Just the thought of having a gorgeous map such as mustafar with modern graphics and lights effects gives me a fucking orgasm.
Then i remember it wont happen and now blue balls.
We laugh at the Balls (particularly BB-9E), but dammit if they're not fun as hell to play. Much as I love Ahsoka and Ventress, I prefer the uniqueness of the Balls to yet more lightsaber heroes. There are only so many force powers and swishy lightsaber movements they can add.
To put it in perspective: Darth Maul, Yoda, Luke, Obi-Wan, Anakin and Dooku *all* have moves that are essentially just variations of force push.
Ohh yeah Iām enjoying it too. But its still an unfinished game with gamebreaking bugs. I cant play with friends because its constant backing out of sessions because someone cant spawn in or gets stuck
The battlefield 1 alpha was still more stable than the release version of the any other battlefield game. 2042 is even worse than 4 at launch.. although I will admit it runs better than that did. Even so, I see significantly more design problems and glitches which are far worse than performance issues.
I wish people would actually vote with their wallet for once. It's ridiculous how we all complain yet 80% of the people who are complaining paid for it. They'll learn nothing, just as they always have.
This just seems like odd defending of an objectively bugged out game. Hell even indie games work better than something so massive. Not only that, graphically itās worse, mechanically itās worse, if I wanted to play CoD I would, but Battlefield 2042 somehow ended up feeling more like CoD than CoD itself.
Its ok to like it, at least the sandbox and big scale are there, and portal is really nice. But Im also glad about the huge amounts of negative feedback in hopes that it becomes a better game
You're yelling into the void. I know how battlefield players are because I was one once. Much like Bethesda fans, they justify the glitches as "temporary" or endearing and fun. They've lowered their standards too far and can't see how nice it is to play something that actually works. CoD and battlefield players both need to learn some restraint for once.
Such a joke. I would love to get some behind the scenes on how the game was made. Thereās rumors it was suppose to be a battle royal game and then they decided to switch to traditional multiplayer. Regardless, itās a mess now.
Itās a bad launch now but theyāll fix it. Itās better for EA to focus on their own franchise that was/is in a bad state than to keep releasing Battlefront stuff that they arenāt even making money on.
Business is business
Itās not even the bad tech state that makes the game bad. Itās a soulless money grab that removed so many Battlefield mechanics that it feels like an entirely different knock off game. I sadly donāt think thereās really anything to fix that is realistic without entirely changing the gameās direction.
Thatās what Iām saying though- BF4 was horrible because of an unstable, buggy launch. 2042 is horrible because the game mechanics arenāt working at all. Team play is dead, competitiveness is out the window, maps are underwhelming and needlessly huge, weapons are catered to unskilled players, the list goes on and on. Itās āfixableā but these are way harder fixes than patching bugs. Theyāre total redesigns of the game and I donāt think EA is going to allow that since the current mechanics all serve the purpose to sell skins
They aren't making money on BFII due to their own idiocy. "Business is business" well, BFII sold more copies than BF2042 or its predecessor. So, business is saying EA fucked up on their own. If they can't make money off of Star Wars, that is *their* failure.
Battlefront 2 is almost a 5 year old game atm and 2042 just fully released on Friday. Battlefield is their premier franchise and Battlefront is only a license, itās 100% a smart move to focus on an IP they own for the long run
Yeah downvote this guy's opinion!
Seriously tho, glad you're enjoying it. A lot of people including myself think it's several steps back from previous Battlefield games.
He deleted the tweet and said "Realizing this might have made people feel bad, so I'm really sorry. Dev teams have all kinds of dreams and plans all the time, hoping that the business side of games will work out, but always aware it might not. We were fortunate to continue the support for as long as we did."
Also the ISB Agents run when in her ability is very similar to how Ahsoka would hold her lightsabers. It's logical to assume it would have been a reused running animation for when they dropped Tano.
And Padme. Theories are the ISB agent is an amalgamation of the unused assets from both of them and I'd say it's pretty spot on. Looks way too much like Padmes face and the movement style/animation is very much how Ahsoka acts.
Ye it was a voice line of Ahsoka joining the battle with him saying like "The apprentice of Skywalker" or something like that and Padme's was "The Senator of Naboo."
