Battlefront III

[clonetrooper117]

Welcome to the place to tkae about battlefront III, if there is going to be one. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel.gif

[MasterKyobi9d9]

I don't doubt that there will probably be one. It will probably be for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Nintendo Revolution.


By-the-way, welcome to the forums! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/y.gif

[Dark Helmet]

Well, it probably wont be for the revolution, nintendo always gets screwed.

[delta09]

They might make another one, if they do then they should have the death star space battle and a squad would have to go in the trench.

[heels1785]

Yeah, I really want a Geonosis Arena Battle and more controls in Space, such as more objectives, playable Jedi in space, etc.

And also...sigh...Qui-Gon. He should have been in BF2.

[Brydn Kit Ti]

If darth mauls in BF2 Oui gon should be. Shaak Ti, Plo Koon should be playable and Asajj Ventress (unless you XBOX live and you can get her and kit fisto and 4 BF1 levels lucky style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/censored.gif)

Should have Bespin Platforms. Should have vehicles on ground, more BF1 levels as well.

[MANVERU]

I doubt there will be.
They've done everything in Battlefront.

Then again, Battlefront 2 was pretty crap, so they might be making a better one, WITHOUT focosing mainly on ROTS

[Jedi Master 2k5]

I agree with Manveru on this one

Agreed...I particularly enjoy the first one since there were a bunch of hard to get to places that you could pop out of.
However, let's try to constructively criticize this work of fiction, rather than blatantly bash it. This thread is for discussing Battlefront 3, not bashing the old ones

[Darth Darthy]

The series is pretty disappointing though. There was a time when Star Wars meant quality (Super Trilogy, X-Wing Trilogy, RS 1+2) and this isn't it. Battlefront 2 uses a poorly modded Battlefield 1 engine - Battlefield 2 has been out a whole year now and it's engine is far superior so why not use it?
It's not about the games it's all about the money. The Australian developers Pandemic, undercut every other independent studio to get the contract based on the fact they could produce a fairly average game (i.e. not completely crap), quickly and at a low price. They CAN make good games and did a great job considering the amount of time they had to do it.
I'd like to see Battlefront 3 (which isn't in production) with the Battlefield 2 engine and a little more thought put into the design and levels. Given the source material, it really could be something spectacular rather than just average.

I will concede there is a disappointment factor. The over all quality of Star Wars games has declined and the Battlefront series shows that to some extent. They're just not spending enough time developing the games. Now that Battlefront 2 is out that is very clear. Not because Battlefront 2 is poor, but because battlefront 2 is what Battlefront 1 should have been. Battlefront 2 is more of a work out the kinks polish it up and add some content thing - basically what they should have done to begin with. Which is great except now the engine is dated. So I do enjoy Battlefront 2 because of the great concept behind it and because it's fun to play, but I'm not going to pretend the execution couldn't have been better.

[JediMasterJamz]

good way to see it

[Brydn Kit Ti]

I'm not saying that it is crap I just was a bit dissapointed with some things in the second.

[JediMasterJamz]

well...nothing is perfect. I will admit, although I am a big Gamer, Star Wars Battlefront 2 is just a re-hash, and I agree whith whoever it was who said that B2 is what B1 should have been...but it's not. Battlefront 3, if it is ever coming out, should be nothing short of Amazing...at least here's hoping.

The download is for xbox. Not sure if its available on PS2. All you do is login to xbox live and select download new content. You get both Ren Var maps, Cloud City and Yavin Arena. You also get two new hero characters. It cost $4.99.

Fight trough al the episodes!!! :D

[Fett_rulz]

i think they should make a third one with ALOT more thought put into the levels and maybe unlockables like in the 1st one. those were fun to get. :)

[Jedi Master Elad Kenobi]

In Battlefront 3 they should have the chase and abduction of Supreme Chancellor. It could be like Rise of the Empire from Battlefront 2 but you could chose what side you were on.See Labyrinth of Evil for the Charaters.

[King Oropher]

They need to go back to the commands like on B1. Having to put your crosshair on a character to get it to follow you was a bit silly.

