>inb4 it's just Battlefront 2 gameplay and EA briefly says

"sorry, but due to approaching deadlines we had to adjust it to just be a content mod for the massively successful Battlefront 2. However, if you owned the old version, you'll still need to purchase Battlefront 3 so that you can get access to the code that allows you to play online."

ap article that got posted a little early

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/b92adeca75b7425a84fe4bb02b115db0/star-wars-battlefront-unleashed-fan-convention

the desert planet that we've been seeing in the trailers is called Jakku, and the reason for those star destroyers is there was a big fucking battle that took place approx 30 years before ep 7

also hero units confirmed

the article writes "up to 40 players" but i've seen earlier reports of 64 player servers, so idk wait until the reveal for confirmation on that.

Basically took Battlefield, slapped a Star Wars skin on it, and called it different because "maps are now 40 players instead of 64".

The moment DICE laid their dirty hands on Battlefront was the moment it was gonna suck.

I have to congratulate EA for proving me right & making some people question if they should really be making Star Wars games for a decade.

I still can't believe that bEAttlefront, a game thats coming out soon has less features than Battlefront II, a game that was made 2 generations/a decade ago.

Let that sink in to your head

BEATTLEFRONT, A GAME THAT IS IN DEVELOPMENT WITH ALL THE LEAPS & BOUND OF TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY HAS LESS FEATURES & IS GETTING MORE CUTS THAN A GAME RELEASED 10 YEARS AGO

i'm not hyping up, but apparently some of the devs have been doing little amas on reddit, and what they've revealed is that there will be more than 8 maps (most likely still across those 4 planets which is stupid), AT-STs are confirmed fully playable, there will be more heroes (all going to be OT/ST based though), space battle dlc is not happening, and apparently the on-rails AT-AT is only because of a specific gamemode

dune sea, kashyyyk islands, bespin platforms, geonosis, hoth only has snowspeeders since it was a ground invasion. it would have been neat if they included vehicles on land maps in swbf2 besides whichever ones they did. my hope is that the new bfront has flyers on every map.

yes. yes I am. If you want to keep coming you could say The Millennium Falcon and the X-wing have terrible designs because the cockpit is on the side of YT-1300 freighter and you would have to re-calibrate the X-Wings blasters every time there is a change in distance from the target


 No.3306

It's actually not that hard if you install a range-finder in the nose of the craft and add a small system that automatically adjusts the angle of the blasters to the distance indicated by the range-finder.

So apparently no Ironsights in EAfront.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/no-ironsights-in-star-wars-battlefront-playable-at/1100-6427156/

People seem to be happy about this until you realise that pretty much nearly every Blaster has a scope on it. So no ironsights but most like aiming down sights.

i imagine we'll get something like what they did in the original games, where you just get a scoped zoom in first person and zoomed-in cam in 3rd, it will be interesting to see what they do for non-scoped weapons.

Doesn't matter to me I'm not getting it. Nor do I suspect many people here are unless they pirate it.

They also tend to never have to reload often since pretty much the magazine capacity for a standard stormtrooper blaster is around 500 shots.

after further analysis i have come up with some pros and cons

pros

- looks great

- plays like battlefront

- on-rails at-at doesn't seem that bad considering at-at can call in orbital strikes

- first person view isnt cod shenanigans, third person mode looks great as well

cons

- rotj luke on hoth

- blue squadron? the fuck is that, it's rogue squadron

- regenerating health

- game still seriously needs balancing, it looked like the dh-17 was fucking up that tie fighter good, and the guy survived a direct shot from the at-st and then proceeds to kill it with one rocket?

the weapons are practically the same, as in no aiming down the sights bullshit but instead a scoped/zoomed in view and a hip-fire view. even heroes look to be quite similar to swbf2's mechanics/animations. so yeah, it plays like battlefront should.

also forgot to add to the list of pros in >>4102

the flyers have cockpit views, thank fuck.

considering there was only a small amount of snowspeeders, yeah i find it hard to believe the rebellion had any other squads there.

Don't like TIEs and X-Wings on Hoth but with some polish the game might be ok.

Bit weird seeing all those alien rebels on Hoth when in the movie they were all human.

Why does everyone forget that they couldn't use the speeders on Hoth until they were adapted to the cold?

This is also seems to be why they couldn't use TIEs or X-Wings in the Battle of Hoth.

So Kyle Katarn and Dash Rendar are featured in shitty games for bringing down almost single handedly major Imperial/Baddies shenanigans.

It'd probably have them make more sense that way - if the ship goes into like an ocean or crawls along in the outer layers of a gas giant or something, the tower doesn't seem quite such a poor design. It'd get a better view topside while the lower half is submerged, regardless of any tech providing a way to see through pretty cosmic bs.

Still I'd be more concerned about how orbital bombardments got translated into a lot of small blasts instead of one huge blast. I love lots and lots of lasers but those are still better. It's just like "yeah, we only need one blast to knock you out". I wouldn't mind if the kill zone was larger and more explodey (at least with, an additional even specialer but less available orbital attack that way) at the very least.

Star Destroyers should be able to fly through the shield, I think it only stops weapons fire.

Due to the effects of the time I don't think how it works was communicated very well in ESB.

I believe that there was no actual problem with the X-wings on Hoth. It was only ever the snow speeders that had to be adapted for the cold weather.

And going into it more, TIEs and X-wings fight in the vacuum of space, which is likely far colder than Hoth

:^)

>>4198

Imp SD has been seen in atmosphere but supposedly the VicStar can land and offload

AT-AT was needed to blow up the shield generator, once it was down there's no reason that a TIE Fighter couldn't do a good job on assaulting the Ion Cannon
