EA really shit the bed on this one. They've had so long to include content, and they know what fans want from this, but they played it safe with the four big-hitter maps. Those maps better be goddamn spectacular. I'm not thrilled about weapon unlocks and what appears to be a focus on first-person.

Wait? There's not fucking class system?


Nobody said that. Not confirmed.

So much misinformation in this thread... Calm down people.

Well, guess i'm not going to buy star wars games now.

EA, FUCK YOU AND YOUR SHIT COMPANY, THIS IS NOT A GARBAGE MONEY GRABING GAME, THIS IS STAR WARS, DON'T FUCK WITH THE STAR WARS COMMUNITY YOU GREEDY PEICE OF SHITS!

There will be more than eight maps at launch, add the free Force Awakens map pack in December, I'm guessing we'll get... What, around 11-15 maps including the map pack?

40 players is good. I don't need 64 people to have fun. I've had fantastic Battlefield games with 24 people, and that's Battlefield. I think the gameplay is going to be quite a bit different in some areas.

No space is disappointing, but we can still engage in dogfights. Not the end of the world. The first Battlefront didn't have space battles, and it was a good game.

I think you're drastically overreacting.

*sigh* i just hope it doesn't turn into a money grabbing dlc game, that's my problem with EA and Battlefront. I just want a good game to enjoy and that's it.

I never said that. I imagine there will be, since it's DICE. I'm referring to the weapon progression system that IGN talked about from the demo. Like unlocking better guns and gear for different classes like in Battlefield.

I'd just wait until it comes out before I'd make a decision.

The people who endlessly complain and assume everything will be terrible (a lot of people here) can be just as misleading as the diehard blind fanboys.

I wouldn't day "better". In the first film we see the Stormtroopers carry a bunch of different guns. I imagine there will be a limited number of guns that fit into several basic archetypes. The E-11 will be SMG-like, the DLT-19 will have a slower ROF/be semi-auto but will be more powerful, etc.

Probably the nostalgic, that could be the reason why people are getting fired up on Battlefront (I can understand that, don't want a game to turn shit), also.

Of course it's going to be a fun, high-quality game. There's no doubt in my mind. But the lack of a campaign, space missions, or even something structured like Galactic Conquest is a huge letdown. And it's great that each planet has two maps, but it's still disappointing that our first look into the new canon of SW is going to be the same old places we've always seen. No clone wars is immensely disappointing, too.

No, there will be more than eight. More than two per planet.

I know, and I apologize if it seems as though I'm trying to ignore what you're saying, I'm not. I completely agree. Certain things are rather disappointing.

It's just that a lot of people in here are getting really angry because of misinformation. And there are more than eight maps/four per planet.

So we're going to have 2 sets of desert themed maps, a set of ice themed maps, a set of forest themed maps, and a set of volcanic themed maps.

I wish there was a little more variety honestly. I guess since most of the interesting worlds to visit are now non-canon they had to make due with what's been mentioned or seen in the movies.

Felucia, Kamino, Naboo, Kashyyyk, and Geonosis are all canon and in the movies, not to mention all the indoor maps on the Death Star or capital ships. I imagine these maps are going to be quite a bit better than the old maps, but I agree that the lack of variety is unfortunate.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Has there been any solid word on gametypes?

It's already confirmed to have at least 5 planets by Dec 9, there are 2 maps just on Jakku. So even if it's two per planet that's still 10 maps, and the size they cover will naturally dwarf the original legacy maps.

I want to believe the reason why there's no space battles at launch is because of time. For now DICE is focusing on making the game and doing ground combat to make sure it works right. There is a teaser image of a space stormtrooper which means there is going to be something in space. But the problem I have with this though is that it's an EA controlled game. For Battlefield 4 I know if you want to play that jet VS jet playlist you have to download a DLC which you have to pay for to unlock that gamemode. I have a feeling if space battles are added latter on as a DLC it's going to be charged.

It's most likely going to be DLC. BUT what could work is to release 1 or 2 space maps as free DLC to give us a taste of what it's like, then put the rest into paid DLC.

Well, to be honest space battles were really quite bad in BF2, they were really annoying in galactic conquest (at least, against AI)

Removing them doesn't fix anything. In Elite Squadron the space battle  and ground battle was in the same map. The whole ground to space thing is brought into that game. The space battle does play a minor role in the ground battle but you can use the ship to take out command posts. The other thing is that space battles are more in depth than what they are in Battlefront 2. You can take out the ship from withing to blow it up. The whole ship is playable instead of it being a hanger and a few rooms.

In 1942 the aircraft carriers can be moved around the map to deploy airplanes to attack the island. Space battles can play out the same way they did in the ocean maps for 1942. The capital ships can be used to launch fighters which are used to attack the ground.

"I'm too poor to buy map packs so I'll blame the devs for trying to make a profit."
The main issue is that the game is shipping out with barely any content (4 maps), which means that players will get burnt out on the game much more quickly, resulting in them buying the DLC. It sounds like a marketing strategy to get more people to buy it.

But now that the DLC has been confirmed to be for free, this shouldn't be an issue anymore.

4 planets =/= 4 maps.

Where are people getting this 4 maps shit from?
Previously every planet had one map with a possible space battle (that doesn't really change anything besides what planet is below you); unless they've otherwise said that there's more than one location per planet, we have to go by what Battlefront has always done: planet = map.
The first Battlefront had on average two maps per planet.  On Tatooine you had the Dune Sea, Mos Eisley and Jabba's Palace.  On Kashyyyk you had the Docks and the Islands (etc.).

Hopefully that's what they're doing.

They've said there are more than 8 maps in the game. So that is what they're doing.