Yes, heartily agreed there

I also think they should fix the "Jittery Wall Sindrome" Those framiliar with Mon Cal cruisers will know it all too well.

The "Fight through all the episodes" is a good idea too. Maybe there can be 2 campaigns on one disk? :omg: dare we dream?

[MasterMickKenobi]

It should be released for PC again. There should be far more maps and playable Jedis/Siths. Hate that the Update for BF II is only released for XBox live.

[Darth Kitana]

I liked the idea of having to take 2 parts of one planet for dominance, they should have incorperated that into 2. I would also like it if the Jedi and other heroes had a more major role in it.

[JediMasterJamz]

If only Lucas Arts could read these posts...it would be an awsome game

[Darth Kitana]

i know. It would be well good to be the Jedi on their missions eg: Luminara Unduli on Kashyyyk or Plo Koon on the Neimodians home world.

[Tahiri]

I hope they do cause i really liked battlefront, and battlefront 2 was'nt bad.The best thing about it it that its almost like your there on each planet fighting for whichever side you fancied.Heck i'm for any kind of Star Wars game.So ya i hope they do. :cheers:

[jarjarsmeagol]

I think, in Battlefront III, you should be able to have actual lightsaber duels. You should also be able to heal fallen troops (reminiscent of Republic Commando) and ride more creatures, such as varactyls and dactillions on Utapau.

Just for clarification, Neimoidia is the Neimoidian homeworld. Plo Koon was on Cato Neimoidia, a Neimodian "purse world."

If you want lightsaber duels and more force powers you should play the Jedi Knight series. The playable heros are a nice touch, but Battlefront is not about jedi combat. It's about infantry combat.

I would agree. But if the game is large enough in content, as it hopefully will be if even made, then it can still get away with having a lot of details in various less significant aspects of gameplay and still have a greater focus on infantry combat.

[kiadimarky]

One of the omly imptovements I would like to see are MORE MAPS! The maps are prettty good, but proggrammrerz could compile all the maps from both bf1 and bf2. I think there was a hax on gametoast to convert all bf1 maps into bf2, but i dont know ill ask my friend.

Nope. At this point BF3 is all fan speculation.

[Darth Darthy]

Production has started on it. Word is that it's a whole new engine, is next generation and is XBox/PC/DirectX 10.

Wii is a different matter altogether. It can't be ported to that machine but LFL want the Wii in it's product line up after its strong E3 showing and are aware of the Wii's 'completely free' online capabilities. That's right - FREE. Nintendo will grab gamers by giving them a free online service and free VOIP service. Did I mention this is all free? Well, certain portions are. Don't expect to browse the web for free.

The 'Lightsaber Game' is in production, but it's too early to say anything else about it. Experiments are all that it is. Marketing is there though - imagine that $29.99 will buy you a Lightsaber handle for your Wii that deflects and blocks. Imagine 2 flavours, Jedi and Sith Saber Wii handle remotes. Now imagine the sales figures...

Darth Vader: The Game is taking shape too. Looks crap. Like EP3, the game.

I think they would have more scope then that. Why an RPG? Battlefront was never an RPG IP - it's a multiplayer FPS. And it's always been seriously flawed. There's a lot to fix and more to come. The BF IP is a big seller, it won't die soon. If your looking for RPGs then stick with KOTOR. I have a feeling KOTOR 3 might be online.

[kiadimarky]

I think they should incorporate the game into more of a css (counter strike source) style of game, to keep the die hard sw fans, and bring new hardcore fps playrs in

[Darth Darthy]

I had always hoped that this is what the original was. It was really more of a cut down Battlefront 1 clone with Star Wars stamped on it. Having said that, the developers don't have to make a release date according to a DVD release or movie release. They should have plenty of time to structure the game. I don't doubt that it wil still be a rip off of something that already exists, I just hope they execute it properly.

Personally, I'd rather they hold off until the Crysis Engine (http://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?image=comparison018mx4df.jpg) becomes available for licensing. Imagine this, only Star Wars.

