Look at it. LOOK AT IT!

Wow, I thought we would all have to wait until E3 to see this. Doesn't look like a massive gameplay change to the first one but still looks like a solid 8 or 9 out of 10 game. Also, was that the Clone Wars voice actor doing the Clone voice? If so, that's great. I find this multi-era thing weird though. Why would Rey be fighting alongside Clones?

EA Play is today.
Yes, that is Dee Bradley Baker voicing the clones.
As for the heroes, they indicated that heroes will be cross-era but units will not.
The video has since been taken down.
How interesting... Me, and EA, takes the same project... Curiously who's will get the bounty first... 8)
The VIDEO IS BLOCKED.DARN MY LUCK DARRRRRNNN IT!!!! :fist:
Here's an alternate link: https://vimeo.com/221073225
I'm caustiously optimistic. It looks wonderful and I love all the voice acting. However gameplay modes, replay-ability and single player content will be the deciding factor for me. I'm sososososo glad they have CW though!
I'm also not too happy about the cross era heroes. Kind of breaks the idea of playing an actual battle from the films/TV shows.
My guess is they have cross era heroes because they lack sufficient numbers of heroes to do era specific.
Like they don't want to make an Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Mace Windu, Cpt. Rex etc. so they just throw in Han Solo which they already have and that cuts down the number of heroes in the game altogether.

When your excited for EA's SWBFII but low key excited for Sereja's new Theed Map even more.
This looks so much better than their first game!
I have a theory that they simply haven't finished many more heroes than Rey and Maul, and their hands were forced a little since they needed to show some evidence of heroes.
I was so happy to see that they finally removed the crappy auto aim for the air combat... :cheers:
... or the people playing didn't use it.

I hope so. I haven't seen very many people online happy with the cross era heroes. I'm hoping they take the hint and take that out of the game before it's final release. That shouldn't be anything more than a coding issue as they wouldn't have to make new models or get voice actors or anything.
Developer Dennis Brännvall says that they're undecided on cross-era heroes. As for skirmish, it will be in the game... but won't necessarily be an exact mirror of the multiplayer game modes. Apparently this is because they didn't want MP to be limited because they had to make the game modes compatible with the AI. It'll be more customizable than the first game. No further details.
The cross-era heroes thing is probably my primary concern with the game at this point. It feels odd to have that as a function while maintaining immersion.
I'll still be looking to see how much they invest in singleplayer. And if they decide to keep this game going or just nearly abandon it like they did the first one.
I'm fine with the Cross-Era thing as long as they keep it a special game mode.Also, video links have been taken down by EA (heck it even says so), so I not sure if I'm seeing the right thing:https://www.youtube.com/embed/_H8p8De5c8M
What I'm really liking is the new orchestra soundtracks, which are slightly modified version of the originals, but make it sound like an entire new piece.They match each character and certain instances (example a death) very well.The surround sounds seem to be giving me a Battlfield 1 kinda vibe though, with all that clarity and realism (in the Star Wars Universes).

And now we have are new Michael Bay movie.
The part of the single player we saw at the end of the trailer confirms some of the previous theories, that the emperors final orders were kept inside of a body with his face on. (As seen in the trailer)

If you're interested in this check out Marvel's Shattered Empire which had the first appearance of the Messenger Droids and a set of orders that the comic follows.
Did anybody notice the E-5S is returning as the Droid Specialist's weapon? Glad to see a Classic Battlefront weapon reintroduced!

Nifty!
The game play seems to be pretty good. I'm not sure how I feel about the heroes thing. Map looks great, but I'm worried graphical requirements will be too high for me.

Oh yeah. Love the reference to the old games there.
This game looks a lot more interesting than the first Battlefront reboot, but of course I have to chime in that it is dissapointing to see no droidekas in this game :'(
Otherwise, it looks like EA realizes they need to make some changes to things like Paid DLC to change community opinion about them. Maybe this game will be worthwhile :cheers:
Edit: I thought the siege mode shown for the tanks was a pretty interesting concept. Also the two stage objective makes it look like games will be varied between a more open area with ships/tanks in the first part, and then more close quarters fighting in the second.

About the droideka thing, the devs said that they don't know what the future will hold but later on in the seasons they could add droidekas.
I don't know about you guys but we need the HailFire...
Given that there were naboo star fighters it appears there may be a few map specific vehicles.

I'm glad they're at least considering it, in the original SWBF1/SWBF2 Droidekas were extremely weak so it may take a lot of tweaks to make them viable. They're really not a traditional FPS unit so they are kind of in the Bastion area of balance: either OP or terrible.
welcome back, droidy :cheers:
Thanks Led. You can probably find me playing SWBF2 a bit now :cheers:
Potential maps I could gather from the reveal and game play trailers
Tantive IV* (?) (gcw)
Kamino* (cw)
Kashyyyk* (cw)
Hoth* (gcw)
Starkiller Base (for)
Tatooine* (gcw, cw also possible but probably not likely)
An asteroid field (gcw)
Takodana (for AND gcw)
Endor* (gcw)
Sullust (?) (gcw)
Jakku (gcw) (I'm like 90% sure of this)
Scarif (gcw)
Naboo* (cw)
*denotes planet appearing in at least one of the original swbf games
There were a few I couldn't identify, but this seems like a big improvement.
