Quite frankly I can't even picture how a Death Star map would be made or used if there's no space battles.

It was available as a DLC in one of the original battlefronts. It was basically a retarded run around some scaffolding and shoot at people / fall in pits retard fest. Worst map I've ever seen... Minus Jabba's palace. But that's just because Jabba was there and the fat fuck was invincible.

Sadly I am just a Star Wars fanatic as I was seven years old when the first movie came out. So I will be purchasing this and hoping for the best, but I will not be pre-ordering the game.

I'm with you brotha! But sadly I'll more than likely pre-order anyway in hopes of an early beta. I'm crossing my fingers for DX12 for this game.

I don't like the latest news I'm hearing from the dev interviews. No space battles, no story for solo play, and it's looking like not even any AI to team up with for sp, which would mean no more witty clone humor. They're also cutting out a LOT of the planets seen in Battlefront 2.

I hate to say it but this is starting to look like another dime a dozen eye candy game with no substance. For all we know it may have very limited detailed environments even outdoors, and a mostly glorified corridor shooter indoors. Some of the indoor scenes I've seen show a fairly plain looking layout.

The reason it sounds like solo play will be completely solo is IGN have reported that the devs are indicating solo play is being limited to certain maps like Destiny, because it's not adaptable to large scale battles like the Death Star. Even the Death Star map it seems would be rather lackluster if there's no space battles. Quite frankly I can't even picture how a Death Star map would be made or used if there's no space battles.
There is no battlefront without space battles

After the dlc anooument and the recent dev interviews I wont be picking it up!

25 - 50 % sale (only way)

Well, "in engine footage" is different from "in game footage". I don't expect the game to look as good as the trailer. No space battles either. Meh, I'll just wait and see.

Personally I don't see much sense in a dev team touting themselves as graphical wizards if they're going to come up with maps that make no sense and severely limited content. This is a bastardization of the franchise.

This is looking more and more like a BF4 re-skin.....or a BF4 DLC for that matter.

This game will be a disaster. BF4 will win game of the year for 2015 because of it.

I'm not hopeful DICE will survive. This is going to be bad. California will sink in to the ocean because of this.
