    • +7

      Hold my beer…

    • haven't heard the word fukc before. Can you define it for me?

  • +3

    Everyone seems to be having betas at the moment.
    Got a new game to play every weekend!

    • -3

      I really can't be bothered downloading 50gb for a few hours of gameplay .
      I only buy a AAA title probably once a year .

      • just download em overnight

        • +2

          Or NBN in 2 hours.

        • -5

          @superforever: ooooboy, that e-peen so big

        • @phor8:

          But I don't have a good video card to play :(

          I am still using my old GTX 460

        • @superforever: Just buy an Xbox. ;)

        • @Stix:

          I cannot use controller to play FPS ;p

        • @superforever:

          2? hahahhaha! I have NBN and it took me 9 hours to download it..

        • @superforever:

          Get a XIM4

        • @HybridGT: They might as well get a decent GPU instead of an Xbox + XIM.

        • @ChillBro:
          GTX 1060 3GB on special.

        • @Bankyy:

          I am using Myrepublic 100m plan

        • @superforever: If on a limited budget, perhaps look at AMD.

        • @ChillBro:

          From his current 2010 GPU, I highly doubt getting a low end GTX 1060 would do much when other components bottleneck everything. Xbox would be the cheaper option.

        • @HybridGT:

          I am using i7 2600 16GB Ram

          Actually the GTX 460 still playable

  • -8

    Any Bargains?

    • +4

      You can play a retail game for free

      • +8

        It's not the final complete game unfortunately. Then again, which EA game is :)

    • FREEEEEEEEE

  • +2

    IN the "related products" section, it shows an image of the original Battlefront 2! Still play it modded to this day, the mod community is incredibly active!

    • Lol yeah the product tag needs changing :)

      • +2

        Its been changed! Now I wish I took a screenshot…

  • Do we need to do anything to sign up or will it just be available to download on the day?

    • +2

      There will normally just be a download button in Origin.

  • Any deals on pre-orders more importantly…??

    • Unless I'm mistaken, you can pre-order on Origin, get the early beta access then cancel your pre-order.

  • +1

    PS Plus/Xbox Live subscription required?

    • Yes of course. You cannot play online games without it.

      • I've played one game on PS4 that had an open beta without the need for PS Plus. Can't remember which one.

      • +3

        WWII didn't need it

        BF1 didn't

        You'd think for an open beta they'd want to open it up to convince people to get the game. As it stands my PS Plus has expired so I won't be able to experience this beta, so I can't be convinced to order the game, which is the entire point of the open beta.

    • +1

      Maybe not on PS4, the Battlefield 1 beta didn't need it

    • +1

      not on PC!

    • +1

      No. I dont have PS plus and ive been able to play the beta MP.

  • After the number of hackers and bugs in the Battlefront 1, no way will I preorder this or even buy it. Ill play the open beta and enjoy it cause I fondly remember Battlefront 2 and I have Origin Access so might as well get my moneys worth. If I do buy, maybe after 3-4 months when things settle down and hackers are sorted with. EA even made reporting them in Battlefront and Battlefield so difficult cause they dont seem to want to deal with them.

    • +2

      And let's not forget the single-player campaign of Battlefront 1… like EA did

      ;)

  • So you need to pre-order to get the beta?

    • Nope, that only gets you early access

  • +1
    • Thanks form submitted see how long it will take.

      EDIT: received code that is quick.

      • Took me a matter of seconds, but it is getting a bit of exposure now in other countries

        • Im having trouble submitting form. Which browser did you use?

        • @Azif:

          Chrome

        • @Azif: Also having trouble now :(

      • Download completed and playing

    • UPDATE October 6, 2017

      The Star Wars Battlefront II beta is now open to everyone, no code required!

      Read on to find out how to find and download the beta client on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

  • Game looks great but just wished they upped the player count in some extra game modes a bit more. Still feels like a small game of cod even though it is meant to be large scale battles.. but to each their own.. graphics are amazing though no complaints there.

  • It's not available for purchase for me. Do we need to wait until 6th October US time?

  • How do you actually get the beta? I see a lot of info about it but no where to actually download it for xbone

    • Nor ps4 at the moment.

      • My bad, looks like it starts at 7pm AEDT

  • Looks like they're running a little behind time…

    • Aren't you in daylight savings now? Maybe that's the problem.

      • +1

        I'm in Perth, so no haha.

        But they do say "Open to All Oct 6 at 7:00 PM AEDT" which is 10 minutes ago now. Why they didn't let people pre load the game I have no idea.

  • +1

    What I mean is whoever is in control of this doesn't know the east coast slipped into daylight savings time. As far as they know it's 6.15 there.

    • They do though, as I said "Open to All Oct 6 at 7:00 PM AEDT".

      • +1

        But now is AEDST….
        Anyway , wish they'd hurry up. :)

        • No, it's not - https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aedt

          AEDT – Australian Eastern Daylight Time (Daylight Saving Time)

          Also known as: EDT – Eastern Daylight Time, EDST – Eastern Daylight Saving Time
          Time zone map of AEDT
          Currently observing AEDT.
          Areas with same time currently (UTC +11).

          Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) is 11 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This time zone is a Daylight Saving Time >time zone and is used in: Australia.

          This time zone is often called Australian Eastern Daylight Time.

        • @Porthos: haha ok professor , you win.

        • +1

          @furiousgeorge: Nice attempted insult there because you don't understand a simple acronym.

          Anyway it's finally on Origin so downloading now.

        • +1

          @furiousgeorge: not quite, because AEDST was moved forward one hour last weekend, so if it was confusion about the time, they are well past what would have been 7pm

  • +1

    still not on Origin for me? I assume under the demos and betas section?

    • +1

      Yep go there, then it should list and you need to hover over it and go 'add to library' or something like that, can't remember now as it's added to my account.

  • I don't see it yet either.

  • I just exited Origin and restarted it and it appeared.

  • Downloading on ps4, thanks op.

  • Only 2 vs AI missions available.

  • Doesn't work on xb1.. It won't let me accept the stupid user agreement… >:(

    • I had to power cycle the xbox to get it to work. Press and hold the xbox button on the console till it turns off. The press again to turn it on. Then I was able to accept the agreement

  • +1

    Beta has been extended :)

    You've got an extra 48hrs :)

    • Ive been loving this game- please let them extend it until November 17th
