A Community Transmission released in February 2019 detailing some changes to Clone Trooper customization
- "Punch it!"
- — The retired tagline of Community Transmissions, which appeared at the end of each announcement
A Community Transmission, or CT, was a blog post that was regularly released by the development team of DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II when new content was regularly added in monthly game updates. Community Transmissions detailed specific topics about the game, including deep dives into updates, future content, and other behind-the-scenes information. Community Transmissions were posted on the official Star Wars Battlefront II forums and announced via social media. Some months featured multiple Community Transmissions, while others only one. Community Transmissions were released on a monthly basis starting in April 2018.
On April 28th, 2020, the last Community Transmission was released, detailing the end of content updates to Battlefront II. With this announcement, the second phase of the game's live-service was revealed: continued support for the game's servers, but without new content or major updates.