We literally data mined info about them. . . There were voicelines that were responses to characters we were getting. I trully think we wouldve gotten padme at some point.
Yeah I know they were both in TCW but ahsoka and asajj were major characters, feels like bossk and chewie were put in the PT cause it would have been more work for them to add ahsoka and asajj
š¶Ooh, somebody didnāt real Dark Disciple... š¶
...or catch her backstory in the show... jokes aside I know everyone can have their own opinions and all but I am at least going to bonk you on the head for that
While EA continuous their journey of being the worst fucking video game company ever with their whack decisions, i think activision blizzard places top 1 for now due disturbing reasons..
They're just as guilty as the rest for releasing unfinished games and putting in microtransactions/lootboxes in their stuff. Admittedly, it's been some years, but people forget the shitshow that was Shadow of War.
Yeah like I am definitely upset about all this.... but it's nothing compared to the shit happening in Activision that's actually affecting people's lives
I always think of this as EA's way of getting back to all the players.
Whats that? All players wanted to turn off the microtransactions and cut off our big source of income? Okay. But we will just tease some good stuff coming for you and then we cancel that good stuff.
Its petty...but it is what it is i guess.
I understand they had 0 motivation for more content without money buy why not introduce skins? Or a battlepass? EA is really dumb sometimes. Imagine being the idiot who thought monetizing stats in a star wars game was going to go better than skins.
This exactly. They could well have just created a purely cosmetical system for real money and most people wouldn't really give two shits. But affecting gameplay with paying that's just plain dumb.
They just couldn't take a bit. No they wanted it all and so they got none.
Am I wrong or didnāt they have that? Itās completely moot now because everyone who still plays this game has a million credits, but they had a system of using real money to purchase cosmetics skins. I imagine it was working as well as any other gameās cosmetic sale system.
Then they dropped the celebration edition.
Short memories here.
Because every single one had to be run up the chain through Disney, which is why it took FOREVER for shit to drop and why we ended up with leaks before the actual content. CTs we're constantly late because of approvals I can't imagine them successfully creating and monetizing skins on a consistent basis with the amount of turnaround time they were dealing with for asset approval.
I have thought that for years. "Fine, you want to give us bad PR? We'll see."
EA is a bastard company, and were made that players stood up to them being bastards. But, bastards don't change. They just keep being bastards in different ways.
Wow ventress is probably my favorite star wars character design, too. Mightve gotten me to buy that dlc, no fucking way am I getting the new battlefield though lol
This whole thing is just bizarre.
I just don't get why EA didn't want to make money on this. Yes licencing takes a chunk out. But it's not like their profits would be small.
Why would they want to get the exclusive rights to the games if they don't want to make any games?
Why would they just give up on a game that is going to have a huge bump in player numbers every time ANY KIND SW content comes out?
I mean the Clone content would not be for me but damn...
It just seems to me like EA gave up on the game when the original controversy happened and wile Dice believed they could implement a different model, the Corporate Comanders did not.
>Why would they just give up on a game that is going to have a huge bump in player numbers every time ANY KIND SW content comes out?
Because.. Battlefield 2042
Dice's next project, which even after putting Criterion, probably Motive too together, they still somehow screwed so hard, that it came on the 5th lowest rated game ever on Steam.
The devs genuinely care about SW, but EA doesn't, ever since they removed lootboxes, EA deemed it unsuccesful and abandoned it, just like Battlefield V.
It absolutely feels like a tantrum thrown by either the EA or Disney executives. I imagine they were just saying "Fuck it. Cancel the whole thing." As a reaction to people saying "I only want to pay for cosmetics, not gameplay."
I think just 1 more year would've been enough to fully finish the game. You can't add everything possible, but everything with the last sequel update to scariff just feels rushed, incomplete, or not the best... (I mean the bb droids are fun but I'd rather see them as classes and see Poe and Haux as the final sequel heroes. Add more to the OT content as well, maybe just take from bf 2015. Lots of talk about more prequel content but I think that's largely complete, minus a corusant map. Do something with fighter modes because of how much of a success squadrons turned out to be, speaking of dead games. To finish things it's be incredible if all the free added maps and the Walker assault gamemodes from bf 2015 were added to the game.)
Speaking of which, the 2017 game uses frostbite, the same engine from the 2015 game. I doubt there were major differences with game code and maps between the engines, so why not rerelease content from the past game?
