    This. After Battlefield 4 they need to make sure it works at launch. I don't mind waiting for a game that works properly. I still want to see gameplay though!

    My bet is they're keeping it for Celebration in April so we get an onslaught of Star Wars info all at once. I've waited so long for this... and they're making me wait even longer.

    It's never happening, I've come to terms with it. It's been longer since Battlefront 2 than Half Life 2: Episode 2 though

    If you do, then we would have a great game upcoming!

    Yes indeed. Battlefront has a huge following and so much potential. If they mess it up, then it will be very very disappointing to Star Wars fans. The second game, whilst it had some cool quirks, almost killed the franchise since we didn't have a sequel till this long and that too owing to the new sequel films being produced.

    They must get this right by listening to the advice on this forum!

    TOTALLY AGREED. I wish someone here knew someone at DICE and submitted this thread to them. If they included even half the improvements listed, then you would have not only an EPIC game, but the best game of all time. What you need is BF1 with new graphics and extra features. BF2 was a different game, it didn't flow from the original spirit of the first.

    Precisely. You could have an epic ongoing battle where at the choke point, endless clones or droids kept coming at you across the bridge at Kamino or Bespin. The gunships on Geonosis were so awesome. And Orbital strikes were so funny. It felt like a battle. And it felt more real. There was that fear of dread when your troop count was low, and suddenly a Jedi/Sith was running down the bridge at you. In BF2, they messed the feel of it up.

    The Jedi need to be more playable like in the ROTS videogame. We need a BF1 with new graphics and additional features.

    Please let this be good and please have clone wars in there too. Otherwise, this forum will have to make BF4.

    What did I miss? Is the game being pushed back, or the gameplay reveal?

    EA showed some gameplay at GDC but it was behind closed doors - I expect some gameplay will be shown publically soon.

    As for the release date, I expect it's still on course for a December release date but it's fair to say DICE have history releasing games that aren't ready. The consensus is we'd all prefer waiting a bit longer for a working game than DICE rushing it out alongside The Force Awakens.

    They did have some good aspects, but I don't remember a block function in those ones. The force unleashed also seemed to require you to stop to push objects, although it had finer controls using the force.

    Either way, why did they not put in those features in BF2? Whilst the Jedi in BF1 were unrealistically invincible, the Jedi in BF2 were really really poor.

    Also the gameplay seemed much better in BF1 and the maps more reflective of the actual films (except maybe Kashykk, although they should have kept the old maps as additional ones).

    Well, since the Jedi had invincibility to simple gunfire to hail fire droid missiles, when the unit cap dropped down somewhere below 45, the Jedi would simply fall over dead. Now I can see the invincibility being a little ridiculous, but because of this, it'd give you a rush of trying to defeat as many enemies as quickly as possible. Or that's what I believe anyway.

    I agree that the gameplay in BFI was reflecting on the movies a lot better than BFII, but the Kashyyyk maps on BFI were better IMO. It would've been a nice touch to keep the old maps, or a least a few, as well as having the new maps that introduced a different look at Battlefront.

    Kasyyyhk with the Bf1 layout and the Bf2 environmental aesthetic is what we need.

    I COMPLETELY AGREE!!

    I think the invincibility of the Jedi in BF1 was way more fun. The fear of dread when the Jedi turned up in the centre of the village on Kashykk or down the corridor in Bespin gave you an incentive to fight and heightened the thrill of the game. I do hope that if they bring Jedi in, they are more like those in BF1. The gameplay was far superior.

    It would have also be better to have the increased unit cap, as that actually felt like an epic Star Wars battle. The new game felt completely different and there were not enough troops on the map at the same time.

    Agree with Kashykk. You needed the old map with an enhanced background. The old maps were a lot of fun and had aerial vehicles like gunships. I don't have a problem with new maps, but keep the old ones as well. BF1 Kashykk and Geonosis were more true to the films.

    YES. AGREED. Someone needs to tell this to DICE. BF1 gameplay and layout with BF2 environmental background. Same with Geonosis on BF1 - it was better.

    The first game just felt more like the films. It seems like they tried too hard in BF2 and ended up ruining a great game. I mean even the accent of the troopers in BF2 is odd - it doesn't sound like a clone or a stormtrooper.

    BF1 felt more like Star Wars. And the Jedi were a real threat. In BF2, you can't actually command troops as a Jedi. What's the point of that?! This is Battlefront!!

    Just launch a SBD missile at Windu and blast him off the walkway. Instant kill. BF1 Jedi were better but prefer the Destroyer Droid from BF2. Playing BF1 as the Republic was such a pain in the neck when facing the Destroyer Droid imo.

    Have BF1 and 2 levels!

    I loved both. I thought it was hilarious landing a gunship on Dooku. Also droidekas in the ice caves on rhen var were intense.

    That works too. Rhen Var was awesome. Why weren't they in the 2nd game?

    Who knows. If it were my decision, I would've kept some of the most popular maps in BFI and add them onto BFII.

    Edit:
    Throw every grenade, and launch every rocket you have! :p

    I use to land snowspeeders on the walkers and after the walkers moved away the speeder would float in the air.

    I really hope, main characters don't have a time limit and there is more to choose from. I also hope for more lightsaber combos and force attacks.

    Please have lots of planets and bigger maps and able to customize weapons.

    I'd love it if AU cut scenes, if a battle outcome is different than the movies.

    I hope they add the Executor to space battles.
    Have Imperial Palace and others parts of Coruscant.
    A bigger Theed map.
    Alderaan added.
    Mandalore added please. (I'd like Duchess Satine playable lol pacifist in battle game)
    Padme as a playable character
    Fractions able to split and attack each other
    able to board ships and go to the bridge
    admiral ozzel playable...
    add Serenno

    Its fun things like this in Battlefield which has me really excited what DICE has in store for Battlefront. Hardline is being dev'd by Visceral, but it's the same engine based around a similar target gameplay experience.
