basically, from what i can gather, they're using what they can from the leaked builds of Free Radical's Star Wars Battlefront III along with brand new assets and making it into a full fledged, completely free PC game, while adding new content - and promising to keep developing free dlc once it's finished

they're based in russia and they're experienced modders who make up " Frontwire Studios"... but the whole "russian" thing might make disney killing this project a lot, lot harder, no?

you can already go download test builds, they seem to be updating weekly.

and yes, they've managed to keep the ground-to-space from the original free radical project.

i actually really, really like the new battlefront... but this sounds phenomenal!

sheev spin me if old.

Why.

Why tell people you are doing this.

Now Disney is just gonna shut it down. DO IT FIRST, RELEASE IT. Then tell people, before its crushed.

Looks very cool, but I am not sure for how long they'll be able to escape Disney's lawyers' radar, especially if they gain more traction and publicity. Shame.

It's interesting. I still wonder if dice is taking the feedback for Battlefront 2. People really seem to want BF1&2 style gameplay over what they got.
 
I don't know why they even bother to try. One thing if it was a dead IP, but not when it is basically the biggest franchise in the world.
 
lol this looks awful. And simply ripping the models from the leaked alpha and putting it into a free available Engine wont just work..

I really like Battlefront EA but it doesn't play like 1 or 2 at all.
You could say the same about Battlefield 4 to 2. But there is a visible line of progression and evolution in both cases.

Of course it isn't going to play identically to a 10 year old game on a janky-ass engine.

I'm not really sure how you could say that it doesn't play similarly to the originals. You've got third person, no ADS, mobile gameplay, realitvely long TTK... the only big departure is the lack of dodge rolling.

I hated the dodge roll. Good that this isnt in the DICE Battlefront.