[Darth Holmes]

Not to get to knit picky, but I'd like to see a little more continuity in some of the solder classes in the next version, Especially the clones. If the rebels clothes change color from white, to tan, to green, to grey on different worlds why do the clones all have to be from the 501st? It would have been a nice touch to see the clone’s armor in the game match what was seen in the movie according to the planet. Not to mention they have the Galactic Marines and the Clone Commander classes completely screwed up.

[Darth Darthy]

Battlefront already runs at a poor framerate anyway, especially given the archaic graphics. Besides, that won't run without DirectX10 I think. And that needs Vista, and Vista requires an upgrade of hardware anyway.

[GeneralKenobi]

Something that battlefront III needs is better online play and The Mandolorian and Sith Wars with Darth Malak as a playable character. Also Shakk Ti,Plo Koon,Eeth Koth, Agent Kolar, Adi Galla, Qui-Gon, Jar Jar Binks, Mara Jade, Lando Clarissian, Commander Cody(make him better than the clones), Padme Amadalia, Zam Wesell and much more! I also hope the space battles will just be when starfighters attack each other instead of the captial ships, or maybe more than two captial ships to make it seem like a bigger and better battlefeild.

Your powers never cease to amaze me http://www.daltonswendy.com/style_emoticons/emoticons/bigwink.gif

Edit: Damn it, the second time I tried the link it worked!

[MasterKyobi9d9]

I think the Expanded Universe should stay out of Battlefront 3, in my opinion. Just official stuff from Ep 1-6 should be in it.

[GeneralKenobi]

But there was EU stuff in the first two battlefronts such as the TX-130S fighter tank, MAF and the Arc Alliance speeder-1. Also Asajj Ventress who is a playable character in BF2.

[Darth Kitana]

yet Asaaj Ventress has been seen in the clone wars cartoons, so people are familiar with her. Malak would be a bit pre dated as the only character from KOTOR. Perhaps if they set a new battlefront in the Old Old Republic then maybe. I really like battlefront, although it would be better if your character who you played could be more personalised.

[GeneralKenobi]

The Clone Wars cartoon was EU material.

[delta09]

They should have jedis again but they should have better troopers like for clones. commander baccara, commamder cody, commander gree, commander bly. And other troopers for other factions.

[GeneralKenobi]

That is a good idea! A hunt mode on Coruscant with the jedi vs. elite clones would be cool to. I still want the sith war and new jedi order eras.

[delta09]

And also how about making Jango better in the next one I mean Jango sucked in battlefront 2. By making him have his actual pistols not some dumb big dart gun. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl.gif

[GeneralKenobi]

I know what you mean, i sucked with that gay style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/censored.gif gun, i'm better with boba fett.

[delta09]

They should definetly make grievous better he was the biggest let down for the heroes I think.

[GeneralKenobi]

(this is funny i'm following you everywhere because i have no ne else to talk to) I was pretty good with grevious on xbox live but i whish his for arms were always active, and i wish he could quadrouple jump like the other heroes and villians.

[delta09]

I just had another thought for the clone faction they should have the clone commandoes from republic commando.

[GeneralKenobi]

That is good, also they need Arc Troopers(they were in the first battlefront but they had rockets,heavy troopers in the second)

[the 4th mandalore]

ok back to bf3 u should be able to pilot the capital ships

[GeneralKenobi]

That would be f**king awesome! And if the detail is increased maybe for destructive enviroments, you could ram the captial ships into each other and make more than two captial to make it seem more like a fleet fighting another fleet(also allow piloting the frigates).

[delta09]

I really hope they have more maps more troop selection and more modes of play. Does anyone think it would be cool to have all the worlds from kotor like mannan, korriban, dxun, taris, etc.. for some new maps for bf3? (But still include lots of other maps that are in the movies)

[GeneralKenobi]

KOTOR stuff is perfect(i think) for another battlefront also the new jedi order era with the Yuuzhan Vong and the New Republic. It would also be cool to have more than two armies such as the jedi, new republic, and Yuuzhan Vong since the jedi had to fend for themselves, since the new republic didn't offer any assitance to the jedi in the new jedi order era.

[MasterKyobi9d9]

I dunno, I'd rather they just make new planets rather than ones from KOTOR or the New Republic books.


