Don't you dare fail me DICE. EA made you rape Battlefield and there's nothing that can be done about that now, but Battlefront holds an equally special place in my heart and you have a chance to make it shine or fall apart.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;47044225]are they just calling it battlefront now? because if so thats really stupid[/QUOTE]
Their reasoning behind it was that this new one is a complete reboot of the franchise.
I just want bots.
[quote]DICE is also employing photogrammetry to recreate the battles.[/quote]
Oh boy. I'm excited to see this
[QUOTE=Raidyr;47044263]I just want bots.[/QUOTE]
COMPETENT bots too
[QUOTE=Limed00d;47044301]COMPETENT bots too[/QUOTE]
can you imagine battlefront but with all the bots using cover and shit
can you imagine how glorious just that change would make it
Please EA don't fuck this up. Battlefront and Battlefront 2 are some of the games I can always look back on and know the whole series has been good.
Are they gonna be at GDC?
Just saying this is a weird time for Battlefront news if they aren't.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;47044953]if not, it would be amazing to have the bots be grunts/cannon fodder type units and the players all be somewhat higher ranking units[/QUOTE]
I really hope we still get to play as Dark troopers,bothan spys and wookies.
If they keep even the bare mechanics of how the combat worked in the first two Battlefront games, then I really don't see much chance of them fucking it up besides with meta shit.

"DLC on sale now: Add 16 bots to your favorite maps for only $19.99!"
Probably the shit we expect to see, knowing EA's track record. And you'll see a DLC pack for the Clone Wars since Battlefront is being released with just the Galactic Civil War era.

i hate this reasoning
literally the only thing it accomplishes is making it harder to distinguish the first game from this new one

They probably also don't want people getting confused when their friend says "Hey wanna play BF3?" and committing suicide because they don't know if they mean Battlefront or Battlefield.

Merge the series together, create a game just called "Battle". Problem solved.
Endor I could see being some sort of Demolition game mode, you gotta blow up the Shield Generator, Hoth, would basically be the same but the Imperials need to blow up the Shield Generator.
But Hoth would be big open battles and icy plains, and then Endor being close quarters in a dense forest. Hopefully not too dense, I want AT-STs to usable.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;47047108]Endor I could see being some sort of Demolition game mode, you gotta blow up the Shield Generator, Hoth, would basically be the same but the Imperials need to blow up the Shield Generator.[/QUOTE]as an extra hook for the latter, only walkers would have the firepower to take the generator down. it would essentially be a game of "Don't Let the Walkers Pass"/"Suppor the Walker Advance". if an AT-ST slips past the rebel defences it might be able do some damage to the generator, and if an AT-AT gets through it's game over unless the rebel team coordinates to kill it

Hopefully they'll bring back third party bots. Like on the Tattooine map, there was the Tusken Raiders that would wander around & attack both armies.
Star Wars Battlefront has such a simple formula that I couldn't possibly see a developer like DICE fucking it up, but I know we can already assume that there will be MT bullshit. The only way I can really see them fucking this up is by removing third person.

Last I heard that's already happened unfortunately.

I really doubt it was EA's idea to use that awful web browser as the server list.
[QUOTE=Xron;47049964]Last I heard that's already happened unfortunately.[/QUOTE]
That hasn't been confirmed. BF was listed as an upcoming First Person game, but when it was first announced they said there would be a third person component.
Splitscreen please.
[QUOTE=Durrsly;47050705]Splitscreen please.[/QUOTE]
Do the new Battlefield games support it? If not, I doubt Battlefront will

star wars battle
real battle
future battle
past battle
as for first/thirdperson I won't mind either way. The only reason I didn't use first person in battlefront 2 was that its implementation was a tragedy.
All I ever used in battlefront was first person.
I almost exclusively played in 3rd person.

Please don't fuck this up EA! I'll never forgive you if you do!
I said it before, I'll say it again:
If DICE (along with EA) fucks up Battlefront, no one will ever take them seriously ever again.

3rd person in a Player v Player shooter has to be done right, otherwise it becomes a corner camp fest. The removal of 3rd person is not without it's reasons and i likely would not miss it despite that being how i played Battlefront 1 & 2.

Here, have a tasty look at what they've got running already.
