Star Wars Battlefront Announced by EA (DICE)
- Thread starter Horse Armour
- Start date
I never understand why people get hyped over a CG trailer.
Battlefront had been rumored to be in the works for years then it was confirmed canceled when FreeRadical went out.
The fact that it is alive and being made by DICE is what has made everyone so hyped.
Finally glad that Star Wars was taken away from Lucas Arts

I read somewhere that the DICE studio in charge of Battlefront was formerly Danger Close.
Is this cause for concern?

It killed Pandemic and Free Radical. Now that DICE has it the curse may be lifted? I hope they bring back the space battles like BF2. God those were so amazing.

The vision Free Radical had for Battlefront 3 was you could be fighting in the trenches on Hoth, jump into a TIE fighter and seamlessly leave the planet's atmosphere to engage in a space battle. No loading screens.
Now imagine that next-gen. On Frostbite 3. With 64 players.

Or on PC with 128 players (wishful thinking).

IMO this will be more interesting than BF4. I'm tired of modern war.
So very much this.
And imagine the sales once the movie comes out in 2015.
(Assuming people realize this title wouldn't be out until around the same time frame as the movie release)

Microsoft owns this franchise? It's an exclusive title for Xbone?

Too bad you won't play a potentially awesome game because of something silly like that.
Won't be caring.

And? That's what Battlefront has always been. I like Battlefield's gameplay a lot, but having the option to play with spaceships and lasers instead of modern tanks and guns is going to be awesome.

Enjoy all the bullshit EA will bake into the game, as well as the 24 month expiration date on the multiplayer.

Well, I'll be playing on PC, so I'll be able to find servers long after EA shuts down their dedis. Enjoy not knowing shit about a game and jumping to conclusions, I suppose. Though I do fully expect a dab of the EA bullshit.

Yeah, just look at the BF1942, 2, 2142 servers. All gone within 2 years. BF3 will be going down soon too for sure.

An open letter to DICE Re:SW:Battlefront:
So uh - take some ideas from them mobas, they are great and popular for many reasons. The sense of combat and achievement with every match, the sense of action and scale - there always cool shit happening. I feel elements of the moba can fit MP shooters well and I want Star Wars: Battlefront to be that shooter. Anyway - One of the things that makes the mobas great is the use of AI drones (creeps) as a crucial game mechanics. Providing actions for players as well as being used to take down the turrets and ultimately the enemy base. SO let me break this down for you Battlefront style:
MOBA MP MODE IN SW:BF:
- 5v5 - 16v16 human players with loads of AI dudes spawning all over
- Objective is to take out/blow up the enemy base or something (this could be a spaceship whateves)
- The multiple paths to the base have auto turrets that fuck people up
- AI Drones with spawn on either side (stormtroopers and rebels n' that)
- Autoturrets will always attack AI first etc.
- AI could be more smart with all that cloud shit like TitanFall
- Players can invest in their bases to get upgraded AI troops - more weapons - more vehicles
BENEFITS:
- Battles will seem large in scale
- Maps can be huge and the players will not feel alone or get lost
- AI can spawn near alone players and inform them how to get to objectives
- Games will have a good flow and objective like a MOBA
- Players can farm AI people to help if they are getting killed by other humans a lot IDK
- Team play is encouraged - woo!
EXTRA STUFF:
- GROUND TO SPACE COMBAT
- Hero characters will tear up AI players and feel good
- Vehicles
- Verticality
- I want this game pretty bad so thanks
