I'm waiting for a map, that is all speeder bikes and its 20v20 in the middle of a forest on Endor.
Since the thing that starts tomorrow is OB and you don't need keys for it, open to anyone.
I assume from the beta keys from above?

Are you on the PC? once you put in the code should be in your Origin Library to download.

Thanks Drakakur. Really interested to see if there is progression in this game.
Also all PC codes are used up. And the last two XB1 codes are now used up.

Welp i've got about 12 hours into the beta and I'm definitely not going to pre-order and will be waiting on till after release to read about balance issues before buying (even then I may just not buy).
The way they released it the one main map is fucken broken on rebel side. So much so that once the walkers get to the base section it's just a complete fuckfest. Really the only way to win on the rebel side is if people know to save the aerial bombardment for the walkers and/or you have complete air superiority. The vehicle spawns pick ups are static so people are camping them, which is to be expected in a game like this, but the problem is that if you're into that kill counter going up, you need to get into the walker or ATAT.
If this first map is indicative of the other maps then i'll def not be getting this shit. With the current card set up everyone is a sniper on a 10 second timer, so that's get's annoying too. The graphics / sound are insanely cool and apparently on release there are a ton more cards and weapons, but this beta is annoying as hell.

Its open tomorrow for anyone(Think its 10am pst) for the weekend.all the PC codes used up
thanks anyway!
Is there a way to sign up for beta?
I'm not sure if there is a separate more closed beta going on concurrent with that OB and until launch.
As for the Hoth Map, yeah probably a little favored in Empire side atm. Though I have seen games where rebels destroy the walkers in the first "shield-down" phase. Most likely the cause is empire can be more "just kill" and be fine, whereas the rebel side really need to play the obj to win at all. Though I imagine once players get the hang of it, you will see rebel win even more when they can just tow-cable and "one shot" each walker.

on pc just run origin on front page you will see a link to getting the preload for the beta going, its like a 7 gig download and you will be able to play tomorrow
for ps4/xbone it should go up in the store sometime tomorrow as a free beta
there are 12 MP maps at launch and 2 more free maps added in dec that are tied into the new movie. people who preorder get to play the 2 new maps a week or two early, but everyone gets it for free.

Could be worse. Could do the "In thing" these days and pay for the "promise of a game in X years".

I watched the streams and it seemed people did lose on rebels a lot of the time. Mostly because they didn't know as a team you focus fire the walkers when your Y-wings lower their shields. Also snow speeders spawn in near the end and you can tow cable with them and it insta kills a walker while its shields are down if you can do it.
Mostly Empire seems easier on that because it's basically cruise controlling your objectives and you just have to kill people over and over whereas the Rebels have to actually DO things and that's where most pugs fall apart.

Pretty much what I posted earlier. I was mainly poking fun at the "100% auto-lose".

Kinda sad that games released nearly 20 years ago did the tow cable better. (19 years for Shadows of the Empire, 17 for Rogue Squadron.)
