That's good news.I think I'll need an upgrade to play it,sadly.

[Jedi_Poo]

Me too, but more than likely I'll get on PS2

[MasterKyobi9d9]

There is new pics and an article scan about Battlefront 2 here: http://forums.lucasarts.com/thread.jspa?th...=36156&tstart=0 (http://forums.lucasarts.com/thread.jspa?threadID=36156&tstart=0)

Just scroll down to see many links to new pics, info and more!

[MasterKyobi9d9]

Here is some new info:

-Improved AI, verbal commands, points to direction of the battle
-space battles
-Jedi classes for both light and dark sides of the force
-Improved graphics, same engine though (and they do look better, thanks to ILM)

Its from the PCGamer magazine

[Jedi_Poo]

One question, is it the same on PS2.

[MasterKyobi9d9]

Yes.

Sounds great! The command points based nature of SW:BF felt like a limitation on the game play, so more objective based sounds so much better. I hope that they've included elevators, as it was very strange they were absent from the original game.

I liked the command points it was a great game to play when you dont want a "story ling" and just wanted to shoot and kill

[TuskenRaider1]

Yeah, I gotta say, I liked the command points alot, adn thought that is why it stood out from other SW games. But I betcha itll still be good.

[Jedi_Poo]

Are you talking about the command points you had to stand by for like a minute and it would change to your faction. Cause I didn't like that, you just get blowed away standing there.

[Master Magnus]

^Yeah, there were always some enemy that was respawning behind your back. Oh, and I'm not that crazy about the respawn thing either.

EDIT: Oh, there will be ship-to-ship dogfights. Cool!

[stormtrooper9]

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif I would love that. wate that was in 1 but not in space style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue2.gif

[MasterKyobi9d9]

It'll be awesome cause you can board ships like Star Destroyers and Republic Cruisers with a Fighter. Space combat will be more like Rogue Squadron 3 type controls.

[ROR_JagFel_20]

Looks awesome but now I have to decide whether to get it for PC or PS2.

[MasterKyobi9d9]

I'm getting it for PS2.

[ROR_JagFel_20]

The only thing about that is that u can't get the new maps and mods they'll come out with.

[MasterKyobi9d9]

my PC is too old to play Battlefront 2, so thats pretty much why I'm getting it for PS2

[ROR_JagFel_20]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it for PC.

[lordmakalpine]

I want to pull a Saesaee Tiin in the space combat like in one of th recent CW episodes. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/royalguard.gif

[Greedo Boy]

What?

[JedI-LegionarY]

He's talking about jumping off the ship onto an enemy ship and bust through the ship into a gun fight.

[ROR_JagFel_20]

Yeah that would be pretty cool.

[TigerClaw]

Gamespot just posted a preview of the game, Along with a video interview of one of the developers showing footage of the actual game, And judging from the footage, The game is a huge improvement over the first game, This one focuses more on the Space Battles, There will be lots of Episode 3 content in this game, One of the major battles in the game will feature the battle of coruscant, Be sure to check out the video on this page (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/starwarsbattlefront2/preview_6122653.html).

[Kapit]

i don't know, the original, to me, was such a huge disappointment that i don't think i'm going to even bother with this game, seeing as i only have a PC

[Master Magnus]

Wow, it sure looks good. While I like Battlefront, it's a bit too limited, but I look forward to the follow-up.

[Sam Kenobi]

According to the email I got, LucasArts was to officialy announce the game this morning at C3.

[Kapit]

that's still what the site says as well

i doubt it, a lot of people were incredibly disappointed with the original game, so i bet ya there'll be fewer people picking this one up......unless there are MAJOR, and i mean MAJOR, changes to the game

[ROR_JagFel_20]

Well if u think about it. Being able to board star destroyers or use your starship is quite a big advancement.

[Kapit]

that's one aspect of gameplay, and it's already been said the game engine won't be changed. it's battlefield1942 with star wars skins

[BobPalpatine]

I played the Beta they had at CIII. It was such a horrible beta that I can't give you much of an idea what it was like. It looked basically the same thing as the first game, just new locations and some new weapons maybe. It kept messing up on me there and not reading my controls right so I won't pass judgement yet.

I enjoyed the first one enough for a rental. This one will probably be the same way. I'll wait for it to turn 19.99 at stores.

[Kapit]

of course, why spend the time to make a new engine? *sigh*

[empire21]

Those screenshots look great, looks like we get to play as jedi this time.

[Obi-Stu]

I enjoy Battlefront. It can only get better.

