Coop needs to be 4 players online. 2 player online Coop is a joke.

Just when you think you've seen it all up pops another one, add 4 player split-screen and people would want 8 player split-screen because "my 100" tv screen would support it".
They've given us split-screen which in itself is a real bonus considering it's almost non-existent these days but you keep fighting the good fight for all the entitled gamers out there.

Octodad is correct. You can shoot from it, but its path through the forest is on rails for obvious reasons and no fun lost.
The weakest parts of Battlefield 3 and especially 4 were the maps with nonstop vehicle spam. DICE just went completely overboard with no regard for balance. I hope they tone in down a bit for Battlefront. Unless it's a vehicle specific mode, the infantry fight should be the focus.

It would sure as hell spoil it anytime an idiot decided to get in and drive and ruin it for everyone else.
^ More like not implementing it properly to save on development time because 'PC guys don't need it'. Hell, it might be a reason people would double-dip. Probably not once they find out the missions are bite-sized though.
By doing what?
It could prevent spawn camping if they managed to get it that far, so could defense turrets, it's also why you can deploy shields and call in strikes to deal with them.

To be honest, "missions" doesn`t sound like a lot of fun anyway. They present them as very short missions.
Rebel Strike had splitscreen while still being the best looking gamcube game, and it (mostly) ran at 60 fps.
Oh, 4 player. They could probably pull it off with somewhat reduced visual quality.

Fully controllable AT-ATs in BFr2 was great fun so I'm not buying this argument at all.
I for one am glad they're on rails. Piloting AT-ATs in BF2 was obsolete and boring. Your finger essentially never left the "W" key. I'm certain it'll be more fun just concentrating on aiming and firing this time around.
I don't see how this gameplay is too different from Battlefield aside from the third person camera... They better have first-person only server options too. Third person in online games is bull shit. Especially those that left you switch between the two... yeah, I'm totally going to handicap myself.

Third person shooters are excellent online. I've had quite a bit of fun in Socom, TLOU factions and Ghost Recon. I'm pretty sure some people would be glad to add how awesome MGO is.

But 8 player split screen has never been a standard in gaming, 4 player has been.

Am I crazy? I watched the Battlefront panel live stream from a few days ago and the lead Dice guy specifically said third person and first person. Also, playing as "hero" characters was standard in the past Battlefront.
My guess is that they'll be absolutely needed to advance towards a certain objective that requires the AT-AT to get there to win somehow. Somebody manually hanging back with it farming kills would probably be having fun themselves but would be sabotaging winning the entire game for his team potentially.
^ it's a good point
I listened to someone talking about it and they mentioned first person and third person switching on-foot AND in vehicles.

Looks like a different species. Im pretty sure they said we'd get customization. So maybe different races to choose.

But it hasn't been the standard for how long now? barring a couple of games and now even 2 player split-screen is almost a thing of the past so getting any split-screen at all is already a bonus over most other games these days.
I just think there are plenty of other things, much more important, that should have petitions backing them.

*rubberband the joystick forward, go make dinner.
Battlefront moments.
I would argue in MP it is detrimental to the experience. It's frustrating enough in BF to have a third of your team camping the spawn for a jet or wandering off doing something silly. It seems like a waste of a teammate to require a designated "hold forward" on the joystick player. This also seems to lead to potential trolling. Better to have it automated for something so simple and let players be more interactive.
That said, I think you can still get in the head and "pew pew" things.

Did you say this for Gears of War and Halo? Not every game needs to max out player counts. RIP M.A.G.
Something that really irritates me about this forum, well people really
If so, can the Empire have access to the Emperor's weapon in GC?

Just be happy we're even getting splitscreen at all.
I honestly didn't even expect 2 players. I only started this petition when it was announced that they have 2 player split screen.

It also states that the game will be 720p. Plus we know it supports offline splitscreen and is supposed to be 1 player offline only. Placeholder par excellence

Anyone else somewhat worried about map size? I fully understand that maps are designed around player count and Dice is well aware of that, but in terms of actual sheer physical landmass though. Battlefield 4's conquest maps were pretty huge and felt imposing with 64 players duking it out.
Say Battlefront's maps were the same size...it doesn't feel like 40 players would fill it up and have it feel just as chaotic and destructive, no? They can make it so that 40 players do take up an entire map adequately but the maps literally won't be the same size as BF4's right? I just want BF4 sized maps again.

I'd think, and hope, they'll keep them pretty tight.
It wouldn't be Star Wars if it didn't feel like there were a million lasers flying all over the place near you.

They may be smaller but I reckon they'll have a lot more going on in them. Some may even be the same size but encourage vehicle use. I am worried though, yes. I look forward to seeing this all elaborated at E3.

It needs to be a mixture of Close Quarters and full scale
Endor - I can imagine would fit a close quarters map with all its tree's and general foliage providing adequate choke points. It does need to provide enough space for speeder's to manoeuvre though.
Tattooine / Hoth - would fit a larger battle with use of vehicles as its a more barren environment
