DICE guys are better at editing trailers than making games.
I was breezing through it but it was so bad and boring i just quit near the end lol, one of the worst cod campaigns yet, atleast the multiplayer is legitI dare you to blow through Black Ops 3 in 4 hours.Really bad and really long campaign.
So is this going to be the battlefield and Star Wars mashup that I wished the first one was? Basically a Battlefield game using Star Wars?
http://uk.ign.com/articles/2017/04/...ayer-preview-bigger-better-and-more-emotionalEach class will come with a shared progression system, but will change appearance depending on what map and side you're playing on - for instance, the prequels' Battle Droids and First Order troopers look very different, but are the same class with your chosen upgrades.
Did they reveal campaign length? All I need is a decent 10h star wars campaign and I will be there day 1
COD games are only around 8 hours on harder difficulty.
I really don't have a problem with this. It's multiplayer, not canon. Would just be too limiting to create what would essentially be three mini-games within one game. Share maps and weapons as long as we don't have Clones vs. Stormtroopers or something like that.Yes, on paper the game seems boiled down to Good Guys vs Bad Guys, with a pool of heroes, equipment, vehicles, and gear distributed between each. Presentation of each side will be dependant on the map/era you play on, so I wouldn't expect a ton of different factions, just one Good/Evil per era.
It sounds similar to Battlefield 1, to be honest, where the assortment of gear, weapons, and vehicles is identical between empires and upgrades are shared between them all.
I think the droid faction will have unique classes like the old games. Droidekas, infantry and those heavy ones.Yes, on paper the game seems boiled down to Good Guys vs Bad Guys, with a pool of heroes, equipment, vehicles, and gear distributed between each.

What they say about the class system seems a bit worrying. Unless i've misread something they've said the classes between each era are basically identical other than appearance, even though they should all have different weapons and equipment.
If they're shared that also suggests you'll have equipment in eras they just don't belong in.

Wait killstreaks? When was this announced?It looks like a few steps taken towards Battlefield (classes) with some CoD thrown in (killstreak rewards). Maybe next time, ey?
In all seriousness it's hard to say which it will lean towards more. Classes do signal a greater focus on teamplay. "Killstreaks" could too if the currency gained is for playing the objective rather than personal ego-stroking things like kills. We'll have to see. But it sure feels like a compromise still.
I don't understand why they can't just do Battlefield like the originals did. All they have to do is clone their own franchise. When have CoD elements ever improved a series that was popular without them? Halo anyone?
Photos are nice but in gameplay graphics arent nice as these
While i understand pc isnt naturally a couch co op system, its still baffling that they wouldn't include it when the entire code exists on other versions and has 0 cost implications.
Ahh, that sounds okay. Lots more explosions this way!
no switch version....
Keep telling yourself that you buy a Nintendo system for Nintendo games. It makes the pain a little easier.
any mention of galactic conquest ?
Whack trailer. Tired of cg trailers.. it's a video game show gameplay...
People buy them for other reasons?
Wait killstreaks? When was this announced?
Vehicles, heroes and "something else" will be "resource based". That's all we know for now.
Well, it has classes now at least.I still doubt it will be a great game. First one was mediocre due to baffling gameplay design choices. I expect this one to still be extremely casual and mediocre but at least it will have a campaign. Hopefully the campaign makes it all worthwhile. I'm a sucker for Star Wars so they have my money either way but DICE needs to stop screwing around and make a BF clone with a Star Wars skin like we were all expecting the first one to be.
I think he's saying people initially buy Nintendo systems saying they're only doing it for the Nintendo exclusives... but then they get upset when they hear there's no switch version of some 3rd party game.. so go back and sort of RE-tell yourself why you bought the Switch in the first place.. lol
Whens the last time they made a bad game? Atleast the main A team.DICE guys are better at editing trailers than making games.

I guess that's something. Maybe the MP will hold my attention a little longer than the first one did.Well, it has classes now at least.
So I heard that the writer from Spec Ops is writing the campaign? While that'd be super cool, I feel like because this is such a mainstream game, and such a mainstream brand. They won't be able to capitalize on what made Spec Ops great.
Like, I bet Disney has something like "You can't put The Empire in any sort of positive light." So that Special Forces Commander will realize the error of her ways half way through the story or something and start fighting for the Rebels.
I want her to be evil throughout the entire thing.
I wish, it's probably never coming back. Too much work.
Yeah that's what I was saying.
Trying not to sound like a dick about it, but after 3 or 4 generations spanning 20-25 years, you'd think people would get it by now. If you buy a Nintendo system, you aren't going to get Call of Duty, Battlefront, GTA, or any of the big AAA western blockbusters. If you do manage to get one of these occasionally, it's going to be some gimped up, half-ass, cashing in on the name version.
Yeah it has 4 classes now!I guess that's something. Maybe the MP will hold my attention a little longer than the first one did.
👍🏽 So much this!I have a similar perspective on it. I'm sure that what they'll do will be an improvement over the first game, but that probably won't be enough. They're adding classes, Space Battles and all eras...but are those really going to be done in a way that'll be an improvement over the Original Battlefront 2, or what Battlefront 3 was going to be?
If Space Battles don't even have boarding and there's no space to ground gameplay, if there's no vehicle spawning system, no other species like Gungans, Jawas etc, no custom battles or galactic conquest...then it still isn't as good as the originals or what Battlefront 3 was going to be. It's a step in the right direction, but that doesn't mean it'll be any more than half the original gamaplay-wise but with pretty graphics...if it can't match up to the original games from other a decade ago, then to me it's fairly pointless in the first place.
They've obviously learned from their mistakes with the first game, but they were mistakes that shouldn't have been made at all and there's still nothing to suggest this'll be a proper Battlefront game.

The GameCube didn't get the original Battlefronts either.GC had third party support. Wtf are we talking about?
It's really just been lately, and "20-25 years" would stretch back to the SNES era. Maybe calm down on the hyperbole, guy.
Except the story is one of "redemption," so I wouldn't be surprised if she sees the error if her ways at some point.I wouldn't worry about that. The game is set between the 30 years after the Death Star 2 explodes, in the panel they talk about showing Major Empire core worlds and the Main character is galvanized by the end of the war. Were most likely going to see her become apart of the First Order.

I don't think it is fair or reasonable to expect for DICE's Battlefront games to replicate every feature of the originals. Not every iteration of a franchise has to do every single thing that the predecessors did.
2015's core gunplay was a natural evolution of the original series.No one is saying they have to replicate every single feature exactly how it was, but if they're removing content or changing the overall goal of the games, there needs to be something substantial to replace that beyond just pretty graphics. The problem with Battlefront 2015 was that it was a huge change from the original in a way that didn't actually make improvements, it was just worse overall in terms of content.
