Preferred Battlefront 1, all the vehicles felt meatier, in Battlefront 2 everything had boost and bounced around like shit. When an AT-ST shot near you Battlefront 1 you went flying and died, if it shot near you in Battlefront 2 it did nothing.
I know the 2nd had sprint and space battles etc, but the sprint mechanic didnt feel that well suited to the gameplay, the first game felt in a way like you were playing a Stormtrooper/rebel/whatever from the films, the 2nd one didnt capture that. Loved playing as a jedi, but they never made me piss myself in fear the way the relentless invincible jedi in the first game did if you ran into one and they werent near a ledge and you had no vehicles to crush them with.
Battlefront 3 overdue, but i gots no console to play it on unless it's somehow a PS2 release xD
Game shown in OP's video was cancelled, highly doubt any of that will end up in Battlefront 3.
And HESKEY speaked the truth... bf1 > bf2.
2:35 onwards was the cancelled BF3, before that seems to be Dice's stuff.
Space combat and certain maps were cooler tho. And Assault in Mos Eisley
It even shows it in the video, but that is footage from "first assault," another canceled star wars game. The only thing from dice is the snowy hoth scene that is the trailer they showed at e3... doesn't even show a second of gameplay. :(You what?!?
My angus is peppered for BF3.
Are they doing multiple eras like BF2 with the clone wars and the rebels vs the empire?
I'm trying not to get too depressed before seeing any actual footage, but so far BF3 is shaping up to be a letdown. It is rumored to be only the rebels vs. empire, to better tie in with the new movies, supposedly (it is apparently going to be released the same month as episode 7 hits theaters). Also, it is rumored to only be a fps. In any official news released by EA regarding the new game, they refer to it as a fps. While the original bf games were mainly 3rd person, and I personally enjoyed them far more in 3rd person, they did offer the ability to switch into first person view, so we can keep our fingers crossed that the reverse will be true for the new game. So far it is looking like a star wars-skinned battlefield game, which isn't necessarily a good thing (imo) since that series has gone downhill ever since bad company 2.
You what?!?
I didn't even know there was another cancelled battlefront esque game :(.
I still played a fuckton of BF2, and loved certain maps. But space combat was only really cool for a bit, i guess i had such high expectations when i first played it in campaign it seemed massive and huge and complex. After a few more i realized there wasnt much to space battles and the whole boarding ships thing was semi-useless.
Assault on Mos Eisley, again was fun but after a few mins? And playing it online, sweet jesus the QQ... everyone on villain team played with character with force choke, it's unblockable, inescapable and they walk up to you and slash your tiny sum of hp left after it whilst you're still in the sprawled animation. Anyone on the hero team had a character with force pull, if anyone anywhere in sight pulls you then you enter an inescapable sprawling animation towards them and they can slash you as you lie infront of them. It got so bad many of the servers removed force powers
Feel like it is gonna be disappointing, but i am still tempted to preorder just because it is a new battlefront :D
So I've done some digging, and here are the (mostly disappointing) facts I've found so far:
- Only 4 planets to fight on when the game launches, with more to come via DLC of course. ONLY FOUR. WTF! (hoth, endor, sullust (not seen in the movies), and tatooine)
- No campaign mode (but there will be a few short solo/co-op missions)
- Already planning DLC, even though the game isn't even finished (nothing new here, typical DICE/EA move). At least the first DLC will be free, and is based on a planet from episode 7 (Jakku).
- No space battles
- No prequel era
- Supposedly there is both first AND third person view (yay!)
- You can play as heroes/villains again, as well as iconic ships like the millenium falcon
- No confirmation if there will be singleplayer with bots (but probably not, other than the few "campaign" missions)
Not looking good so far, but if they really make those four maps/planets complete masterpieces, it could be decent. :?
- No space battles
Campaign was the best part for me even if the ai was shit. Also do we know if you can play in the clone war time period?
Was so much fun even with it not being MP.
And remember when i didn't have internet on my PS2 and played only campaign and instant action with bots on BF1.
And you still praise consoles. While you were playing limited campaign with bots on PS2, I was playing BF in local with 64 players. Yeah, it was in net cafe but I knew everybody in there and it was epic experience.
I grew up with N64, Dreamcast, PS1, NES, PS2, GC etc and consoles so probably why. Even though i did play AOE2 like crazy when i was a kid. And atleast bots don't use gay tactics and stuff like Jona said.
You mean how boring and simpleminded the AI in those early games are? I'll admit it was easy to get by when you were as simpleminded as the AI in the game but in a reasonable grown up perspective you should expect more. SP is completely unappealing to me at this point.
Then they can improve AIor why not just play against people?
or why not just play against people?
BF 2 was great in coop or local multiplayer, but online kinda sucked. Way too easy to troll and TK, or if Friendly fire was off it because easy to run up close as smuggler and det-pack without hurting yourself, same with vanguard and mines
At this point I personally don't know what to feel towards the new game. Obviously my nostalgia can't cope with this and the classic is dead. But this "new" take might be interesting. Only thing that really bugs me is that you can play as a female on the Empire side ...
They're taking a Bethesda, making a mod basically.
Yes, Battlefront 3 looks (so far) to be a $60 Battlefield 4 mod.
(click to show/hide)
Only issue I see is the lack of planets. Space battles kinda sucked in BF2 and it's bad for players who don't like flying cos that's all they've got. Battlefield 3 and 4 got criticized for a poor single player so I'd rather they didn't bother with one than add some crappy afterthought.
Prequel era is both annoying and understandable. It's obviously not the time period they're going for which is OK, but I sure would like to run about as an ARC trooper.
Well it sucked in BF2 that why you improve it in the sequel, instead of removing it completely. They have the money for it, and the engine already has good flight mechanics afaik.
Even the battlefront games made for the PSP got more customization and gameplay elements than this. You could fight on the ground, find an x-wing. Fly around on the ground shooting at infantry, then you could fly up into a space battle like BF2 ...
Fun fact: The one where you could do that was actually a port of the scrapped battlefront 3 code from ages back. A shame that the old and glorious-looking battlefront 3 got reduced to a psp exclusive. :/

