Welcome to the COO Report!


COO RETURNS

Well, my wanderings are now done. I am back aboard the Aggresor with no more planned holidays or little breaks. So, I should be back to full processing capacity, and making a nuisance of myself around the admiralty boards once again. Equally, means I've more time for some Star Wars multiplayer, should anyone fancy XvT or BF3!


BATTLEFRONT NEWS



Three bits of battlefront news for you.

The first are some details about the upcoming DLC - Death Star. The most intersting stuff for us is that there are space combats added - something that was sorely missing in the initial release. The highlight of this sounds to be 'multi-stage matches' over the Death Star. The first part has you battling high over the Death Star surface, before switching to a 'trench run' mode. It will be interesting to see how this is reported, and how we can record it for the TC. As previously mentioned, the TIE Advanced MK 1 and Skywalker's Red 5 X-Wing are added as new hero ships.

More information can be found here.

The above ariticle also mentions a second piece of news - the final Battlefront expansion will be called Rogue One: Scarif. We can hope that given Rogue One's name implies the film features the elite Rogue Squadron, perhaps their creation, there may be further Fighter Squadron additions to come.

Finally, For those of you with a PS4 and VR headset, there is a Fighter Squadron VR mission being released free for PS4. The Star Wars: Battlefront Rogue One: X-Wing VR Mission features a the chance to do some free flying to get used to it, then allows you to move on into the mission once you have got comfortable. More details here.


STAR CONFLICT NEWS

Star Conflict has introduced a new 'versus' mode, where players can challenge friends to matches! I know some of you have already been checking this out. We will be looking to utilise this new feature for combat events in the very near future! Stay tuned!

COO's Star Wars Challenge; Episode II - whole TC
The COO's Star Wars Challenge is a competition designed to promote and reward the playing of MP matches based on a Star Wars platform.

Simply submit your MP Screenshot report as normal, and the COO and COOA will track the number of matches played on any Star Wars MP platform, such as XvT, XWA, BF3, and all other approved MP platforms.

Both PvP and PvE matches count towards a pilot's total.

The player with the highest overall Star Wars based MP victories will win each month, and for the year over all.

Normal Screenshot submission requirements apply.

Screenshots that are submitted that were not taken in a given month, or very close to the start of it, will not count towards that month's total, but will count for the yearly total.
