Less details mean they can make more content. The new Battlefront looks absolutely gorgeous because DICE is great at making pretty games. They focus on the little details.

I can't see how people are praising this unfinished build over the new Battlefront. It sure has a lot of content, but most of it looks PS2-era quality. Hell, they probably did reuse a bunch of assets from Battlefront 2.
I mean, if DICE could use the first two games as a base to just build upon and improve, of course we'd get a lot of content. But they had to start from scratch, so I think they did an alright job, except for neglecting some form of galactic conquest/campaign content. We can only properly compare Battlefront 2 whenever the next DICE Battlefront hit, so they will be on equal footing (estabilished engine, possibility of reusing assets, proven and more balanced gameplay, etc).

Yep 2 years for developing what DICE delivered is impressive to me. Would I like more? Of course. But I much prefer the new Battlefront to this PS2-quality one.

How is it hilarious? A game with textures from 13 years ago can have more content than a excellent looking game from 2015? That sounds about right to me.
yes battlefront should have shipped unfinished for more maps
Wow this is crazy! I love huge leaks like this but it makes me sad because it is the final nail in the coffin. It's like looking at a dead body and knowing that game won't be made.
It's the same way I felt about Blur 2 videos. Now we only have that crappy iPhone game (Blur Overdrive I believe)...

Maybe they could have delayed it or made the season pass a reasonable price? Just a thought.
They were banking on ep 7 hype yet didn't even include any episode 7 dlc lol, gotta save that for the $110 sequel.
That being said the videos here don't really get me excited either, it's pre-pre-pre alpha. Vehicles on the map are pretty cool though, RIP.
The latter for sure. But the former? No thanks, Battlefront combined with the Episode VII anticipation is what made the whole thing so special. It absolutely needed to release then.

That is exactly what it was.
Yeah, I'm sure EA and Disney would have agreed to miss out on the movie hype and the 12 million plus sales.
Also, $50 is the standard price for a season pass that includes 16 maps. Get over it or don't buy it.
I don't need to defend this game, it's sales do that just fine. It's so sad that you feel the need to jump on evert Battlefront thread and bitch about the game. Surely you have better ways to spend your time.

Which would have been understandable if they didn't announce after episode 7 was already out that they're saving episode 7 DLC for the sequel....

I wonder, anyone knows how much content did the first Battlefront have? It's funny because I always see people comparing DICE Battlefront with Battlefront II, but no one bringing up the original Battlefront. Just a thought.

Oh so I'm supposed to feel empathy for a game releasing with 4 maps for each mode because EA and Disney wanted to cash in on the Episode 7 hype (and then after Episode 7 releases tell us that there's no Episode 7 dlc coming until the sequel lol)? Sorry pal.
Oh and $50 is the "standard" huh? Better bring that up with Halo 5 or Driveclub or any of the number of recent games that have their maps/tracks as being completely free along with providing a decent amount of content at launch. Man it must suck to live your life and religiously defend a mediocre game every time a new thread pops up.

IMO the reason that no Episode 7 content is coming for the first game is because it's a way to introduce the newer generation to movies they may not have seen off the back of the Episode 7 hype. I mean, the movie was huge and a knock on effect was going to be kids asking for that new Star Wars game. Well now that new Star Wars game gives them something instantly relate to in the original movies should they decide to watch them, which considering their age and generally outdated FX it may not be so easy to keep their interest otherwise. Simply playing the game and being locked to original trilogy content alone might help raise interest, and it would kind of explain why no prequel stuff is showing up too since its reception is generally negative.
There are 4 maps for one mode. The others have more than 4.
i dont think its a bad game at all, i'm still playing it, but you know that the sales of a thing don't defend it in any way.

Yeah but I also enjoy calling out shill bs as well.
Like saying its sales mean it's a great game, I sure enjoyed The Second Best Game of All Time: Wii Sports

I hope you have some evidence to call someone a "shill". Someone who enjoys a game, or fan of something sure, but shill... back that shit up homie.

