Holy fuck this game's visuals are out of this world. I can't fucking wait to get my hands on this!

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Awwww yeah

 

[RoboPlato]

According to some reddit people that mode is going to be called "Blast"

Some kind of bomb planting mode, maybe?

If I remember right, Blast is supposed to be the smaller-team sized competitive mode.

 

[Fj0823]

No Clone Wars or Space Battles are seriously hurting my interest on this

maybe Ill wait for the definitive edition with all the DLC

Is that really something you want to with a MP only game?

 

[FunkyMunkey]

an actual 32v32 mode? no of course not

Good. It lets us stay away from huge maps with empty space and too much walking.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

They've already announced the names for all of the multiplayer gamemodes.

Walker Assault, Supremacy, Fighter Squadron, Blast, Drop Zone, and Cargo.


We know what Walker Assault and Fighter Squadron are, it looks like tomorrow we will learn more about Blast, which is apparently TDM.


The renaming of modes makes me hope that Supremacy is actually Conquest. Star Wars: Battlefront without Conquest is blasphemy.

 

[Senoculum]

My absolute biggest concern is that the story campaign will solely pitch the Empire as a villain, when it is the Jedi who are truly evil.

Go clones! Or whatever remains of them...

If I remember right, Blast is supposed to be the smaller-team sized competitive mode.

"Bomb Defusal" or "Search and Destroy" to "Squad Rush" "Defuse" and now "Blast". Kinda expecting it to just be called "Boom" in Battlefield 5.

Defuse was trash. Hopefully Blast is better.

I have some good news and some bad news on the story campaign.

It's not what you think because

Spoiler

it doesn't exist

Agree. Big ass maps are cool and all but running for 10 minutes and then getting sniped from a tank is something that made me avoid conquest in Battlefield games. Especially BF4 with its horrible vehicle balance.

Well it kinda does but not in the traditional format.

 

[Elandyll]

This game looks ridiculous... How did I find myself so hyped for a FPS hehe?

 

[shandy706]

The compression in that "screenshot" is horrid.


However, the game looks incredible!

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Man, Gears of War 3 had 3 story modes then. Was it almost too good?

 

[link1201]

When is this supposed to happen?

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Blast is 10v10 TDM.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Yesss

 

[Ooccoo]

SPACE BATTLES!

sorry we lied!

 

[majik13]

Blast

A classic Team Deathmatch mode with a Star Wars Battlefront twist. Fast-paced and packed with chaotic fun, Blast pits 10 Rebels against 10 Imperials in a fight to the finish

http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/features/game-modes

should they really be hyping a "New" mode if its just standard MP fair?

 

[Boke1879]

Blast is 10v10 TDM.

That should be a very fun mode. I really hope it has tons of modes. I know I'm not going to want to do Walker Assault all the time.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I think the important thing is that maps are unique for each mode and not just cut down like Battlefield does.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

New mode is TDM? wow

Shocked there isn't going to be a conquest game mode, which is what the originals were based around and what DICE usually users as the focus for Battlefield.

I think the important thing is that maps are unique for each mode and not just cut down like Battlefield does.

Which also means that the reports of 12 maps at launch means 4 large Walker Assault maps (Tattoine, Hoth, Endor, Sullust), 4 small Blast maps, and 4 midsized maps for whatever else. People suspected this to be the case but some thought since DICE typically scales down maps we'd get 12 maps for Walker Assault. Oh well.

We don't know yet.

how do we know there isnt? They have only detailed 2 modes out of the 6? or so announced. I am guessing "Supremacy" will be conquest.

Shocked we haven't heard anything yet I mean.

 

[jon bones]

I really hope they do a Beta. And hopefully announce this beta next week.

a beta for this thing would go a long way

finger crossed!

 

[Gwarf]

Chances this comes for free with the game?
Whats the over/under on $19.99?

Spoiler

I will be buying it all regardless

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

The outrage over this announcement is depressing. Cynicism to a fault.

 

[Lakitu]

Have there been any hints to a Titan-esque mode?

 

[GavinUK86]

There was that Close Quarters Battlefield map pack that was focused on smaller matches and I found that more fun than the regular ones so this should be interesting. Sometimes I just want to play a small TDM and not worry about massive map and vehicles.

 

[Metalmarc]

Nice cant wait for this game.

 

[Darth Smurf X]

Technically... Team Deathmatch is NEW for a Star Wars Battlefront game.

So........

 

[16BitNova]

Hey guys, so was it space battl... Oh.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Give us a beta DICE! I can't hold on any longer.