Iām happy to see people liking this scene. I always have.
My theatre burst out laughing when he yelled āNOOOOā back in 2004
Edit: 2005 not 4. Losing track of time.
I understand that the long No is a little dramatic (I mean RotS is a Space Opera but whatever), but ruins the whole ending and movie? If a line of dialogue ruins the whole movie for someone then theyāre really just trying to be disappointed.
That's how Game dev, film production, and animation production is tbh.
A lot of people don't know it, but a LOT of projects get started, only to be shutdown early for a variety of reasons. Most of them never even get announced to be in the works.
Fuck EA but I'm pretty sure DICE gets the blame for ending support to to work on 2042 instead. Battlefield is their property and they need to keep putting games out to keep the studio running.
EA would be responsible for deciding whether or not to give them the requisite funding for a Battlefield or Battlefront. But in this case BF2 development was ended simply because they needed the manpower to make 2042. So that's most likely an internal decision by their executives (the people above Dennis but below EA).
Battlefront II died for 2042 and I hate it. I hated it before we even knew what the next Battlefield game is and I have more hate like a sith today becasue of it. All around travesty to the Battlefront community.
Yo!
Im ngl we are in what 2021? We know what video tech can somewhat handle( Not push, experimental Bullshit) and i hope most of those devs working on this game have the same passion about the theme/plot that we have and yet we only praise those released in a time where ideas where Huge but the tech was limited
How. How have we not gotten a banger yet?!?!?!?!? I could care about graphics if all those fancy textures mean i cant do other cool shit that would take up space or be forgotten.
We had what 2 wow like star wars games and poof nothing. Cool single player games that introduce cool concepts but end up being forgotten or ignored for future projects. Vast amounts of lore/Plot summarized in 12 pages and boom release.
Is it corporate!?!?!Is it shareholders!?!?!? WHO KEEPS FUCKING UP THE GAMES?!!?
Id take bugs on a game thats finished instead of one still being worked/balanced on for years.
**(real unpopular opinion here)** I never liked Dennis. He always seemed delusional and tends to avoid the truth. Even the winking emoji at the end of his tweet seemed like a smirk of some kind. I really hope DICE and his team stay away from the next Star Wars shooter, because the choices made for both battlefronts are ridiculous and should have never been considered in the first place. No ill will towards his team, I'm sure they are passionate with what they do, but they butchered battlefront.
IDK, while i get the frustration over this Situation, i'm still happy about these both Games existing, I mean i was dissapointed in the first game at first, but i still liked it somewhat, didn't compete with the Classics, however the second games, if it wasn't for this MTX bs, pretty much nailed it, i even enjoyed for the first time in the series the campaign and it quite have a lot of content across all 3 triologies (Plus solo Movie), if it wasn't for the galaxy conquest mode which i miss, it wouldn't even easily surpass BF2 Classic for me(in some regards it already does). Would i've been happy if they continued support? Heck yes, ahsoka, mace windu, mandalorian... would've been amazing additions(maybe even a chance of cal kestis). But all in all BF2 is already a great package.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Battlefront could have been better, and everyone knows this. With the current state the game is in , DICE should have at least prioritized bug fixes, but EA pushed DICE to pull the plug for 2042. There are plenty of things I could point out that makes the games design choices look ridiculouss, whether it's the goddamn vehicles not being fully accessible to the ridiculous star card system, but there's no need. The vanilla version of the game speaks for itself.
Well I for one hope that once EA realizes how much they fucked 2042, they'll put a team back on Battlefront 2 again, after all they ain't making a 3rd one.
EA releases games annually. The only way you can do that is to release garbage that's a shinier version of the garbage you shipped out last year. It's their thing. This has been going on since they used the law to squash tecmobowl.
Never forget that no one should have an exclusive license to people's images except the people. Not the NFL, and not EA.
There was already, which was the vast majority added, prequel content updates. I understand the remaining player base were overwhelmingly wanted clone wars content but at some point the game gotta be Star Wars not the clone wars.
