Star Wars Battlefront Announced, Detailed

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday December 2, 2003 @08:02AM from the another-good-star-wars-game-alert? dept.

Tim Butler writes "Official Playstation Magazine has a few initial details regarding Star Wars Battlefront, a newly-announced online PS2 multiplayer game that borrows a lot from Battlefield 1942." The game, reminiscent of the previously covered Galactic Conquest mod for BF1942, has been confirmed for Xbox and PC as well, and is described as: "SOCOM's online-multiplayer experience, only with a wide variety of characters to choose from and a bunch of cool Star Wars vehicles to operate. You can play in the Galactic Civil War or the Clone Wars, meaning you can choose one of four armies to command (Rebels vs. Imperials or Republic vs. Separatists). [It] includes pretty much every major ride you've seen in a Star Wars flick." Update: 12/03 05:58 GMT by S : GameSpy adds that the developer is Pandemic Studios, creator of Star Wars:Clone Wars and the forthcoming Full Spectrum Warrior.

BF1942 game play on a PS2? by 77Punker · 2003-12-02 08:37 · Score: 2, Interesting

It's crazy to expect an online-only title for a console! Besides that bit of obviousness, one of the best things about bf1942 is the great mod scene. That can't happen on a PS2. Oh well...they'll still try. Hopefully it'll have the great single player game that bf1942 does not.

No Trade Federation!? They've only got the meanest droid army around!

I'd love to play as one of the droidekas
