I thought 3rd person was in? Makes no sense for 1st person if there are heroes in the game.

60hz or bust. DICE has been experimenting with higher rates on PC CTE.
I would like to judge how many players are needed for a intense match all by myself tyverymuch. If people want more, let them have it. This hand holding is too much.
omg I'm dead.
I agree, you could move them in BF2 but.they're incredibly slow and would be hard to balance if they could walk over to objectives or spawn points.
For real. 40 players is more than enough.
Map design and modes will be catered around this number. Don't know why people are so worried. 20v20 is still prettttyyy huge.

I would imagine so. Instead of a skyscraper collapsing on itself ala BF4 I am expecting us to see a burning Star Destroyer take a nose dive right into the planet!

More players does not equal better, I'm sure you know that.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Hopefully heroes are balanced this time.

40 people sounds better. And it wont be a clusterfuck of Squad Management anymore. 4 Squads of 5 people is better.

I still have no idea what Battlefront is about, other than what I imagine is Battlefield: Star Wars edition
Never watched Star Wars either, but I cant help but be excited based on reactions in this thread

Yea coming up with preemptive excuses for something disappointing in the game is totally logic.
Play some bf4 map with 40, it is empty.
Was it really confirmed? As i said, i only heard rumors and posters saying it in here, but nothing concrete.
Also i need real 3rd person, not just the occasional swap in some situations. (only for heroes also wouldn't count, since the majority of the game would still be 1st person, i want a full 3rd person game)
.....and Bots.....

Hmm...no mention of Prequel-era factions. That's kind of disappointing.
?
Battlefield 4 is far from going backwards
I would like to be the one deciding that, if i ran the server.
Oh my god. That wave to Kyle Ren killed me.

Those maps aren't designed for 40 players though, that's why.
Ding ding ding.
I also happen to think 40 is the perfect number for a BF game. 64 gets too hectic IMO.
Yep, 40 is plenty. The game is sounding amazing and will be a hell of a nice break from the usual multiplayer shooters we have been getting. Besides, it has been too long since we had a killer Star Wars game.

Playable heroes doesn't surprise me, that was in the original games.
My hope is for something like Starhawk, where you can be on the ground, in combat, then jump in your starship, go into space, and join the battle up there.

Interesting MP number at 40. Surprised they didn't go with the usual 48, not complaining though, It'll be good for some coordinating of tactics. 64 in BF4 is great but sometimes on certain maps it can feel a little cramped or even sparse.

Eugh, so hype. I've been playing Battlefront 2 on my Vita on and off since the original announcement.
I'm expecting most of the game to be first-person, with heroes and maybe vehicles third-person.

Remember that different Battlefield game modes have different player counts. Although 40 down from 64 could probably help in the graphics/performance department, so I guess I wouldn't mind.

Bad Company 2 maxed out at 32 and that is DICE's magnum opus to me. Anything that points towards a similarity to that is fine with me.
Wow, that's some strong language in a post that says absolutely nothing. The logic in his post was sound, actually. In BF2, your experience in the AT-AT is pretty much going in a straight line. Aside from that, you know next to NOTHING about the game. At this point, you have read less than 10 paragraphs explaining a tiny amount about a single map in a game that isn't set to be out for half a year. Who knows if they will only be automated on Endor? Perhaps you can drive them on other maps? Or they could be automated on every map? Or only be on Endor? Or they could be taken out of the entire game by launch! Who knows?
At least get some details before spewing grade-school level vitriol all over the table.

Free DLC... from EA?
Did you even read my post?...
Also how is BF4 = Battlefront 3?
Bad Company 2 really IS their magnum opus. Best BF game ever.

Why would that vehicle get singled out and be non-controllable? Seems odd.

Fair enough, custom servers should be up to the owner to decide within limits obviously.

It's one map and it's a movie promo tie-in.

It's not Battlefield: Star Wars, think fraternal twins. Everyone is hoping Battlefront isn't Battlefield: Star Wars to be honest lol.

Because those maps are built for 64 players. A map designed to be played by 40 people won't feel empty.

The "battle up there" is just gonna be like 4 dudes with only 40 people.

I was hoping for 64 players, but I'm pretty good with 40. I've played tons of matches on Rush with less players and they're insane. And being able to play as Darth Vader and Boba Fett? Sounds awesome. I wonder if we'll get some playable characters like that from the Alliance side of things?

Every single BF4 map was made for 60 plus though.
BC2 was the most intense, because the maps were made for 24.
Heavy metal was the only huge map in that game and it was a snoooze fest.
say thank you to consoles

What did I miss in the article? We got the name of the planet yesterday and the rest I see is a battle that takes place there 30 years before the film. Nothing on TFA itself.
Precisely.
