Well lets not pretend that Battlefront 2 wasn't built from the engine, assets and exact gameplay framework of BF1. So much so it release 1 year after the first game, if by standards of the time that was a fast turnover.

Did the PS2 game really have 33 map? Or was that PC exclusive, my mind really can't remember that many maps in the game lol

To each their own of course, but I thought the acting from the two main characters was awful. I have litterally seen better acting in high school plays. Add to that Jar-Jar and i think that is where a lot of the hate comes from.  I did a quick searh and Jar-Jar was in every list I looked at when I looked up "most hated movie characters"  I don't think anyone is wearing a blind fold.  I wanted to love episodes 1-3 (saw all of them on their opening nights) but i just couldn't.

I grew up with the prequels. I love the prequels. I'm not hating on them when I don't complain that they're not included, and I'm sure as hell not celebrating a hypothetical lack of content in a game for which we've seen no gameplay. I'm just not going to jump right on some hate train because a game coming out specifically to pair up with a sequel series movie predominantly focuses on Luke and after, or because I can't drive the AT-AT in what's probably going to be a "defend the AT-AT" mode, or because uninformed speculation. 

DICE has little reason for me to doubt them. They botched BF4 hard when they were stretched out with finishing up BF3 support, working on MoH multiplayer, and working on five platforms for 4's launch. Battlefront is on three. I by no means excuse 4 for being broken, but this was two years ago, more than enough time to know their limits on the consoles and gimp the PC version accordingly (because EA). Moreover, EA has seemed to at least try to limit DICE since that. Considering they're going ground-up on this game, I was never expecting content-heavy (i.e. Battlefront 2 verbatim because anything else is trash by default) to begin with, because that's the kind of expectation that leads to disappointment and in this game's case unfounded rage. As I said before, if I get a decent-to-good Star Wars shooter that I can enjoy for a year, then I'm sold, because guess what? That's exactly what BF1 was. 

weird, becuase i didnt think the over complicated stuff at all, when i was younger i liked most movies, and now i still love them to death. Acting is not bad its just how it is. i mean i can tell apart from horrendous acting and good acting, but from good acting to great acting , not much difference, actors have just different styles of acting. I liked it. Jar jar binks. never cared for him. i thought he was just a fun character. Dont hate him or like him really xD can be annoying i guess but ehh. See i mean you can look at the movies way differently

That's why I sad to each their own.  Personally I thought the story was decent it was just the execution that let me down. For instance I know Portman is a better actress than what I saw in episodes 1-3. Also to be fair, these movies were highly anticipated by me and i expected greatness and felt I was met with mediocrity.  With JJ Abrams involvement with the next set I am trying to keep my personal levels of hype at a minimum. For me JJ is hit or miss.  I loved   Lost (one of my all time favorite TV series), thought the new Star Treks were so so, thought Fringe was so so.

I have acted professionally and let me tell you there is such a thing as bad acting.  There is also poor directing. I pointed out Portman earlier, I've seen her other work and I know she was capable of better, but that means nothing if the director has poor vision for your character since you have to try to deliver what the director wants.

Edit- Sorry all our conversation really deserves to be in movies and not in this thread.

How about you guys wait till the game releases before you start complaining?

the fact that the prequel films were garbage is irrelevant, i thought the Clone Wars was a very cool concept and universe (the conflict itself, not the animated series) and i'm really gonna miss being able to play CIS vs. Republic.

I won't believe those graphics until I see uncut release build gameplay that looks the same.
Right now it looks like 7 shades of bullshot, and yes, I've seen Battlefield 4 maxed out.

Best case scenario, that's the PC version. Consoles ain't doing that.

This is a reboot.... Of course things are missing. It's been built from the ground up...

Other reboots haven't really received hate like this for missing features of their predecessors... Well some have... But not many. Especially ones that are very hypocritical like the prequel shit being in there... Fuck the prequels is the usual stance amongst most of us, guess it's inconvenient now though.

The online view of gamers being a whiney self entitled group continues.

You'll grow out of them. Trust me, I certainly did.
