Though in story mode it was kind of annoying near the end as Leia was a pain to find.

Yeah, I'm trying to remember just how far I got in SWBF2. It's been years.
I prefer the maps of the original Battlefront, as well as the character models, but those Jedi and Sith! 
There is nothing like fighting with a lightsaber in close quarters. It's not quite as intense as Jedi Academy...there's this golden period in that game where your player has fairly developed Force powers, but his enemies are still storm troopers for the most part. Good heavens, it's fun plowing through hordes of mooks with a saber or force lightening.
I still play both, although against bots...I just put on some fast music, borrowing from games like Red Alert 2, and go at it for a few matches. Fighting the Empire is therapeutic.

Depends on how you define the target audience. Previous Battlefront I and II players, apparently not.
An 18 year old playing Battlefront II is now 28, surely that's outside their target demo now
Aye... even a 28 year old (God, I remember being 28...years ago...LOL!) would remember the fun of "single player" games that didn't require you to be online, or take part in compulsory multiplayer action.
Is anyone feeling these recently revealed covers?
Is anyone feeling pumped about this game? I lost a bit of glee-steam when I learned that AT-ATs would not be accessible... then learning the AT-ST's were going to be vehicles that we can drive, I kind of simmered down and maybe, I think.... maybe that's okay. It's still a walker. After all, if this game is successful, I'd like to think that it will continue to expand in sequels and improve things and eventually move up to things like making AT-AT's driveable. I loved pinning down and knocking out the shield generators on Hoth with AT-ATs in BFII (not so much in the first one).
The developers are telling us we can play as Vader, they are telling us we can pilot the Falcon. They have even given us a single player mode (albeit we know next to nothing about said mode). The graphics look insanely realistic and beautiful. The first four maps have been revealed: Tattooine, Hoth, Endor and Jakku.
Beware - there may be cause for optimism here.
EDIT: Oh shit, I just remembered I don't even own a Next-Gen system yet.

EA just revealed some gameplay at E3 today, for a MP mode called "Walker Assault". The footage jumps between both sides (Rebellion and Empire):

I've never played a Battlefront game in my life, but I'm seriously considering getting this.
An AT-AT is shown as being under player control in the gameplay footage.

SOLO PLAY! HELL YES!
You know looking at that video of the Hoth battle it looks like you actually do get to use AT-ATs at least there.
Is this shit real????
Because if it is...
Very much agreed!
The gameplay for the AT-AT is a pickup/jump unto vehicle type deal, but with a counter/energy bar thing that goes down if you aren't killing things. You can see it in action in the gameplay video at the bottom center of the AT-AT when under player control. When the player kills some Rebels the meter fills back up a bit. So if you have a target rich environment and are a good shot with The chin lasers, temple blasters, or the orbital bombardment, you could stay in the AT-AT a long time.
Interesting - that's how being a hero worked in Battlefront II, if you stayed idle or didn't kill anything then you'd be demoted back to a grunt. Sounds like sitting in an AT-AT without making enough damage will get you kicked out. Sounds fair, I suppose.
Did anyone see the news about Xbox One owners having access to the game 1 week before PS4's?
Edit: If you have EA access. And only 6 hours total.

People learned about the six hours the hard way last year with the launch of Madden NFL '15. Six hours just doesn't make it worth it if you don't already own the Xbox One. Which I don't.
Yeah, I'll still go for the PS4 version, t'anks.
Even if I had an Xbox One, I think the only games I would get for it are whatever exclusives they have.
Everything else...PS4.

Okay so my WONDERFUL partner just pre-ordered the Darth Vader PS4 and game for me.
I haven't owned a game system since my SNES back in the early '90's. Can anybody please confirm that I DON'T have to go online to play this bloody thing??? I DO NOT want to have to go online (because digital shit ALWAYS fucks up!) and JUST want to play the damned thing ALONE and have fun.
Can anybody PLEASE confirm this?
Oh and P.S. I just picked up "Alien Isolation" Nostromo Edition from K-mart the other day for $14.00! A friend at work said that's really QUITE good!!!
