What he said
Again, I'd say those people were being ridiculous, but oh well.
I like that the game we have feels very solidly OT. I love the OT. the OT is better than any other star wars shit out there (my opinion obviously).
the "missed opportunity" is probably on the business end, which I don't really care about. it seems that this game has done EXTREMELY well for EA/Dice/Disney/whatever corporate monster without including anything from TFA. they're going to have to make a sequel, after all.
it's just weird to me for people to call for content from a movie that isn't even out yet. like they've already decided that the content of said movie is great. ie they are ridiculous fanboys.
like if you're out there going "I want Finn to be a hero in Battlefront!" before you even saw TFA, you're an idiot. You haven't heard a line of dialogue come out of Finn's mouth, you know nothing about him or what he does. I mean .. come on now, that's silly
Like the others said, Drop Zone and Cargo.

You're making a lot of blanket statements here. Stop calling people idiots or ridiculous fanboys because they have a different opinion.
TFA is a part of the Star Wars universe. You don't have to see the movie to know that. The chances of one character being a stinker is great than four or ALL characters being stinkers--it's not foolish to think "I will want to play as some characters from TFA".
i apologize for the use of the word idiot, it's early and my brain is in cranky mode or something. you can all be perfectly intelligent humans and want to play as characters you know nothing about, i just think it's silly.

Look at the villains people are proposing. IG88, that lizard guy, Imperial guards - other than how they look they are blank slates. The general - who is not even armed.
There isn't enough content left in the original trilogy to fill out 4 DLC packs without really stretching. Map wise they are already past the majority of onscreen battles.

Another EA/Star Wars thread (the cannon one), and like clockwork, trolling, especially from thay certain someone.
It is getting really old. You can't even have a fucking discussion.
The mental gymnastics and plain 'reaching' is comical, and at the same time, sad.

It's also pretty obvious that Disney is specifically referring to Sequel Trilogy content. Which is why it's okay for Vader to be on Jakku and why we are more likely to get Rogue One content.
I put obvious trolls on my ignore list.

What are you even talking about man? If you really think I'm a troll just take a page from sg-17's book and ignore me instead of getting antsy every time I diss the game. I'm sorry we can't all love it like you.
Guilty conscious though? Nah.
If you want to talk about me or how I'm "trolling" just do it by username or at least do it in the threads I'm actively participating in. Comes across a little sad this way though.

In the post that I would have quoted that said it before you edited to read "handful of posters", same as sg-17 tried to slyly change it from "that specific troll" to "obvious trolls".
Come on man, don't play stupid.
Oh wait that might have just been sg again lol, either way I never said that the game would have sold poorly so I'm not sure what crow he was talking about.
Whatever, I'm out, sorry for derailing the thread for everyone else

Not playing stupid. You shit up every single Battlefront thread with the same old rhetoric. You are not looking for a "discussion". Nothing screams "let's have discourse", but rather, "how many times can I repeat the same, this game sucks, over and over".
There is never a discussion, but rather a narrative to push and try to have painted as the face of each Battlefront thread. So even igoring you, the topic is still a shitshow with the pitchforks and torches drumming along. Seeing you just makes the source more discernible.

So if I'm not even the problem it seems GAF in general has a distaste for the game, so why bother going in to gaming side threads? I love Souls but side threads always shit on their fan base so I just don't bother going in to them anymore since I know my own experience with the fan base has been mostly positive.
You're just trying to beat your head against the wall here if you think the majority of GAF is going to enjoy the game. I've outlined detailed thoughts before on Battlefront yet whenever I do, I just get hit with stuff about how "it's a reboot not a sequel" or "DICE was rushed" like that somehow makes my complaints invalid?

something doesn't add up there
Anyway as far as why I think the current thread about the canon excuse is bs;
-Galaxy Heroes mixes eras
-Battlefront 2 had 2 eras and you couldn't fight against enemies from a different era except for in Mos Eisley Assault
-It's a multiplayer shooter and canon shouldn't be a concern
-There are various inconsistencies like Luke wearing his ROTJ outfit on Hoth, Vader in the Battle of Jakku etc.
-The game banked on TFA to move units and then didn't bother having TFA DLC
-Battle of Jakku DLC was hinted that there was going to be stuff beyond the Original Trilogy since Jakku was after the events of the OT and was never mentioned in the OT
Whether DICE is lying about not being able to include TFA content is irrelevant - maybe they are, maybe Disney's contractual obligations really won't allow them to. Either way it's disheartening and then a poor excuse from Disney and not DICE/EA.

