"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.

Rhen Var, Tatooine, Yavin, Bespin, Naboo, and Kashyyk all had two maps.

That's right, my bad. So, at most, we can expect 8 maps; at worst, 4. That's better odds than it was before, but I don't think it helps fight the backlash I'm seeing as much as some would hope.

It's not as if Battlefront has ever had a proper campaign anyways. Does no-one remember BF2? Seriously? The co-op missions will more than make up for it.

The BF2 campaign was a series of missions with "objectives" you had to complete, interspersed with cutscenes.

Also Galactic Conquest, which is without a doubt the game mode that I played the most on BF2. Made it to General against Elite AI years ago. Fun as hell.

I'm pretty sure each planet will have multiple maps. Even the free DLC that comes in December has 2 maps set on Bakku.

Galactic conquest was the shit alright, i'm actually miffed it won't be included. Although, this game is serving as Battlefront's re-introduction to the world, I wouldn't be shocked if BF2 (not the original BF2) got it.

I made it to general too. I was between 5-9 years old. Aaand that's probably why I hang out on a splinter forum based off a dead gaming forum filled with weirdos instead of interacting with society.

"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.

Hey guys, guess what? Vehciles are powerups! You wanna know what else is great? There's kill streaks to call down airstrikes!
My hopes and dreams are basically alderaan at this point.

You guys are acting like there weren't killstreaks in Battlefront already.

ITT: overreactions and hysteria.

There are four planets, but more than four maps. Would I like more planets at launch? Absolutely. In December everyone gets the Jakku maps (2 maps, 1 planet) for free. Will there be paid dlc? Yeah, but I'm not going to let that ruin the game for me.

Space. Am I disappointed it's not in the game? Yes, but I'd still be satisfied with great planetary battles with TIE Fighters and X-Wkngs fighting in-atmosphere.

Heroes and Villains. Yes.

3rd person.

Split screen.

And the Battlefront games never had anything resembling a true campaign anyway. It was missions simply set in the multiplayer maps.

Never cared about the prequels anyway.

Yeah good thing I always play Empire. But playing as infantry was my favorite part of Battlefront, you actually felt like a trooper in the army with a squad (some times) and you were pretty much expendable yet badass. Playing as a Hero just felt off to me.

I definitely agree, but I don't think that playing as a hero will be so common and constant as to disrupt that feeling to a significant extent.

If I get the opportunity I'll most likely pass the option to a teammate, I'm more suited to squad grunt stuff :p

More than eight maps.

Guessing no more than twelve at launch. Not ideal, but everyone panicking about 4 maps and ranting about Battlefront being ruined forever.

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.

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.