I just don't really like EU style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/devil.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bop.gif

Edit: But, I agree there NEEDS to be more than 2 armies fighting at once. A 4 faction battle would be sweet.

Good idea.

Like the wookies vs Empire vs Jawas.

What, someone had to say it.

How about Gungans versus Ewoks?

Loser named worst species in the universe.

[GeneralKenobi]

It would be cool to have a star destroyer and the invisible hand as playable levels. And Geonosis:Arena.

[joshua12]

I want a real Echo Base just like in the movie with the wampa trap door,all jedi master,stage be stage jedi/sith,Byss,and a story for the CIS,Empire/Repuplic,and Rebellion/New Repuplic,also a real sarlacc not just the arms i want the mouth,and I want Jabba's sail barge, stage by stage Courscant(Old Repuplic,Empire, and New Repuplic),I also want to ride a speeder,and I what eu planets/new planets and last but not least The Galactic Senate(inside) And whould if there was a Death Star 1&2 space battle and have the Excutor(star destroyer):) :)

[Zebra 6]

All of the above sounds good. Except with BF2, even though the space battles were thuroughly awesome, I would like to be able to manage where my cruiser and escorts go during the battle. In some of the battles my frigate would cruise right over the enemy cruiser and get rocked in the process. Also, I would like not only to be able to control my ship, but also an entire squadron, take a page out of Heroes of the Pacific.

[Darth Vengen]

I think a up to date SW flight sim is in order, IMHO. The space combat in BF2 has me craving more.

The controlable ships would be fun too.

Maybe more vehicles like the Juggernaut for large maps?

[JackBauer24]

I want Battlefront 3 to be out of the Clone Wars/Empire/Rebellion era. Jesus, there's THOUSANDS of years of established history outside of that 25 year period. Let's see the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, or the Corellian-Galactic Alliance Civil War, or the Ancient Hyperspace Wars...SOMETHING DIFFERENT! If I have to play another version of the Battle of Hoth, I may just have to find the people at LucasArts and hurt them.

[Cydon]

For those EU fans:

The Yuzhann Vong Invasion (particulary the Defense of Coruscant)
The Chillik Hive
The Thrawn Campaign
Some type of Noghri Fight

[Darth Massacrus]

[Darth Darthy]

Free Radical, the developers behind Goldeneye (N64) and Timesplitters are developing Star Wars: BattleFront 3.
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146932

This is excellent news as they've yet to make a bad game. I might actually buy this one.

[empire21]

Thats great!!!

I'll never forget all them sleepness nights playing Goldeneye, one of the greatest games ever, imo.

[Darth Darthy]

Remote mines. Enough said.

[Vesper]

Could be good. Goldeneye was a great game (as a physical Bond game it wasn't great. But it was a great game.)

[JackBauer24]

Goldeneye kicked ass! I've probably spent more time playing that than any other game in my library. I still break it out from time to time and slaughter hoards of enemy soldiers.

[empire21]

Remote mines. Enough said.

LOL yes, I use to piss off so many people using them in multiplayer :p

[Master Magnus]

Sounds absolutely great! I wonder how trustworthy this information is...

[Vesper]

LOL yes, I use to piss off so many people using them in multiplayer :p

I remember playing a 'team-game' in multiplayer. We covered an entire room in remote mines, then one of us would take cover with the detonator, while another baited the opposit team into the room.

Fortunately for me, I also got away with double-crossing using that strategy.

[Jediwan]

They sould make a Goldeneye 2.

[Zebra 6]

But there was only one Goldeneye!:D But remote mines def. sound good. I also wouldn't mind some nice melee weapons.

[JackBauer24]

They sould make a Goldeneye 2.

They did! It's called Goldeneye: Rogue Agent.

[Jediwan]

Right, forgot about that. They should make another one.

