    Default Star Wars Battlefront [October Beta]

    Hi guys,

    Just thought I should let you know about this game coming out in October. Looks pretty sweet. Can't wait for the movie too! Mate reckons the battle needs to be scaled better, but will wait and see. Looks like there are some neat features, and could be a good game to thrash for a few weeks.

    The killer is that it uses a lobby system instead of dedicated servers. Is a real turn off for me. That and there is no ads


    In saying that though, i am proba still going to buy it lol.

    >made by EA
    >is a Battlefield game

    I predict that it's going to be a flop. It'll look nice and polished but will be nothing more than BF4 with a Star Wars skin. After the novelty wears off, people will begin to realize this.

    The original Battlefronts will always be the kings of Star Wars FPS games.

    I used to be hyped for this game, but then I realized what it actually is. Slapping Star Wars on a Battlefield game doesn't make it Battlefront, and from what I hear it is ditching a lot of the old game's elements. No space battles, AT-ATs on rails, it just isn't the old battlefront. I guess I will just wait for the real Battlefront 3 to come out.

    Oh dang, I clearly missed the previous games and should go back and try them first haha. This does look nice though and maybe they might add some more elements after the Beta is done!

    GameRanger, Hamachi, Tunngle, or any such server-matching application can still be used to play.

    Servers for the PS2 version went down a long time ago, and servers for the Steam version were canned in 2014.

    I was hyped for this game to begin with, but since there are no space battles which were so nice in the old games.I'll probably pass.
