*** The Official Star Wars Battlefront Thread ***

BF:H sailed too close to what BF4 did.

It could have pushed the Cops and Robbers theme so much more with their ideas. Theres no real reason to play hardline multiplayer any differently to the way you play BF4, apart from a few different game modes. But even then, those game modes feel like existing ideas like Rush, but just rehashed. Hotwire is only conquest with movable flags, Blood Money is just CTF with money etc..

That combined with the lack of content, left you feeling short changed at paying full price for a game that feels very similar to BF4, but isn't. We always talk about COD and about how you can't change it too much or you'll annoy the core fans. I think BF:h went the other way and didn't change enough to make users feel like they were getting a new game. Plus the whole cops and robbers theme isn't really what battlefield is about. Its a warfare game with tanks jets and helicopters. Which Hardline just isn't. Whats why the PC playerbase of BF4 is twice as big as BF:H, but the reverse for consoles. Because most of the console player base have moved over from COD, for which BF:H is a better replacement than BF4.

It didn't do enough to attract new players, whilst at the same time splitting the fanbase into those that didn't like it because it wasn't a core battlefield game, and those that didn't mind the new "theme" but didn't think they got enough for their money.

None of the above will mean that a Star Wars Battlefront game on Frostbite 3 could be anything less than amazing.

I'm a COD fan but I absolutely hate BF:H MP. I play BF because it's different to COD. The big maps, more players, vehicles etc. The small maps just don't work on BF:H. Whenever I play it I'm just constantly dying. Hopefully this game will have much bigger maps. And hopefully no bloody snipers!
 
“Battlefront” will focus on frenzied shoot-outs between up to 40 players portraying Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire forces. In a demonstration of the game’s multiplayer mode, a team of jetpack-equipped rebels were shown carving their way through the woodsy Endor while Stormtroopers charged at them on foot, on speeders and within walkers, including a hulking AT-AT war machine.

I just made a mess.

Other locales teased in game footage included the snowy Hoth, sandy Tatooine and gooey Sullust, a lava-spewing planet referenced in 1983's "Return of the Jedi," as well as many "Star Wars" games and novels, but rarely ever seen. "Battlefront" won't solely be centered on expendable ground troops. The game will reward sharpshooters with the ability to embody such iconic characters as bounty hunter Boba Fett and Sith baddie Darth Vader on the battlefield.

"You can storm in as the Dark Lord himself," said "Battlefront" design director Niklas Fegraeus. "You can wield a lightsaber. You can Force choke the rebel scum, which is fun. Basically, you are the boss of the battle. This means that you, as Vader, can lead your team to victory — if you play well."

The action will also take to the skies with players engaging in dogfights with TIE Fighters, X-wings and the Millennium Falcon, though the developers were coy about how battles would alternate between ground and air combat.

"We wanted it to feel authentic to this universe," said "Battlefront" executive producer Patrick Bach. "You can get into these vehicles, from speeder bikes to X-wings, TIE fighters, AT-STs, AT-ATs. There's a wide range of vehicles that we wanted to realize. The difficulty with a game is that they need to be balanced with the troops on the ground."

If it's November / December release, you'd imagine there will be gameplay. Especially since, the press has been playing alpha demo's.
 
Leaked info:

"Battlefront" will also include a free downloadable level available two weeks before "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" opens in theaters Dec. 18. It's set on Jakku, the battle-scarred desert planet glimpsed in "Force Awakens" teasers. The expansion, dubbed "Battle of Jakku," will explore the moment following "Return of the Jedi" when the New Republic confronted Imperial holdouts on the previously unseen Outer Rim enclave.

"You never get to see it in the new movie, so it was this brilliant opportunity to recreate the Battle of Jakku, which you only see the remnants of in the movie," said Bach. "In the game, you actually get to play the Battle of Jakku. It's the same place from the new movie but 30 years earlier."
 
'EA DICE one of the greatest developers on the planet.'

lol.

Wonder if the crowd will be allowed to ask questions? I know what i'd ask:

"Is the game going to be as big a **** up on launch as BF4?"
