[juliamcardinals]

Yes it will they got me

 

[Kyoufu]

YESSSSSSSSS

All I wanted was Anakin. Clone Wars era content is a bonus. Can't wait.

 

[Olengie]

I need more

 

[Ryan.]

Also announced:

• New Squad system
• Known planet so far is Geonosis and will be the biggest map so far
• New Gamemode involving "capturing command posts and destroying capital ships"
• New Starfighter mode involving dog fights with just hero ships

EA seems like they abandoned this game. They didn't even show any footage of this content.

 

[Lifejumper]

Squad mode.
Conquest like mode - with capital ship destruction
Heros only starfighter mode

Were announced too.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Exciting!

 

[Drayco21]

4 characters and a map that should have been in at launch, but better late than never.

Wish we had more focus on the animated stuff. Would've rather seen Ahsoka over Anakin tbh

 

[Grimminski]

Hello there

 

[Lukar]

GENERAL KENOBI

This is what will get me back into the game. Couldn't care less about the Solo content. Clone Wars though? Hell yeah.

This thread is literally the opposite, they said it drops this year. It's clearly in heavy development

 

[ILikeFeet]

no Ahsoka, no Ventress, no Clone Commandos

come on son

 

[Yarbskoo]

New Gamemode involving "capturing command posts and destroying capital ships"

Wow, it's almost like they're making a real Battlefront game. Now they just have to remember the importance of bots.

Ashoka and Ventress are both from the cartoons, why would they pick them over the way more iconic movie heroes?

 

[MercBerserk]

Any eta?

 

[DarkSora]

HELLO THERE!

 

[The Silver]

If Obi Wan has the high ground he should be invincible

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Ashoka and Ventress are both from the cartoons, why would they pick them over the way more iconic movie heroes?

Because multiple devs teased many times that they loved the series and were looking to add them

 

[ILikeFeet]

Click to shrink...

because Ahsoka has grown to be one of the most popular female characters in the series and there should be more female representation. having 2 of the more popular characters from the cartoons help with that

Later this year. They said on Reddit they'll talk more about it at the end of the month.

The fact this wasn't the first reply disappoints me

 

[Arex]

Ah Attack of the clones, not clone wars the tv animation huh. Should've had Ahsoka.

 

[somerandomweirdguy]

I hope Obi-Wan and Anakin get alt costumes that are based on their Clone Wars looks. Would be cool to see those represented realistically.

Clone Wars content might get me to finally bite on this game hmm

 

[Lee Chaolan]

About god damn time we got Obi-Wan.

Because the Solo content is just now releasing. This will be the summer/fall content.

 

[Kayo Police]

In for Clone Wars, hopefully the community has moved on and forgiven DICE and play this game.

 

[Deleted member 17630]

I should play this

 

[Van Bur3n]

Coming in hot for this game for one reason only.

If the leaked rumor is correct( and so far it is) Yes, the game is being run by a small crew on DICE. Motive and Criterion are already on other projects and the majority of DICE is focused on BF5

 

[Revenus Victor]

Would prefer Liam Neeson to Anakin.

 

[Gleethor]

Really curious about the capital ship mode that was mentioned. New map on starfighter assault or completely separate mode?

 

[Liquor]

Been waiting for this forever.

 

[osodemolay]

I thought we would only get Obi-Wan and Grievous, so having Anakin and Dooku is a welcome addition.

 

[matimeo]

Can I play starfighter mode offline with just bots yet?

They added that in last month patch IIRC

Thank you!! I feel like I was waiting on that forever and then I kinda just stopped playing the rest of the game and went on to other things. I will have to check it out later today.

Clone Wars Season 2, believe!

Also, is Geonosis the only Clone Wars era map they've announced so far? I'd really like to see an Utapau map. And what about a Coruscant map for Starfighter Assault?

 

[vaderise]

Looks like Warframe 2

 

[ComputerBlue]

That new location better have at least one GA map or the new mode better be a large one.

Oh does it? You got that behind the scenes sneak peek?

Spoiler

wrong thread lol? Anthem?

 

[Gleethor]

They called it the largest battlefront map they've ever made, safe to say it's gonna be in GA and conquest

 

[AngelOFDeath]

I'd prefer Mace Windu over Anakin

 

[louisacommie]

They were both in a theatrical movie

 

[Melkezadek]

Omggggg

This is exactly what I wanted. Dooku??? Anakin??? Pinch me

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

Easily the best news from this whole shitshow of a conference. Looking forward to it. Dooku and Anakin are a nice surprise, we already knew about Grievous and Obi-Wa which are both very awesome, too.

But why couldn't they show any gameplay at all, lol.

 

[ED Cantu]

Give me an Umbara map and I will buy the game again twice.

Please look forward to Battlefront 3

Oh, that's good to know. Thanks.
