This article wraps up my thoughts nicely, including the Forbes article linked at the bottom.

"We don't have features from 2005, buy our game plstnxbai"

I don't see a problem with the player count though, on console BF2 was around 15 on 15.

Look in the comments of the article for their reason to exclude space battles.

But hold on, apart from that blogpost. Has it actually been confirmed by Dice/EA that AT-ATs won't be player controlled?

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
they should kill themselves
seriously, years in development and all they can manage is a half-arsed multiplayer

Look in the comments of the article for their reason to exclude space battles.

For anyone who can't be assed to find the comment:

Quote
Don't forget their reasoning for why there's no space battles (http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/04/17/star-wars-celebration-battlefront-does-not-have-space-battles-prequel-era):

"...[Patrick] Bach continued, 'Space is hard, right? Not from a [development] perspective, but from a logistical perspective. Is that fun? For us it doesn’t make sense to create a battle above you if you’re fighting other players who are not there to fight. Our focus is to do planetary battles.'"

While I do understand if their reason is to ensure everyone can play what they like - and save a bunch of money not having to host 3 server instances for land-only, air-only, and combined operations (land maps and space maps) gameplay - if the point of the game is to cash in on the upcoming Star Wars movie, what's the point of not including space maps when the Star Wars franchise is KNOWN for its space battles?!...

...unless, of course, this new Star Wars movie has more battles on the ground than space dogfights, which would make the latter's exclusion from DICE's game negligible, or the fact that DICE still doesn't know how to handle air-only maps - seriously, a Google search for issues regarding Battlefield 2142's Titan mode (the closest DICE has come to an air/space-only map) and its titular Titans; those things were remarkably prone to game-breaking glitches, bugs, and exploits.

MY FUCKING BLOOD IS BOILING RIGHT NOW.

Star Wars Battlefront / 17 Apr 2015
Star Wars Celebration: Battlefront Does Not Have Space Battles, Prequel Era
2k
Aerial combat is in atmosphere.

By Mitch DyerStar Wars Battlefront will not have space combat, nor will it launch with Prequel Trilogy era settings, vehicles, or characters.

“It’s not much about space,” Patrick Back, General Manager at DICE told IGN. “Most battles are planetary battles, so our focus right now is to make sure we only get that right. The core of Star Wars battles — the Endors, the Hoths, et cetera — you want to take that to perfection. You want to do it right.”

Bach continued, “Space is hard, right? Not from a [development] perspective, but from a logistical perspective. Is that fun? For us it doesn’t make sense to create a battle above you if you’re fighting other players who are not there to fight. Our focus is to do planetary battles.”

Battlefront Producer Craig Mcleod added, “No space battles. It’s all about the epic planetary battles and getting that right. Fighting with X-Wings and TIE Fighters, we have that. It’s taken in the atmosphere. This is something we discussed with Lucasfilm and they were happy to be on board with that.”

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Again, im not surprised given how shitty frostbites physics are. I cant imagine a 'legged' vehicle working in frostbite.

That is going to be most amusing to watch, each leg glitching out with collision physics ala tank+jeep whilst the walker driver is sat their crying with despair. <_<

Fun fact: In ESB, Lucas actually fired a laser beam at an AT-AT leg during the Battle of Hoth to cover up the fact that the leg was twitching/freaking out XD

On Endor it seems reasonable with all the trees. But on Hoth? Wow, if that's the case I don't know what to say. Scripted AT-ATs on Hoth? Battlefront was all about freedom. Pilot any vehicle you desire.

Battlefront will be 2015's biggest gaming flop.

The game should have been handed to another publisher and developer.

Thank you EA for destroying another beloved franchise.