[empire21]

Right, forgot about that. They should make another one.
Or a remake of the original on the Wii. You know, I still cringe everytime I hear or type "Wii"

LOL :D

[Darth Massacrus]

Do not be so quick to criticze the Wii, padawan. I t may be a blessing, if its controls and innovative gamplay are used and used well. Especially by Lucas Arts. Imagine a Battlefront game where you can feel yourself pulling the trigger of an E-11 right into the face of some treasonous Rebel scum, or blasting a katarn in the Kasshyyk Shadowlands to pieces with a wookie bowcaster! To say nothing of the lightsaber possibilities:D ! Besides, at a great price you get good backwards compatibility, a Metal Slug anthology, multiple control options, DVD playback, and the possibility to immerse yourself in the Universe of a galaxy far, far away like you never have before. Massacrus out.

[JackBauer24]

Aaand they're paying you HOW much?

Don't get me wrong, I'm interested to see what the system can do, but you've gotta admit, the name is more than a little stupid.

[Darth Massacrus]

Actually, I was paid nothing, am preferential to the XBOX line of systems, and ALWAYS try to see the good and bad in all things with an OPEN MIND!

I'm not criticizing the Wii, i'm actually looking forward to getting one it's just that damn name and you must admit, it is rather ridiculous.

That's what I said! Uh...well...my version didn't have the diplomacy, but you know...

[empire21]

LOL, I just noticed that post :p

[Xanatos]

I would also like to see some melee weapons, like the staff the Tuskens use, or play as Gamorians, and use their axe.

[Champion Kyp]

Wii, (Plural Wiii) looks pretty cool. I'm planning to get one.
In BF III I would like to see Jedi as a regular class (Not any specific one, just Jedi or Dark Jedi) They would have much less health, but they would have the saber and Force Push or something. (Save the special Force powers for heros)

Battlefront is supposed to view the battle's from the dirty footsoldier's point of view, you #'*%%¤¤#@@@###%%%%¤¤¤¤

[Darth Darthy]

Less of that thanks.

And don't be too surprised if Jedi and Sith make an appearence in the next installment. Just because Pandemic didn't have the time or skill to implement it doesn't mean it shouldn't be in the game. In fact, if anything, it's a complete waste of a Star Wars universe resource. It just requires testing and balancing, and time is something Pandemic never had.

[Justin]

They should make the next one from the point of view of the Rebel Alliance.

[Vesper]

If you mean the campaign I agree

[Darth Massacrus]

what, dont you like being able to finally play as the 'bad' guys? For the glory of the Empire!

[Vesper]

I don't have a problem with it, but that was the basis for the campaign in Battlefront II.

[Darth Massacrus]

what did you think of my list of campiagn potentials? Look on the last page or so.

[Cydon]

Fabulous of course.

[Darth Massacrus]

which ones would you play first?

[Cydon]

The Mandlorian Wars and the Fall of the Sith Empire.

[Darth Massacrus]

interesting. I did them all, and in chronological order, just for fun, then replayed the space battles that were associated with the campiagns. And I personally enjoyed giving the order to annihilate Taris, playing as Malak

[Champion Kyp]

I would like more campaigns, yeah. And also maybe some more armies. Kinda like Galactic Battlegrounds, where you have the Wookies, Gungans, and the Naboo. They should also put the Yuuzhan Vong in there, with Shimrra, Nom Anor, Nos Choka, and Tsavong Lah as the heroes. That would be cool.

[Darth Massacrus]

Kyp: did you see the list? see the last page or two of tis thread for more thoughts.:bye:

[Xanatos]

I would love to see the Naboo guards in there. Oh, and the Red and Blue sentae guards. So they should have a level like a Sepritist ambush on the sentate, and you have to play as either red or blueguards.

[Darth Massacrus]

Actually, the Abduction of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine would fit that just fine.

[Darth Darthy]

Actually, the Abduction of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine would fit that just fine.

That would work as a scenario. From a marketing stand point, none of the EU material would cut it. Perhaps a few new planets but these characters are not known by the average SW fan (I can't even pronounce most of them let alone know them). Just wouldn't sell. Thrawn might but he's been around over ten years and already has made an appearance in a few games. Red Guards? That would be rivetting running around with a melee staff wacking at air while people snipe you off.

[Darth Massacrus]

Well, what better way to acquaint the average fan with those eras and campaigns/conflicts than with a great game like Battlefront?

[alew773]

scoop this

[JackBauer24]

It's from Wikipedia, therefore, it's not true. Or, at the very least, the information listed is extremely suspect.