I don't think I'll even worry about the reviews. If it's Star Wars, I get it. Now that I have a decent PC.

[ROR_JagFel_20]

Yeah but you know how people are. They always say that the sequels are horrible or aren't the same as the orginal. Just look at Halo II for example.

[Kapit]

in this case, the sequel can only be an improvement

[MasterKyobi9d9]

The only thing I can think of if it gets a negative review is if they say that it is exactly the same as BF1, with only small minor improvements. Maybe it would get a 6.9 to a 7.4 for a review like that. But I think otherwise. Probably a 8.5 for this game.

[ROR_JagFel_20]

I hope so. Lucasarts needs to make a comeback.

[MasterKyobi9d9]

Lets just call it "a come back in progress."

i think it is sort of a good idea

[ROR_JagFel_20]

Not really because the whole concept of the battlefront games is to live the famous battles as a trooper and not a jedi. There are plenty of other games where u can be jedi.

[TuskenRaider1]

Ater the success of KOTOR, KOTOR II, BF and what looks like a kickass Ep III game, why exactly do they need a comback?

[ROR_JagFel_20]

If u think about it. KOTOR was one of the few games that made Game of the Year that was Star Wars or Star Wars related.

[dominik_hasik]

Coming this fall battlefront 2 is going to be 2.28544790 times better. Allowing dogfights. Boarding capital ships. Becoming jedi with force powers and better Computer AI. What u think? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happydance.gif

Oh my god.... I just saw the trailer and it looks awesome! Get to play the space battle in Coruscant! Not to mention you get to be different style of clones from episode 3. Get to wield a saber and lead troops into battle and can't wait to play this game! I hope I will get my RAM before it comes out. WOW WOW WOW WOW

this looks, visually, like the last one. it seems like they didn't even bother updating the graphics at all, especially considering it should be for the newer platforms

The graphics on the first battlefront trailer didn't look that great either. But I think they turned out great on the game itself. I'm sure they will for the second one also.

My concern is the are recycling old maps. From the trailer you can see we will be going back to Hoth, Endor, Mos Eisly and Naboo. The Mos Eisly map looks exactly like battlefront 1. I want all new maps. I can play Battlefront 1 for the old ones.

[Master Magnus]

^Yeah, I'm also a bit worried about that, but perhaps they used the old maps as placeholders.

Hopefully. But clearly Darth Maul in Mos Eisly is not a place holder.

[Felessan]

Saw and tested BF II at E3. Let me tell you it is much better than plain old BF. Yes the older maps are in they as the planets are part of the known universe but there are new maps and new battles to be had.

This game simply looks out of this world.

[Spiderwebb13]

Im really excited about playing the battle over Coruscant!

Can you tell us what was so much better than Battlefront 1?

[Felessan]

Well besides all the added features mentioned here. I thnk the game play is more engaging. I think what your seeing graphically isn't a true gauge of what is in the game.

Obviously the expanded calsses you can play/achieve are infinitely better. The weapons seemed to be strengthended differently not sure that this going to be easily observed by the casual gamer but by people who are FPS freaks like me it is evident between the two.

Word has it that servers could go from 32 people per server to 64. Modding capabilities are vastly improved.

I'll have to dig out the sheet I have that was given to me.

Was the over all game play pretty much the same as Battlefront 1 though?

I have very few complaints about the first game. So I'm just curious about exactly what their doing to battlefront 2 to make it "better". In the back of my mind I'm a little nervous that they're going to screw up a perfectly good game by trying to add new and improved concepts they way they did the Rebel Strike.

Also, one thing that was sorely mising from Battlefront 1 was a melee attack. Did you happen to notice if they added one for battlefront 2?

[stormtrooper9]

I dont mind having the same maps as long as there are a ton of new ones to equale it out and feachers and stuff. like Mos eslise more open doors please more urban combate style pelase.

The site says that there will be 16 all new maps. Thats the same number of maps on the original battlefront game. So the question is; will Hoth, Endor, Naboo and Mos Eisley be considered part of the all new 16? Or are thay part of some sort of bonus? I'm hoping its the later.

hope they improve AI a lot though cause if you order them to get out of your vechile in air they follow orders and die



kinda funney though style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[Spiderwebb13]

Yeah, the AI in Battlefront 1 is terrible.

