It's Titan mode, then.
(the wording there makes me think it's going to be PT only, at least for the first release. wonder if they'll end up recycling the mon cal/star destroyer interiors from the campaign for OT/ST maps.)
I don't mind this since for now, the Clone Wars is the only era where this type of scenerio makes sense.
should've just condensed it to "It's Titan, then"
There is matchmaking data in the files that refers to a gamemode called 'Titan'.
I think the first planet to get it will be Geonosis.
Remember in the very first Roadmap the gamemode was meant to come out before Geonosis. And Geonosis is their biggest map.
That also lines up with them using the prequel ships.
Of we get Capital Ships like we did in the original Battlefront 2 or even in the old DICE game 2142 and not some scripted bullshit, this game will be redeemed.

I wonder how they will deal with ground to air traversal. Would be cool have to LAATs set to board and transport you to the top
I wouldn't expect it to be exactly the same as boarding ships in OG BFII, given how differently spawning in and vehicles are handled in this game.
(it probably will end up being some scripted bullshit tbh, but that said predicting the future has never been my strong suit)
Geonosis has AT-TE's you can enter manually. Which means they are open to adding vehicles like that.

Been thinking of getting SWBF2, especially with all this stuff coming out for it. Is it worth the money?
it was ten bucks awhile ago, not sure if it still is. I'd say wait until the Conquest comes out because I can't stand galactic assault anymore.
I'm playing the 10h trial for BF2 right now and I really dislike how you have to repick your class every time you die. The squad spawn mechanic also feels weird, sometimes you die and can just respawn next to your mate where you died in like 3 seconds if he disengages the enemy for a moment. Makes death feel kinda meaningless at times.
Any tips on how to survive as a hero? Every time I finally become Vader or Luke, I manage to kill like one dude before getting focussed and killed by the entire enemy team in like 2 seconds.
Tip for heroes: don't play as a hero with a glowstick
But I like the glowsticks
You can turn off your lightsaber now and try and make yourself less then a target.
as far as I was able to tell it still ignites on its own when approaching literally anyone
Press 2
I'd wait until you see it on sale sometime this month, because it will be for sure if it's not already. But absolutely! Get some credits and characters progressed before conquest drops.
So we're finally getting full on Battlefront II with modern graphics? About damn time. I might actually buy the game now.
We might potentially get a mix of BF2 and BF3.
Lol don't get your hopes up
As much as how immensely hyped I am for this I wish they came out with this sooner. Don't get me wrong, it takes time and countless months to even get this sort of thing working without being broken and putting in some amazing details on the ship models, but OG BFII came out at least a year shortly after BF1 with a ton of new game modes, maps, and playable heroes.