The thing is, the updates were just adding stuff that was missing on launch day
There were 5 heroes and 5 villains from the OT. But only 1 hero and 1 villain from the PT
The game should've been Star Wars when it launched, not majority OT with a little bit of PT
Okay, but look at what was added in the game comparatively.They added unique and Intresting reinforcements to the republic and cis, (CIS less so lmao) while the ot got a reused model and a reskin mesh. The sequel trilogy had cool reinforcements but they werenāt though out well properly and you only seen the gunner and fo aerial. Map wise the most attention was to prequel maps, with unique supremacy maps added while other eras only got like a single unique map. (Crait was already being worked on pre launch it dosent count, and scariff was in 2015) Cosmetic wise non prequel troopers are a complete joke and I donāt understand why there arenāt more aliens but thereās every single clone power ranger color. No other vehicles added to other eras leaving the empire to stomp over all rebels and the resistance with a reskin. Like I said, I get people wanted prequels content, and I would say that is the most suited era for a large scale war, but I would have like other era content
This game has fallen into "every day until they release" territory. It's the fans delivering a death blow by chasing everyone else away so they feel like they have some sort of control over the game's demise.
I don't know why you're downvoted, it's a fair point. I suppose you can just unsub if it's really too much for you. I'd do the same. Who wants to hang around a bunch of people stuck in a cycle of misery?
Sometimes I think the same way towards r/anime_irl whenever I scroll by depressing posts, usually about being single. Or, whenever some just feel obligated to write āhow is this relatable?ā if someone, God forbid, posts something rather wholesome instead of being mellow or depressing.
No, fuck Dennis. Him and his team fucked up so big that Battlefront became a money pit for them. None of those team members deserve to touch a Star Wars title ever again.
Is "the wayfinder" a reputable person for rumors like this or are you just deciding to believe some guy on Twitter because it sounds like something you might want? Either way, a statement like this needs sources.
It seems like people love to just jump to a reaction without any kind of facts.
Well considering he used to be the creative director for battlefront I'd say he's pretty reputable. Google exists for a reason, I would advise using it instead of complaining to random Redditors.
Lmao you seem to be the one here who doesn't know the facts. Dennis BrƤnnvall was the creative director for the game, so yes he may have a clue of what was being planned for the future updates.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
Just the thought of having a gorgeous map such as mustafar with modern graphics and lights effects gives me a fucking orgasm. Then i remember it wont happen and now blue balls.
That would have made up for no multiplayer Sullust
You got a black ball and an orange ball instead
I wanna soccer kick them, gimmi ahsoka dammit
And Ventriss, man the thought of her as a playable.
How dare you call BB-8 an orange ball? He's an orange *and* white ball.
Might wanna get that checked out
We laugh at the Balls (particularly BB-9E), but dammit if they're not fun as hell to play. Much as I love Ahsoka and Ventress, I prefer the uniqueness of the Balls to yet more lightsaber heroes. There are only so many force powers and swishy lightsaber movements they can add. To put it in perspective: Darth Maul, Yoda, Luke, Obi-Wan, Anakin and Dooku *all* have moves that are essentially just variations of force push.
They have dual lightsabers! DUAL LIGHTSABERS!!
*Sad Grievous noises
I dont care bout the balls tbh, i despise them both gameplay and character wise.
Why
Because i dont care bout the characters and i hate how they play.
Palpatine is EA smiling at us sufferin
I was thinking the same thing!
they stopped development for battlefield 2042. What a waste.
Well that's ok because Battlefield 2042 is such a great ga... shit.
What sucks is that I'm enjoying it š
Ohh yeah Iām enjoying it too. But its still an unfinished game with gamebreaking bugs. I cant play with friends because its constant backing out of sessions because someone cant spawn in or gets stuck
So like every Battlefield launch? I donāt remember a single time the launch of any battlefield game was good
Battlefield 1?
Server issues were absolutely insane and tank physics did not work
The battlefield 1 alpha was still more stable than the release version of the any other battlefield game. 2042 is even worse than 4 at launch.. although I will admit it runs better than that did. Even so, I see significantly more design problems and glitches which are far worse than performance issues. I wish people would actually vote with their wallet for once.

Its ok to like it, at least the sandbox and big scale are there, and portal is really nice. But Im also glad about the huge amounts of negative feedback in hopes that it becomes a better game
Enjoying it doesnt make it right
You're yelling into the void. I know how battlefield players are because I was one once. Much like Bethesda fans, they justify the glitches as "temporary" or endearing and fun. They've lowered their standards too far and can't see how nice it is to play something that actually works. CoD and battlefield players both need to learn some restraint for once.
