Star Wars Battlefront DICE Leaked Details?? (Heros, space to ground, and more!)

source : http://makingstarwars.net/2015/02/tons-star-wars-battlefront-rumors-links-star-wars-force-awakens/

The story of Star Wars: Battlefront’s campaign will span pretty much the entire Star Wars saga.
 

Star Wars Battlefront will feature segments in which you play as both the good guys (Old Republic, Rebellion and Republic) and bad guys (Separatists and the Empire). It was specifically stated that there will be a small portion of prequel trilogy content. You will participate in a couple of battles from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the space battle above Corsucant from the beginning of Revenge of the Sith.
 

The majority of the campaign will take place during the original trilogy era. All of the battles and settings that you would expect to be there will be playable. It was said that the campaign itself is pretty long when compared to other first person shooters.
 

There will be some segments of the campaign which take place between Return of the Jediand The Force Awakens. There won’t be a lot because in their words “Lucasfilm has a lot of plans for that era.”
 

The last section of the campaign takes place before and during the opening segments of The Force Awakens. Don’t expect anything too revealing, because the game is expected to ship about a month before the movie releases.
 

For both the Republic (that’s what the good guys are being called in the production here) and Empire sections you will be playing characters that actually appear in The Force Awakens.
 

EA/DICE was allowed into Pinewood Studios for a few days to scan and capture props, sets, etc for recreation in the game.
 

At one point either during either the portion between episodes 6 and 7 or the portion from the beginning of The Force Awakens a character with the last name Tarkin appears.
 

The scale of the multiplayer is going to be absolutely massive with up 64 players participating on each side.
 

Space to land battles are absolutely happening, but will only be available in certain game modes.
 

There will be a “hero” system in place, where as you play you accumulate points that you can eventually cash in to play as a “hero” character. These characters are extremely powerful and have abilities that are not available to the normal characters that you play for most of the matches. The system is constantly in flux, but as it is now, pretty much everyone have a chance to play as a hero at least once per match.
 

The Downloadable Content plan for the game is “extremely aggressive”. Expect up to five DLC packs for the game, with the first coming out before the end of 2015. Each pack will be themed, with the first two or three being exclusively based around content from The Force Awakens.
 

The game will ship with several The Force Awakens characters already, but some won’t be added until DLC. Specifically all of the characters in the trailers will be available at launch, as will new versions of the X-wing an TIE fighter.
 

Tons of new ships and vehicles.
 

The contents of each DLC will contain at least three new maps, new hero characters, and new vehicles/ships.
 

I saw a character model for the new Stormtroopers, the model for the new X-wings, and some random models of guns, grenades, and other things like that. However, the most interesting thing was a picture of a screen from one of the employee databases.
 

It was as a checklist that the department heads can go through to see whats been complete, whats been bug tested, etc. It was basically just a black screen with lines and lines of text posts, with comments and suggestions under each post. What was most interesting about this is what was listed. This particular screen I saw was for a listing of maps for the multiplayer mode. There was a lot of stuff that you’d expect to see in a game like this like:

Like I said, nothing major. EXCEPT for this listing that I saw

Now, I know that’s not concrete evidence that the desert planet from The Force Awakens is Tatooine, but I thought it was interesting because I know there was been some debate about that subject.

DICE confirmed that the only factions in the game will be the Empire and the Rebel Alliance.

*edit* 

the overview on http://starwars.ea.com/battlefront is just a brief statement, nothing has been announced at this point really, and I believe alot of these rumors as space to ground only on some maps matches up with what dice said about tailoring specific modes to certain maps

Experience Star Wars™ Battlefront is the ultimate Star Wars battle experience, brought to life by DICE – creators of the award-winning Battlefield series. Fight in epic Star Wars battles on iconic planets and rise through the ranks playing as the heroic Rebellion or the evil galactic Empire. Whether fighting through blaster-wielding troops, or piloting your favorite Star Wars combat vehicles like Snowspeeders, Speeder Bikes, and AT–ST's – Star Wars Battlefront puts you at the center of the galactic conflict! Release Date – TBD

If this is all real and the gameplay is actually good, then I think it sounds good.

DLC just because? Screw you dice. Thisis not Battlefield. I disagree with DLCs being plnned and almost done as of day one.

yea that is cheesy to have them made by almost day one, its like their taking parts of the game and selling them off for more profit

Hmm interesting

Precisely. I don't mind DLC, as long as they're not in the game for being content that wasn't ready when the game is launched.

Fyi, its being made by an EA dev.

This means:
-Game released
-They fck you in the ass with DLC
-They fck you again
-They fck you again
-They fck you again.
-They fck you again.

^No joke.

Everyone complains about destiny's expensive DLC including my best friend. He's a Fifa fan and even he admits that EA fck their players in the arse with every game release, no joke,.

Doesn't mean SWBF won't be good btw, just mean's there'res a 99.9% chance it'll be bloody expensive.

yeah. Just like Battlefield.

As long as its half as good as bf1 & 2 ill be good with it

I wont like SW Battlefield.

Im getting the season pass for the DLC, not paying each one separately

But they're just making you pay more, with content that is pretty much available from day 1.

I hate it when games have the content 100% completed on the disc but you need to pay to access it. Might as well just mod the game and add it in for free. Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 is a great example of this, parts of the Endor DLC were found on the disc and so were some DLC models.

yeah, it sucks.

Anyone know when it is coming out? (Sorry if tbats a stupid question :p)

There's no confirmed release date.

No release date yet.

Eh, i'd rather them spend time and make it good, lol. Same situation with Destiny Expansions.

EA made DICE release BF4 too soon, and it came buggy as hell. EA does that lots of times.

Holiday 2015 is the only thing they have said officially so far

what is holiday 2015? Summer? December?

Decemeberish.
