Calm down guys they're only switching from both perspectives to FPS only (with 3rd person with vehicles probably). It's not like they've announced the premium or battlepacks yet. [editline]29th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=maxumym;46357641]Oh dear god no. Call me names, but I preferred the prequel maps to the original maps in battlefront. You couldn't play as that droid with a forcefield that rolls like a ball or the sweet-ass minigun clone commando in the original trilogy setting.[/QUOTE] Man Droidekas were the hypest shit.
But thirdperson was amazing.
I don't think I played the BF games in third person once after figuring out that first person was an option.
Just a reminder that you're an idiot for buying hype for anything EA related now days. Don't get hyped, and if it's good, be pleasantly surprised. It will never live up to your expectations, and deep down you know it's true.
Holy fucking shit just once I'd like to see a new modern game not be the exact same fucking shit as everything else. I have a feeling they're gonna ruin the game
Noice.
Is there actual footage of the game because people are screaming "THIS GAME WILL BE SHIT, BATTLEFIELD CLONE"

[QUOTE=RustledJimmys;46357979]umm didnt u hear its by ea which means its shit??[/QUOTE] I don't get why you would post those words ironically.
The first 2 were battlefield clones, I don't give a shit if it ends up being Battlefield: Lasers -- that's just par for the course for the series, and that sounds awesome anyway.

[QUOTE=zakedodead;46358042]Do you really want bf4+lasers though?[/QUOTE] I do. [editline]29th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=zakedodead;46358020]I don't get why you would post those words ironically.[/QUOTE] Are you serious.
my dreams of large scale battles with 300 plus dudes (npc and players alike) running around the map have been crushed
[QUOTE=zakedodead;46358042]Do you really want bf4+lasers though?[/QUOTE] Yup. And also rad star wars vehicles, don't forget those - [i]and they have lasers too[/i]
[QUOTE=JiggleItGood;46357393]let's just pray it's not battlefield with lasers.[/QUOTE] You're damn right on this one... BF laser time...
[QUOTE=zakedodead;46358042]Do you really want bf4+lasers though?[/QUOTE] I really do. BF4 is fun as fuck, and game being that but in a Star Wars theme would be fucking sick.
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;46357389]I have a bad feeling about this. First they axe the Clone Wars era (aka entire game is now Empire vs Rebels IIRC) and now it's just an FPS.[/QUOTE] Thank god they axed the clone wars era, clone wars can go fuck itself.
The first two games were based around the Battlefield games of the time, but adapted to be more Star Wars-y. I expect it'll be a pretty fucking similar situation here, you're all basing this off the fact that EA [I]tangentially[/I] mentioned that it'll be a first person title and now you're screaming that it'll be 100% identical to Battlefield. Do you think maybe you're still hyped, just in the opposite way?
cant wait 2 years to hear TotalBiscuit tear this game apart if its bad. but if its good, they will earn my 60 dollars. always been a huge fan of battlefront
[QUOTE=pvt.jenkins;46358099]my dreams of large scale battles with 300 plus dudes (npc and players alike) running around the map have been crushed[/QUOTE] why did you have even the faintest optimism for that
[QUOTE=BenJammin';46358194]Thank god they axed the clone wars era, clone wars can go fuck itself.[/QUOTE] I know some people don't like the Clone Wars era and I prefer the original trilogy setting, but that doesn't mean it's right that they remove it. Playing across multiple eras in battles from the entire Star Wars saga was what Battlefront was about. They've took out one of the main features of the game. This isn't going to be a proper battlefront game, it doesn't really matter if you prefer the Clone Wars or the original trilogy, the games were always about playing the battles shown in all the movies and that was one of the things they used to advertise them (at least had it on the covers). It was about having the iconic characters, weapons, locations, vehicles and other things from all the movies, not just a few of them. There being gameplay from both eras was part of what made Battlefront great, but DICE have just dropped one of the most important things about the game as if it didn't matter. I don't think anyone should be happy that they are removing two of the main features from the previous two games. They even said this isn't going to be Battlefront 3, it'll be their own version of Battlefront instead. That makes it seem like DICE doesn't care about the original games and just want to use the name. The game Free Radical was making looked really good and like a true battlefront game, it didn't seem like they were going to have remove anything to make it. Without being able to play in both eras and a focus on third person, it is not close to the previous games and not battlefront.
i would be absolutely fine with this game essentially being a star wars-themed battlefield for all its minor brokenness and imbalances and other such boring stuff i dont care about, i sunk a fuck tonne of hours into bf3. it was a very solid multiplayer shooter minus the netcode but, more importantly, it's also one of the most visceral and open-ended shooters i've ever played that, through the intrinsic nature of its maps and mechanics, has given me limitless moments of jaw-dropping eye and ear candy and what do i want from a star wars shooter? do i want a perfectly balanced multiplayer game? not really arsed about that tbh. do i want a remake of the same clunky game from 2005? no. do i want a really simple, fun, shooter that looks and sounds great and makes me feel part of the star wars world? yeh. and dice can deliver that easily [editline]29th October 2014[/editline] the only thing i'd like is clone wars maps and space battles
I never liked the first person view in the Battlefront games, it looked rather badly animated and awkward. I always resorted to third person but I do not mind it being first person. At least this time we probably get good looking first person gun models and skins.
[QUOTE=The Baconator;46357381]if you look at the screenshots it doesn't even resemble the same genre as the previous two, and it looks like a modern military shooter.[/QUOTE] What sceenshots are you refering to? I don't think they've shown much gameplay.
I hope you can change every laser shot sound to a vocally recorded one
[QUOTE=pvt.jenkins;46358099]my dreams of large scale battles with 300 plus dudes (npc and players alike) running around the map have been crushed[/QUOTE] What? It's not like the other games had that.
This sucks dick, I loved third person and like being given the choice between them.
Hm back when they announced the game in 2013 they said there would be a "Third-Person Componant" They might be generalizing it by calling it a FPS a in this article. DICE has also said they don't want to make a Battlefield Clone

They also said they're only doing the galactic civil war so they can focus their resources to make one great looking era instead of 2 good looking ones.
