well EA don goofed it up again.

theres a digital deluxe version
only 4 planets with 2 maps on each of them
no clone wars
40 player battles (u wot m8?)
no classes, just load outs now.
no galactic conquest
no single player
no space battles
already confirmed DLC (****ing seriously EA? release a full damn AAA game for once)
apparently vehicles are now killstreaks
no battlefield squad system

it was a very very long, crazy, fun hype train ride folks but I'm getting off at this stop. This game is going to be bad and nothing like star wars battlefront. Im now very skeptical of the game, only way now for this game to be good is if it's; "holy **** this is legit the absolute best first person shooter multiplayer experience ever to land and will revolutionize how we do FPS game"  

Yeah DICE made their beds the moment they signed on with EA.

I seriously don't get why developers sell their souls to the devil by letting companies like EA and Activision market their game.

All they end up doing is butchering the game to point where it's not even fun anymore and selling off the rest. (Just like what happened to Destiny, I cri ereytime ;.;)  

Not true. Dice has made excellent titles under EA that are top market and top notch gameplay. Bad company2, bad company 2 vietnam aka the best ****ing dlc ever created for a game, battlefield 4 (when the netcode was improved drastically), and mirrors edge. All of this was done because EA was willing to put money into these devs and fund there games. Thats why companies sign with corporations, to grow.  

Loadouts are basically the same as classes, devs confirmed that there would be customization. Not all vehicles are killstreaks only airstrikes and the at-at. Consider them the ac130s of battlefront just not as strong because they dont have birdseye view of the map.
The first dlc includes new maps and is free, 40 players is fine for battlefront since their maps cater to that. I only played battlefront on console so idk what it was like on pc, but on ps2 is was 20-28 player limit max I think, and it never felt that way because of the maps. There was always action and it was still nice having some quite areas where the combat wasn't as intense so that you could flank

There is no single player because it has already been done in the original battlefront and ea are crap at singleplayers anyway.
Also they still have the original battlefront mode where it was singleplayer with bots aswell as online just not the mode where you choose a faction and stick with it until all the planets are taken over. I'm not fussed about that since I never really played it

And if they did singleplayer it would be expected to live up to the movie quality, with top notch animation, voice acting, sounds etc since it's starwars. Think of all the money they have saved that they can put back into multiplayer from not doing singleplayer. Besides you only need to wait a month for starwars 7

Battlefield squad system sucked since it always led everyone spawning on eachother at the same time when you are trying to kill someone, and it always led to stalemates in small maps like bf4 lockers and metro.
Instead they are using MoH warfighters buddy system where you get 2 man squads and you can share unlocks/perks with your friend. (Which is why there will be unlocks like new guns similar to bf4/hardlines unlock system.) you can also tell this since in the trailer some rebels have stormtrooper blasters instead of their rebel assault rifle which means that is probably an unlock the rebels can get.
Spot system is also removed, thank god. No more orange doritos visable accross the map preventing anybody from doing anything stealthy or any flanks since you could aim roughly in the direction of someone from any distance on the map, spam the button right above shoot and spot them for the whole team to see on your map.

You're passing judgement and calling a game bad when they haven't even released anything besides a cinematic trailer. Gaming has changed over the decade since SWBF2 came out, don't get caught up in nostalgia.

I agree, they shouldn't waste time and resources on a campaign everyone will beat once and never play again. I'm definitely not QQ'ing over that.
I think Bioshock Infinite was the last FPS I played the campaign all the way through, and that's a single player game anyway lol. Unless there's some unlock or reward for playing campaign levels repeatedly, most people would rather spend their time progressing in multiplayer.

Jesus Christ. Always the first to complain.

About every game that ever existed.

Before they even release. So self-righteous.

Theres already so much missing from 2 thats shaved off and missing. Compare the two games on PC.

