Just watched the live stream. It looks amazing. Chewie looks great, the same with R2. No playable Y-Wings, B-Wings nor Tie Bombers but availble as AI wingmen via pick ups, and there will be only three game modes released; Battle station, Fighter Squadron and Blast
The good news is... no more helmetless stormtroopers!! and we get separate traits for our two loadouts
I can't wait.

Wait. Does that mean we'll never have helmetless troopers ever again?! Even on the rest of the maps and gamemodes?!
Also, people saw what looked like TIE Defenders in the trailer. Any word about them? Finally, how are the new weapons?

Showcases the new hero's, and customisation.
No more helmet-less storm troopers, but have the option to change pauldron colours for regular troopers and face for the Deathstar troopers and imperial officers
Rebels your able to mix and match from what it seems.

TIE defenders/bombers are AI controlled wingmen that are available as power pick ups. This applies to every fighter squadron map and Battle Station.
The same goes with Y-wings and B-wings for the rebels; hopefully DICE will allow us to play them in the future.
On a separate note, people on reddit are celebrating the fact that Chewie looks a lot better than what the trailer showed, however it is just the cut scene that shows a better rendered chewbacca. The actual gameplay has the odd looking one

Alright, so, I played the new DLC. Quite simply, it's fantastic. Starfighters are actually fun to play with for once, and I didn't rage* at all. Right now, I'm 15 kills away from unlocking the TL-50. Until then, it's LMG spam from me. The addition of specific traits for loadouts is a godsend... even though I only have Scout unlocked because I'm poor. 
Probably the only negative aspect of the DLC is many Imperial players are purposely letting the Rebels win so the other phases can be played. Currently, there isn't much inventive for the Imperials to win the first round. One user on r/StarWarsBattlefront had an idea where the Empire could assault a Rebel ship if they prevent the Star Destroyer from exploding. I can't remember the entire post and it's most likely buried now, but it was interesting.
* Unless you count swears muttered under my breath because my teammates wouldn't push into rooms to capture R2-D2, ultimately leading to our defeat. Several times.

When does the DLC go live for non-season pass players? I went out last night and got a $20 PSStore card to play it, only to find I can't...yet. Did mess around with the weapons in singleplayer, though. The TL-50 is a must for me; the pistol, not so much. The new heros look incredible; Bosskk's voice sound insane, but oddly familiar in a way.
The generator room in the Death Star and the Medical Droid are giving me so much nostalgia at the moment. I feel like 8 year old me playing Battlefront II all over again.

That new heavy repeater is pretty brutal
That secondary fire doe... I think it's a little OP ATM. I tried it but ended up switching back to my SE-14C/EE-3 after a few matches. The range and poser is just not there for me..

Albert Ross, Swany Games, Velociraptor & Neb-J have thing going on recently to see who's gets the biggest killstreak. Swany Games was the first one to reach 200 after Albert Ross' 186, then AR reached 204 and now Swanny is back it again lol.
I recently won like 6 consecutive hero hunt matches using Bossk all the time for the imperials. He is crazy good
Dennis from DICE recently confirmed more infantry modes being added to the DS DLC. Apparently after so much bitching from the gaming community regarding the lack of space battles, now that they're in people are now complaining "there's too much flying".
I for one do enjoy the second phase of Battlestation and hope for more modes on this map. (I believe they are releasing a Heroes Blast game mode with all 12 of them together)

It'll probably work like the way dice did with the dice specific dogtags in BF4. A select few will have it unlocked (probably employees, youtubers ect) and when they die a pick up like token will spawn. Players can then run over it to permanently unlock and use it like any other primary blaster (ee-3 e-11 ect)

Finally managed to hit rank 75 today and unlocked the Rebel Pilot skin...for 25,000 credits! 
Aside from the price, I love the look of it. I don't even care if I stick out like a zore thumb, this will most likely become my main Rebel skin!
I wish DICE would have included a version with the helmet along with the one in game. Feels odd running around without it on.

I've come to the conclusion that bossk is seriously overpowered . Just went 107-0 on Endor. Thermal vision plus health re-gen and a gun that can 2 hit kill at any range with a head shot is a pretty deadly combo.

Unfortunately, instead of lightly tweaking his abilities, he'll be nerfed into the ground and become borderline unusable as DICE typically does when balancing features in their games.
