Well we were expecting it, really...

I'm not surprised.

I'm going to TRY and remain hopeful

big sponge · June 18, 2015, 12:40:25 PM

You mean it plays like Battlefront 1 and 2?

Forgewolf · June 18, 2015, 12:51:16 PM

What I saw actually impressed me because I was expecting worse from EA

Statefarm · June 18, 2015, 12:57:54 PM

It looked like a straight battlefield skin.

I was disappointed. But slightly less disappointed then the previous news on the game. It could shape up but knowing EA and the amount of time they have? Nope.

this is killing me

Yeah that Hoth level made no sense. It's supposed to be a flat expanse, not a linear path through some cliffs.

Incan · June 18, 2015, 01:17:41 PM

I hear it's a great battlefield mod on the ground, but the air combat is fucking awful.

Comet · June 18, 2015, 01:21:02 PM

flight ceiling looked low.

R o c k e t · June 18, 2015, 01:21:44 PM

It LOOKS a lot like Battlefield, but the gunplay is pretty different.
Not to mention 3rd person and such.

RadicalClass32 · June 18, 2015, 02:03:34 PM

I wonder what my cousin will think after this....

Jono · June 18, 2015, 03:46:42 PM

The more I hear about Battlefront, the more I want to stay away from it.

Honestly I think it looks fun.

What the fuck is this may bullshit

this has been completely apparent since shortly after EA started releasing information

did you need to be given this opinion from some shitty article from an SJW website to figure that out?

This.
Whether confirmed or not, nearly all the news about the game has been negative, if you're comparing it to the game it is supposed to be successing.

Shhh. You're setting up a loophole.

"As a standalone Star Wars game it's fine."

"As a successor to the series it's named after, it isn't."

Since when was it a possibility that this game may be shit? We knew it was going to be awhile ago.

Elai · June 18, 2015, 05:05:47 PM

It's like you guys think this is a bad thing...

Battlefront 1 and 2 are very similar to Battlefield. This just seems like the most natural progression of the franchise (well, the most natural progression the franchise could take while under EA's mighty thumb.) It looks fun, and it's Star Wars. Obviously, I'm not pre-ordering shit, and I'll probably buy it used, but it still looks like a blast.

I always expected this shit to get EA-ified. Ever since they confirmed no Clone Wars or Galactic Conquest. Angry Joe was right on the money, as per usual.

Turkey · June 18, 2015, 05:13:44 PM

I don't give a shit. If it's a good game, it's a good game. We weren't going to get BF2 with new graphics, and anyone that was expecting anything even close to that is delusional. There's no point being pissy about what might have been, and so far BF looks like a solid game. The reviewer's claim that it's just a reskinned Battlefield is ridiculous. People are making such a big deal about the walker being on rails, but who gives a shit? It's not like it was particularly mobile in the previous games, and driving it was basically a waste of time because it was so slow and the match would be over well before it could reach anything.

Big Boss · June 18, 2015, 05:54:47 PM

I really hope its fun, I'm going to buy and play the shit out of it regardless

I'm running out of star wars reference jokes about this mess of a game

me too, but I'd rather have another Battlefront game, not Battlefield: Star Wars

Gatortag · June 18, 2015, 09:27:51 PM

Honestly, I never really played BF. But this looks fun. I don't see why there's the hate. No space battles sucks. But they didn't look very fun from the videos I've seen. I also don't see why people say this is Battlefield with a Star Wars skin. The gunplay looks quite different. No ADS even. I will wait for reviews. But, if it ships with enough modes and maps, and works, it should be a good game. Looking at the reviews for the old ones. They scored 7s and 8s. Seems to me people are blinded by nostalgia and EA hate. But what do I know, I never played the old ones.

all they had to do was basically reskin Battlefront 2 and everyone would have been happy

why is that so hard?

Battlefront 2 was basically a half ass mod of Battlefield 2 that was slapped together and sold for $50. Same with Battlefront 1.

Why people are upset that Battlefront is yet again a Battlefield ripoff is beyond me. The first two Battlefield ripoffs were fun and this one looks fun too.
