Leaked Battlefront info (40 players, heroes, free Ep7 DLC, FPS & TPS) [Full Screens]

Anybody complaining about no campaign should play the bf3 and bf4 campaigns

I am so thrilled that they arent wasting time or money on a campaign
 
does anyone have a link for the full rez version of this image?

I don't understand why people are complaining about the lack of space dogfighting. That would put battles MILES away from the ground troops, essentially turning it into two separate matches. You'd might as well be playing Tie Fighter with a different group of people altogether while the ground forces are playing Battlefront.

Agreed. I mean, it sounds kinda cool, but I would rather just a Star Wars: Space Sim game be released separately.
 
The description of their campaign sounds exactly like the battlefront 2 campaign to me. Short missions connected with a little scene or some narration. Only thing that might disappoint me is no space battle but I'll see if aerial battles are good enough

I think the issue is that we're hearing about a bunch of limitations (AI-controlled AT-ATs, lower than expected player count, no space battles, etc.) AND no campaign. Theoretically, if not much time was spent on an SP campaign, we'd want to see even more MP content.

Having said that, we still know next to nothing about the game's content, so I'm trying to hold out judgement.
 
Every once and a while we get a moment in gaming where we cross a bridge into an area that we could not even fathom. I wonder if this is one of those defining moments were we can't comprehend what we will see simply because its never been done. A moment were its not evolutionary change, but rather a leap into uncharted territory. Graphicaly speaking.
 
I think campaing is a good addition when the developer really see value in it. Battlefield campaing was a waste of resources, maybe if they could have used their time exclusively on MP it would not get released so broken.

Campaing ia good! But not always!
Warhawk was an amazing game, with no campaing. Titanfall I never played, but probably you can apply the same.
 
How much of the Star Wars Mythos or Lore do I need to know to enjoy this game more. GAF has convinced me on some games before and this looks to be one of them but i've never seen any of the movies. Maybe i'll check out a TL;DR youtube movie version of all 6 Star Wars films.
 
It's not a sequel though. There's a very specific reason there's no 3 in the title.

What reason is that? Feature-cutting under the guise of, "streamlined spiritual successor"? I honestly have no idea what you're getting at. Sounds like PR.

I'm sure the core experience will be fantastic. Just feels like a weird way to finally unveil the game.
 
Wtf is going on. I didn't come on for 30 minutes and shit went down. What happened since the GI leak?

It is sounding more like a game that is being made by mere mortals, instead of being the greatest thing ever. As such, it has caused a disturbance in the force.

That actually depends on the writers and narrative designers. If they are the same for both franchises, then maybe so. Either way, it makes it easier for me. I don't play competitive multiplayer, so this game is not attractive for me.

Just watch the original trilogy.

this thread is going places

and further more why would they give us more than 1 planet hoth and tatooine are so far away

you might as well just play star wars desert while the ice guys play star wars ice

(I'm saying your argument is ridiculous)

Space fights are a separate map

Just like Blood Gulch is a separate map from Infinity. no one gives a shit that they're on different planets
 
All this people crying about the lack ADS on a Star Wars game....my gosh.

This is how you fire a Blaster weapon

Battlefront was revealed to be shipping without all the planets in the galaxy, controllable vehicle campaigns, or a solid gold disc. So people are let down before they've seen what there is to show.

Nah, think of defending a space station that is being boarded, with ship to ship combat happening out view ports. That would be an epic map.
 
Really wonder if there will be bots running around. And the max is 40 players with a lesser player count in some modes? Wonder if they will be able to uphold that Battlefront feeling of being in a huge battle. I want to see multiple X-Wings and TIE fighters doing dogbattles in the sky, lasers flying above my head, the sound of a lightsaber, explosions etc.

Hope the trailer is awesome :)
 
No space battles? Wtf

Disabling the various systems of the enemy ship was one of the really cool things I remember about it. Booo.
 
I'm surprised so many people are upset about no campaign. I guess it never occurred to me that there would be a full fledged story driven campaign completely different from the multiplayer.

Campaign was great in the last two games to hone your skills, learn the maps and generally just have some fun.

I'm pretty bummed there's no campaign this time around. Huge loss to the series.

Well, I'd suggest watching the movies in their entirety, they're good. That being said you really don't need to watch the movies to enjoy battlefront.
 
Battlefront 1 had more than four planets, on the PS2, in fucking 2004

Battlefront 2 had space battles, once again on the rickety ass playstation 2, as well as more than four planets, in 2006.

stop making excuses for this shit. I'm not asking them to move mountains, I'm asking for things that were expected a decade ago.
 
Updated:

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:

Going to counter that;

1. DICE know almost nothing about balance just look out how Battlefield 4 started and look at maps like Op Metro/Locker.

2. 4 Planets I only care about actual map count so when thats released then year.

3. No SP campaign? Good DICE are fucking horrible at Single Player all it would have been is a massive disappointment.

4. This could have easily been a thing. They made it scripted no idea why.

5. No ADS? Ok sure but there better be zoom for scooped weapons.

6. No class system? Like I said DICE know nothing about balance this could turn out fucking horribly

7. No Squads? What a stupid thing to not have. The buddy system would be awful it only worked(read didnt actually work) with MOH because the player count was tiny.

8. No Space Battles? In a fucking Star Wars game? No space battles? Seriously? LOL
 
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.

What was the story of Battlefront 2?
