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. :/

Wow that is even more saddening. Fuck you EA for shutting down Pandemic ...

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.

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.

They may be games that are good but their sole purpose is to drive a tank or fly a plane. Point is battlefield and therefore battlefront is catering to people who don't just want to do that. By creating maps that are restricting this you're going to make players leave who don't want to play that stuff.

I do kinda feel like it could've had it's own game mode but I don't think Dice would want to spend time on a game mode that could cater to only a portion of the players.

Played a bit so far. Pretty damn cool. But plenty of lag, fps and bug problems.

Overall not to shabby. Graphics good, seems well optimized. But gameplay is a bit bland, maybe due to simpleton map design. Also dislike weapons, but I've dislike them in every non Jedi Knight Star Wars game. Dark Forces II had best SW weapon models and sounds imho. Every else was going for the worse.

Just watching streams the game seems really bland. At most a reskinned Battlefield. Beta supposedly opens for everyone tomorrow and I don't think I can be arsed even to download and give it a shot.

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.