[MasterKyobi9d9]

Yes, you can now give more Sqaud commands and take a larger group of troops with you than in Battlefront 1. About the Maps, I think there will only be 16 Maps in total including the old ones. Its just that the old ones are being updated. I am very much looking forward to this game. You can watch the X-box demo from E3 here: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/starwar...q=Battlefront+2 (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/starwarsbattlefront2/index.html?q=Battlefront+2)

It would also make the game a lot less frustrating in certian situations. There were times in battlefront 1 where any enemy would rush you and get so close to you that you couldn't get into postition to fire back. Especially on the hard setting.

A basic melee attach would be really nice.

[TuskenRaider1]

Bottom line this will be a phenomenal game, just because it will be objective driven and not just command posts....

Yeah, I like how they have put more emphasis on the space/vehicle combat. Trying to dog fight in Battlefront 1 was pretty much a joke. I just hope they don't get to carried away with it. To me battlefront is still about ground based infantry combat.

[Spiderwebb13]

The objectives will make the game more challenging too. A simple melee bash would get you out of some tight spots too. Who here thinks that Lucasarts should add some gametypes to Battlefront II?

IF U THINK ABOUT IT THEY PUT ALL THE LOCATIONS IN STAR WARS IN BATTLEFRONT I SO THEY CAN'T MAKE UP NEW ONES. THEIR JUST UPDATE THEM.

[JedI-LegionarY]

I agree with you guys about the melee attack. It can be useful just like in the WW2 game called Call of Duty. So like when you're reloading and see an enemy running towards you, you can bash it's head with the butt of your rifle style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif . Who knows maybe you can do what Commander Cody did in the cartoon Clone Wars. RAMBO style!

[KarvoZem]

New Clone Classes for the game

1. "BeeHive Trooper" - Sniper
2. Commander Bacara Style Armor- Heavy Weapons
3. Galactic Marine- Clone Commander/ New Offcier class with gattling gun.
(I think the last two should be switched, don't you?)
4. Clone Pilot- looks the pilot from the Clone wars, ie closed face helmet, not open like the movie. Called Enginneer
5. Regular E3 Clone with 501st markings - Regular Trooper
6. Can't make the last guy out. But it looks like Commander Cody stlye armor

[ROR_JagFel_20]

Yeah like maybe smacking a guy with the barrel of your gun would be cool. Or prehaps a Republic Commando knife blade would be cool too.

[Marko Ragnos]

No, you can't pilot the Capital Ships, but like you said you can move around in them, take off from the docking bays, and shoot from turrets.

Yes, you can board capital ships by landing in their hanger bays and once there you can go on foot to capture command posts or operate the occasional turret. But there is no information I know of that says there is a bridge, let alone one you can actually go to and to fly the ship. How your making that conclusion I have no idea.

New Clone Classes for the game

1. "BeeHive Trooper" - Sniper
2. Commander Bacara Style Armor- Heavy Weapons
3. Galactic Marine- Clone Commander/ New Offcier class with gattling gun.
(I think the last two should be switched, don't you?)
4. Clone Pilot- looks the pilot from the Clone wars, ie closed face helmet, not open like the movie. Called Enginneer
5. Regular E3 Clone with 501st markings - Regular Trooper
6. Can't make the last guy out. But it looks like Commander Cody stlye armor
<div align="right">Quoted post</div>


I'm looking forward to playing as the new clones from ROTS.

In watching the demo I noticed the "Beehive Trooper" is the same as the medical trooper from Utapau in ROTS. I think what you call the clone pilot is actually modeled after the AT-TE gunner. And I'm pretty sure the last guy is the Jet Trooper.

Yes, you can now give more Sqaud commands and take a larger group of troops with you than in Battlefront 1. About the Maps, I think there will only be 16 Maps in total including the old ones. Its just that the old ones are being updated. I am very much looking forward to this game. You can watch the X-box demo from E3 here: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/starwar...q=Battlefront+2 (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/starwarsbattlefront2/index.html?q=Battlefront+2)

Oh and by the way, Battlefront 2 comes out on PS2, Xbox, PC, and PSP. Not any of the Next-Gen Consoles.

same galatic conquest and the two campaings

[Darth Holmes]

As far as the time to beat goes: you have to remember that battlefront isn't set up like a normal game that way. You fight one map at a time, which depending on your skill and how you play can go by much faster than a regular level based progression. So naturally you’re going to beat the game a little quicker. I do think that the mission-based objectives in Battlefront 2 will extend the time it takes to beat each map though.

thats what I saw at the post about a few I think it may be for PS2/Xboc olny

[Spiderwebb13]

I didnt think that a demo was out.

Maybe he was talking about the trailer for Battlefront 2.