Yet people just read the 'headline' and not the post.
So after reading that. It is quite clear the first Battlefront was to focus on the OT timeline. It will seemingly build upon that in the future wether it be DLC or the sequel. It is not that hard to understand.
All they were saying, is while doing so, they have to make sure they adhere to the canon timeline. If the contract was for OT timeline only, they have to be careful not to add dead or not even born yet characters.
Obviously the game is going to bend a few rules with Jedi Luke on Hoth, that is not what the statement was referring to with "canon".

*Grabs episode 7 branded popcorn*
Whatever excuses they have made, I'm personally pleased that Battlefront has mostly adhered to the OT timeline. For me the OT era is the best era, so attempting to keep the game within those confines makes me happy. I don't want other eras mixed in. There are the canon issues like Luke in ROTJ garb on Hoth, sure, but they don't really bother me. Why? I like Luke Skywalker. I grew up wanting to be Luke Skywalker (i'm of a certain age). I don't have any particular affinity for Kylo Ren. Is it a little jolting and ridiculous to see the Emperor running around zapping people on Hoth? Sure, but it's still THE FUCKING EMPEROR. it's cool, it's fun, it's all characters and locations that I grew up loving. Jakku is obviously the odd thing out, here, but it doesn't really bother me - it's a big sand map (might as well be tattooine) with OT star destroyers and AT ATs and shit crashed on it. I'm fine with that, as it instantly makes me think "OT Star Wars". If they stuck in a map with grassy hills with gungan dinosaurs walking around and crashed trade federations tanks lying around, I'd be bummed, because I associate those things with shitty Star Wars.
TLDR; whatever their excuses for sticking to OT locals, characters, and ships may be .. I'm happy that that's what they're doing with this game. Save the other stuff for a different game.

So... you hate it when it's done to your favorite series, but you'll gladly be part of the problem for other games?
I'm glad we've cleared that up.
Psychoward

That still doesn't explain how Galaxy of Heroes can include multiple eras and Battlefront can't though.
I never said it was my favorite series and yeah I think calling out a fanbase is different than criticizing the game itself. People's problems with the game are outlined so often yet constantly you get people who like it shitting on their opinions just as much as the other way around evidenced by the fact that I get called a troll for disliking the game.Darth Smurf X said:

Yes it does. CONTRACTS.
Every game contract is different. And they already mentioned the differences with mobile licensing versus console in that report.
Ironic, eh?
Psychoward
Banned
What's the difference between mobile licensing and console licensing? The only thing I saw is that they said their mobile portfolio has a long lifespan
So instead of continuing to grow Battlefront, they're just gonna create a brand new $60 + $50 game to add the TFA timeline? And sure you can make the case that Jakku is in the original trilogy timeline but you'd be wrong. It wasn't mentioned in the original trilogy whatsoever and was first referenced in TFA.
Nothing wrong with that.

Okay but I didn't read anything in that report that prevented them from adding TFA content to Battlefront 3. Feel free to quote evidence as to how I'm wrong though, I read the entire section that was quoted on GAF and didn't see anything.

Where is the quote that shows they can't add TFA content to BF3 because of contractual obligations?
As of right now you're agreeing with me that they're holding off on TFA content to put in a new game instead of adding it in this game. Thanks for proving me right!

I think you get called a troll, not for disliking the game, but for posting that you dislike the game in every. single. Battlefront. thread.
I don't like Call of Duty games, so I don't even click on threads with that name in the title. And if I do, I certainly don't post about how much I hate them.
We get it. You hate Battlefront. Move on with your life. That game STILL isn't for you despite the patch, so maybe move on to annoying a new crowd of gamers. The Witness just came out and is $40. Have fun.
I agree with a lot of your gripes, but I think one of the issues you keep having with the game is that you're thinking of it as Battlefront 3.
It's not Battlefront 3.

It was right there bolded.
And it is not Battlefront 3. It is a reboot.
He spells out that Battlefront is based on historical OT canon per their agreement. Other games have their own agreements.

There was a port forwarding guide for BF posted on the Battlefront reddit.
Helped people out.
I know my friend got rid of his lag with the game.
I'm at work atm, so I can't link it, but if you can't find it, I'll PM you a link in the next few hours.
I could actually do this lol.
My local theater was selling TFA branded popcorn buckets and drink cups on the premier. So I still have those.

Started the game for the first time in 2 weeks after a lenghty DA:I induced hiatus and have discovered the DH17. This gun is absolutely magnificent and versatile in Cargo and other small modes. Every game I rolled with it netted me at least second place.
Also, has there been an influx of new players on the PS4 or is it just the old people returning for the update? Even with the gun being so good I feel like I'm swatting a lot of players with zero effort. And I'm not even that good to begin with.

Not sure. Ive been playing a lot of the smaller modes lately and I usually do pretty damn well to amazing. I jumped into a few rounds of Walker Assault last night and got my ass whooped.
Could be the more skilled players are sticking to the larger modes.
