I've been reading this thread, but sadly I do not have anything additional to add right now. The moment I do, you will be the first to hear about it.

The BB Update Community Transmission

INCOMING TRANSMISSION
We’re back with more news and information on the next update for Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II.

Back in December, we mentioned that both BB-8 and BB-9E would be coming to the game, and you also got a sneak-peek at them in the trailer we released.

Known for his courage, BB-8 will play his part as an offensive hero. This will help balance out the light side, which currently has a support-oriented roster.

With an Astromech joining the light side, it seems only fitting that the dark side should also get one. That’s where BB-9E comes into play.

While BB-8’s bravery helps him charge into...

Ah yes. The sad Bossk post that unfortunately got removed. We shall hold him in our thoughts and prayers, RIP.

Edit: We shall also hold the actual actor for Bossk in ESB who just passed in our thoughts and prayers as well :(

Sad Bossk is one of my favourite ones so far.

We've seen some great heatmaps of the crying emote being used during Ewok Hunt.

Not really, but rebellions are built on hope.

Weren’t they the ones taking shots at EA back when the whole loot crate fiasco was still ongoing? Ironic.

Edit: link

At least we have phones I guess.

Cool I guess but I typically prefer some sort of commentary when I watch gameplay streams and unfortunately Ben isn't speaking.

It was a spur of the moment thing, so no real setup at home. Might see about doing it again.

Performance and memory is always a problem. Not just relevant to consoles either. Not everyone on PC has an RTX 2080, i9 CPU setup.

We've talked about pretty much everything and anything.

We have talked about it yes.

Nope, unlocked from the start, for everyone.

Crait could be done with a couple of downed walkers, no? Some Resistance transports maybe? Plus the cave system is pretty expansive!

You guys did it with the Separatist Hangar, I'm sure something could be worked out!

Yeah, that's something we could look at (and have). Still requires a lot of 3D art and level design work. Which goes back to the toss up between what else we are working on and making choices.

As a primarily Co-op player I think it would be worth it! The ship interiors are really cool play spaces and a lot of times I don't want to sit through long games of CS to play on them.

I think if you could find a way to make Crait work (downed AT-M6's for instance) it would be really fun. ST feels more barren in Co-op with one fewer map than the PT.

Ship interiors would be cool in Co-Op, agree on that. No plans as of right now though, but will let you know if things change.

Yes, but sometimes building from the ground up is a better option.

I know this is thinking a bit ahead, but what does the delay mean for the February update discussed in December?

No changes

I love that you're responding to this kind of criticism. It's something that the community has been talking about since launch, but we've gotten silence from you/DICE about this and I think as a result of that most have assumed that it's just "lAzY dEvS". Could you elaborate on why weapons present in SP haven't been added to MP? Prioritizing new content over balancing weapons?

Similar to the above comment, there's always a trade off for anything we need to add. UI, balance, integration, testing, animation, VFX, etc, it all adds up.

Every single thing we have added to the game has come at the expense of something else and there will quite likely have been a discussion over should we do "this, or that".

While we may have shown confirmed updates on them in the past, Community Calendars​ are about events going on throughout the month, not about any possible update.
