There was a SP demo for both JK2 and JKA. The JK2 one was cool because it was basically a bonus mission.

Yeah, my guess is Luke went into exile. The galaxy might even think he's dead, which is why this evil guy comes about, possibly. Either to draw him out, or to take over the galaxy since nobody can stop him.

That error is because of an image saved as progressive, as has been stated multiple times. simply choosing "standard" instead of "progressive" in Photoshop or GIMP will fix this issue.

I split the discussion about the game itself to the other thread. FYI.

I would argue that CoD does a decent job with characters and their story development in some ways. I wouldn't mind a Star Wars game like that I guess, where you play as special operations agents, officers, etc. But Battlefront has always been about a common soldier even in their "campaigns". Not saying character development wouldn't be nice, but sometimes it's not really needed.

What would the story even be? You play as an expendable soldier and you respawn as a new one. I don't think being attached to the character is even necessary in this case.

Yeah, that sucks, but there will still be ship battles in the skies of the planets. Still pretty cool. There will be missions similar to the old Battlefronts, just no cutscenes, which were just clips from the films with a clone trooper's monologue. It wasn't anything special. The missions themselves were just objective based matches, which is exactly what DICE has said will be available, solo and co-op. So no real "campaign" I guess, but pretty much what we had before. Where was the statement that said no AI? According to DICE there will be fully functional AI bots. Also, 20 vs 20 isn't enough?? wat. Like they said in the video, any more than that is way too much. 5 planets that we know about so far, with multiple maps per planet. Yes, I'd like to see more planets but I don't think that will make the game feel incomplete. If there are 3 or 4 maps per planet, that's quite a lot. And with every mission different every time, according to those that saw the pre-alpha demo at SWC, I think it will be just enough. I'm not saying you have to like it or buy it, but I'm trying my best to debunk some of the instant pessimism you people seem to have against anything new around here, before you've even played or seen the game itself. Just trying to help you out.

I posted this in the other thread. Anyone who's being pessimistic or critical of this game should watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcMCBlzAv1M

I don't think that's the case, and if it was, you can unplug your Kinect. I don't have one, bought the non-Kinect version. Cheaper. Yeah, cross-platform servers would be perfect. More games need to do that, though I'm sure its an issue with the platform companies not wanting that to be possible.

As much as I hate derailing topics, you kinda brought this upon yourself. How is it labeled as such? I've had one for almost a year now and haven't run into anything like that.

Some of the questions one of the devs answered last week: http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/news/twitter-qa-with-design-director-niklas-fegraeus?utm_campaign=swbf-social-us-ic-tw-swbf-figgeqa-042415-tw-img-site-ramp&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&sourceid=swbf-social-us-ic-tw-swbf-figgeqa-042415-tw-img-site-ramp&cid=38287&ts=1429901123457&sf37816466=1 According to the above link, the Missions game mode will be the campaign/bots mode. They'll have mission objectives to give a campaign feel (exactly how the previous Battlefront games were). This video is worth a watch for anyone out there listening to a lot of the BS going around the internet. These guys explain it all perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcMCBlzAv1M

http://jkhub.org/topic/1594-ja-is-it-worth-the-download-questions-answered/?p=83114 I'm curious why you'd need JA++ though. It's full of things you won't really need at all for a simple LAN party. It might make things more confusing actually.

I wouldn't ever call mods essential files when it comes to playing MP, especially LAN parties. If you want to try MBII, that's like an entirely different game. JA++ wouldn't really be necessary at all for a LAN party. OpenJK would be a smart idea, yes. Lots of bug fixes you'd benefit from most likely.

I don't get it.

Enough. Can't talk about anything around here without people getting so bent out of shape.

Doesn't have to be soon, I just meant eventually.

What exactly are you doing to them?

I nice little interview with one of the devs http://news.xbox.com/2015/04/games-dice-delivers-more-star-wars-battlefront-details?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Now we need new models for Tusken rifle and Stokhli stick! @@Rooxon @@AshuraDX Looks awesome so far. Great job!

Yep, those were proposed titles for Lucasarts. None made it past that though.

I was actually thinking of doing that font mod as well. That looks really good. Looking forward to all this being released.

I'm confused what the point of this thread is. That petition only has 4 supporters. And your second post is a link to the Battlefront page? wat

Dang. That's awesome. We have some hints at the plot, though I think some of these were suspected, they are now confirmed: http://blogs.disney.com/insider/2015/04/19/6-things-we-learned-about-rogue-one-today-at-star-wars-celebration/?cmp=SMC%7Csws%7Cnatural%7Cblginsider%7CInsiderApril%7CFB%7Crogue6-Disney%7CInHouse%7C2015-04-19%7Cesocialmedia

Looks awesome. Can't wait. Rex with a beard? Yes please.

They said ship battles WILL be in the game, but will be in the skies of the planets, rather than space. I'm okay with that. They stated that from their official Twitter.
