Played a little bit last night. Pretty dope. Im buying when it drops. Campaign is gonna be pretty insane i bet.

There will be no single player campaign or story mode, pretty much online MP or vs. Bots only...

huh

Star Wars: Battlefront will have AI-controlled enemies for single-player/co-op modes like Survival, but there won't be a proper single-player campaign for players to dig into. The reason for that, Electronic Arts Chief Operating Officer Peter Moore told Gamespot, is simple: Hardly anyone would bother playing it anyway.

Moore said decisions like this are made years in advance of a game's release, and that can sometimes lead to problems. "Between when a dev team starts work on a game, and when it finishes, the world becomes a different place. I remember when we started work on Star Wars: The Old Republic; at the time, the model to go for was subscription," he explained. "By the time we had the game ready, the model to go for wasn't subscriptions. That's why we had to stop the game, and rebuilt it as a free-to-play title with microtransactions, but even then there were some people who said they wanted to keep their subscriptions."

Responding to the suggestion that 'triple-A' games like Star Wars: Battlefront "traditionally" sell better with a single-player campaign than without, Moore said "you might be right," but that "very few people actually play the single-player on these kinds of games. That's what the data points to."

EA has said in the past that Star Wars: Battlefront was intended to be a multiplayer game right from the start, but I think this is the first time that anyone has been so open as to exactly why that is. Do you agree? Numbers don't lie, as they say, but would the presence of a single-player campaign make you more likely to buy the game? Or is the online action really where it's at?

"hardly anybody would bother playing it anyway." they don't know that. I've noticed lately that a lot of game developers are going cheap and taking the shortcut by skimping on the storymode and jumping on the online multiplayer bandwagon(gta v i'm looking at you). I've seen the first sign of this with golden eye wii. i'll let rockstar slide a little with that because they said the number of people who didn't finish gta IV cause them to make the decision for a smaller story mode with gta v. still though I feel that sacrificing story mode for online is a cheap money grab.
 
one more thing I have to say is this game better be heavy on content. lots of maps, customizations, unlockables, game modes etc.

Sir, that is a real bummer.

Cosign...

EA fucked up...

you can look at it as they fucked up or they saved themselves and all the backlash and criticism from fanboys if they made some half assed attempt at a story.

I like Titanfall that there is really no story in the traditional sense, but the "single player" stuff they offer is just a glorified tutorial for the MP matches

this game would have been perfect if it had a campaign mode similar to battlefront2. just a cutscene with narration from a character or two, luke , han etc. then you just go to the map and fight.
 
@playmaker88 's face kept getting in the way of my blaster. You down to play some tonight? got a fresh bag of bud, ready to destroy some empire and/or rebel scum.

if yall havent already, add jsum907 to PS4 and catch that battlefront fade this evening.

So yea I suck

2/12 first game

4/9 second game,

Niggaz killing the fuck outta me

Sounds like your Running straight into the battle crouch and walk slowly to the points also stay behind cover

I catch allot of people so thirsty to run in to battle running wily nilly all out in the open makes it easy for me to kill them take your time

Coming from counter strike go to this game my aim feels like its robotic that game really sharpens your aim for ever other game

I thought the visuals were pretty damn good tbh. The environment alone was very interesting, BUT, i wasnt impressed with the gameplay in my short time of playing. Gonna try and play some more this weekend, but initially, i wasnt blown away or anything.

yeah gfx seem pretty good i haven't checked my settings to see how high i had them on the game also played smooth seems very polished early on

i played it last nite but i forgot to turn it off so in the moring my kids saw it my son is and my lil girl is 9 idk y the girl was so interested but she wanted play it, my son knows a little bit about star wars

so i had one use the mouse and the other use the keyboard shit was straight comedy they where both shouting commands at each other like they where commanding a mech, they actually got a few kills the girl got a hang of aiming and shooting she always wasted a whole entire clip on an enemy but she got him sometimes two at a time idk how they manged with all the screaming and yelling at each other but they did it

my son noticed early on from watching star wars rebels in the storm troopers cant hit shit

so during the game he he goes "the white guys cant hit anything they soo bad hahahahahhaha even in the game they suck"

i wad dead

they went to school feeling like they truly accomplished something they actually won there first two games ( of course somebody was carrying them)

he carried that momentum to a 100 on his test

but.........

later on today we played and i tried out the other mode forgot the name but the 20 v 20 one

and we saw some guy controlling darth vader so both of is where like oooooooooooooooohhhhhhh coooool

but we where the imperials, then we saw luke and i was in my head i i gota kill this guy its gona cool as fuck if i shoot him in the face well i did and i killed him i was hyped but...............................................

i think i lost my son today he really thought i killed Luke skywalker he went to bed crying i tried rejoining a game 3-4 x so i could get a spot on the rebels when i finally did i didn't see like he was done with the day and went to bed i fell bad somewhat

 
Put a few rounds in. Lots of fun. Better when the two sides actually go after the objectives. Room full of people doing that was GOAT. People standing back trying to snipe make me wish the game had friendly fire on.
