That * after free...

*REQUIRES STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT FOR APPLICABLE PLATFORM (SOLD SEPARATELY).

 

[Straight Edge]

Tarkin would be the obvious choice.

Bossk could easily be a reskinned Chewie. Same body proportions.

 

[PeterVenkman]

Huge for me as offline vs Bots was how I played Battlefront I and II.

Maybe this will make the full price buyers remorse hurt less (PC)

 

[Miroku129]

Nice, I still play this game on PS4. So much fun!

 

[Briarios]

That video kinda confirmed too that Motive is already working together with DICE on Battlefront 1 ^^




Battlefront was never a Story driven game. NEVER.

That's why I said "as far as single player content goes" - and there was plenty of solo content, I still play it and so do many others. It wasn't unreasonable for people to expect that same level of content. And, if you're trying to argue that people didn't play it solo or buy it for that reason, you're being purposefully dense.

 

[Maintenance]

Cool! Might go back to it now.

 

[DRock]

The new mode will be available starting July 20 and offers players the option to play offline against bots in a solo mission or with a friend using co-op split screen. (Console only)

Well this is fucking bullshit...

 

[MilkyJoe]

Well this is fucking bullshit...

When was the last time you ever played split screen on PC.

 

[Karak]

Late as hell. Insanely late. I guess a bit like we are seeing with other companies. Applaue for doing something absolutely expected in the original release.

 

[MMarston]

Well this is fucking bullshit...

Um...

 

[AgentOtaku]

Awesome news!

 

[adj_noun]

one larger-than-life character we know you've been patiently waiting for.

So it's Chewie and.........?

I'd prefer a leader type Tarkin, but if they put Dengar in there, I wouldn't be surprised to see them continue to complete the set.

 

[PeterVenkman]

When was the last time you ever played split screen on PC.

Literally any time it's available. I hacked Borderlands splitscreen and played through hours of it. PC co op is the best.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Now if only there was a server browser and hosting tools...

 

[Real_Madrid]

Nice, will probably buy it now when it's around 20 euro on PC. Loved playing the old battlefront games with bots.

 

[Kintaro]

Why not co-op split screen for PC? =( So dumb.

 

[Nere]

The original Battlefront from 2004 had an offline bot mode on launch. Nowdays we can be happy if we get something similar 8 months after release. This game was really not ready for release.

 

[Alkastelca]

 

[Falchion]

Nice, offline will be a good way to learn the new maps.

 

[jacobeid]

Finally.

 

[ViolentP]

When was the last time you ever played split screen on PC.

I would say almost never until I bought a Steam Link. Not that I would ever play an FPS in split screen however. Unless of course it were Timesplitters 2.

 

[DustyVonEric]

Yes!! About time

 

[Coolade]

Looks like its $19.99 on Origin right now. Perfect time to jump in, I'm glad I waited. Can anyone comment on if the season pass has been worth it?

 

[Clark W Grizwald]

These updates and features are coming way too late. People have already moved on from this game. I bought the season pass and I don't even feel motivated to play it.

I bought the season pass and game based on the fun I had with the beta and hype of the movie. I got bored a week after launch and deleted it off my XB1. I never downloaded any of the season pass. 120 bucks down the drain!

 

[Apdiddy]

Now if only there was a server browser and hosting tools...

Might make AT ST kills easier with people hosting boost sessions.

 

[DarkConfidant]

I may play the game again.

 

[Neuromancer]

I love bots! Nice work DICE.

As an aside, don't forget the PSVR X-Wing mission is coming in October as well.

 

[Garou]

Only two modes?? Why not have regular Blast-matches available as well?

 

[ShirAhava]

Can't wait...skipped out on bespin because I heard about this early this game is so fun.

 

[Darth Smurf X]

I'm still having a blast with this game. Bespin has had some of the most fun matches I've ever played in a multiplayer game and now this. What are you doing to me, DICE? Don't you know No Man's Sky comes out roughly 2.5 weeks after this update?

 

[HotHamBoy]

Man, this game BOMBA'D so hard. I just saw it on sale at the store for $20 a couple days ago, normal retail price $40. Only six months... i know it's been $25 on PSN in sales.

 

[DRock]

When was the last time you ever played split screen on PC.

Many times. Currently using a 3rd party program to run two instances of borderlands 2 to play local coop with a friend.

 

[fastest finger]

EA originally predicted sales of 9m.

As of May they had shipped 14m.

I doubt they're too concerned.

 

[LongDongJunon]

SWEET JESUS

 

[Pathfinder]

The concern is strong with you, young Jedi.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Have they removed the terrible cards yet?

 

[anothertech]

Awesome news! Sometimes you just get that Starwars Itch ya know? Best place for it imo.

My kids will love this mode.

 

[KHlover]

Would have been nice Day-1, but on the other hand this way I'll have saved some money by buying it later.

 

[kaydigi]

I wish the dlc would go on sale, $49 is a bit much on top of the base game price. I may cave soon though.

 

[witness]

That is awesome news, good on Dice!

 

[Woo-Fu]

I'm going to assume you're not on the EA Board of Directors.

 

[RyanW]

Battlefront isnt this kind of game your are looking for then...

Neither was Titanfall 1 but look what we're getting in the sequel because people wanted it

 

[Darth Smurf X]

I'm going to assume you're not on the EA Board of Directors.

He probably works for GameStop.

 

[spectator]

Since the press release wording is so unclear, does anyone know if this mode will have remote co-op functionality in addition to the console-only split-screen co-op or is split-screen the only co-op option?

Seems to work just like missions so I assume online co-op is a thing

Excellent- thank you!

 

[BassForever]

Megaton for me got the game for free awhile back haven't played much

 

[J_Viper]

Neat for people who want it, but it's kinda fucked that the only two modes available offline are the worst modes in the game.

It's almost like DICE doesn't know Conquest is "the" mode to play, considering none of the DLC supports it.

 

[Sub Zero]

I guess they're not gonna add any more single player stuff after this, like some other additional modes. Supremacy and Turning Point couldn't be that hard to implement since they are much simpler than Walker Assault.

Also can't find any info on whether or not the DLC stuff will be playable solo. I hope that will be the case because the DLC playlists are usually inhabited by the all the toxic players

I thought Walker Assault was pretty much THE most popular mode that people play online.
