Unless Han sticks to the script and turns him into a black, smouldering corpse beforehand. Star Wars Battlefront’s Season Pass is really starting to kick in, and DICE have finally revealed everything players can expect to receive with the Outer Rim Pack. Above everything else, Outer Rim will introduce two brand new Hero characters, one of which is the infamous green hitman from a New Hope.
Joining Greedo is the oddly popular Nien Nunb – the very odd looking co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon in the climatic final battle in Return of the Jedi. They’ll both join the villain and hero sides respectively, added to the (right now) limited roster.
The Outer Rim pack comes with a lot more than just two new characters though. Included is a brand new game mode called Extraction, which sounds a lot like Team Fortress 2’s Payload. Rebels will be tasked with protecting a convoy while it moves to extraction, while the Empire will attempt to stop them. This mode can be played across all existing maps and three new ones: the industrial factories of Sullust, Jabba’s throne room, and a sail barge garage on Tatooine.
Along with that comes some new weapons to take into battle, which will hopefully bolster the depressing shallow weapon pool. Out Rim will introduce the Relby V-10 rifle, DT-12 blaster pistol, Scatter Gun, Dioxis Grenade, and Adrenaline Stim Star Cards. It’s asking a lot of essentially two guns, a grenade and a perk, but here’s to hoping they shake things up meaningfully.
I’m still not entirely convinced of the worth in Battlefront’s Season pass, but if you’re full invested in DICE’s multiplayer-only shooter then it’s a no brainer. EA is already making a lot of money from it, even if The Force Awakens’ Finn desperately wants a single-player campaign too. Outer Rim is out later this month.

I’m busy re-reading my Boba Fett graphic novels and Greedo makes a few interesting appearances.

Greedo didn’t shoot first
Han didn’t shoot first
ONLY Han shot.

If Han hadn’t shot, would Greedo have shot? Yes. Therefore Han shot first. Being incapable of shooting second by way of being dead doesn’t invalidate that.
This is what I’m reduced too, arguing logic with Star Wars fans. 🙁

Woah there buddy. Using “logic” and “Star Wars fans” in the same sentence is dangerous territory…

Semantics.
Alien Emperor Trevor
March 3, 2016 at 15:13
Is the correct term for your argument. 😀
Playing a semantic game using the present & past tense of shoot:
Yes, only Han shot, because only Han had the chance to shoot… by virtue of shooting first. BOOM. Or PEW. Whichever you prefer. *run*

This is you correcting me for the sake of correcting me.
Playing the true Emperor’s role. You’re right, and I’m not wrong, but you said the last thing, so you’re more right ;P
I know your games Alien. 😀

Or, you know, right is right. And right is might. And might is uncertain.

Now I am uncertain :/
Alien Emperor Trevor
March 3, 2016 at 16:00
Does that mean the pen is uncertain about the sword?
Captain JJ the "saviour"
March 3, 2016 at 16:02
The pen likes the sword, like more than a friend, but tries to avoid complications seeing as how they are from different backgrounds and although their cultural differences mean nothing in love they know that life will not be easy as their families will not approve of their relationship, therefore in the best interest of both them and their families they must keep things professional only.

So this new BF villian is just going to run around unable to shoot and dying.
Well not that it will any different to my usual Battlefield game.

Haha. Yea, sounds like mine too.