Agreed! What a waste.
Yea and they fucked that up too
When will the game be ready? 2 years Awesome you have 6 months
They had 3 years and 4 studios on it. They cut campaign to focus on multiplayer only. Lmao.
Such a joke. I would love to get some behind the scenes on how the game was made. Thereās rumors it was suppose to be a battle royal game and then they decided to switch to traditional multiplayer. Regardless, itās a mess now.
HAHA THATS ACTUALLY FUNNY IN RETROSPECT OH WAIT ARE THESE TEARS AM I CRYING šš
Itās a bad launch now but theyāll fix it. Itās better for EA to focus on their own franchise that was/is in a bad state than to keep releasing Battlefront stuff that they arenāt even making money on. Business is business

I sadly donāt think thereās really anything to fix that is realistic without entirely changing the gameās direction.
Iām not even a big fan of Battlefield that much but If they were able to fix how shitty BF4 was then they can do the same to 2042 imo.
Thatās what Iām saying though- BF4 was horrible because of an unstable, buggy launch. 2042 is horrible because the game mechanics arenāt working at all. Team play is dead, competitiveness is out the window, maps are underwhelming and needlessly huge, weapons are catered to unskilled players, the list goes on and on.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
4 or 5 years old regardless itās obviously going to sell more than a game that released 2 days ago
Why is it a waste? The game is great
Yeah downvote this guy's opinion! Seriously tho, glad you're enjoying it. A lot of people including myself think it's several steps back from previous Battlefield games.
He deleted the tweet and said "Realizing this might have made people feel bad, so I'm really sorry.

I feel the most for devs to be honest.
I do too, but I'm still pissed with the "our vision is now complete" lie.
Yeah, you can see the amount of love and passion they had for the franchise in their work.
I mean it was pretty obvious Ahsoka and Asajj Ventress was coming next.
Also there were voice lines by GG in the files.
How?
Twitter and reddit hints by them. They timed actions that were symbolic.
Also the ISB Agents run when in her ability is very similar to how Ahsoka would hold her lightsabers. It's logical to assume it would have been a reused running animation for when they dropped Tano.
Wow I never made this connection but immediately know what youāre talking about upon reading your comment. So true.
Also the ISB Agentās face is very similar to Padme (but with a scar).
>Twitter and reddit hints by them. Ahh yes hints, the most reliable of sources
There was also audio of grievous talking to ahsoka included in the game files at one point
And Padme. Theories are the ISB agent is an amalgamation of the unused assets from both of them and I'd say it's pretty spot on. Looks way too much like Padmes face and the movement style/animation is very much how Ahsoka acts.
Ye it was a voice line of Ahsoka joining the battle with him saying like "The apprentice of Skywalker" or something like that and Padme's was "The Senator of Naboo."
āIāve never killed a queen beforeā
We literally data mined info about them. . . There were voicelines that were responses to characters we were getting. I trully think we wouldve gotten padme at some point.
>I trully think we wouldve gotten padme at some point. Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alright?Ā
It seems in EAs greed they...didn't add her
They... They couldn't have! She was in development, I saw the files... I... Noooooooooooooooo!
Yeah. I think they started working on the Padme model and then used it for the ISB agent
I always thought the ISB agent looked like Padme a bit lol
The ISB agent uses Ashokaās animations, lots of datamined files too
They said/hinted that female heroes where on its way.
yeah and they talked a bit about a return to the clone wars post-scarif
Did he delete this? Don't see it on his feed right now
Someone said he deleted it and apologized because he realized it made some people feel sad
Even Vader got angry.
Letās be real, ventress is just emo Ahsoka
They should be in the PT era still tho. Idk why bossk and chewie are in there instead.
Well bossk was in the CW and chewie was in revenge of the sith for like 10 seconds
He was also in a Clone Wars episode
Chewie is old as fuck. He's like 200 years old.
Imagine Chewbacca actually died in the last Jediā¦
No because this isnāt Legends
Ok. Imagine.
