SPOILER WARNING!!!!
So about the story mode. It´s pure garbage especially if you are an empire / Dark Side fan (minus the Luke/ Kylo missions those were the only good point), and now it´s considered canon? Big mistake. The whole plot portrays the Empire and especially the Emperor as retards with the whole operation Cinder thing. At first i thought it was an operation to lay waste to the rebels and rebel worlds with the full might of the Empire but nope, mode purging Empire loyal worlds. Like srsly? Purging the loyal will spread fear to rebels and everyone? it´s like no, no, it wont actually courage other non and loyal planets to revolt, no they will fear the lunatics that the empire become. What a joke. I almost had to stop the story at mission 4 because of the reasons above.
I actually thought we are going to get an insight from the Empires side into the rise of the First Order but nope, Rebels, Rebels, Rebels and even more Rebels. After checking out this story I'm actually relieved that Visceral`s game got canceled who knows what they might have done with it.

For me i feel the campaign was a bait and switch from the trailers and everything i have seen on YT and twiiter and other places I thought Iden was going to actually carry out doing the Operation Cinder and become a FO Officer in the end of the campaign. I have always wanted a Imperial view point story told from star wars and i almost get the feeling Disney wont let the bad guys have their day in the Light. I mean come on Empire strikes back is the best Star wars movie in the whole series of movies. I prolly should have read the book that featured Iden and her crew maybe i wouldnt have been blind sided by here joining the rebels and living a Happy life at the end like a Fairy tale. I am so freaking dissapointed in the story. Sad thing is that they gameplay and even the story telling was good just wasnt the story i wanted. I feel a lot people are going to feel this way as well. Im not mad just ugh disgusted at it all.
The contingency plan with project Cinder was more complex. In the game we just got a dumbed down version just to make the bad guys look even dumber.
You are right but still the whole contingency plan thing is just confusing full with contradictions.
They actually should have taken the time to retcon some of the things.
Why is there a need for the satellites in Op. Cinder? when they have a Death Star, as if they knew that the Death Star is going to be destroyed.
The whole contingency plan was created way after Return of the Jedi and is full of not understandable plot holes.
The real issue is JJ never intended to flush anything out. He wanted others to assign back stories and history. JJ is not original and has to copy things he loved from his childhood. He tanked Star Trek and now he’s doing it to Star Wars. Episode 9 is going to be a rehash of Jedi, maybe Khan will be in it too. Star Wars The Revenge of Khan. Discount Endor and Ewoks! Yippie!!
The original BF2 (on xbox) had a great Imperial side for the single player campaign. It ran fromt he end of the clone wars right up to the start of the rebellion. Throughout the story and narration from a trooper you saw the Galactic Republic turn into the Galactic Empire - it was a great story.
Shame this was not the case for this new BF2 - very disappointing.
