Star Wars: Battlefront (20v20 Combat, Star Wars: Skirmishfront)

[Qalbert]

someone pointed out that the snippet of Fett has a Star Destroyer crashing, which implies it's from Battle of Jakku which would make his surviving the Sarlacc canon again

What do we know now?

• There are no Space battles. All aerial combat is within the atmosphere.
• There is no Single Player campaign. Instead missions can be carried out with other players and/or bots (See Titanfall).
• The AT-AT on Endor is on "rails." Thus it's not controllable by the player and if you don't destroy it, it will just walk in the set path it was programed for (it is a mission objective to be destroyed).
• There is no split-screen co-op on PC. Reason: No other AAA PC titles do this (this is the serious answer).
• Consoles do get spilt-screen for local play.
• Gameplay is similar to the first Battlefront.
• The game runs at 60 FPS.
• There will be 4 planets at launch (see previous details post) and at least 3 maps per planet.
• Players are customizable.
• Iconic Heroes & Villains are not customizable past what they are known for in the current canon.
• There are Killstreaks & Nemesis bonuses that are staples in Battlefield.

So, it's basically a battlefield game.

Still buying

DICE is usually pretty good about running betas, so hopefully this will have one.

Cash on delivery with EA shit. Don't fall for the trap!

Not sure man. Can't a Star Destroyer crash on any planet?

[Qalbert]

in theory yes, but as the other desert planet is tatooine that seems unlikely

[6souls]

Pretty sure it's Jakku and either Boba survived or we have a new one. Disney knows Boba is money in the bank. I'm sure they're going to bring him back.

[Zetanio]

So they announced everything NOT in the game?

I'm out for this one. EA is just awful.

Star Wars Battlefront: Premium™ only $49.99!

I want to be excited for this, I really do, but It's EA and their past experiences since BF3 are just terrible.