That's from page 6 of this thread.

[Darth Massacrus]

Interesting. Maybe you could call the developers toll free hotline, assuming they have one...

[Darth Darthy]

And say what? "How's the coffee?"

[Darth Massacrus]

:lol:

[alew773]

it may be specultive but it give hope

[Darth Massacrus]

or you could call the developers hotline and ask: is your fridge running?:lol:

[bendu]

I'm willing to believe Free Radical's making the new BF game. If not just for wishful thinking. They made Time Splitters which is mega awesome. They'd definitely make the game good.

I'd love to see more EU used in video games but I doubt they'd take a risk like that. A risk that I think would be met with great success. Time to show people there's more to Star Wars than what is seen in the films.

A scenario mode might be fun. Where you pick specific major events in either of the two trilogies main conflicts. Each side would have its appropriate troops and heroes and the like. Maybe a Han, Luke, Chewie, and Leia on the Death Star scenario. Might be fun to play the swarms of stormies chasing them down while a couple buddies play one of the heroes. Or a kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine would be a cool scenario. I think if they added more to the Galactic Conquest mode it would be really cool. Managing resources and such, bring back planet specific bonuses in some way.

[Cydon]

I was at the Battlefront Files on IGN (maybe IGN) and saw edited maps and classes. Feast your eyes on this:



If you want more custom map pictures, tell me. (I also found a Darth Revan playable character)

[Darth Massacrus]

cool!

[Cydon]

I know! I personally enjoy the Mandalorian Plains custom map...

[Darth Massacrus]

someone ought to make a Korriban map, and the ability to play as Sith Lords, Dark Lords, Sith Assasins, Sith Marauders, and Sith troopers.

Dark Lords = Dark Trooper
Sith Assasins= snipers
Lords = officers
Marauders= heavy troopers
troopers= base unit

[Cydon]

There is a Korriban map.

[Darth Massacrus]

Malachor map?

Byss Map?

Rakata Prime/Star Forge map?

[Cydon]

Malachor, I think.

Byss: no

RP/SF: no

[Cydon]

YES!

http://theforce.net/latestnews/story/Battlefront_III_In_Development_104392.asp

[alew773]

Awsome

THIS IS THE BEST POSSIBLE THING TO HAPPEN IN THE GAMING INDUSTRY!:happydance::happydance::happydance:

Could you possibly write that any bigger, Cydon? I can't quite read it. :P

[Cydon]

How's that? Not much of a difference, I know. :wink:

[empire21]

How's that? Not much of a difference, I know. :wink:

Thanks!

[Cydon]

Your welcome.

[MasterKyobi9d9]

Hope they take out Jedi and improve Space Battles for the 3rd installment of Battlefront. The 2nd wasn't as good as the original IMO.

[Darth Darthy]

WTF? That's been known for at least 7 months. TFN must have had a slow news day.
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=146932

[Cydon]

I saw that too. Was a little confused too...

[Master Magnus]

The Official Site has announced the title and hinted at a date for Battlefront III. I've edited the title to reflect the change. Announcement of Star Wars Battlefront III: Renegade Squadron (http://starwars.com/gaming/videogames/news/news20070510.html). The official LucasArts site can be found here (http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefrontrenegadesquadron/).

[Kapit]

I wouldn't consider it Battlefront III...it's on the PSP! The PSP is pretty much dead. I see it as more of an offshoot myself. BF3 would be released on actual consoles and not a barely-living handheld

I guess I didn't read too carefully this morning...

[Kapit]

it's all gravy, man!

[Darth Darthy]

Excellent! So all 4 of us PSP owners can enjoy it! Wonder what project Free Radical are working on then?

[Cydon]

Death to the PSP!

[Cydon]

*bump*

[JackBauer24]

^ was that really necessary?

[Cydon]

Yes.

[Darth Massacrus]

uh, I have SW Battlefront II for the PSP, and frankly, it was impossible to control. PSP is more suited to retro games and platformers. anyways, I do like that The Valley of the Dark Lords will be in this upcoming PSP Battlefront game.