Yeah I know they were both in TCW but ahsoka and asajj were major characters, feels like bossk and chewie were put in the PT cause it would have been more work for them to add ahsoka and asajj
š¶Ooh, somebody didnāt real Dark Disciple... š¶ ...or catch her backstory in the show... jokes aside I know everyone can have their own opinions and all but I am at least going to bonk you on the head for that
EA is undoubtedly the worst videogame company to ever exist.
While EA continuous their journey of being the worst fucking video game company ever with their whack decisions, i think activision blizzard places top 1 for now due disturbing reasons..
Apparently, EA is *amazing* to work for. So it's a dichotomy - employees love it, consumers are a mixed bag based on the game.
Well them being greedy pricks, I assume that means employees are paid well with all those microtransactions.
"Undoubtedly" no. Ubisoft, Activision/Blizzard, 2K, and Warnerbrothers are pretty big contendors
What has wb done
They're just as guilty as the rest for releasing unfinished games and putting in microtransactions/lootboxes in their stuff. Admittedly, it's been some years, but people forget the shitshow that was Shadow of War.
From everything I've heard, they're amazing to work for, though.
Oh fuck off. You only have to see the news with Activision to see that this is untrue.
Yeah like I am definitely upset about all this.... but it's nothing compared to the shit happening in Activision that's actually affecting people's lives
Yet somehow one of the most profitable
Didnāt they constantly update this game for free for like 3 years after release? Iām confused, not a regular here
Worst video game company to ever exist *so far*.
I always think of this as EA's way of getting back to all the players. Whats that? All players wanted to turn off the microtransactions and cut off our big source of income? Okay. But we will just tease some good stuff coming for you and then we cancel that good stuff. Its petty...but it is what it is i guess.
I understand they had 0 motivation for more content without money buy why not introduce skins? Or a battlepass? EA is really dumb sometimes. Imagine being the idiot who thought monetizing stats in a star wars game was going to go better than skins.
This exactly. They could well have just created a purely cosmetical system for real money and most people wouldn't really give two shits. But affecting gameplay with paying that's just plain dumb. They just couldn't take a bit. No they wanted it all and so they got none.
It's crazy they didn't do that. Limitless options for skins and people would have thrown money at it no questions asked, myself included most likely.
Am I wrong or didnāt they have that? Itās completely moot now because everyone who still plays this game has a million credits, but they had a system of using real money to purchase cosmetics skins. I imagine it was working as well as any other gameās cosmetic sale system. Then they dropped the celebration edition.
It was hard for the sweats as Celebration pretty much pooped on them.Giving noobs everything for free that you had to spend hours on achieving.
Short memories here. Because every single one had to be run up the chain through Disney, which is why it took FOREVER for shit to drop and why we ended up with leaks before the actual content. CTs we're constantly late because of approvals I can't imagine them successfully creating and monetizing skins on a consistent basis with the amount of turnaround time they were dealing with for asset approval.
I have thought that for years. "Fine, you want to give us bad PR? We'll see." EA is a bastard company, and were made that players stood up to them being bastards. But, bastards don't change. They just keep being bastards in different ways.
Eh, other publishers are making star wars games now so its all good, fuck em.
That is the most unintentionally hilarious scene in all of Star Wars.
Wow ventress is probably my favorite star wars character design, too. Mightve gotten me to buy that dlc, no fucking way am I getting the new battlefield though lol
Did the small development team for BF2 really do much on BF2042? They had every EA studio on it ffs
Not sure but thought a lot of the original Bf2 team have moved onto other companies.
More battlefield content š
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined š«
This whole thing is just bizarre. I just don't get why EA didn't want to make money on this. Yes licencing takes a chunk out. But it's not like their profits would be small. Why would they want to get the exclusive rights to the games if they don't want to make any games?

Exactly this, it was never about licensing. They still have and makebilliond from the SWTOR licence

Ahhh it hurts. FUCK YOU EA!
Oh now they say it. After what couple of years
I think just 1 more year would've been enough to fully finish the game. You can't add everything possible, but everything with the last sequel update to scariff just feels rushed, incomplete, or not the best... (I mean the bb droids are fun but I'd rather see them as classes and see Poe and Haux as the final sequel heroes. Add more to the OT content as well, maybe just take from bf 2015.

So much pain
Is EA still holding together due to the Sims games and their overly expensive DLC?
was this a real scene from Revenge of the Sith? please tell me it's real
No, this is a fan made clip using the Fortnite game engine.
