Off-topic pls...

Also it's 3-4 days old c'mon man.

EDIT: since it's EA I'm expecting it to be a pile of poop, as I'm sure many others are as well. Don't get your hopes up

6 years.
I have been waiting 6 years.

welcome to 3 days ago...

i'm more concerned about the living mountainload of games i have on my steam account that i haven't finished

'-'

sorry i put it in the wrong forum pls move.
also u dont get it because its been 7 years since swbf2 was released and weve been waiting.

bf2 was released in october of 2005.

ok 8 years sorry :x

I'm sorry you had to wait 8 years to watch EA sodomize and monetize every aspect of your game.

Take solace in knowing that I'll never get a metal arms sequel

why

My only wish is that Mirror's Edge 2 goes untainted :(

I saw the leaked footage of this some months ago. Not the BFIII build found on that Resident Evil game disc that promised seamless transition between land and space, but the newer one. There's a fucking trooper unlock/ability that's pretty much pyro airblast that brushes off thermal detonators and all types of grenades by poofing them back at the enemy team. Viewmodels are fucking gigantic. Nothing unique about the guns outside of a flamethrower (rip the Republic Arc Caster). XP for killing people and existing.

The worst part about this is that a lot of what SWBF enjoyable was the variations between each class. You could roam around as a Republic Engineer and a Jet Trooper duo, using a fully charged Arc cast to stun one guy and damage a group while the jet trooper scored the cleanup with the EMP launcher. Two SBDs for the CIS could do minor vehicle damage and take out turret emplacements because of how the wrist rockets worked. Wookie Smugglers could take a lot more damage than your standard Rebel Trooper and it made them ideal for leading charges. Dark Troopers were the ultimate in harassment and hit&run. And all of that is just going to be homogenized in favor of Call of Battlefield special knick-knack perks and unlocks.

I honestly feel bad for anyone playing this as their first Star Wars shooter. Yeah times change and all but for this, the original is going to be far superior to the "reboot".

are you talking about the leak that was on Kotaku in April?

the only leaked Battlefront footage i have seen was from Lucas Arts, not DICE...are you sure you are not talking about Star Wars: First Assault? I remember the rendered stuff Kotaku showed had huge viewmodels...

as far as i know, there is no leaked DICE footage for Battlefront

Yeah, I mixed up First Assault with this blunder. Regardless, the point still stands - this is going to eat shit hard.

same feeling for killer instinct reboot. was hype. now it's a f2p developed by a studio with bad rep. :(

milking money off nostalgia is the new craze i take it?

i'd rather there be a bad new battlefront than no new battlefront. at least there's a chance it won't be shit and worst case scenario i dont play it, exactly the same thing that would happen if they didn't make it at all

well, at least it is DICE that is making it (right?) as opposed to some other dev who has a long history of shit games...

Pretty much, capcom has made an entire business model out of taking their old franchises hostage.

The KI reboot is a damn shame because the console will probably never be tournament worthy and the inevitable dlc fest never bodes well for a fighting game. Hopefully the game itself isn't too shitty since filthierich is at least remotely associated but in the words of james jr., "$500 is a lot to spend on a game that you'll drop after two weeks."

No one has listed a developer for the game yet, but to humor the suggestion, let's list the games DICE has made since 2008:
Mirror's Edge
Battlefield Heroes
Battlefield 1943
Battlefield Bad Company 2 + Vietnam Expansion
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
Battlefield Online
Medal of Honor
Battlefield Play4Free
Battlefield 3 + multiple $50 DLC packs

Unique games since 2007: 1
Battlefield games that weren't bad: 1
1 racing game which by virtue of racing games is mediocre
Games hyped by media to be good but were absolute shit: 6

Contrary to popular belief, DICE hasn't had a good track record since 2007. However, any developer suited for the task has been dead for many years now.

I'd trust a shit game dev with Battlefront before I'd let some of these people anywhere near it. At least then we'd get something unique like the first two games were. Battlefront has never been a "perfect" game meant to sell millions. In fact, the first two were severely flawed, and yet incredibly charming and fun. They captured the feel of what a fun Star Wars shooter would be instead of going with the CoD reskin that we're going to get instead.

Was Battlefront the one where you could switch characters mid-battle by aiming at them and pressing a button?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no.

As long as the game allows for battlefield style maps with vehicles and shit I'll be happy.

I must have wasted thousands of hours playing SW:BF 1&2

I have literally waited half my life for this

That being said, I won't kill myself if its not as good as the previous ones

sounds like you don't have skin in the game

Gotta be committed doggie: if X is bad I'm losing both my legs.
