Oh shit, so that Inferno Squad book was secretly a Battlefront 2 tie-in all along!

 

[SargerusBR]

Canon Bois

 

[GravityInsanity]

Holy shit what a trailer. Really excited for this game.

 

[Salvadora]

I like that the story perspective is on the side of the Empire/First Order.

It feels fresh.

 

[Zeus7]

Sounds like Lost Stars, I loved that book so I am excited for this!

Makes sense.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Holy WOW

 

[Amir0x]

wow that's crazy that the story is canon

 

[evi]

Class-based.

SG-17 post if you're okay.

 

[RedAssedApe]

ok that was pretty hype

 

[SmackAttack]

OH DAMN IT'S CANON

 

[N7.Angel]

BF2 is canon... I don't know how I feel about that.

 

[Surfinn]

...

Should I even bother clicking if its all CGI?

It's in engine

 

[RulkezX]

Oh my word <3

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Wtf I'm so excited but the first game sucked. D: this sounds 1000x better....

 

[Dinda]

Yay story will be canon!

 

[Mett]

Oh man! A Star Wars game where you play as an Imperial sounds really really good. I like that the main protagonist is female too.

 

[LowParry]

This is a fantastic idea with the story. Super hyped!

 

[JigglesBunny]

That SP, umph.

 

[Kayant]

Great trailer.

...

Well it's in-engine footage so up to you.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Canon story? DICE not making the SP campaign? Be still my heart

 

[Alienous]

My thought when I saw Rogue One's trailers was "Man, this would be a great campaign for a Battlefront game".

So it's cool that the campaign of this seems like a reflection of Rogue One.

 

[TheRed]

Damn this looks amazing. I'm very excited for the story after this trailer.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

Hm....sounds like the all 3 eras thing might only mean for characters. The website only says "characters from every era" not locations or any of that

Nevermind, might have been a kneejerk, i see a battle droid a few pages later.

 

[Boke1879]

I doubt it's going to look too far off. Battlefront one looked amazing. This game will too. No doubt

 

[Majine]

Huh, you don't see Darth Maul that often anymore...

 

[Drayco21]

Mitch Dyer confirmed writer

 

[CosmicRomancer]

Very nice.

Battle across all ears.

 

[purseowner]

That actually got me more hyped than The Last Jedi trailer did.

Nice job, DICE. Day one for the followup to my 2015 GOTY.

 

[Irishonion]

Hoping for a fun single player.

 

[sleepnaught]

Death Star 2 explodes and gets a pretty "meh" reaction from the ground troops.

 

[MindGamingMantis]

Calc, that shit looked hype. Campaign looks fucking hype.

 

[Ludens]

It looks good.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

damn

 

[The_Shepherd]

Great trailer from DICE as is expected at this point. I loved the first game and reading the website it seems like this game will only continue to improve upon the first.

Also I hope the single player campaign is good. I'm not a fan of the Battlefield campaigns though if the quality is equal to the pilot story from Battlefield 1 then I'll be happy.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Trailer is stunning. So good.

 

[vivekTO]

Kylo ren so good!! Very good trailer!! the Voice of emperor is something else.

 

[Theorry]

Wasnt really planning on getting this after the lack luster first one. But it looks intresting and would be a perfect game to get for Scorpio. I am weak.

 

[SLHellbound]

Mitch Dyer confirmed writer

Mitch Dyer from IGN Mitch Dyer? I don't keep up with IGN anymore.

 

[theofficefan99]

Some of that space footage had to have been CGI.

Not liking the idea of weapon modifications.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

The Criterion guy is the EP, which is usually EA's closest role to game director.

that's...weird?

This is by DICE, right?

 

[Certinty]

That looked pretty good.

More interested in this than The Last Jedi after both of their trailers.

 

[Wanderer5]

Pretty good trailer, and hell yeah at prequel era stuff being in this.

 

[sphagnum]

Nice canon reference with the Sentinel droid on the bridge there. Hope Rae Sloane and Gallius Rax make an appearance.

 

[SmackAttack]

Space battles and classes this time? Yes! They've learned!

 

[RedAssedApe]

just said its canon in live stream...hopefully bodes well for it not being a throwaway/afterthought campaign

 

[Scotia]

This looks so good. 100% in.
