Now in fairness there are tons of good Star Wars games.

Battlefront
Battlefront 2
Dark Forces
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
Jedi Knight 2
X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter
Rogue Squadron
Republic Commando
Knights of the Old Republic
Knights of the Old Republic 2
Empire at War
The Force Unleashed
The Force Unleashed 2

Now those are just the really good ones that were critically/commerically well received. There are plenty other 'decent' ones that just weren't great, but all of the above were very good Star Wars games.

Jedi Knight 2 & X-Wing Alliance... probably my favourite two games of the last decade!

Wossack · 15-06-2015 11:17pm

presume its going the titanfall route of AI canon fodder - as no way that was just 20v20

Noxin · 15-06-2015 11:50pm

Loving that trailer. 100% buying it!

That trailer is "acted out". It's not a proper gameplay trailer imo.

As in, if you stick full teams of randomers against each other, the gameplay will be very different.
Also it's console. Turning always seems slow on consoles compared to the quick whip of a mouse turn.

This looks amazing. The sound effects are going to be spectacular, Specially that grenade with the whomp kinda sound.

Dcully · 19-06-2015 10:22am

Haven't played hardline but 4 has been impeoved a lot.

Hardline had a perfect launch on all platforms bar one Xbox One DDoS attack for lolz etc.

I'm personally most excited for split screen co-op missions if only to share the experience with my brother. It looks so authentically Star Wars and looks like it plays just as a Battlefield game.

Alpha preload is open.

The Red · 03-07-2015 9:27am

Played a bit of it last night and I have to say Im quite impressed.. the sound.. dear god the sound is amazing..

Fun gameplay, amazing visuals of course, nice set of gadgets and battle pickups..

Long ttk tho. and couldnt fly ANYTHING to save my life..

Not a Battlefield beater by any stretch but then its a totally different type of fps.

I keep crashing at the start most of the time :mad:
I managed to play for about 5 mins in windowed mode but my old lamps make it to hard to see on such a small window. :P
It was fun albeit brief though.

The Red · 03-07-2015 5:16pm

Hmmm, I havent crashed once... I see on the forums there is a lot of crashing issues.

Just luck of the draw i think,hopefully there will be a fix before the alpha is finished.

Its quite good, dont like the speed to the recharge you can get someone to 1 health and hes back to 100 fairly quickly.

Only issue really is add more damage to the weapons.

Was curious if they would release a premium version for this but according to their community update yesterday they won't.
Standard and Deluxe only. Not even a collectors edition.

Seems odd, could add an extra 100 to price and just have an early realese of some episode 7 toy in it.

For a second I thought it was a weird glitch where an online player rag dolled.

Not an out and out Star Wars fan in the normal sense(watched the films a few times but not counting the days to 7 or the like) but my god I'm hyped for this game.... More than FIFA and football games were always my thing.

I guess that's as much to do with Dice than Star Wars.... Have pumped over 700 hours into BF4 and that's as a lone wolf.
If this can replicate all that's good about BF4 and add some more, this should be my game of the year.. Even above Fallout, and id class 3 as my favourite game of all time.

Wizard! · 03-09-2015 4:46pm

It was on my wish list, but now it is a "maybe". With all those silly changes they did to BF4, I do not trust them anymore.
They have no clue how the game is going to be, and they constantly make changes according to random input from players.
If SWBW is like that, I might as well go play CoD...

Noxin · 04-09-2015 8:55am

Only one way to find out. For now that's beta. I've not pre-ordered anything yet so next month will decide for me

Need something new. BF4 is dying for me. BLOPs3 beta didn't do it for me. Dirty bomb is ok but I tend to only play a few games and log off again.
Still play planetside 2 a bit though.

Want something shiny :P

http://www.pcgamer.com/ea-details-star-war-battlefronts-drop-zone-mode/

Drop Zone is similar to a King of the Hill mode, in which teams do battle to capture a control point and then defend it from their enemies.
But the control points in Drop Zone are pods that fall from the sky, and the trick is that teams won't know where they'll be until they land.
EA said the mode "is all about action and quick thinking":
Pods must be defended, but teams who stick to them too tightly risk getting hammered by an Orbital Strike.

Victory will go to whichever team captures five pods, or controls the most when the ten-minute time limit is up.
The process of claiming them is brief, but if neither team is able to hold one long enough to get the job done, another pod will drop, giving them something else to fight over (and presumably breaking the stalemate).
Once captured, pods will open up to provide "Power Pickups" to the team that claimed them, but again, there's an element of risk: While you're waiting around for one to open, other pods, possibly containing better stuff, will still be dropping.

Dcully · 05-10-2015 7:50pm

Quite a lot of new gameplay videos surfacing tonight from some get together of youtubers in sweden with dice i believe.
I must say it all looks very underwhelming, game looks to have serious lack of depth and looks far too arcadey for my liking.
I enjoy me some cod every now and then so im not adverse to some arcade shooting, more than anything though im not liking the 3rd person view in a game such as this.
Keen to play the beta before forming a proper opinion.

Wizard! · 06-10-2015 9:31am

Exactly my thoughts.

Noxin · 06-10-2015 2:08pm

Seriously can't make up my mind with what I've seen either. Some looks good, some looks awful.
Bring on the beta so.
