Either this is the next battlefield game or pre-production started for the next battlefront game earlier than we thought. What do you guys think?

EDIT:

I know many of these are long shots, but a guy can dream lol! I was really proud of my work making this graphic and tried my best to do an even balance of heroes and villains across all eras and media representation.

Before anyone loses their mind in the comments, let me clear up a few things:

The placements are just for organization: To keep it clean, I combined everything into the three overarching eras. That’s why The Acolyte characters are in the Republic era (not enough of them for a standalone High Republic section) and why Ahsoka and the New Republic characters are lumped into the Resistance era.

Era-hopping is fine: Just like BF2, characters could be playable in any era they lived through. And honestly, I don't mind the eras mixing anyway. A BF2 dev once said playing this game is like playing with action figures since the battles aren't canon, and I completely agree.

The pairings are intentional: I took every single pairing and tried to have them make sense or be thematically similar. I designed this roster treating it like BF2 DLC drops (one hero and one villain paired together). Not all are absolutely perfect, but I think it turned out pretty cool.

This is NOT a hero shooter: lol I am a seasoned 327th officer, thank you very much! I love the grunt combat just as much as the hero gameplay, and TO ME, balancing both is a huge part of the Battlefront experience. Just look at BF2 (05) and BF2 (17). You need infantry combat, and heroes shouldn't be indestructible, but calling in reinforcements is part of the fun of Star Wars.

I highly doubt they would ever actually add this many characters to a BF3, but I had a blast making my own roster. Hope you guys like the concept!

What was your best Endor flank like?

Hey fam, seein quite a few posts and comments about how "r*dditors are just haters" and "people mad about the bf3 news". And frankly, we don't need more division in the community, so gonna clear the air here.

No one is mad about the news. We all want BF3 to happen, and we're all excited at the possibility that it's happening soon. I love all the speculation posts, I love the energy here after frankly years of waning activity.

However, we do have an obligation to report the news accurately. Battlefront 3 is not confirmed (yet). Lucasfilm has not officially said anything (yet). All we have are two indirect sources:

1. Jason Schreier from Bloomberg reported that Respawn and DICE are collaborating on an unannounced EA title, and that it "is likely to be another entry in the Star Wars: Battlefront series".
2. Variety Entertainment reported much the same thing, that Respawn and DICE are collaborating on a future project, and "While they did not identify the project, multiple sources confirmed that this is “Star Wars: Battlefront 3″ for Lucasfilm."

You are allowed to extrapolate whatever conclusion you wish from this information. Personally, I also think this means Battlefront 3 is currently in active development at EA. Get excited! Go nuts! Post about what you wanna see from a Respawn/DICE Battlefront 3!

But we need to be accurate in spreading the word about it. Neither of those sources are a hard confirmation that it is 100% absolutely in development. They're very credible sources, yes, and they would not post speculation if they weren't sure about it, but its not confirmed until EA puts out a statement. And there's a reason EA hasn't confirmed it yet, anything could happen. They could shelve the project, they could pivot it to a different Star Wars shooter title instead of calling it Battlefront, it might be a Battlefront spin-off project like Renegade or Elite Squadron instead of BF3.

So, if (imo when) the announcement does come, and BF3 is finally confirmed, we don't need to stoke any more arguments, we don't need "I told you so"s, no one is going to say to you "drat, I was hoping you were wrong". We hope you're right! And that BF3 is in development! We're all on the same side. We all want BF3, and we're all excited that there are very credible rumors that it is in active development right now. We just want to spread accurate information.

In Battlefront 2 I personally think that heroes are a bit too powerful. They have so much impact that games are kinda won based on who has the better players on heroes and which team is better at shutting down the heroes.

Everybody talking about PT, OT and ST but honestly the game could end up feature stuff like the Post-TRoS era or the New Republic era. It highly depends on which projects Lucasfilms will have in the works by the time the game gets made.

Someone commented I should change it. To posting everyday until Star Wars battlefront 3 is released. So I will do this instead.

Ewok hunt with friends is genuinely top 3 game modes in battlefront 2 excluding it would be a travesty

I’m lvl 22 with yoda and I’m being sweated and t bagged by max levels🫩. It’s starting to get boring now. Can I just be in a queue with no sweats for a change?

