I would almost guarantee that space battles will be the focus of an upcoming DLC. There's no way they leave that on the wayside. And it'll probably be better for it, since they can focus on that one game mode.

This isn't really true, considering many games ARE designed with an MP focus, not a "bolt-on".
Free Radicals idea was ahead of its time. Its a shame the Battlefront franchise was given to people who just want to make it look pretty with basic gameplay.
Ground to Space battles @ 100+ players
You know, the pie-in-the-sky me was hoping they would announce huge, Planetside 2-esque worlds and battles. Ships flying kilometers across the map to different conflict zones, hundreds of players, multiple bases, etc.

I hope expand outside of the movies and aren't tied down by Disney. Although it seems they kinda are in some cases.
One of the best things about original star wars bf was that they did their own thing to a point, but was still very much star wars.

Space battles in battlefront 2 were garbage. I'm sure they could potentially be done well, but I won't exaxtly miss their inclusion. Battlefront has always been about the ground stuff for me.
It was a bit meh in past ones to be honest. I hope they do it right. If the game looks, sounds, and plays great without to start I will be very happy. Having more content added later is fine to me. Despite all the hate for bf4 the additional content they released was fantastic. Hope they continue this with battlefront.
Pretty much. I avoided them for the most part.

One thing I really hope they don't have is A.I bots online, hated them in the past battlefronts.

It's sad...
Used to be, "HOLY SHIT THERE IS A STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT GAME?! SWEEEET!" Now it's like, "OH SHIT THERE IS A STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT GAME? ... meh, but it doesnt have _____ and only has 2 of ____ and you can see aliasing on the back tree and it should have more ____ and why doesnt it have ____ also ____ is so overdone"
Don't bother. GAF thrives on negativity.
[*]No SP campaign? There is not a specific campaign, but there are SP/co-op missions that are different from the multiplayer maps. From what I understand, this is just like Battlefront 2
[/list]
About this, this doesn't sound at all like previous battlefront games, or like Gal Con. There was a campaign with modified multiplayer maps in the battlefront games, but it also had a story. This just sounds like quick and dirty co-op matches against bots.
yes bf4.

I am still super hyped..but is that DLC logo legit? I haven't even seen a real clip of the games but I have seen a logo for a DLC pack?
Jesus.
Jesus.
That comment. "Free Roaming DLC" Basically confirms it.

Hence why I said ahead of its time. It is entirely possible. Just not on the Frostbite Engine.
Thats what it should have been. Instead we got fucking Battlefield.
So they're not controllable. To be honest, I wasn't even expecting them in the game besides Hoth.

Typical pre-release GAF thread lol.
Some of you really need some perspective.

That is not the same. In Battlefront 2 you have the same exact maps from the multiplayer with a bit of voice over, the absolute barebones campaign you can think of. The single player they are working on for this game sound A TON better.
Not all that worried about it.

This isn't a biased observation at all
Edit: Wait, only 4 planets? Is that confirmed? Still haven't read the PCGamer article.

I love Pokken!
I'm almost certain it will be something like this
Ep VII DLC
Clone Wars DLC
Space DLC
And you complain that there is no campaign? lol

People are already calling this game barebones....
Wait for them to reveal everything before jumping to conclusions like that lol.

Okay, I'm gonna try to take a positive look at these things, even if some are very disappointing to me:
Still getting mixed messages on whether Battlefront 3's "campaign" is very different from the prior games:
Okay, I'm gonna try to take a positive look at these things, even if some are very disappointing to me:
- Only 40 player max per map? DICE says this was the appropriate number, based on their own testing/balancing. Map design is more important than player count. If maps are properly designed for 40 players, there's no reason the action wouldn't match the intensity of 64 player maps/games. That's always a big IF, though.
- Only 4 planets in the game? Hoth (snow), Tatooine (desert), Endor (forest), and Sullust (volcanic--see the promo art). This does not mean there are only 4 maps in the game.
- No SP campaign? There is not a specific campaign, but there are SP/co-op missions that are different from the multiplayer maps. From what I understand, this is just like Battlefront 2
- No controllable walkers? It sounds like Walker Assault (which is the only mode show in the demo so far) has AT-ATs that are on set paths, with the guns controlled by players. The AT-AT moves towards the rebel base on a fixed path, and the rebels have to take it out before it reaches the objective. It is still possible that AT-STs are fully player controllable.
- No ADS? Yeah, that's right. You'll be hip-firing with the finest from the Empire!
- No class system? It sounds like there are no classes, just a wide selection of customization.
- No squad system? Squads are being eschewed in favor of "Partners". Think the Buddy system from Medal of Honor: you have a buddy that you can always spawn on, and you share unlocks with her/him.
- No space battles? Yeah, that sucks. Plus side? If DICE didn't think they could do it, trust me--it's better that they left it out.
Still getting mixed messages on whether Battlefront 3's "campaign" is very different from the prior games:
The Battlefront 2 campaign missions were just poor rehashes of events that happened in the prequel trilogy.
i really enjoy this...lets compare games that do exist to those who don't
or just compare games that exist to my imagination

I just imagine like the typical Battlefield server, half the players just standing next to the AT-AT and mashing a button so they can be the first into it. All the while another quarter of my team is sniping from behind the AT-AT. Then there's 3 or 4 players who are actually playing, but getting slaughtered because it's essentially 20 vs. 4.
Just think of it as a level that is locked until closer to the release of the force awakens for advertising purposes (because thats what it is but its all good)
It's gonna be like the AC130/B-29 Bomber from BF4
probably

4 planets can be multiple maps easily
just looking at what's been offered previously,
jabbas palace/boat, mos eisley cantina and the dune sea
bespin city platforms and the cloud city
hoth snow area and inside of echo base, etc
will they be interesting is a bigger discussion, but the lowest amount of maps in a Battlefield base game has been like 5 (in vietnam, 9 in a main game) and I see them sticking to a number around the average (8-10)
the first game had 16 maps over 10 planets and no space so I dunno man

lol this cant be a serious comment.
Yes, but it was basically larger version of their standard type of map that facilitated tanks better, you could still get out of them and play the game like normal. Space battles would be closer to the dogfight mode but I want to be able to land in capital ships!
Depends on your definition of 'positive'
