I'm gonna be honest, before the reveal I was hped as BF fan, after the reveal not so much.

The whole 12 maps thing just doesn't sound much for someone like me who's come to expect great things from a popular franchise as Star Wars and a well recieved IP of Battlefront, i'm not screaming bloody murder but I do miss the fact that I won't be able to pilot an AT-AT like we could in 2 or the fact we won't get some epic looking space battles  around the Deathstar and within it's trenches, the lack of AI on all maps like the previous games and being restircted to a few leaves a lot to be desired for me, especially with the smaller player count when I;m used to BF2/ most modern shooter player counts.

I just can't feel any excitement for this like I had before they showed us the game and told us what to expect, I know your first answer is likely to tell me to temper my expectations but then why should I have any in the first place if they have to be in line with yours to become the norm or acceptable?, I mean what I expected was acheived almost a decade ago on much older hardware and I feel today we'll just flat out never advance if we have no choice but to pull this move with all franchises because a dev team isn't prepared and had years to prepare, I just don't feel that's a valid excuse as some like to believe, if you think it's rightfully valid then by all means lets do this with every single franchise, cut out loads from the previous and give us barebones while hinting at the promise that in another 4 years or more the enxt installment will have what the game ebfore last had and slightly more and then act as if we're totally satisifed.

All I wanted was BF2 but with a new coat of modern paint and I would have totally been fine with forking over £35 no problem, but because the last few EA games have involved battlebacks with £30-40 DLC lobbed on top I can't expect to pay for the already abrebones game and expect it to be decent if they are already going to pull a season pass like they usually do, I really don't mind EA's Origin service and what they provide but they hardly price down gamea as much and even then they've been caught out with bad practices and shoving things in games they don't need to, it's just part of their given track record of what to expect.

The landscape of gaming is much different now than it was when BFII hit. That's the key point that most people ignore. I'd love to pilot an AT-AT too, but console gamers are dicks. You can't pilot a jet in BF on consoles most of the time because it probably has C4 on it, or somebody is camping it, or you'll get team killed if it's Hardcore mode. "It's my jet, I deserve it because I'm better." 

Moreover, I'm glad the AT-AT is even in the game, they found what should be a good way of implementing it without giving a player the chance to screw over his whole team by being stupid. Space battles will be back eventually, I'm sure (I really hope they wait until the sequel rather than DLC it though), but right away I can see a dozen problems with that. 

Asking for BFII but pretty is asking for a game that doesn't work when modern gamers are accounted for. The only thing I genuinely question is, as you noted, the lack of bots. The bots would've made the scale feel larger, and Titanfall did that just fine. But you know what, I'll accept a lack of bots for the addition of split screen, something I've dearly missed since pretty much the PS2 days.

Even then, if the game is designed around 40 players I don't mind not having filler bots (though they would've been great for being filler spots on each team before other players join a match or something). But that's really my only qualm with what we've heard so far. We're still getting a Battlefront game, which is something I never expected to see again. I fully expected Battlefield Star Wars, and the fact that we're getting something even CLOSE to what BF used to be is a sign of at least the developers caring. 

Literally every other complaint comes down to the fact that it's a modern shooter. DLC is going to happen, you can't avoid that nowadays. Most people are asking for this game to look and play like 2015 but have 2005 game design. That's asking for a bad game. 

I think I'm just completely burned out on this game. The hype left for me a long time ago and now they have to confirm stuff that should be expected to begin with if it is successful enough I hope they make the second one better because as of now this has probably been the biggest disappointment with a series revival I've ever had XD They shouldn't have even called it Star Wars Battlefront, and if they did they shouldn't have made this the 3rd in the series -just say it's a reboot. Because it's definitely more of a reboot than a successor to SWB2

I think that was the point of NOT calling it BFIII, which as far as I've seen they never did. They called it Battlefront without a number for that reason. It's been pretty clear since before it was even revealed that it wouldn't be BFIII in any way. 

Hm, is that so? I guess I never checked if that really is the case. All I know is most gaming websites I've checked regularly refer to it as BF3. If they're treating it like a reboot, then I have slightly less problems with it.

That's sort of one of the problems; everyone wants it to be BFIII without EA ever having had I and II to work from. BFII took a year to build on top of having the entire base game effectively done from BFI, and by all accounts that game was rushed to all hell. That's part of the reason the real BFIII never came out; suddenly jumping to online-friendly consoles and adapting to the 2007ish console market was a lot harder to do than expected, especially with the plans to have seamless space-ground combat. After having released two rush-jobs that were fairly poorly coded, they had to fix everything up for 360 while making it modern and appealing to the shooter gamers of the time. BFIII, had it released on time, would've sold fairly poorly because it was so dated mechanically. Some of its ideas were fantastic, don't get me wrong, but it's because of this I'm glad BFIII never happened. The series ended on a high enough note that we were even ABLE to get a reboot ten years later. Even if the reboot is only average (AKA exactly what most people called the first BF upon launch) I'll be satisfied, because we're getting a Goddamn Battlefront game. 

I bet this will be just like battlefield, only reskined. What a shame, EA always out there to ruin a franchise. It'll also be 720p for XB1 and 900p for PS4, since they probably won't bother to optimise it properly. Greedy bastards.

hey, they have to do this. konami has stolen their title as shittiest company in  the bizz. they cant let that stand uncontested.

I wish more devs would strive for a good stable 60 fps and then try to worry about resolution bullshit.

Ok, you can play 30fps games normally, we've been doing it since forever, but dog shit graphics is dog shit.
