EA crushing dreams one announcement at a time.

TBH, people mad about AT-ATs are kind of pathetic. One vehicle is not drivable and the game is ruined? Lol... On another note, DICE has managed to cut out so much crap (space battles, galactic conquest, possibly no bot support, and possibly no instant action along with other crap). They better have a hell of an announcement at E3 if they wish to sell this half assed game.. Oh wait, they probably already have millions of guaranteed sales because Star Wars and see no need to put any effort into the game.

No...no...NO!!!!!!!!

Damnit dice...

[quote]1. There is no single player campaign, just a few missions depicting moments from the original trilogy that can be played solo or cooperatively. 2. There is no galactic conquest mode. 3. The max player count is capped at 40 across all platforms. When asked whether bots would be featured DICE responded with "no comment". 4. There are no space battles or fighting in orbit, and air units will be confined to the area above ground maps like in the Battlefield franchise. 5. The game will launch with only 4 playable planets, though how many maps will be set on each is unclear. 6. Only units and characters from the Original Trilogy will be featured. 7. The AT-AT walkers shown in the trailer and promotional stills will not be player controlled, and will instead follow a scripted path across the battlefield.[/quote]

Edited by Tino Calibrino: 5/2/2015 6:34:22 AMPutting it on rails was a smart decision. Have you ever played as the rebels on Hoth. Those things destroy. And you can still use the weapons on them.

Edited by Kayne McWrath: 4/23/2015 12:17:54 AMControlling an AT-AT would be pointless. They're giant and slow. Although I wouldn't mind having a kill-perk or something where you can do drone-like attacks from the cockpit or wherever. That might be cool.

Are people just moaning about everything EA/Dice are confirming? People barely used the AT-ATs and yet everyone is so butthurt about them being on rails, can't we just wait and see how good the gameplay is before anyone goes on about how bad the game will be. Can't anyone talk about how the graphics look good or how excited they are about it?
-
I just hope they don't do the same thing they did with Halo wars.
-
I played bf2 way to casually to know if the AT-AT was op, but I didn't even really mind being against them because it was fun to rope them up and trip them as the rebels. Sure one side had giant camel tanks and chicken walkers but the other side had flying vehicles. It wasnt an equal experience for both sides but because each had their own advantages it didnt seem that unbalanced to me. But I'm also a filthy casual so once again I could be very wrong.

Only EA could f up an beloved childhood game franchise
-
As far as we know, only on that one map and on that one mode....
-
The AT-AT was pretty much a baked robo-camel. It was so painfully slow. I think I used it twice.
-
Even though I'm dissapointed that you can't drive the AT-AT, I really like that yesterday one of the developers went on reddit and actually passionately defended the game. No developer on destiny ever says anything close to that, so I think its nice to see someone at DICE is passionate about this
-
Really the more I hear about this game the less hyped I become
-
Elite Squadron is better
-
Well, guess who just canceled their pre-order? :D
-
Makes a lot of strong points. It seems we will have to wait until e3 for more info.
-
ITT: People who were bad at Hoth try to excuse Dice and EA.
-
To be fair though that at at is gonna just be a spawn point/objective and on endor it wouldn't have any room for maneuvering so it would be useless to drive it in that instance. I am sure there will be plenty of drivable vehicles on other maps
-
All these Star Wars terms and references are drowning me because I have never played a star wars game or remember the movies so I'm as lost as a giraffe in Alaska but by the comments it seems something bad happened
-
It's gonna flop.
-
I'd imagine you can still get in the cockpit and shoot at people with the main turrets. If not... then this is truly disappointing.
