Full reveal trailer:


Campaign will follow Inferno Squadron in the aftermath of Death Star 2's destruction up to the Sequel Trilogy era.
In Progress:
--Star Wars: Battlefront - Anniversary Edition (formerly Star Wars: Battlefront - Legacy Edition)

On Hold:
--Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron For SWBF1
--Endor: Imperial Base

Also, yes, the actual Clone Wars era is in the game, not just the heroes:



So, this game looks to actually be the modern evolution of Battlefront. Colour me very interested, but I'm a little unsure as to what the offline/co-op component is.
In Progress:
--Star Wars: Battlefront - Anniversary Edition (formerly Star Wars: Battlefront - Legacy Edition)

On Hold:
--Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron For SWBF1
--Endor: Imperial Base

Is there any information on clone wars other than a picture of a battle droid and the fact it exists in some measure?

also

looks like a spot on prediction to me

They seem to be getting closer to fulfilling my expectations.

They showed concept images of Clone Wars fights on Kamino (with Clone Troopers wearing Jet Packs) and we can also see Jango's Slave I and Obi-Wan's Episode 2 Starfighter in those concepts too. I think it's safe to say that Clone Wars is a fully-fledged era.

This was focused mainly on the single player campaign so I expect we'll see a heck of a lot more at EA Play in a couple of months.

Disgusting. I was actually liking what I was hearing until that came up.

One thing I did see that I thought was interesting, was that the campaign will be canon. Wonder if it will ever factor into the movies.

I think I'd much rather have free maps at the expense of having the choice to buy new skins... right?
What was the benefit of the season pass structure?

I don't really like microtransactions out of principle, but if its just skins and cosmetics I can live with that. However if its actual in game advantages...

...I probably won't buy it.

Oh yeah for sure, I REALLY don't want to see 'pay to win' kinda stuff.

Very happy to hear it will be class based. If they get rid of the pick up bonuses and give us customisable servers I'll be buying it.
I play less now but I'll always be around, lets keep this site and battlefront going. :)

At the very least is seems there are no hero pick-ups; instead there's some kind of new 'resource point' system.

Is she from Battlefront 2 EA?

Interesting trailer. I personally am looking forward to the Clone Wars era (hoping some TCW characters show up). Glad to hear the class-based system will make a return. I barely logged an hour onto the first one even if I bought it a few months ago.

In any case, still looking forward to it, and still sucks I can't preorder the deluxe edition for PC. :(
