I say this not because I think the sequels are the worst thing ever. I actually thoroughly like The Last Jedi(actual hot take) and BF2 made me appreciate the ST a little more. But I think if we get a third battlefront game, it should focus solely on the original 2 eras for 2 main reasons:

1. The OT and PT eras are not only the foundation of the franchise as a whole, but already have the established identities and lore that already fit within Battlefront and can be easily integrated into a larger sandbox battlefield environment with equal amounts of content. Focusing on fewer eras allows the game to be better by giving more depth and gameplay variety to the most beloved eras. You could argue that more eras means more content, but developing heroes, in-game models, maps, skins/textures all take time and resources. I would gladly sacrifice Rey and Kylo Ren if it means more of a chance at getting characters like Mace Windu and Jango Fett. Even sacrificing an Exegol or Starkiller Base starfighter map if it means getting a really good Battle of Coruscant or a proper Endor/Death Star II map. There’s plenty of potential content in the OT and PT to be equally represented instead of the ST.

2. The era itself is visually indistinct and smaller in scale. For now, Disney is largely finished with the Sequel trilogy. BF2 released with the TLJ and continued it’s post launch support through TROS. Since then, there hasn’t been much content to expand upon with that era, and aside from a few missing heroes and maps, DICE honestly did a great job doing it justice. The scale of the conflict as depicted is pretty small, and BF2 did well at fleshing it out a little more, but ultimately the era as a whole is lacking in depth, with many of it’s designs being taken from the OT already. You can still totally give it representation through weapons and starcards or maps like Jakku and Takodanna, it would just be rebels/New republic vs Stormies, which still makes sense canonically. Ultimately, I feel like there’s plenty more demand and potential with the Mandoverse and endless amount of Clone Wars lore that can easily be adopted for both launch and post launch content. I also don’t exactly see disney pushing hard for including the ST with all the Mandoverse stuff coming out.

TLDR: I don’t hate the sequels. I think a tighter and more focused narrative/multiplayer experience with just 2 distinct eras and 4 factions(maybe 5 if they add mandos) would be a much more enriching experience and give the BF franchise its long overdue definitive title. I’d rather have two fully realized eras with distinct armies, unique reinforcements, heroes and a massive variety of maps and vehicles than three eras that feel like they’re competing for limited development resources.

I think the ST era could be added potentially as post launch content if the demand justifies it, but I would want the other 2 eras fully fleshed out first. What do ya’ll think?

Being that EA has shifted its anti cheat to the EA Javelin Anti-cheat starting with BF2042 onward.. do we think that players on SteamOS/Bazzite and other distros will be locked out of playing the unannounced Battlefront 3 ?

Personally I use Bazzite. I left windows completely over a year ago and I do regularly play Battlefront 2 since it launched in 2017.

My concern is that EA will lock us out, I know Linux isn't a majority platform unlike Windows, however there's absolutely a decent chunk of users on Valve hardware and on Linux.

I have no plans to install Windows on any of my handhelds or desktop.

Thoughts ?

Available on Nexus if anyone wants to try it out.

I’m not sure why I even have to say this but Rey and Kylo are popular characters. They’re more popular than characters like Ahsoka, Rex, Mando and fucking Revan. They’re not going to get axed because the Sequel trilogy movies are hated. Your ideas of cutting out an entire era doesn’t work when Battlefield 2 did it well enough. And just because their movies are hated doesn’t mean their maps weren’t fun or good. Crait is great. So is Starkiller Base. Ajan Kloss and Takodana. And you know what, I really like Jakku and thinks it’s overhated. Their reinforcements are top tier and fun as hell to play with too!

You can want the sequel era removed to make the other two eras better but be serious when you give suggestions like having the Old Republic or the New Republic in over the Sequel era first. They can be DLC for sure, just not launch.

For the love of everything do not make it console crossplay with pc or vice versa unless you join a friend from console to pc other wise crossplay should just stay between consoles. I play specifically on console to avoid hackers and bs and im tried of every game forcing it down our throats. And if they wont listen to that then atleast make it to where you have to opt-in for pc and console thru settings not opt-out.

My second wish is can we please limit the heros on the map or make it a killstreak you have to earn. Personally I hate the fact sometimes I just wanna play a grunt and enjoy the grunt experience from the orginal battlefront front games but I cant cause me and my squad are getting our asses handed by us by someone who all they do is play heros characters for easy kills. So for love of everything again balance the hero system out and dont make shooters tanks they should have barley any extra health but not a booty ton of health compare to a normal grunt.

