It's amazing how much content is being taking away in this version compared to Battlefront 2. Hell even Battlefront 1 has Y-wings being controllable along with AT&Ts. For myself each time there's new news for this game the amount I'm interested in it keeps lowering. By looking at this mess of a game I'm hoping KoTOR 3 never becomes a thing because I think it's safe to say that would end up being ruined.

Q: Can I fly the Y-wing?

A: Y-wings are non-player controlled vehicles. They are a support vehicle that you can call into battle within certain game modes.

Quote
Q: Is Split-screen available on PC?

A: Split-screen will be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One only.

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.
You really expect them to go the extra mile with the first one?  How else will they sell you the sequel?

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
How does one split screen a PC?

Who the fuck actually uses split screen in this day and age, especially on PC?
Fuck off, ya only child. I always split screened Halo with my bro.

Splitscreen on consoles is great, splitscreen on PC is a pointless clusterfuck. Kind of a non-issue there.

As for Y-wings, aren't they just bomber X-wings?

Yeah, they're slow as fuck and are only used to bomb stuff. They filled a role in space battles, but kinda sucked in ground maps.

Yeah I don't see that really being a big issue then. It'd be like piloting the AC130 in BF4. Sure it's cool and all (and makes for some 10/10 jetramming) but it'd be really boring doing anything other than jihad in one <.<

Did you not watch the leaked alpha? This has been known for a while.

Gameplay looked solid and fun from what was leaked despite a couple wonky gameplay decisions.

Also going to add in that the AT-AT was only on two maps ever, both of which were corridor maps so you would realistically only be moving in one direction anyway.

And if the AT-AT even made it to the other side, the Empire probably already had the CPs taken so there were no enemies there. I dunno why people talk it up like it was the best feature in the game.

Jesus, never thought you'd be such a corporate shill.

Maybe the reason why people are mad about it is simply because it's another piece of content that's being removed. A game from 2004 or 5 has more content than this game which is just sad.

They're not even doing battlefield: Star Wars skin edition. There's less content here than BF4. The Battlefront name is pretty much only there because they knew that attaching it to an established series would give it attention.

And the sad thing is people will buy into this and just show DICE/EA that it's okay to take established series and take a giant dump on them.

I don't understand why you're saying the content is being removed. It was never in this game. And it's perectly fine to not include extraneous stuff like an AT-AT. I'm still disappointed in the lack of game modes, but this seems like just a dumb thing to get upset about.

Why would you ever want to split screen on a PC?

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.
For what reason? Ive splitscreened on PC before, in fact, with 4 people.

Seems like theyre just lazy.

Yes using the word "removed" doesn't fit but the point though is that they're not including content in the newer game when the past games had them since the start. They're going to be charging full price for a game that's launching with less content than what Battlefront 2 did with and that's not right at all. If they do include space battles as a DLC it's most likely going to be a paid one or launch with shit for maps and the rest are going to be a charged DLC. It seems like they're not including content to either charge it as a future DLC or to make sure this game doesn't kill off Battlefield.

How is having less content fine? It would be one thing if this was going to be the first Battlefront to have it and then they scarped it. But it's completely something else when we had the ability to control them since the first game and now it's just one less thing we have content wise.

If it was this and a few other minor things not making it there wouldn't be much to get upset over but that isn't the case. This is just one more thing on top of other big ones that aren't making it in this game. People are already mad about having space battles and the clone wars not being including in this. When you have another form of content not being included that feeds to the fire no matter how small it is.

Well as LC taught me, even if a game doesn't support split screen on PC that doesn't mean it's not possible to do.

If you go by its steam page Borderlands doesn't support splitscreen yet there's dozens of guides online showing you how to do it

And I assume anyone split screening on PC would use 2 monitors or a monitor and their tv
