SK, you are right there in some spots. There are actually some games that can house 100s of players, like MAG on the PS3. You can literally have over 200 people in one massive battle. As for processing, there's still alot of people out there with quad-core and even dual-core CPUs, it might take some time for the average computer owner to have an eight core CPU. As for the battle aspects right there, that would be pretty sweet.

Planetside 2 is a game based on continental-scale battle, it's absolutely massive. The capability for hosting a lot of people in a very large battleground is there.

The Droideka, it is true how the deka is very unbalanced in the game. Though there are very rare moments where that thing can be used effectively, like a massive hallway.

The Deka can be alright in the hallway, that is true, but any jet can just fly up to the walkway and rocket the crap out of you. Dekas are also not very maneuverable, so if one gets in trouble, there is almost no way for it to escape other than recharging its shields bit by bit.

the #1 thing on my list i want: Dead Space 3! (for xbox, of course )

I really hope that game doesn't turn into an action adventure with some scary monsters here and there 

CS:GO is already marketed towards the more hardcore crowd. They don't need to change much of the core gameplay, and they can still satisfy players. SWBF3 would have to draw some casual people in to the game to make it successful, especially since Star Wars is such a popular universe catering to many different types of people.

You change up the gameplay in a series when you need to draw in a new crowd, and yes money is the influence behind that. I mentioned Halo before, it's a highly competitive game with a lot of seasoned gamers on it, but the new halo has a lot of aspects that appeal to casual players, and the gameplay is still fun and exciting.

I think the main thing that keeps drawing people to Battlefront is that you feel like you're in the middle of an epic battlefield, flying in speeders with your allies following you, headed towards the AT-AT to prevent it from taking out the generator. Soaring star wars music plays as you fly around the AT-AT, and you get the thrill of taking it down after 3-4 go-arounds. There is a certain bravado to this game that is very unique. I still see the same bravado in SWBF2, it's just that that game has better graphics, space, some gameplay changes that are probably not for the best, and Jedi.

As long as SWBF3 maintains good class balance, doesn't have a stupid shotgun that kills everything within 10 feet, or the detpack as a weapon belonging to the same class, and it maintains thst star wars feeling, it will be a good game. I think that the casual appeal of SWBF2 really scares a lot of us, and I understand those concerns. Some change won't hurt the series...and let's be honest, there are a lot of questionable things in SWBF already, like the jet trooper and the Droideka being useless, so some work on classes is needed.

And yes, I'm mad about the droideka being useless, it's a killing machine that scares Jedi away, and in SWBF all you need to do is run behind it and wait for its shields to go down, then it's bye bye deka 

That has now been fixed. 

I didn't know Waldo had roid rage

Yea, basically how I feel too. Why do you guys want SWBF3 when you like SWBF1 better than its sequel?! SWBF3 would just build on SWBF2. So yea. No that it wouldn't be a good game but it wouldn't be SWBF.

Because SWBF1 no longer has support from Lucasarts, and there are not as many people playing it now as there would be with a SWBF3. Since SWBF3 wouldn't be made by pandemic, it would not be like SWBF1 or SWBF2, but would instead be completely different. I think that a more modern take on the star wars universe in an FPS setting would be great. Modern shooters are not bad, and just because a potential SWBF3 wouldn't be like the original SWBF, does not mean it wouldn't feel like a massive star wars campaign.

Franchises have to evolve in order to get people to keep playing them; A lot of people complain about Halo 4 diverging from Halo 2 and how they just want Halo 2 remade with better graphics, but what would that really accomplish? I don't know if I want to play the same thing remade.

Same...I will try this out this weekend.

All that I ask, is that somehow somebody manages to put in a Santa asset, preferably with sleigh and all 

It's unfortunate this got cancelled so close to completion.

However, the one thing I've always wondered, is why this project never got passed on to another competent developer?

Obviously, Free Radical had their own issues, and Lucasarts wasn't helping matters at all, but why didn't this game move someplace else to get further development going?

I just can't believe that Lucasarts would cancel a game that would almost certainly ship millions of copies, bring star wars back into video gaming in a big way, possibly set up a competitive scene similar to COD/Halo, and hype up the next generation of star wars movies set to come out in 2015.

It's all a brilliant plan, but nobody's pounced on it. Why?

heh i guess i know what my next summerjob will be :-3

I think you should reconsider getting a job with better security, you never know when rebels with X-wings will come and destroy your workplace 

This should definitely be our country's first priority 

If I played at all, it would generally be in the evening/late night. I've been really busy with school though, and I haven't been able to play much SWBF. I will be on more in a couple weeks, when finals are over.

Why not make a contest for a new header? All we need is the size of the banner.

I think that's a very good idea.

Well, after the Clone wars were over, clones had to find some sort of job