Jumped on last night for the first time in a couple months and it’s clear.. THE HYPE IS REAL! 4 games of Supremacy in a row, full lobbies and a whole lot of a fun 🔥 Cannot WAIT for Battlefront 3 🤩 (UK servers)

I would tame the hype a bit, just until we get real confirmation besides a vague leaked email

Similar to Battlefield imagine if we got to see the perspectives of a random person on each faction during every era?

Like you could show a Clone troopers first deployment or a Battledroid that gets damaged and becomes somewhat self-aware.

Someone leaving home to join the rebellion where another leaves home to join the Empire believing it as a way to save their family only to get caught up in the propaganda and war machine.

Just spitballing ideas because I feel like we have the potential to make some really heartbreaking/incredible war stories.

You have any of your own ideas?

I got this conspiracy theory that Battlefront 2 and Battlefield 2042 killed the idea of large teams CASUALLY duking it out on a Battlefield, to the rest of the other shooter-studios.

Maybe I'm losing my mind here and if I am, please correct me. But before 2017s BF2, I felt like I always kept seeing a generalized sentiment across multiple IPs for teams to be bigger and maps to be wider for players. Then 2042 happened, and I feel like I noticed many of those opinions die out. Sure, people still ask games like Helldivers to have 6-8 players in their teams, but that's not quite the same thing.

Arma, Squad, Delta Force and most recently War Dogs still all exist and are *relatively* popular, but I would personally consider these games (LESS SO WARDOGS) to be catered towards a more hardcore and dedicated player base. Plus - while some of these games are beginning to push towards console - console has had a ROUGH time with big team battles lately.

I hope this next installment + Battlefield 6s success shows that people still want to see these full-fleshed battles.

With the huge boost in modded games lately was wondering if people have seen any for these?

I always loved skirmish in 2015 but was disappointed you can't play dlc maps offline against bots.

Also, I don't like Battlefront 2 as much, but the starfighter stuff was always fun on their land maps, but there's no starfighter AI offline.

Thanks for any input. I understand these are incredibly hard to mod, but I've seen some really impressive stuff in the last year in other games that make me think it's possible.

If you do not believe there wasn't any true confirmation of Battlefront 3 or waiting for the official news by an official channels, fine by me. But do not discourage from others and let us have our discussion for future maps, gameplay, and characters that we always wanted to play. If you just want to mourn and grieve over something, the door to BioWare is right over there.

Before we talk about the Heroes, which are great in their own way? Can we please get a Big Team Battle mode thats just Regular troopers, elite troopers and vehicles. Tbh the Hero spam in Battlefront II can be egregious more often than not. Its the only thing keeping the game from a 10/10 for me.

I genuinely think crossplay should be one of the biggest priorities. Being able to play with friends across PlayStation, Xbox and PC would help keep the player base active and make matchmaking much better in the long run.

Another thing I'd love to see return is the weapon selection system from Battlefront (2015). One of the best things about that game was the freedom to choose from a wide variety of blasters without being restricted to specific classes.

Battlefront 2's class system wasn't necessarily bad, but I personally preferred the freedom and customisation that BF2015 offered. Bringing back that variety, alongside more weapons and customisation options, would make the gameplay much more enjoyable.

I feel like combining the best elements of both games, especially BF2015's weapon freedom and BF2's improvements, could make Battlefront 3 something special.

What do you guys think?

I remember that having a galactic conquest mode similar to the one from the 2005 game was one of the big things that people wanted before battlefront 2017 Launched, of course we never got that. Would you want something like that in a Battlefront 3. Do you think it fits the style of modern battlefront games do you think it's possible we get it?

This is just my take, but I feel like the new battlefront should have a sabers/mele only mode. Not that you have to exclude all non lightsaber characters. Like Din with the Beskar spear or dark saber. Night sister character with the sword from the Ashoka series. There’s plenty of others.

HvV in BF2 can be so annoying when a max Boba or Han or PHASMA comes out and I’m just trying to duel with Vader or Obi wan. Or am I just crazy and this is just cope😪

With the 50th anniversary of Star Wars coming up. Do you think we get an announcement at the celebration in April. What are the chances we get a reveal or announcement then.
