with the sh***y team. F***ing ridiculous.

There is no balance to match making in HvV. Slaughtered or be slaughtered. No in between. I can't think of many times I have played a balanced match.
The worst is when you are getting slaughtered and after every kill the other players have to do emotes to each other. But then you get a couple kills on them and do an emote so they quit.

YEEEESSSS!!!!! Finally ****ing finished phasma staff strikes!!!!!!!!!
In Ewok Hunt, yes.
is this available all the time?
Yessir!!!!
You can't customize or improve the abilities of Ewoks. They are only available in one game mode and those little varmints are vicious enough as it is.
As for other characters; you can customize Troopers, Heroes, Ships and so on via Star Cards. Simply play the game for experience points. Each time you level up, you'll earn an ability point which you can then invest in increasing the effectiveness of Star Cards or unlock new Star Cards; depending on your level. Each Trooper/Hero/Ship/etc. Has a total of nine (I think) Star Cards to choose from; but you can only equip three cards at a time. You can mix and match almost any cards you like so long as they don't require the same slot usage. I'm making it sound more complicated than it is. You'll figure it out in no time flat. You can also purchase/unlock appearances for your Troopers and Heroes to customize their visual appearance a little.

Anyone know what happened to the Coruscant Guard skins for the Clone Troopers? I thought they were originally supposed to come in the Count Dooku update; but that didn't happen. Then I thought they were coming in the patch that contained the Count's Dark Ritual outfit; and that didn't happen, either. I can't seem to find any details on this matter. Does someone here know what's up?
I'm pretty sure that's coming with the Anakin update.
Well I think I've seen it all now. Just played a GA match on Naboo where an opposing player got 205 kills.
But we still won. Because objective > kills. Every time.

Oh, that's good to hear, but I thought the 501st color scheme was coming with Anakin? Are they dropping both Clone skins at once; or am I mixed up about the 501st altogether? And a kill streak of over 200 is insane; especially with how brief matches typically are. Highest kill streak I can remember seeing was less than 150; thereabouts. My personal highest is a scant 33; lol!
Haven't been playing much the past few days. I keep having connection issues. Sometimes it's good, then I get a few minutes of lag or the connection being dropped altogether. Also after a couple flawless weeks, the Specialist's Infiltration ability is glitching. Won't make enemies again. Hopefully a permanent fix is included in the Anakin update.
I've put some time in the past few nights.
They really should have implemented a system where you could do a little more customization beyond "skins". I'd love to be able to add bits and parts to my Clones like kamas and pauldrons. Even stuff for the Rebels and Resistance like ammo pouches etc. Also the Empire needs some customization love. I know it's slim pickings but maybe Shadowtroopers or something would be nice. I'd spring for for a TIE skin.

A TIE Pilot skin is my number one want in Battlefront II. It really bothered me in the first Battlefront that the rebels had an X-Wing Pilot uniform; but the Empire never got a TIE. So, so many awesome and fan favorite skins that EA COULD give us and simply don't; for whatever reason. I appreciate all the love and attention the Clones are getting; but there are five other playable factions as well. This game spans numerous eras of Star Wars; not just the Clone Wars. I want skins for the other factions as well. I would love to see Tactical Droids, Destroyer Droids, Magnaguards and Commando Droids for the Battle Droids faction. TIE Pilot, AT-AT Driver, Imperial Gunner, AT-ST Driver and Shadow Squadron for the Empire; as well as simply a black uniform variant for the Officer. Elite TIE Pilot and Executioner for the First Order. Lots of Aliens for the Rebel Alliance and Resistance; such as Mon Calamari, Bith, Trandoshan, Ishi Tib, Bothan, more.
And of course, deeper customization. Pauldrons, bandoliers, decals, even the ability to change genders. A female Twi'lik Specialist is cool and all; but maybe some of us want a male version just as some of us may want a female human Officer. All of that should be optional. I'm really grateful all of the updates and new skins have been free; but I'm at the point I'd simply pay for more skins for the other factions.
And while I'm on a skin/customization rant; let's have some love for the heroes, too. How about skins for Episode IV Luke, Leia and Han. X-Wing Luke and Bespin Luke. Darth Maul with hooded cloak. Darth Vader (Anakin version, with hood and Sith eyes). Episode III Emperor (Yoda duel), General Grievous with Cape. Battle Damaged Phasma.
So Anakin got nerfed. Knew that was coming. I think Finn needs to be taken back a step; long overdue.
I saw I had an update downloading yesterday, but I haven't played yet. Not to surprised Anakin got nerfed. Anything else? Hopefully a fix for the Specialist's Infiltration Ability. I thought for sure it would get a fix in The Chosen One update but NOPE. 
ARC trooper and Commando Droid revealed today.
Sounds cool. Glad to hear about a new Droid and not just yet another Clone. Now if the Rebellion and most especially the Empire can get a little new skin love.
Haven't tried the new game mode yet; but Count Dooku's new pajama outfit is straight up funny. A parody at this point. Getting killed by a Sith in his jammies; talk about adding insult to injury, lol. A rather pointless skin, in my opinion; but a humorous one.
I played the Capital Supremacy once. Tried a few other times but spent the entire time waiting for the player list to populate. Doesn't seem to be an overly popular mode.
As for the one match I did play, it was.....okay. It sounded pretty cool but honestly I found it underwhelming and boring, plus there were numerous graphics issues.

I'm with you there, 100%. Underwhelming and boring is a precisely accurate description. I've played the new mode three times now; twice as the Clones and once as the Battle Droids; and while the Commando Droid is pretty fun; I found the game mode overall to be pretty lackluster. Best thing about this was the introduction of the Infiltrator Class which is thankfully available on all Clone Wars era maps in Galactic Assault and not exclusive to Capital Supremacy; as I had originally feared.
Recent update supposedly fixed Capital Supremacy mode. Haven't played it any more, so I don't know for sure.
^ It's still boring haha.
The best thing to come from that mode is the Infiltrator Class. Both the ARC Trooper and Commando Droid are a lot of fun to play as.

Ha! That's what I figured! Agreed; the Infiltrator class is indeed the best thing to come from the mode. I enjoy both the ARC Trooper and the Commando Droid; but seem to lean to playing the Droid more frequently.
Glad to see a Princess skin for Leia. I sure hope this means new skins for the other heroes, too. I am a bit surprised at the means of unlocking this particular skin, though. EA practically bribing us to play their lackluster Capital Supremacy mode, lol. At least there's two maps now, which is good. I haven't tried the Kashyyyk map yet; so it'll be new for me.
Tried to play Capital Supremacy last night but just can't get into it, especially when it's drawn out. Galactic Assault is still the go-to large mode. They should add AI players to it as well.
Yeah, I'm all about Galactic Assault; pretty much the only mode I play. Occasionally, if there's a Double XP Event or some such; I'll play a little Heroes vs Villains; and once in a while I'll dip into Starfighter Assault to break the monotony.
Community's doing good work at unlocking Leia's princess skin. 2,173,257 of 4,000,000 with days left to go. To whom ever has contributed towards the goal; thank you! I'm sure they'll eventually offer the skin for sale; but this way it's free and we can all save our hard earned credits!
I captured like three command posts yesterday so you’re welcome 
^ Good work, Greedo. I think I captured or at least participated in the capture of three or four command posts myself. Maybe a couple more. I didn't really pay too much attention; I only played two matches as this mode simply doesn't hold my interest.