SWBF2 SWBF3
maps 33 + 4 DLC , 8
players 64 on all modes , 40 max less in some modes
classes 51 infantry classes, load outs + 2 hero's
Bots yes, one game mode has them
DLC 5$- 4 maps + 2heros, 5 planned DLCs, 1 free
Vehicle 37 + 15 turrets, none as of now

Like come on this game already sounds nothing like a star wars battlefront game. This sounds like a generic modern day FPS shooter that is another cash grab. If this is going to be a good game, holy **** its going to have to be a revolutionizing game and change the FPS game permanently. Inb4 the game launches and it sucks like destiny and I'm sitting over here like I told ya so.

Where are you getting your information from? Have you even played swbf2? It did not have 33 maps, it had 18 land maps and 6 space maps, and since there is no space we will say 18. The first dlc is free and comes out pretty much within the first month of release, around when starwars 7 comes out since the map is based off of the force awaken movie so add another 2-4 maps.
Bf2 did not have 64 players, I don't think it even had 50 unless you used mods, and that was only on pc. Most people played battlefront on console where the player cap was something like 24 on ps2 and 30 on xbox 360.
51 infantry classes, you mean skins? Because almost every class on each side was the same with the exception of a few like the droidicas and jetpack clones.
Basically all the guns functioned the same just with varying clips, so more or less you had 8-10 in total unique classes if that whereas the new battlefront will have the bf4 unlock system with multiple guns for each classes.

Battlefront is a 2015 game, unlike bf2 when most people played offline and bots are required, nobody will really even use them unless they want nostalgia. People will play online. Black ops 2 had a bot mode and I bet if you have ever played that game your online time v bot combat training time would be like 10-1.
Vehicles, like I already said only the AT-AT and bomber planes are on rail, non controlled vehicles. AT-ST's, speedbikes, x-wings, the imperial ships, i'd assume the animals on hoth and probably many other vehicles are useable.
Unless you can think of a way to balance a massive at-at, on online that could one shot almost anything in bf1 and 2 then it is understandable why they took away movement controls and just gave gunner options like the ac130.

Honestly who cares anyway about the at-at, they were boring to use because they took too long to move, they were only mildly fun to take down on hoth in the planes (which are also in the game) and that you will still be able to do

Starwars battlefront is not just a 'money grab' it isn't like halo where they have a large gaming fan base, starwars has probably one of the biggest fanbases since it's been around for all 3 of our generations. Adults, late teens- adolescents and kids all know and love starwars and most of them, even if they are not typically gamers are hyped for this. Ea cannot afford to screw this game up because it will more or less ruin their company. Who would bother continuing to play their franchise if they were the people who screwed up starwars. Think about all the crap ea got for bf4's launch, people quit the game and ridiculed it for it's ****ty launch, and still do, a year after release and after most of it has been patched "broken field 4, finally just out of beta". And that was just the launch of a AAA title, let alone starwars which is a AAA title game and a blockbuster, multimillion if not billion dollar franchise. It may not be the same as bf1-2 but they will try to make it a good game and not just a money grab for their own sake  

I agree with Rexx on this one. I don't know how soon, but they will eventually find a way to pull as much juice as possible out of it. If they can pull of GTA V and The Last of Us on PS3 then they will produce similar results on current gen consoles.

As for the current argument. BF2 and BF3 are not the same games so one shouldn't expect them to have the same things. Just wait and see how it turns out.  

For anyone under a rock, E3 presented actual gameplay footage captured on a ps4, and like I argued above, it looks the same as the earlier engine trailers we were shown.
The coop mode gameplay did look kind of weird, but the traditional multiplayer on hoth gameplay is very nostalgic. Jetpacks look fun and the bubble shield also looks pretty cool.

For people who think the graphics will be downgraded for launch, I disagree. Think about how good battlefield 4 looked, and that game had to be optimised for both old console and next gen which limited its full capability. As this is exclusively next gen they will be able to push the boundaries even further so I am very confident what we are seeing now is what we will get  

Yeah remember Watch Dogs? It's amazing people fall for this every year...

Wtf, what are those card thingies in the corner?

Just what a Star Wars game needs, a holographic Admiral Akbar in one corner and ****ing trading cards or whatever in the other.