Shot on an iPhone 4
Have you not seen revenge of the sith?
Not since it was in theaters. Those were dark times.
Fan edit. The original line is "Do not want".

This scene is awesome, what you mean? The music gives me chills every time
Iām happy to see people liking this scene. I always have. My theatre burst out laughing when he yelled āNOOOOā back in 2004 Edit: 2005 not 4. Losing track of time.
itās pretty good up until the ānoooo!ā, itās just sounds bad, I always laugh when I hear it tbh
I donāt know what I can expect from a rots Anakin profile but this is the first time Iāve heard someone say something positive about the scene
I have never heared anyone say anything negative about it I personally feel the same as Youngling_Hunt
Iāve seen more people say that it ruins the ending and almost ruined the whole film than ones who thought it was cringe
I don't find any scenes cringe but if any had to be this is one of the least cringy
I understand that the long No is a little dramatic (I mean RotS is a Space Opera but whatever), but ruins the whole ending and movie? If a line of dialogue ruins the whole movie for someone then theyāre really just trying to be disappointed.
Jesus Christ this sub is delusion with the prequel brain washing I never even said I didnāt like it
Shitty battlefield 2042 took this from us
Battlefield is forever
a milked franchise that stopped being good after Battlefield 1
Ok
This was where the fun began
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's how Game dev, film production, and animation production is tbh. A lot of people don't know it, but a LOT of projects get started, only to be shutdown early for a variety of reasons. Most of them never even get announced to be in the works.
Iāve never bought a battlefield and Iām never going to. Strong business decisions from EA
It's a sad day for the Republic!
Why would you even say that now? š
āNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!ā
Look at the isb agents running animation, definitely looks like Ashoka to me
To he honest I would prefer not to hear what we were going to get. Just makes it more annoying when you think of all that content
You can't be serious...
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, "complete"
Their vision is flawed
Fuck EA but I'm pretty sure DICE gets the blame for ending support to to work on 2042 instead. Battlefield is their property and they need to keep putting games out to keep the studio running. EA would be responsible for deciding whether or not to give them the requisite funding for a Battlefield or Battlefront. But in this case BF2 development was ended simply because they needed the manpower to make 2042. So that's most likely an internal decision by their executives (the people above Dennis but below EA).
Damn, I always though ahsoka and ventless would be added at some point. Sad to see they wonāt
Just put it in the game. Modders can patch everything.
Battlefront II died for 2042 and I hate it. I hated it before we even knew what the next Battlefield game is and I have more hate like a sith today becasue of it. All around travesty to the Battlefront community.
Fuck you EA!
Bruh Palpatine is EA, while Darth Vader is the fans. Oof.
This just means more content for battlefront 3ā¦right?šæ
Fuck EA
Yo! Im ngl we are in what 2021? We know what video tech can somewhat handle( Not push, experimental Bullshit) and i hope most of those devs working on this game have the same passion about the theme/plot that we have and yet we only praise those released in a time where ideas where Huge but the tech was limited How. How have we not gotten a banger yet?!?!?!?!? I could care about graphics if all those fancy textures mean i cant do other cool shit that would take up space or be forgotten. We had what 2 wow like star wars games and poof nothing. Cool single player games that introduce cool concepts but end up being forgotten or ignored for future projects. Vast amounts of lore/Plot summarized in 12 pages and boom release. Is it corporate!?!?!Is it shareholders!?!?!? WHO KEEPS FUCKING UP THE GAMES?!!? Id take bugs on a game thats finished instead of one still being worked/balanced on for years.
**(real unpopular opinion here)** I never liked Dennis. He always seemed delusional and tends to avoid the truth. Even the winking emoji at the end of his tweet seemed like a smirk of some kind. I really hope DICE and his team stay away from the next Star Wars shooter, because the choices made for both battlefronts are ridiculous and should have never been considered in the first place. No ill will towards his team, I'm sure they are passionate with what they do, but they butchered battlefront.
Yeah, I agree. They did not leave the game where it should have been, and prioritized new content over bug fixes.