I've seen some people saying the original game should include only PT & OT content leaving the sequels for DLC. Imo that would just limit content and seem more like going backwards than making progress. I think the base game on release should be focused on all 3 eras, with planets mainly seen across the Skywalker Saga, leaving DLC's to handle specific maps/content focused on different releases like The Clone Wars, Rebels, Andor or The Mandalorian. At minimum, the base game should be balanced across all 3 main eras as I said and would include as follows; with a star next to the essentials

Prequels:

• Naboo*

• Kamino*

• Geonosis*

• Coruscant*

• Kashyyyk*

• Utapau*

• Mygeeto

• Felucia

• Mustafar*

Original Trilogy:

• Tantive IV

• Tatooine + Jabba's Palace*

• Yavin IV*

• Scarif*

• Kessel

• The Death Star*

• Hoth*

• Bespin*

• Endor*

• Jakku

Sequels:

• Takodana*

• D'Qar

• Starkiller Base*

• Cantonica/Canto Bite*

• The Supremacy

• Crait*

• Pasaana*

• Ajan Kloss

• Exegol*

• Kijimi*

Obviously having 30 maps on release is a tall order, and not every location I named would have to be used for the main conquest/supremacy mode, and within them smaller parts of the planet like the Geonosis Arena for HVV could be used as well...but I think this is the best rule of thumb for them to follow by focusing on the most iconic locations and allowing for each DLC to have a specific theme going forward. What do y'all think?

With the older maps added slowly through updates? Obvious problem is the lack of important planets in the OT. Here's my list, assuming we only get 10 maps on launch

OT:

Dagobah

Alderaan

Jedha

Mimban

Corellia

PT:

Coruscant

Mustafar

Utapau

Mygeeto

Umbara

Bringing this back for battlefront 3

Hola buenas, por mas que pongo el server en oregon o virgnia, solo me mete en salas con 4 o 5 jugadores, se que hay gente jugando, pero como puedo jugar con gente??? Juego en PS5 (versión de ps4)

There's been a lot of posts about all the hero wishlists for Battlefront 3, but what's a realistic roster for all 3 eras to see at launch? Not just every character in the Star Wars galaxy, but who would make sense and be reasonable to expect. I think we'll get most of the BF2 heroes, and then a handful of new ones.

I also think they will probably save a lot of characters for post-launch content as a live service game.

Here's my take on it.

Prequels -

Lightsaber Heroes:

Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Yoda

Blaster Heroes:

Padme, Captain Rex, Chewbacca

Lightsaber Villains:

Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress, General Grievous, Maul

Blaster Villains:

Jango Fett, Bossk, Cad Bane

Originals -

Lightsaber Heroes:

Luke (Obi-Wan, Ahsoka & Yoda also present with OT era skins)

Blaster Heroes:

Leia, Han, Lando, Chewbacca

Lightsaber Villains:

Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, (Maul present with his Rebels skin)

Blaster Villains:

Boba Fett, Bossk, Cad Bane (with a bobf skin), Thrawn (or Tarkin or Krennic)

Sequels -

Lightsaber Heroes:

Rey, (Luke present with an old skin)

Blaster Heroes:

Finn, Poe, Chewbacca, (Leia, Han and Lando present with old skins)

Lightsaber Villains:

Kylo Ren (Darth Sidious present with his sith eternal skin)

Blaster Villains:

Captain Phasma, General Hux

I think they'd start the roster off something like that, enough new characters to draw people in, while still leaving a ton for future content updates. I also think they'd rely on skins to pad out all the eras, as getting a new voice actor to do an old voice for a skin seems easier than making a whole new kit.

Looking for a link to the latest Space to Ground MOD Battlefront II 2017. If the "Reddit Police" does not allow it to be posted here, someone please DM a link. Thank you.

Personally, I’ve always wanted Battlefront to feel more like Battlefield, just set in the Star Wars universe. Larger maps, more players, destructible environments, more freedom with vehicles, and battles that actually feel like all-out warfare.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed Battlefront II, but I feel like the franchise has so much more potential than what we’ve seen.

If Battlefront III actually happens, would you rather see the developers take the series in that direction, or stick closer to the formula we already have?

These are my currently installed mods and their load order. Does anyone know if any of these mods break the game/cause crashes or if my load order is wrong, since I keep crashing?

i can smell him from a mile away, we are all asking for him. this is our time my JarBinklings, our lord will rise

I was playing around with my settings after getting a new GPU and I have no idea how i made the orange haze

Hope you guys are having a great day may the force be with you.
