Agreed, though I would at least like the option to play it in a first person view in a viable manner. It's more immersive that way.Soviet Heavy said:The most important thing the game needs is for it to be 3rd Person primarily. If it's a solely FPS, people will just declare it a Star Wars reskin of Battlefield. And if we wanted that, I'd go back to the Star Wars: First Strike mod for Battlefield 2142
Much agreement. I played both games on friend's systems and while fun in short bursts I never found enough to like to be worth buying. Other issues than ones you mentioned were the worthless single-player and the fact I found the controls to always be a bit floaty and the weapons with very little feel of impact. And I used to be a Star Wars nut at the time.Stupidity said:There are Battlefront Purists? That's just silly. The game was a great game to play with friends but it had tons of flaws from terrible level design, to breathtakingly bad weapon/ability balancing. I wont even mention the AI.
The game needs to be reworked for modern tech. Everything the scale of battles to the terrible upgrade system needs reworked.
Ah yes, the classic stand still and shoot strategyStupidity said:There are Battlefront Purists? That's just silly. The game was a great game to play with friends but it had tons of flaws from terrible level design, to breathtakingly bad weapon/ability balancing. I wont even mention the AI.

Well, at least the Stormtroopers could hit what they were aiming at that way (well, maybe 30% accuracy instead of 5%, but still an improvement!)Chareater said:Ah yes, the classic stand still and shoot strategyStupidity said:There are Battlefront Purists?

Playing Devil's advocate, let's assume their goal was to copy/paste the previous games; would they come out and say that, or would they say "We plan to release the most innovative innovation in the history of innovation,"? Not unlike how every Madden game is touted as "raising the bar" and "the best madden yet." IMO, given the debacle with BF4, it wouldn't surprise me if someone said "Look, we can't afford another BF4. Play it safer than safe. Just copy-paste, and we'll spin it as "remaining true to the source."'Jaximus Decimus said:I know DICE has the project, but I don't think the BF4 team is the one making Battlefront. Also, not long ago I saw a quote from someone at EA or DICE that said they weren't just going to copy the previous games, they were going to make Battlefront their own.
While they were out there in that type of way, have you ever heard of the Jedi Knight games? I personally think especially Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast does this much better than any other Star Wars games.Gxas said:Battlefront, in my opinion, were the only Star Wars games to really be any sort of decent in terms of the world.
When you play a jedi, or everyone is a jedi (ToR), it loses it's fun.
And if Dice is going to be doing something with it similar to Battlefield, I'm not going to say I'm not stoked as hell.
Played a bit of Jedi Academy and I own Outcast, but I've just never been one to want play a jedi. I bought a huge collectors pack because of Republic Commando, Battlefront, and Battlefront 2. It had KotoR and Outcast in it. Never even installed them.lukesparow said:While they were out there in that type of way, have you ever heard of the Jedi Knight games?

Speak for yourself; I want a Star Wars re-skin of Battlefield (which is EXACTLY what the first 2 Battlefronts were). Third-person is awful for shooters unless it's cover-based. Since DICE does first-person so well, they'd be better off doing it first-person.Soviet Heavy said:The most important thing the game needs is for it to be 3rd Person primarily.