How can you improve a game mode that only has one vehicle type? Be like restricting all game play to tanks it's boring.
Only way it could work would be with a boarding mission, like a star destroying capturing a rebel ship so there's corridor based ground fighting and space combat outside. But then there's no vehicles other than spacecraft and so the tank fans get annoyed. And that's one map.
World of tanks? Warthunder? There are games that are good while only using one sort of vehicles. Sure they would also have to improve the boarding, dogfighting and bombing of ships to make it more interesting. SWBF2 did it decent enough for its time, and thats a while back.
Looks pretty neat, but they are going to have to add a lot of stuff on top of this. Otherwise ill just look for a populated bearforce 2 server.
Even the air combat is dumbed down.
2 multiplayer maps so far, the walker mission and a smaller 10v10 capture the drop pods map on some rocky planet. I like it so far, but it is EXTREMELY dumbed down version of battlefield/battlefront. Even the air combat is dumbed down.

People over at Planetside 2 reddit are predicting this will increase Planetside 2's playerbase like the BF4 release did.
Planetside still fun though
Shouldn't it be called battlefront anyways?
Sucks Battlefront 1 and 2's community is almost dead i guess.
I had all the Battlefront games on PS2 and on PC. The multiplayer on both games were amazing. I know nostalgia is talking but it was really fun / good. Also, when the fuck is Republic Command 2? That game had awesome multiplayer.
You don't say, auto aim as long as you look in the general direction :lol:
Pray that lessons are learned if the latest release from a hugely popular series based on a hugely popular franchise doesn't make big bucks for EA. People may slowly begin to put 2 and 2 together.
Total War used to be an awesome franchise, now it's horseshit, for exampleBlaming Sega for that.
I own nothing next-gen, and I've gone off shooters in general anyway although I loved the first 2 Battlefronts back in the day. End result is that I wont get this game no matter how good or bad it is.
Unpopular opinion - Saw some youtube vids of the new Battlefront from beta, it actually looks pretty good.
Maybe cos I never played any Battlefield games so am not tempted to say 'OMG it's just a reskinned Battlefield!', to me it just looks like a next gen Battlefront. Doesn't look like it's 'lost the Star Wars soul' at all.
I love the death animations and sounds, the rifles/lasers sound and look much more solid than in the old Battlefronts, this pleases me. Havent seen any multiplayer yet with the bullshit jump-jets, they might be annoying. The old games had that too tho, and bullshit rolling/sprint-jumps from the basic infantry that made the battlefield very un-starwarsy (tho i'm sure it's super-realistic).
I was as ready as anyone for the hate bandwagon (especially since I don't plan on playing it even if it's really good), and I love talking about how modern remakes of games i'm nostalgic about fall short, however this one may not be so bad. It certainly seems extremely Star Warsy, and at least at the noob level I was seeing on youtube, it looks a lot more like you're in a genuine firefight from the original trilogy.

Makes him look like sith? That's the outfit he wears in the last movie. Every nerd beyond level three would know that!
I'm a fan of ambiguity and no clear cut 'goodies' and 'baddies'
