North Melbourne made a game?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Am I the only one that preferred Battlefront 1?

Cloud City was epic.

Battlefront II + conversion mod with all the Battlefront I maps = profit

Oh boy, I had all the Battlefront 1 maps but that mod looks dense! Might have to give it a crack

It's amazing, KOTOR era stuff is in there as well.

 

[JordanWCE]

Battlefront 3's menu got leaked.

 

[Strahany]

lol JordanWCE that's not real. You can tell because Hoth is actually bigger than Endor.

Umm its the destiny menu. Fairly sure he was taking the piss. You maybe to. I hope.

Dude it's a joke, that's not a picture of Battlefront. It's clearly Mass Effect 4.

Umm, actually it's Battletoads.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

I like the new battlefront menu, looks very battlefront like.

 

[The Speaker]

that's clearly battleblock theatre

 

[pantskyle]

I'm excited for the Reef.

 

[Quivorir]

Umm its the destiny menu. Fairly sure he was taking the piss. You maybe to. I hope.

 

[Colonial]

I was hoping it was. As per post

 

[snitzel]

Oh you can't drive AT-ATs? You mean those vehicles that were only available on the hoth map in BF2? Those things that move pathetically slowly whilst you shoot a lazer beam that has a cool down and all your allies are actually in battle risking their lives?

Yeah I guess I won't play this new game either.

Anything else to nit pick before I don't buy this game?

To be fair that is just a minor gripe on a long list of disappointing absences.

It's more the fact that this is, essentially, a Battlefield game, so being able to operate all vehicles is an expectation. Whether they are actually effective or not is largely irrelevant. If this was being developed by Infinity Ward, for example, there wouldn't be this expectation (and thus this disappointment) given their tendency to utilise AI-controlled vehicles in their kill streaks.

Personally, I don't mind if we can't control the AT-AT, but it seems silly to make the AT-ST and other vehicles capable of being fully controlled, but then arbitrarily selecting one or two that cannot. They should probably either let us take control of everything on the map, or nothing at all. From there, it is up to the players to decide what they think is an efficient tool in the game; if people share your opinion on the AT-ATs, then they won't use it, but maybe some people will master it, or just find it to be plain fun.

This game is being marketed as one where you create your own battles in the Star Wars universe. The lack of drivable AT-ATs and omission of space combat are but the first asterisks on that claim, and leaves us worrying if there are many more to come.

Battlefield with a star wars skin, sounds pretty good to me.

 

[pantskyle]

neddy36 and Affidavit want to know if this will have tanks.

 

[sacka]

Yep, walking tanks .
