    Trailer is dope. Wanna see if it stacks up to the first two though. Between this and the trailer for the film though, it makes me want to play the second one. It might be a good year to be a nerd.

    Battlefront" will focus on frenzied shoot-outs between up to 40 players portraying Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire forces. In a demonstration of the game's multiplayer mode, a team of jetpack-equipped rebels were shown carving their way through the woodsy Endor while Stormtroopers charged at them on foot, on speeders and within walkers, including a hulking AT-AT war machine.

    Other locales teased in game footage included the snowy Hoth, sandy Tatooine and gooey Sullust, a lava-spewing planet referenced in 1983's "Return of the Jedi," as well as many "Star Wars" games and novels, but rarely ever seen. "Battlefront" won't solely be centered on expendable ground troops. The game will reward sharpshooters with the ability to embody such iconic characters as bounty hunter Boba Fett and Sith baddie Darth Vader on the battlefield.

    "You can storm in as the Dark Lord himself," said "Battlefront" design director Niklas Fegraeus. "You can wield a lightsaber. You can Force choke the rebel ? , which is fun. Basically, you are the boss of the battle. This means that you, as Vader, can lead your team to victory — if you play well."

    The action will also take to the skies with players engaging in dogfights with TIE Fighters, X-wings and the Millennium Falcon, though the developers were coy about how battles would alternate between ground and air combat.

    "We wanted it to feel authentic to this universe," said "Battlefront" executive producer Patrick Bach. "You can get into these vehicles, from speeder bikes to X-wings, TIE fighters, AT-STs, AT-ATs. There's a wide range of vehicles that we wanted to realize. The difficulty with a game is that they need to be balanced with the troops on the ground."

    "Battlefront" will also include a free downloadable level available two weeks before "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" opens in theaters Dec. 18. It's set on Jakku, the battle-scarred desert planet glimpsed in "Force Awakens" teasers. The expansion, dubbed "Battle of Jakku," will explore the moment following "Return of the Jedi" when the New Republic confronted Imperial holdouts on the previously unseen Outer Rim enclave.

    "You never get to see it in the new movie, so it was this brilliant opportunity to recreate the Battle of Jakku, which you only see the remnants of in the movie," said Bach. "In the game, you actually get to play the Battle of Jakku. It's the same place from the new movie but 30 years earlier."

    ...
    Additional Info:
    -Has two player splitscreen
    -It sounds like there isn't a traditional campaign and something more akin to spec-ops from CoD
    -Modes vary from 8 players to 40 players
    -You can toggle between first and third person
    -There's flyable vehicles but no space battles
    -The 7 minute demo was on PS4, but there's no mention of the forthcoming trailer platform

    Titanfall mp didnt work for Titanfall either. You cant tell me if tf had a campaign ? would still be playing it. If call of duty and battlefield didnt have an campaign ? would still play them ? for years.

    The multiplayer worked really well. They just released it too early and relied too much on DLC and updates which is what seems to be happening here.

    This will be BF and HL, just with a Star Wars theme. I predict the copy and paste feel is gonna be prominent. Plus I'm seeing too much hype for this game and without any real footage of the final product.

    Star Wars Battlefront Features 12 Multiplayer Maps

    Star Wars Battlefront will boast 12 multiplayer maps when the game launches this holiday season.

    On the Star Wars Battlefront website, EA and DICE revealed the multiplayer map tally while discussing the creation of planet Sullust for Star Wars Battlefront. Sullust, which previously was only mentioned in Return of the Jedi, joins other confirmed locations Endor, Hoth and Tatooine as settings for arenas in the multiplayer-centric action game.

    In regard to Sullust, there are mentions (though not confirmed) that the lava planet may host four of the maps, based on various themes. "The overall look and feel for Sullust is very much Imperial and under construction, playing in locations within the planet such as a lava theme, sulfur theme, Death Star-inspired theme and lastly a mine theme," reads the EA and DICE blog post.

    Previously, Star Wars Battlefront producer Jesper Nielsen had confirmed that there would be more than eight maps in the game. Now, it's confirmed there are 12 multiplayer maps at launch, with two more free maps on the way afterward with the Battle of Jakku DLC.

    EA and DICE also hinted at a close-quarters combat mode when talking about the 12 launch maps. While some maps are designed for larger-scale battles like the Walker Assault mode, there are others "tailored to more intimate, close-quarters combat," according to the companies.

    With Star Wars Battlefront planned for a November release, EA and DICE will presumably pull back the curtain on much more of the action game at E3. EA is holding its hour-long press conference June 15.
