playable locations on the icy planet Hoth

Does this mean multiple maps based off the Battle of Hoth? Previous Battlefront games have condensed it all into a single map, so i'm interested to see the meaning of this statement. Thoughts?

I'd hardly call this news. We've known Hoth and Endor will be playable maps since the 2014 trailer. Hell, the teaser basically revealed Hoth as a playable map back in 2013.

Hoth is basically a given.

CyberGama · January 29, 2015, 06:46:58 PM

Why is this even news, we already know that both Endor and Hoth will be both playable in Battlefront.

God help the fans (and DICE) if it launches with the same clusterfucky problems as BF4.
If it's running on frostbite 3, not even god will save them from the cripplingly bad netcode ._.

If EA and DICE fuck this one, then Star Wars games are dead, lets just hope that Episode 7 is good.

It's directed by J.J. Abrams, so I doubt it. He's the M. Night Shyamalan for Sci-Fi.

DICE is going to need more than Hoth and Endor if they are to dig themselves out of this mess.

Luis · January 29, 2015, 09:05:44 PM

Hoth and Endor are a given

Though it's EA so it'll probably be released unfinished anyways

Stahp, I'm already worried that the leads are going to be shit token characters due to the fact that Abrams has said he's doing diversity for diversities sake.

Here I was hoping it was going to be something I didn't already know.

"The lando system?"
"No, Lando's a black guy. In fact, I think he might be the only black guy in the galaxy!"

I'm not sure what you mean by this. The last time I was concerned about tokenism I was called racist for wanting minorities to be playing actual roles in film instead of cardboard cut outs meant to fill a quota.

I just wanted to say the quote, I like it. But yeah, I know what you mean, I'm glad they didn't add in the Tolkein black guy to the Hobbit.

I'll stop now.

It's going to be shit. Just like Battlefield it's going to launch with very few maps and the rest of the maps are going to be sold as DLC.

Sprungli · January 30, 2015, 05:17:08 PM

I love how none of you can fucking read. The news wasn't Hoth you idiots, it was that they have multiple Hoth maps rather than the traditional one Hoth map of old

I think you might be reading too much into it. This is Gamespot, after all.

Although I'd be pleasantly surprised if there were multiple Hoth maps.

Only Battlefront Premium members can play as Jedi on the battlefield.

Any hope I've had of J.J. being a good director died when he remade Star Trek.

It's a quote from the guy they are interviewing rather than Gamespot, the interview is the same on IGN too.

Hoth battles were always broken lol

The IGN quote was:

Quote

Hoth, where the Rebel Alliance fought off invading AT-ATs in snowy plains, will differ in size than the dense woodland of Endor.

Gamespot paraphrased it differently. I would like to see the actual transcript of the interview, but I would be surprised if there turned out to be more than one Hoth map.
