EA Salutes Star Wars Battlefront Players With Free Emote
EA is incentivizing Star Wars Battlefront players to sign up for promotional emails with a free in-game emote. Similar to Destiny’s dances, emotes give players a way to communicate with friends and taunt enemies.
In order to get the salute emote, all you need do is sign up on the Battlefront landing page. You’ll unlock the salute for any platform you’ve connected to your EA account, so if you happen to be playing in multiple places, you don’t need to choose.
This week also saw the release of the free The Force Awakens-inspired Jakku maps for pre-order players. Everyone else will get in on December 8. You can check out our Test Chamber featuring then new maps and Turning Point mode.

Our Take
I rarely see people using the emotes in games, unfortunately. Some of them are pretty clever, but if you’re considering spending your earned credits on them, save this group of items for last. Focus on blasters and star cards first.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