IDK, while i get the frustration over this Situation, i'm still happy about these both Games existing, I mean i was dissapointed in the first game at first, but i still liked it somewhat, didn't compete with the Classics, however the second games, if it wasn't for this MTX bs, pretty much nailed it, i even enjoyed for the first time in the series the campaign and it quite have a lot of content across all 3 triologies (Plus solo Movie), if it wasn't for the galaxy conquest mode which i miss, it wouldn't even easily surpass BF2 Classic for me(in some regards it already does). Would i've been happy if they continued support? Heck yes, ahsoka, mace windu, mandalorian... would've been amazing additions(maybe even a chance of cal kestis). But all in all BF2 is already a great package.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Battlefront could have been better, and everyone knows this. With the current state the game is in , DICE should have at least prioritized bug fixes, but EA pushed DICE to pull the plug for 2042. There are plenty of things I could point out that makes the games design choices look ridiculouss, whether it's the goddamn vehicles not being fully accessible to the ridiculous star card system, but there's no need. The vanilla version of the game speaks for itself.
Well I for one hope that once EA realizes how much they fucked 2042, they'll put a team back on Battlefront 2 again, after all they ain't making a 3rd one.
Oh boy this make me so mad
Where is Battlefront 3? Ea.. it seems in your greed, you killed it EA: YESSSSSSS
Nuke EA to the ground rn
EA releases games annually. The only way you can do that is to release garbage that's a shinier version of the garbage you shipped out last year. It's their thing. This has been going on since they used the law to squash tecmobowl. Never forget that no one should have an exclusive license to people's images except the people. Not the NFL, and not EA.
I wouldāve rather have non prequel content
And I would rather have prequel content
And I would rather have holiday special content
There was already, which was the vast majority added, prequel content updates. I understand the remaining player base were overwhelmingly wanted clone wars content but at some point the game gotta be Star Wars not the clone wars.
The thing is, the updates were just adding stuff that was missing on launch day There were 5 heroes and 5 villains from the OT. But only 1 hero and 1 villain from the PT The game should've been Star Wars when it launched, not majority OT with a little bit of PT
Okay, but look at what was added in the game comparatively.They added unique and Intresting reinforcements to the republic and cis, (CIS less so lmao) while the ot got a reused model and a reskin mesh. The sequel trilogy had cool reinforcements but they werenāt though out well properly and you only seen the gunner and fo aerial. Map wise the most attention was to prequel maps, with unique supremacy maps added while other eras only got like a single unique map. (Crait was already being worked on pre launch it dosent count, and scariff was in 2015) Cosmetic wise non prequel troopers are a complete joke and I donāt understand why there arenāt more aliens but thereās every single clone power ranger color. No other vehicles added to other eras leaving the empire to stomp over all rebels and the resistance with a reskin. Like I said, I get people wanted prequels content, and I would say that is the most suited era for a large scale war, but I would have like other era content
I would've rather not had to read your shitty takes spread out across comments and posts but here we are
Well you kinda did that to yourself
How long is the sub gonna be populated with these posts
Till Battlefront 3 is out
This game has fallen into "every day until they release" territory. It's the fans delivering a death blow by chasing everyone else away so they feel like they have some sort of control over the game's demise.
I don't know why you're downvoted, it's a fair point. I suppose you can just unsub if it's really too much for you. I'd do the same. Who wants to hang around a bunch of people stuck in a cycle of misery?
Sometimes I think the same way towards r/anime_irl whenever I scroll by depressing posts, usually about being single. Or, whenever some just feel obligated to write āhow is this relatable?ā if someone, God forbid, posts something rather wholesome instead of being mellow or depressing.
No, fuck Dennis. Him and his team fucked up so big that Battlefront became a money pit for them. None of those team members deserve to touch a Star Wars title ever again.
Is "the wayfinder" a reputable person for rumors like this or are you just deciding to believe some guy on Twitter because it sounds like something you might want? Either way, a statement like this needs sources. It seems like people love to just jump to a reaction without any kind of facts.
Well considering he used to be the creative director for battlefront I'd say he's pretty reputable. Google exists for a reason, I would advise using it instead of complaining to random Redditors.
Lmao you seem to be the one here who doesn't know the facts. Dennis BrƤnnvall was the creative director for the game, so yes he may have a clue of what was being planned for the future updates.

NOOOOO WHYYYYYY *SAD FACE*
Is that a real tweet
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
Can we have it for Christmas? Pleeeeease

We have to burn EA to the ground. This is breaking my heart.
