I remember the hype of the first game ... be careful guys lmao

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Nope, that got me super hyped as well. Still my favorite armor in trooper series.

Mine as well can't wait to play this game

 

[Boke1879]

I believe it when i see it, they gotta have some premium edition or so.

As far as the game, they have the deluxe edition.

If they really take note from games like Siege and even Overwatch. There are ways to make money rather than make people pay for maps and characters.

I'd say poses, emblems, banners etc are paid. Maybe even a version of loot boxes.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Nope, I want to see Rex, Cody or Fives as hero units too.

That sounds great

 

[CorporateClown]

I was one of those people who actually enjoyed the first so the fact that this one already looks so much better has me super hyped!

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

IF the SP is good and long enough I'll buy it but Dice and SP has not been a good mix so far soooo its a wait and see for me.

 

[Unit 33]

I remember the hype of the first game ... be careful guys lmao

Let the hype flow through you.

 

[SmackAttack]

Class base system being back is awesome. Just need confirmation of no stupid coin system for vehicles and seamless ground to space battles.

This is what I'm waiting to hear as well.

As am I. Take that whole coin pick up system out completely.

 

[Gunslinger]

Whack trailer. Tired of cg trailers.. it's a video game show gameplay...

 

[Noks415]

I'm really looking forward to the single player. I like the fact they introduce these cool looking special forces soldiers into canon, just how I like the death troopers in Rogue One. My only fear is them adding too many "new" elements into the pre TFA timeline.

 

[Boke1879]

...*looks back at character* Wait, that's her? Holy shit! She's in a video game!

Still remember her fine self from Arrow. Hate how she got written off that show.

 

[Pachimari]

It's not DICE. It's Motive.

 

[defusal]

Campaign I believe is written by the dude who wrote Spec Ops: The Line so i'm hopeful.

 

[Boke1879]

Whack trailer. Tired of cg trailers.. it's a video game show gameplay...

Trailer is actually pretty hype and well made.

But I can definitely understand someone getting tired of the CG stuff. Although I don't think the game is going to look drastically different. At least visually.

 

[Luq]

Amazing trailer. I'm really curious about mp modes though. And gameplay... Just show it to me already.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Oooo! I am all in for this campaign. This looks awesome.

 

[ScherzoPrime]

I wonder how vehicles will work. Will you spawn into them like Battlefield 1 or will they be on the map. I can't see them being pickups like the original.

 

[Boke1879]

Me and you both bro.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

wait what

 

[belushy]

Sounds amazing. Pls let me play as droids!!

 

[LaNaranja]

lol yep. Fool me once.

I'll be waiting for the "complete edition" coming 9 months later.

 

[Plasma]

It isn't CG that is in engine footage, go back and watch the original Battlefront reveal trailer which was the same.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLaoiNUhDeQ

That's how it actually looks maxed out on PC.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

I remember the hype of the first game ... be careful guys lmao

Eh, Dice is anyways pretty open about their games. Unless you're taking reveal hype. We knew exactly the number of modes, maps, and heroes. There was hours of footage. A beta. Anyone who got burned on that wasn't paying attention. Imo.

 

[BlizzKrut]

Campaign I believe is written by the dude who wrote Spec Ops: The Line so i'm hopeful.

I'm in if this is true.

Overall really nice trailer, loved it, I can't wait to see gameplay!

 

[Gravidee]

They better not be. One of the things that I loved to do in the original was sneak behind enemy lines and take over their vehicles to use against them.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I'm so fucking excited I'm going to explode.

 

[TDLink]

Criterion was mentioned in the credits too, wonder what they're doing?

They're doing the space combat/maps/vehicles

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Galactic Conquest with space battles?

Soooooooo fucking in!!!!!!

 

[Raide]

Sounds amazing. Pls let me play as droids!!

Well, there was a pic of one on the classes image.

 

[Unit 33]

Aaaah the peer pressure!

 

[defusal]

wait what

I'm in if this is true.

Overall really nice trailer, loved it, I can't wait to see gameplay!

Yeah being written by one of the writers of Spec Ops: The Line and Mitch Dyer who used to work at IGN.

 

[Nirolak]

Unless I missed something, it's written by ex-IGN writer Mitch Dyer.

Edit:

Oh, Walt Williams too. Haha, what a hilarious pairing.

 

[Herb Alpert]

that looks cool!

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

That's the second time today I double posted. Don't know if it's my end or the server, sorry.


Also SWBF is my top favorite gaming franchise and I'm so excited to see this game improve so much on the 2015 game.

I've seen a lot of double posting today.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

So if they have skins for Rey and Kylo I wonder if they will skin others

Obi-Wan -> Ben
Luke-> TFA Luke
Han-> TFA Han

etc

 

[Crimsonlink]

I feel bad for that one soldier aiming the blaster at Luke. Rip man

 

[Squire]

Mitch Dyer confirmed writer

Called it.

 

[acklame]

Ohh, space battles and single player. I'm interested.

 

[Gamezone]

Looks like there could be bots:

You will also cooperate against AI foes in skirmishes that span the cinematic eras, and engage enemies in entirely new modes.

Luke looked pissed. That soldier didn't make it lol

That's the ticket!

 

[Lettuce]

So what are the chances of getting Rogue Leader game mode??

 

[TheRed]

Very interesting and nice to hear no season pass for this. Wish they did that for Battlefield 1, love the game but feels like its dying due to the season pass.

 

[Hex]

I remember the hype of the first game ... be careful guys lmao

First game was amazing if you just wanted a fun shooter in the Star Wars universe

 

[Gamezone]

That's the ticket!

Yeah, but it could still be those crappy missions they gave us in the first game. I would wait for more information.

 

[Van Bur3n]

I'm utterly surprised at how much effort they've put into making this a real Battlefront experience of old. Even with all of what I was hearing, I was still cynical knowing there would be a premium DLC wall like in every DICE game, but it looks like they've gotten rid of that too. I'm only curious what is replacing it in how they will handle DLC and making money.

But again, this is starting to sound great. Classes, space battles, and motherfucking Clone Wars. Look at that battle droid. Lord please lemme play as a droideka again.

Still not pre-ordering though.

 

[Galactic Specter]

OH DAMN IT'S CANON
