So minimal destruction.
Fully controllable AT-ATs in BFr2 was great fun so I'm not buying this argument at all.
I'm not going to question a game design decision on a game I haven't played yet. I trust them when they say it works better this way, they are the ones playing and trying balancing the game at the moment.

maybe you couldn't read, it didn't say anything about minimal destruction. it says destruction where it makes sense in the star wars universe. obviously it's not going to be michael bay destruction.

Weren't the AT-ATs in BF2 on rails?

I think you may have misunderstood what "traditional" campaign is
I'll believe it when I see it, like most things.

That's just stupid. There's no possibly way this game could handle 4 player split screen. I'm amazed it can do 2.

May as well have been. There wasn't much room to be creative with them. Just huge, walking killing machines. I can see why DICE chose to do as they did.

Knowing DICE theyll probably implement them similar to how BF3/4 had you control thr main big guns which were scripted along a path.
Agreed.
When was the last AAA game that had 4 player split screen anyways?
Yup!

Buddy just texted me and said 'All the weapons I saw had ACOGs [sic]', meaning all the ones he saw had a scoped view, but did not see any iron sights.

The Handsome Collection, but those are just last gen games so I don't know if that counts.
Yeah I wouldn't count that, or something like the Master Chief Collection.

Does H2A have 4 player split screen? I haven't bothered to check. But yeah, 4 player split screen is a bit much to expect these days unfortunately. I'm just happy we're at least getting 2 players.
I'm sure I read split screen was only for the co-op missions.
Here's an example of Dolby Atmos audio for anyone one who was curious, and no you do not need to have some ridiculous speaker setup, you just need a nice pair of headphones.

Oh really? I thought you could go online with a friend and you could both be earning unlocks and stuff for your individual accounts.

From everything I've seen, it's splitscreen only for the missions.
You can it says so on the official site, but there isn't splitscreen in the multiplayer it's just a partner system.

i just realized i probably have played a pc battlefront game and not just the psp one. most likely the first battlefront game.
i remember not enjoying it as much and basically only played it because it was star wars.
i think it was the controls, because i was playing games like counter strike and quake at the same time. i think it was too slow for my liking, and the maps were too open and flat.
I thought I read somewhere that they'd be controllable in other modes? Or at least I thought someone from DICE implied that or something.

Here is what DICE told IGN about single player mode.
Rather than a traditional solo outing, Battlefront will rely on a set of short missions which can be played alone, or cooperatively via split-screen or online.
The co-op missions are "connected," Bach said, "and they are quite different" from the regular competitive multiplayer. Missions are short, and intended to be replayed on higher difficulties.

I love that they have some offline mode/single player mode, but this doesn`t sound like traditional multiplayer mode with bots at all. It sounds more like the challenge missions Battlefront on PSP had to offer, and they weren`t funny at all.

Mario Kart 8 has 4-player split-screen! (at the cost of a halved frame rate..)

Is it bad that I kinda get where he's coming from? If the game mode is to protect the AT-AT while it travels through the woods, do I really want the first dude who runs and get in it first to be in charge of the pace of the entire mission?
I dunno, sounds reasonable to me. If we can get in it and gun that sounds reasonable. Especially if I can still control an AT-ST or other vehicles.
Or you could have auto-pilot as an option/switch. Instead of turning it into a COD helicopter gunner perk.

What? I don't think that's how it works...
I think the AT-AT moves automatically through the map (it's like a train that your team has to defend as it pushes through). The more damage it takes, the more in danger your mission is.
I assume additionally, you can jump in it and shoot it. Almost like a turret or something. However, if the AT-AT takes too much damage, or if the damage is localized in your gunning position you die and that position is nullified.
Is this not how it works? Can you post anything that proves your point or is it just conjecture on both our ends?
What you described is what I meant, auto-pilot, just a shooting gallery. Not that it will be a perk.
Being a Star Wars game it's going to attract a lot of casual gamer fans.
But they could have made auto-drive an option that you could override, which would be especially useful if you had a teammate with you.
The chances of this happening are quite slim, but I admire your persistence. With their hope of hitting 60FPS and have some graphical prowess you won't be seeing four-player split screen in anything outside of Nintendo. It isn't viable as a business decision for them and it wouldn't be great as a technical decision.
Oh so it's like Payload, that sounds great. I'm not really sure how you could effectively pilot an AT-AT, I mean they're fucking huge it's not like you could just steer them around in any sort of satisfying way, it would be nice if they let us get inside it and man the head though.
