    So now that we've been playing Battlefront for over a month, and knowing that all future DLC will be set during the Original Trilogy, what are your opinions on the game and how do you think it can be improved for the sequel? What do you think Battlefront excels at and where do you think it doesn't?

    I personally, even though I do enjoy playing multiplayer, didn't understand why they made a book about a game without an original story (Twilight Company) instead of just making that story be the plot of the singleplayer campaign. Videogames have become one of the best ways of storytelling and I think it was a missed opportunity.

    Space battles may yet be included in future DLC but we'll have to wait and see. It's just how the industry works nowadays, the retail game is not the full game and you need to pay again to play all of it's content, but that's not going to change any time soon so as much as I would love to have all content day one-

    A lot of people have complained that there's just not enough things to do in the game but I never get tired of it, I think it's highly replayable and so much fun everytime. The Battle of Jakku DLC was a great addition, especially since it was free, and I'm confident people who don't want to pay so much for the Season Pass will get new free maps and game modes.

    Since the inevitable sequel won't happen until at least late 2017-2018 and Episode VIII will probably be in our shelves already, we need Sequel Trilogy content, not only Clone Wars stuff. Man I really want to play Darth Maul VS Kylo Ren.

    Whatever your opinion on this first game is, I think we can all agree they did a perfect job at recreating the feeling of Star Wars with the locations, vehicles, weapons... let's hope next time they keep that and build on that and make it the best Battlefront game ever.


    So that's my take on it, what do you guys love about the game? What would you change? What do you hope they change?

    Battlefront is the only game where I've both had an extreme amount of fun and been very disappointed. I think if they keep the gameplay mechanics, which are great and fast paced, but add more content, more to unlock, more to do, I'll love the sequel.

    Topic of this title is pretty misleading IMO, made me think it was about the original Battlefront II. Perhaps change the name to Battlefront IV because technically the sequel to the reboot is the 4th entry in the series? Food for thought.

    Anyway, I'm very pessimistic about a sequel to the reboot because of how the first one turned out. And because the publisher hasn't changed. (EA lived up to their reputation with that last game :/)

    The first thing I can say is when I Star Wars: Battlefront Kaufen, it reminded me why I love Star Wars in the first place. Battlefront has an amazing surface appeal but what it lacks is depth of design. The maps look fantastic but they lack focussed design. There are a many modes in this game; almost 9; but not all are satisfactory. At a point of time, you seem to get bored. The one thing I loved about Battlefront is how it looks and how it sounds. The sound design, dynamic lightings gives the feel of a nuanced detailed world which makes you fell good about the game.

    It's actually Battlefront 3...we had Battlefront 1 and 2 fOR PS2& PSP and all and now Year (2015) which is the third official entry . This op is being too optimistic in having a sequel as this game isn't built for sequels. He gaming industry these days has DLC and expansion packs unless there's a brand new story. SW stories all coincide directly within each other so DLC paid expansion packs are the most viable option both financially and critically .

    The game is beautiful. The developers definitely took their time trying to make each of the maps look and feel real. Lighting was gorgeous. Gameplay-wise, the game is fun, but the game was definitely content-light at first. Almost like they had left out half of the game.

    They are slowly fixing that, which is good, but I would like to see more content come the next title.

    My Wishlist for the next Battlefront:
    1. A campaign, or multiple campaigns.
    2. More planets.
    3. Prequel/Sequel Era content.
    4. Space Battles. Maybe with controllable frigates? ;)
    5. "Unique" units. Maybe as a Star Card, you could play as a special unit that has a gameplay style much different from standard characters. d
    6. More vehicles. The Rebels need some sort of vehicle to respond to the Imperials. Also, maybe some sort of way to make the AT-ATs controllable? And I would love to see bombers actually playable. Maybe even some low-altitude corvettes or something?
    7. More hero ships. I know we have Slave I and the Falcon, but more heroes had their own ships. Surely they could figure out a way to represent that?
    8. More heroes at launch.

    Yeah I thought that this game was always the best SW one there is...I actually am hoping that the next Battlefront being released , I think , next year or in 2018 is going to be like this one.

    Then it's good news for you since it's going to have more ST story stuff built in.

    I feel like more gamers will like Battlefront 2 cuz they actually have to time to make a good story and explore new planets which they failed in my opinion for the most part in Eas first Battlefront.

    @SKB Such a classic! I still remember the day I first got it. I've had multiple copies since then due to them always getting so scratched up. I finally have a fix for that and that is I have an online copy thanks to Steam! I haven't played the game in forever, tho. I downloaded so much DLC onto it from BF2 dedicated websites, it was hardly the same game anymore

    @SithSorcererofdeath If you can't find your copy, just buy it off Steam. I'm sure its pretty cheap now & you don't have to worry about always trying to find your CD version and putting it in all the time
