Over two years ago I started working on Star Wars Battlefront II. Been some great memories since then, here's a few of my own highlights.
We published the first Community Transmission in April 2018. Let's just say it's interesting going back and reading the comments on it. I wanted CTs to become the bridge between the team and you (players) and I like to think that we achieved that.
To date we've published over 70+ CTs and Calendars. Some were small, some were big, others made the community react in universal happiness. The "CT When" meme was born...
EA Play 2018 was a great moment. Watching Dennis on stage, letting the world know that we would be heading back to the Clone Wars. Fun fact, I left phone notifications turned on during this.

Narrator: his phone didn't like that.

For me, this was 'the' moment that it felt like we had something special on our hands. Still one of my favourite game trailers of the last couple of years.
The updating / release of our Clone Trooper legions. This was 100% based on feedback we had from the earlier releases, and as a result we went back and redid everything we could. Never say developers don't listen, they do. @phatseejay (and others) did a phenomenal job on these.
Star Wars Celebration was a really special moment. Walking with the team through the show and getting stopped every 5 meters by our community is an experience I will never forget.

We also learned that Canadians can't behave themselves (4/10 dab rating).
Announcing Droidekas, alongside Felucia. One of the most popular announcements of 2019 for us.

The team did great work getting Droidekas into the game and Felucia is absolutely stunning.
Co-Op was a huge moment for us and despite us knowing it was a fun mode to play, I don't think anyone could have expected it to be the success it was. To think it launched alongside the Clone Commando as well!
The Rise of Skywalker update, coupled with the trailer. Fun fact, there was an alternate cut of the trailer that had slightly different music. Everyone I know who watched it cried, myself included.

Much like the Geonosis trailer, this one was also a significant milestone.
There are so many things I haven't mentioned. The BX Commando and the ARC Troopers. The artist formerly known as Capital Supremacy, the new heroes, reinforcements and so much more.
The last two years have definitely given me a sense of pride and accomplishment. Thanks for helping make it as good as it was, one of the best communities I could have asked for.

What fun it's been.
Also that time I pinged 'everyone' on the Discord channel and told them how good Pineapple pizza was. I did get banned for it, but was worth it.
