They know how to make a good trailer. I think that it is awesome that we’re playing as an Imperial for the campaign, but this is not enough to make me pre-order the game or purchase on the release day - nothing is. I’ll be very careful this time. Hopefully they learned from the mistakes made with their first Battlefront game.
Amazing trailer. But like you said still aint pre-ordering it lol
Kinda excited to see where it goes though. A game that takes place in all eras cant be content lacking I hope? We will see…
As for playing as imperials, that sounds just like the original Battlefront games . Hopefully the campaign will be a decent length.
Whats worrying me is the only footage of the prequel era is of Yoda and Darth maul. Other than that we see nothing in the trailer.
It says “Across all eras” then we see the new movie era, and the galactic civil war era. No clone wars to be seen…
Looking forward to seeing gameplay at EA Play in june. Playing the Empire in the campaign could be interesting. I was glad to hear that EA Motive is doing the campaign. It might be a new studio but I have a lot of confidence in the head of the studio, Jade Raymond. She was in charge of creating some of my favorite Splinter Cell games before leaving Ubisoft for EA so I’m curious to see what her new team can do.
Yesterday I talked with someone that visited EA Motive and Bioware Montréal this week and he got the chance to try a portion of the Battlefront II single player campaign. I didn’t ask too many questions because I knew he was under NDA but from what he told me he enjoyed it a lot. I really want to get invited to one of these events one day,
Sledgehammer70 replied directing to users in the clone wars only thread/forum regarding battlefront with a thank for the feedback and that Dice has taken it on board (such as heroes and villians from the clone wars and how they would work etc)
Think they could be holding it back for a another trailer has this one is centered around the campaign, original trilogy and new era (whatever the hell we call it; Disney Star Wars era?)
My advice is to wait and keep tabs on it till launch. You can always get it after launch. Could be a flunk or game of the year. Can’t really tell from a game engine trailer shrug
I do find the hate for it already hilarious. In the words of the Emperor; “Good. Let the hate flow through you”
This is catching my attention this time around, but not enough to want to pre-order. As many have said here, I’d hope DICE learns from their mistakes.
If there is one thing I like most about this trailer, it’s that the campaign mode is included this time. Also, since the game is spread out through different eras, does that mean we get something like the BF1 campaign where we get different stories to play through?
I’m happy with their decision to move away from pickups. Heroes and vehicles are resource based in Battlefront II. You earn ‘‘points’’ by performing certain actions and then you can spend those to spawn what you want.
Seeing pickup campers going 60-0 in the AT-AT might be a thing of the past and I couldn’t be happier. You want a vehicle or a hero? Put your boots on the ground and earn it!
I’m guessing that the vehicles and heroes will have different costs depending on what you choose. This could bring a bit of strategy to the game… What’s best for my team? Do I spawn a vehicle now or do I wait until I have more points to spawn a hero?
They said that they want more heroes on the battlefield at once but they’ll make them more vulnerable to normal infantry. I think that’s a smart decision because heroes are awesome but getting killed by the same bullet sponge multiple times in a row wasn’t really fun in the previous game.