I posted in the original Star Wars Battlefront III what could have been thread. I recommend you guys read through it, there's a former project lead who has some good info.
Also the links aren't there anymore but you can find them here. Mods please just let me know if it wasn't ok to post that and I will take it down ASAP.

You and SG-17 have been in nearly every Battlefront thread defending it from every criticism imaginable. Does that qualify?
shill
noun
1.
a person who poses as a customer in order to decoy others into participating, as at a gambling house, auction, confidence game, etc.
2.
a person who publicizes or praises something or someone for reasons of self-interest, personal profit, or friendship or loyalty.

This was the one I was going by...
shill
SHil/Submit
NORTH AMERICANinformal
noun
noun: shill; plural noun: shills
1.
an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others.
a person who pretends to give an impartial endorsement of something in which they themselves have an interest.
"a megamillionaire who makes more money as a shill for corporate products than he does for playing basketball"
verb
verb: shill; 3rd person present: shills; past tense: shilled; past participle: shilled; gerund or present participle: shilling
1.
act or work as a shill.
Because we are fans, and gasp, actually enjoy the game, oh dear, never heard of those in gaming before.
Shill it is not. We do not pretend to like it for other interests, or are paid to like it.
The internet, even this site, must be riddled with "shills" then.
But let us pretend, and ignore the one's who fly to these posts like a beacon to unload shit about a game they do not care about. Which do you think is less toxic? We have our criticisms, head to the OT if you want to read them.
Agreed.

I like the new battlefront as much as the older ones. This looks like it coulda been cool, especially the ground to space stuff but im happy with what we got.
Even then, how is that shilling?
They're not actively making or persuading you to buy the game.

I suppose you're right. Their behavior was dismissive not shilling. Apologies.
This has no place here, nor does attacking the current Battlefront or defending it.
According to the dash it's "gold" which makes me LOL with the transparent ships and 30FPS. Surely if it was "gold" it'd be better optimized and levels would be near complete.
Hmm....I wouldn't hold my breath for a single player campaign...It's EA after all, they are good at wrecking good shit....like removing any kind of epic single player campaign that millions of loyal star wars fans would of definitely loved and made that 60 dollar price tag look more of a fair & honest bargain.
Yes that epic battlefront storyline that was removed in ea's rendition

I think epic, judging by Battlefield campaign's is a stretch, unless they somehow found their magic in Star Wars and made something equivalent to at least Star Wars: Republic Commando, lol.
But I know I would not have complained if there was a single player campaign, and surely would play it due to being a fan. But that is not to say that I have not gotten my money's worth when I put more hours into this game online, than any game in the past 2 years online/offline. And I was adamant if I would have fun enough to justify it, since I have not enjoyed online shooters since last gen with KZ2/Halo 3/Gears/Uncharted, and I was pleasantly surprised I do.
Arrrrrrgh, and meanwhile in Battlefront we don't even have space maps to get blown up by A-Wings in.

Sales aren't an indication of quality. It's a star wars shooter designed for all ages released at the same time as the new movie, it could have 2 maps and still would have sold what it did. Also isn't that what a forum is for, discussion? In that case surely you have better things to do than defend it
That it never got to a point where LucasArts was ready to officially announce the game should tell you how full of shit those claims were.
What did he mean by this?

How EA can trick us into buying a game with 4 planets when this cancelled game had 0 says so much about the modern game industry

Wii sports really fun so I don't see your point but whatever you're gonna keep complaining about battlefront yet ignore development realities and how contents quantity is a very subjective matter based people's income.

I don't get how people can look at this and say it is better than the recent Battefront. Just by map count? OK sure.
Why do people keep saying this?
Have you seen any other Star Wars media? They're not going around pretending they don't exist. They're still utilizing that era.

they shipped it unfinished with the 4 maps, so i can only think how bad it could have been. :^)

agreed, STAR WARS Battlefront does a great job of defending itself

Come on. It had 14 maps, and an additional 2 has been released for free.
Being the same planet template doesn't mean it's the same map. Are all call of duty city maps just 1 map ?
Fixed since there needs to be a EA logo every single time.
Looks like it.