[MasterKyobi9d9]

The demo comes out this fall about a month before the game comes out. You can go to this link for an interview http://www.gamecloud.com/article.php?article_id=322
Heres part of the interview:

Gamecloud - What other new and improved gameplay features will be found in Battlefront II?

Shara Miller - Objective-based gameplay is going to make a dramatic difference in the single-player campaign. In addition, each map will have a variety of additional game modes for Instant Action and multiplayer, like Hunt, Catpure the Flag, and Tug-of-War. Designers are carefully choosing the game modes that are the best suited to each of the maps.

Uh, some more info offhand: Pilots can now only be used in space, and a new class called "Technician" will be used for the ground. There will be a new Commander class theat can give orders to more units and is more in charge. A new weapon in the game is a "Chain Gun" i think that pretty much explains itself. if you have any others questions I should be able to answer them. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[Spiderwebb13]

^Thanks.

[Darth Holmes]

If pilots can only be used in space, does that mean they're the only ones who can pilot space craft? If so, that would make for some interesting strategy. I don't think anyone ever played the pilot characters in the original battlefront.

<div align="right">Quoted post</div>

I used the pilots on Bespin Platforms and that was it though.

[MasterKyobi9d9]

Well heres a list I found of all the confirmed features of Battlefront 2. Thanks to Gynt_Ryles at http://www.gametoast.com.

Space Battles:
-dogfighting done right: barrel rolls and turbo functions
-ability to land in capital ships, and man turrets, sabotage shield generators, and fight in corridors and armories
-destructible frigates and corvettes between the capital ships
-only two classes available in space: soldiers and pilots
-troop transports for each faction; Sentinal-class landing craft confirmed for Empire; Rebel Troop Transport (I might be able to get a pic. Be patient.)

Jedi/Sith:
-known playable Jedi/Sith: Mace Windu, Darth Vader, General Grievous, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, and probaly Count Dooku and Anakin /Skywalker
-when certain objectives are completed (such as capturing a certain CP), you can play as Jedi/Sith
-Jedi/Sith have lightsabers and Force powers (Force choke for Vader)
-Jedi/Sith have timers: completing objectives prolongs your time playin as them, and spawn-camping and hiding in corners decreases your time playing.
-instead of falling over dead, "killed" Jedi/Sith leave gracefully
-Jedi/Sith can only be played in 3rd person view

Historical Campaing and Galactic Conquest:
-Historical Campaign follows Vader's 501st Legion
-Galactic Conquest has been redone

New Battlefields:
-Coruscant space battle
-Coruscant: Jedi Temple
-Mustafar
-Utapau
-Tantive IV
-Death Star interior
-Endor space battle
-there will be 12 new maps; to add more variety there will only be one map per planet (space doesn't count, which explains the two Coruscant maps), and the original maps will also be included

Troops:
-depending upon the battle, clones will alternate between Ep2 and Ep3 skins
-each faction will have a new sixth class: the commander; Republic gets Clone Commander (with chain gun; purple uniform); Empire gets Imperial Officer; speculated sixth unit for Rebels is Bothan Spy (seeker rifle, disguise kit) and Tactical Droid for CIS
-on ground battles, the pilot will be replaced with the Engineer
-Droideka now has blue shield (instead of the incorrect white ones)
-all units now have a limited sprint ability (cannot shoot while sprinting)
-the commander class can see enemy units on the mini-map and give a defensive bluff to nearby teammates (boosts morale; troos fight and doge better)

Vehicles:
-AT-RT
-Sentinal shuttle
-A-Wing
-TIE-Interceptor
-ARC-170
-V-Wing
-Vulture Droid (reskinned Droid Starfighter; now converts to walk mode when landed)
-each factions respective capital ship (un-pilotable)
-starfighters do not have cockpit views

Here's an archive of SWBF2 news: http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/n...up_Update;18819 (http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/news/Star_Wars_Battlefront_2_News_Infomation_Roundup_Up date;18819)

Controls:
-revamped starfighter controls are easier to use
-entering/exiting vehicles is now easier (How? I have no idea.)



Release:
-November 18, alongside the ROTS DVD, and 3 days after the release of the Xbox 360 (Nov. 15)



Ammendments/changes

New Gameplay Modes:
-deathmatch
-team deathmatch
-capture the flag
-attack and defend

On Edit: Gynt Ryles from gametoast.com has updated with new information.
Emporor Palpatine is now a playable Jedi/Sith. Updated Force powers are Force Push, Pull, Speed, and Jump, and Force Choke and Sith Lightning (Sith only).
-Obi-Wan gets Force Speed, Darth Vader gets Force Choke, Darth Maul gets double-bladed lightsaber and Force Jump, Grievous gets four lightsabers (no Force powers because he is not a Jedi/Sith). Jedi/Sith can only be played in 3rd person view.

