I just hope the other maps and modes are good fun or this game is going to become Star Wars: The Battle of Hoth.

If Squadron has any meat to it at all, it might become Star Wars: X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter for me. ;P

First expansion focused on the Prequels, second expansion focused on Force Awakens and beyond.
Get all my money.

The only things are basically a miniature Gungan shield (love the PING noise of blaster fire hitting it) and the implosion grenades having that seismic charge sound from Episode II.
Sigh... I'm not sure anymore
Some of these modes are just renames of modes we keep getting in shooters.
I found survival and drop zone incredibly boring, because I've played so much domination, team deathmatch and horde modes in other games.
I really enjoy walker assault, and hopefully they balance it and fix the spawns in that mode. That mode feels unique to me because as rebels it feels like a mix of capture and hold an objective for as long as you can, and then DPS a target.
But I don't know if I can keep playing this mode and justify a 90 dollar price tag for this one interesting mode and only on assuming 4 maps (Hoth, Endor... maybe Sulust and Tatooine?)
I find myself craving more and more abnormal multiplayer game modes

Honestly, as much shit as the prequels get... I think it has much more interesting planets. Courasant, Kamino, Naboo, Mustafar are more interesting to me on a visual and aesthetic level than Hoth, Tatooine and Endor which are essentially Snow, Desert and Forrest.
But considering they keep saying they want to focus on original trilogy, they will probably be Yavin (eh) and maybe Cloud City, which I would be ok with.
Maybe even Alderaan, and the match ends with the planet blowing up.

So Supremacy and Walker Assault is playable with bots?

Well, considering Jakku is coming it clearly isn't some iron rule. Also if they focus on original trilogy only they will run out of good stuff for expansions real fast.
Unless of course they plan on releasing Battlefront 2(-2?) relatively fast instead of longer term support.

There's enough content for me to justify the purchase and im sure I'll dip into every mode.
I'm getting to the age where I really have only time for one game at a time (particularly online shooters) and I'm going to have to pick between Halo 5 and Star Wars Battlefront this holiday season as I won't have time for the two of them

Never played Battlefield ? They're going to reuse maps for different modes.
Well, they never mentioned these 'Battle Missions' before. It's not a full confirmation, but there won't just be Survival waves in Missions.
Honestly, I think that the expansion packs are going to consist of OT planets like Yavin, Dagobah, Bespin,Death Star etc, and the sequel will revolve around Force Awakens and the new trilogy

Already a step up, I guess. But I just don't understand why they are so vague about their offline modes, game will be out in about one month.
Please be excited for Battle Missions costumers! Yeah sure, but what are battle missions EA?

Put the mode on Endor and it will be like a Silent Running spin-off.
Then it might be planets from 4,5,6 and force awakens.
Hopefully the movie has more interesting planets than Jakku, because asides from that Star Destroyer, anyone could confuse it with tatooine.
I highly doubt this would ever be in the game. You need to jump some huge fucking hoops to justify having imperials and rebels running around the planet Yoda went to for exile.

It could be a 1v1 mode with Yoda trying to steal Lukes food.

Gotta leave some for DLC.
With so few maps and the fact that any single map won't have all the game modes available, this is going to feel like half a game very soon after release (or if you are only interested in few game modes, more like a quarter of a game). Oh but I forgot, you can give them extra $50 to get a little bit more variety next year..
If Supremacy is really going to only have around 4 maps, that's less than what $15 BC2 Vietnam had five years ago. 4 maps for a game mode really feels like a $15-20 digital only release. I really hope I'm wrong though and the game doesn't feel content light.

I just wanna know, is there 12 maps for supremacy mode?
Yeah I will really need a breakdown of how many maps per mode. I doubt all 12 will work for everything and 12 just doesn't sound like a high enough number for something that didn't have to use resources for a campaign.
I just want a new MP game in November. I'd rather have it be Battlefront because of the Star Wars factor, but next to the new COD it still doesn't look like a game that should cost 60 bucks.

AI/Bots in an offline mode would make me VERY VERY happy. Even more so if I can play with my daughter.
There is a 2-player survival-mode that is available in splitscreen. But you maybe want full scale battles in splitscreen with bots?

I doubt that the first DLC will be about the prequels. if ever prequel content. I doubt dice could recreate some of the prequel locations... everything was CGI
All the gametype announcements so far happened without any gameplay footage. And i doubt much will happen before release. Maybe another Launch Trailer.
