Star Wars Battlefront - Striving For Galactic Conquest?

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday January 13, 2004 @08:12AM from the must-rule-the-spooniverse dept.

Thanks to LucasArts for their press release officially announcing more information on Star Wars Battlefront, the PS2/Xbox/PC multiplayer action title featuring "the most memorable Star Wars battles set in over 15 environments across 10 diverse planets, including Hoth, Geonosis, Yavin, Tatooine and Naboo." However, a GameSpy preview adds further detail to the previously revealed information regarding this Battlefield 1942-like online-orientated title, including "the 'metagame' driving Star Wars Battlefront. Tentatively called 'Galactic Conquest,' this mode will throw players into a full-scale war. Once you capture every checkpoint on a planet and defeat the enemy's forces utterly, you'll control that planet."

Halo "killer"? by CokoBWare · 2004-01-13 08:53 · Score: 4, Interesting

The only design choice I have a problem with is the third-person perspective that they are using. FPSs are much more immersive than TPSs, however I think if they plan it right, we're gonna see some awesome things with this game if they playtest the hell out of it. I am foregoing the PS2 version and buying it straight for my PC.

Let's hope it's not a subscription.

And what's this about 4 armies to choose from? I thought there were only 2 armies? Who are the 3rd and 4th army?
