STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT UPDATE!


STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT
UPDATE!

E3 is almost here. We will soon see Battlefront's debut on June 15 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles California. What are you excited to see? We will see when June 15 comes but for now lets take a look at Xbox Magazine's July issue of Battlefront!

So far the information that is in this magazine starting at page 26 to page 35. They tell us of how the game is made and that the developers basically used original movie props of the Original Trilogy of Star Wars to capture all the realism of each prop to make the game come to life. DICE has been working hard for the last 3 years to make this game. Tons of people have big concerns over the fact that Battlefront will be exactly like the previous Battlefield game series from DICE, it is not. DICE confirmed on page 26 on the picture of the rebels on Endor putting up a shield barrier from the AT-ST "It's completely rebuilt - It's not a version of another game we have made". 

FEATURES:
DICE also revealed that there will be a spawn feature called Red Two which is a trusty-five man squad feature to take place of the partner spawn which allows two players to spawn on each other to save traveling time, team up easily online and see each other on their HUDs  and share everything they've unlocked without any restriction. I think that is cool!. One of the things that people are having problems is the fact that there will not be iron sights on the weapons. Sometimes this can be a good thing or a bad thing. But when we played the original Battlefront games, who really aimed down to kill the enemy? The feel of no aiming down is going to bring something like what Halo had. Some did but majority did not. It appears that this game will be focusing on the first movies (IV,V,VI) with multiplayer maps set on Hoth, Tatooine and Endor. 
SULLUST
Players get to create their own battles during Muliplayer like you would at home playing with your Star Wars toys and ships and creating your own version of Star Wars. This helps bring our dreams to reality and you can fully customize your weapons with anything you want on it. For multiplayer there will be matched for 40 players for each game. adding 64 players like in the past battlefield games will reduce the crowding of each map. Space battles are not featured so far in this game because they feel that players should not be separated from infantry-on-infantry and vehicle-on-vehicle gameplay. Hopefully over the course of months for the DLC releases, they add in the space battle features. Maybe land to space feature? 

CAPTURING THE REALISM:
The realism behind the props, DICE employed Photogrammetry that recreates the props to make them stand out and get every inch of detail for say on a blaster or a thermal detonator or R2-D2. They used this technology on all of their props they borrowed and used for the game and generate 3D models. 

HEROES AND VILLAINS:
Heroes and villains was obviously coming back. What is Battlefront without H&V? The one thing that is new to this is for Darth Vader. Apparently they vamped the character up to the point where if you want to be him, you have to earn it. That's right. In Battlefront he will be basically be like the war boss of the game. If you get Vader, you are going to own the match.  


DICE is going to deliver something BIG to our consoles. After 10 years of waiting for a new Battlefront game after LucasArts canceled the original Battlefront 3 game that we were supposed to see and play back in 2007-2008, we get to see a even more explosive game experience ever produced from DICE. The game so far sounds promising, but will their promises and features they bring in capture our hearts and desires? That is the question that we must all wait for the answer once E3 comes on June 15, 2015 and when the game releases on November 16, 2015. The most important thing of all is that Battlefront is literally going to use ALL of the PS4 and XboxOne hardware delivering the true next generation gameplay.

If you have not pre-orderd Battlefront, you best do so so you can play the first DLC game of Battle of Jakku on December first or you will wait until December 8th to play the events of the battle's aftermath that we saw in The Force Awakens trailer #2.
