I just recently got Battlefront 3 despite all reason and reviews because I loved the first 2 games so much... .. ....

Annnd I feel nothing but pure regret. BF3 is so garbage I almost threw my console out the window.

This game is so trash in so many ways that it's utterly insulting to the consumer. I can't believe whoever the hell owns Starwars now would allow EA to disgrace the franchise as badly as the sad excuse of a game Battlefront 3 is.

EA has somehow managed to go BACKWARDS in the series so that BF3 somehow has FEWER features than the first 2

  • No Clone Wars
  • No Space Battles
  • No galactic conquest
  • No secondary weapons?????
  • No changing your class
  • Everything is '%%% of duty' style; There's a ridiculous grind-wall to unlock terribad 'loadouts' instead of just letting us chose our troops
  • No objectives? No command posts? No 'planetary bonuses'. No strategy.
  • 'Lord Vader' sounds like a 12 year old talking into a walkie talkie
  • The ridiculous hero banter has changed what was originally a glimpse of the gritty side of Starwars into another clusterfuk of comical circle-jerking.

EA has successfully managed to transform the Battlefront series into a sad excuse of a Call of Duty imitation. This game isn't even 20% done, it wouldn't even qualify as 'alpha' status to any reasonable developer. And here EA still has the balls to charge 60 dollars for the season past to download the 'upcoming' content AKA what should have been in the original friggen game.

DO NOT BUY THIS TRASH. It's utter filth and represents everything wrong with the gaming industry.

Disney shut down Lucas Arts (The creators of Battlefront 1 and 2) and then sold the rights to Battlefront to EA.

So, yeah. Blame Disney. Everyone does already.

Why buy the game then? They announced everything they didn't include months ago, most fans (including myself) went through their rants back then.

EA destroys everything, it's quite known fact . I'll never forgive them closing Westwood Studios, and then killing Command & Conquer series.

Pretty sure that's more what they were going for. Anyway, I agree for the most part. Coming from Battlefront 2, the new Battlefront feels like only half of one at most. Personally, my favorite part of the first two Battlefronts was playing the droids. Droids are cool. Episodes 1-3 might not hold up to everyone's nostalgia tinted standards, but I still liked the clone vs droid battles in Battlefront more than rebels vs empire. I miss my droids...

Why is Dice exempt from all the critisism? I mean, they had all the creative freedom and responsibility, didn't they?

Fuck Dice too, damn fanboys.

Not pirating anything that EA releases for the sole purpose of pissing them off

I like what boogie2988 said about it: that it's something you play for a month before you see the movie and after you come back from the movie, just a little thrown together thing for star wars fans.

I was very upset with it. I whipped out my old original xbox and played that battlefront. It's like 100900 times better. The new doesn't even seem finished
