I most certainly have. However, seeing as how big of a let down the first one was (for me), I'm not sure if I want this one or not.

I was surprised to see so many people on other sites have that same opinion. The first game was definitely missing a ton of features that I would've wanted (I can't complain because I bought the game when it was $20), but this new one seems to have most of everything anyone would want.

 Hopefully they'll do a full trailer for SWC, either that or just the teaser trailer, and discuss the features. I can't say I'd pre-order it or even buy it at launch, but I'm definitely in for the clone wars era

There was just a lot about the gameplay that I don't enjoy. Especially now that they underpowered the Heroes. Playing with Heroes, and doing the air battles is what I loved most, but they have changed them both so much now.

I agree. Heroes in multiplayer die so easily. Playing heroes on bot mode is great though, probably my favorite thing to do (sprint around as Luke and baseball bat stormtroopers with that beautiful green saber (the singular reason I bought my Archon!)). The air battles were so repetitive but the sounds are great.

I'm hoping this time around it's more complex. DICE tried to make it not like Battlefield, even though Battlefront was inspired by Battlefield. We need bases with ships, and ammo! Well, I didn't mind the overheating. Never needed ammo. But classes would be much better, even though customization overtook the class system in all games.

Did you ever play any of the original Battlefront games? Because Battlefront 2 was always my favorite. As you got kills, your character would get perks, and eventually after enough kills, you could become different classes of guys, and even Jedi or Sith. It was none of the "oh look, there's a token floating there for me to become a hero with" thing. It actually took some skill to get them. That is how I was hoping Battlefront would be, but they didn't do that. What made that game so great was the graphics and the sound. They are top notch.

I agree with you Teagin, Battlefront II is also my favorite.   Grin 
Love that game and still play it from time to time.

That is how I was hoping Battlefront would be, but they didn't do that. What made that game so great was the graphics and the sound. They are top notch.

I absolutely did play them. I remember getting Battlefront 2 for Christmas, when it came out I believe. I played it so often that I had the award side arm pistol as the default (getting the awards so many times eventually gave them to you as your default). I never played battlefront 1 until I did so with my friend who grew up more with than one than the second one. I have Battlefront 2 on my laptop and keychain USB stick, and about 13 GB of mods and maps   Grin for a good stretch of time last year I played it almost every day.

They were both more complex and skill based it seems. Especially on your point about gaining points to achieve heroes rather than tokens. It's a lot more rewarding that way, and it goes the same way with the award weapons. The tri burst clone rifle was exciting to unlock and use.

I would personally have the set weapons class system over one default class that has access to all the weapons. I don't think people/DICE realize how much more immersive it is to be given a set of specific tools than to choose what you want. That applies to battlefield and battlefront, it makes you feel much more like a solider when you can only choose certain kits. Nowadays it's all about a wide range of guns...it's less immersive that I can play as a stormtrooper with a CA-87 shock blaster rather than having just an E-11 as a stormtrooper, or a rifle as a scout, etc.

Graphics and sound are a big part for me. Specifically the cinematic aspects of gameplay. DICE is always great with sound (their sound design has been amazing since 2008), as well as with their graphics from 2008 too (see: Bad Company 1).

I feel especially close to their sound, considering I have a 30 GB file library containing every individual audio clip from Battlefront. Lol. It's heaven for making soundfonts, or if I were to make a fan film.

If they'd just add a singleplayer campaign mode, I think more people would like it.

My favorite game play mode in the first one is Survival.  I love that.  But, it's limited to a few maps.  Sad  Fortunately, I didn't actually pay for my copy, though.  It came bundled with my PS4.

Yes. That would help a ton.

So did mine. I do really enjoy the Survival mode as well.

I already have a copy of Battlefront 2. I play it all the time on my old Xbox haha.

I'm glad so many other Star Wars fans are in agreement about the low quality of bEAttlefront. It's really sad that over 10 years later they still couldnt handle the same features and gameplay and complexity that made Battlefront 2 such a hit. I think they honestly would have done better just prettying up Battlefront 2, adding more video content, maybe an original trilogy campaign mode, and some pretty movie scenes.

I just watched the official trailer for this game, and it looks TOTALLY WICKED!!! It also has a campaign, and that campaign is in the official Star Wars Canon.

I agree, it looks great. I love campaigns.

Finally we'll be able to get some cinematic story coverage concerning post ROTJ. And I can't wait to see the battle of jakku. I would love to see that in a rogue one sequel film (rogue squadron). Maybe even that could have battlefront's main character as one of the bad guys. But I'm getting ahead of myself  Grin

Did you notice the red figure had a hologram of the emperor's face?