I think they said they will be releasing Battlefront 2 on the new consoles at some point down the road, but not when the new consoles come out.

[Galahad_Skywalker]

Too bad...would make a great launch title, from the sounds of it. The original will have to keep me content until then.

[zaborak]

anyone thinks the game should have cheats like:at the press start screen press L1 L2 R1 R2 and then you get unlimited ammo.

or maybe unlockable cheats like finnish the game then at the special features menu it pops up a new option called secret codes...

anyone have a good idea of a cool cheat like:type blahblah at the code screen and then you get unlimited time playing a hero.

[stormtrooper9]

2nd game I never used cheats on (Battelfront 1 the 1st was Wolfenstine 3D) Bascily there is no needs for cheats in the 1st so I dont think there will be need in the 2nd one.
but if there is a cheats in it I have a feeling that one or some may have THX or 1138 or TK or 429 in them style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

space battle makes up for everything that could possibly go wrong with the game. jedi will have a small role and will be objective based, it will run out quickly unless you keep doing objectives, so only the best really will have a crack at em.

I liked Battlefront 1, but it was really hard to fly ships. Hope they fix that for 2.

It wasn't that the ships were hard to fly so much as there just wasn't enough room to fly them. The space maps in battlefront 2 should take care of that problem.

[Spiderwebb13]

^Yeah the maps were to small for that.

[Bossk]

Utapau is too big of a map. That isn't a bad thing, because I like that. I think that we need that type of balance.

Speaking of that, thats what I believe is happening with the space maps. Yeah, I bashed the Space maps at first, but after watching through some in-game footage of the EP3 space battle, I saw how large it was vs the Tantive IV space map that I was playing. So maybe Space maps is just like the ground maps. Maybe you'll have the large Hoth type maps and then you'll have the small Kashayyk night map. Because the Tantive IV demo that I was playing only had 2 interactive capital ships, one for each side. But in the EP3 space map video, I saw like 3 interactive Seperatist ships and like 2 interactive Republic ships. So just like the ground maps vary in size, I'm assuming that the space maps are just the same.

Only the newer ones. For example it'll probably play Halo 2, but it won't play Halo 1.

What system is that demo for?
Gah why can't LA release a PC demo.

[Spiderwebb13]

^Or an Xbox demo.

[Dark Helmet]

ROTS DVD is coming with an xbox demo i think

[Kapit]

$5 says it'll be a rush job again

[Darth Holmes]

Considering the amount of time they're taking to release the game I highly doubt it will be a "rush job". Battlefront 2 should be a great game if they stick to the original template and eliminate the obvious problems. From what I've seen so far, they've taken their time and done just that.

[Kapit]

i just cant trust it, not with what happened last time. no matter how cool it might look

[the c0unt]

I agree with Kaput. As good as it looks, they are making a mistake again by tieing it in to the ROTS DvD. Now they can't fix bugs if they don't have the time. Whoever made the decision should know better then to do the same thing twice.

[stormtrooper9]

Well also since its the same engin and ever thing they know what the bugs are so the old problems should be fixed.

True, but they still are limiting themselves development wise by being forced to release it on November 1st.

[stormtrooper9]

Not realy depends on how big of a Team is working on it and how much time they had. Since there using the same engin they have more time to make new things and include this that were missing from the first BF and imporve the short commings of the fist one too.

[the c0unt]

Yeah. plus spacebattles style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yeah.gif

woa, those are blurry, but what i did see looked good. I'm hopeful. I did like BF so the sequel will likley be an improvment.

And that goes for Kapit too.

[Spiderwebb13]

^All Im saying is it could be a rush job, but I dont think that it will be though.

[Dark Helmet]

it should be against the law to ruin a good game by rushing it.

That certainly would improve alot of games. Now if only we could outlaw Mario Party sequels...

If only that were true.

[BigMackDaddy]

While we're fantasizing about things, gamers (us, not industry or press stooges) should be granted unrestricted access to E3.

Watching other people play the games on television just doesn't do it for me.

[Dark Helmet]

^ style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif

[Ithorian guy]

I just played the demo, and I think its alright.

[BoHeDia]
