Absolutely!! It's very winnable for both sides. However, it IS true that if the Rebel Alliance does not play team, then they are most likely screwed from the very beginning ...

Mostly headshots. Usually if you land a good torso shot and they're not far away it takes them way low and you can quickly finish them off with your blaster rifle. :)

Alright good to know. I was afraid that everyone here were head hunters lol.

Yep, it gives 90 DMG anywhere but the head, so 10 HP left if at full life. I had quite a lot of fun with the cycler I must say :)
1. You are looking at my signature.
2. Now you think "Of course I am, you bloody idiot!".
4. You did not realise I skipped bullet point 3.

Yeah it's a fun gun to use and nicely balanced with it being on a timer.

Man I gotta start practicing on other shooters (now that the beta is done) so I remember how to kill quickly and efficiently. And then get a few h4xusations.

I've seen a lot of people say that the Hoth battle felt very unbalanced, but I have to say, I completely disagree. If you're in a group with some fairly competent people, it's VERY winnable from the Rebel side. I would say out of the 20 matches or so I played, Rebels won about 11. Which actually puts the Empire at the losing side of the balance.

...

It seems, as someone else here noted that the true key to victory in Battlefront rests in team play, cooperation, and coordination. Which is sometimes very hard to come by in random PUG groups. lol

I am actually very glad to hear that. I only wish that I had been able to experience more moments of the game where that was taking place.

I played Walker Assault probably only 3 or 4 times on each side and people working together or even attempting to do the objective instead of just trying to rack up kills seemed nearly non-existent in my case. I would try to stay with other players and work toward claiming satellite uplinks or defending them, but mostly I just saw a lot of random chaos. On the Empire side, that strategy still is mostly effective... get an AT-AT or AT-ST powerup and blast the hell out of the rebels actually trying to defend an uplink allows you to be an effective solo member of the Empire much of the time. I also never found or was able to use a Snowspeeder unfortunately.

Anyhow...
I know I'm going to be getting this game at some point. Guess I just need to add some people who want to play this game as a team on the PS4. ;)

  • Fear is not real. It is the product of thoughts you create. Danger is very real, but fear is a choice.

I know what you mean, I fell ya. The players of this game complain and hate on this mode because they think it is one-sided, that the empire always wins. That's not always true. I've played the beta since the day it came out and I have won plenty of times as the rebels. The problem is that the "casuals" aka 12-year-olds-with-no-lives-pwning-noobs-cuz-they-play-CoD-all-day play during the day and afternoon and all they care about is racking up kills, they don't EVER stay on the objective. If you had a decent amount of people with some teamwork, get the uplinks running, and defend the position, you can EASILY win as a rebel. But NOOOOOO, they think this is TEAM FREAKING DEATHMATCH. I play during midnight,when the other side of the world is awake and my side is sleeping. At that time, it gets really intense. I've been in a game where we destroyed both AT-AT within the first area with 8 Y-wings! The BEST way to do win as a rebel is get an orbital strike, SAVE IT, and wait until the AT-AT's are vulnerable, the orbital strike will take 80% of damage instantly! Also, Ion shots. USE ION SHOTS AS A REBEL! I've destroyed an AT-ST all by myself just by using the Ion shot card. I get up close enough to it so it'll be harder for it to get me with it's cannons, if it does get too close or if I just want to kill it without stopping to fire, I jump over it with the Jump pack. Again, this takes some practice and confidence. I got gradually good at this game, I once had a 37 kills to 7 deaths when I was playing a good round.
Light and darkness, you cannot have one without the other. To achieve equilibriem you must be in harmony with both; the path between.
