EA, Galactic Conquest Can Save the Ones You Love

I can feel Star Wars Battlefront 2 becoming stale. I still play it at the moment, but continually less and less. Its falling into the trap of the 1st game. Its at the point were it is simply lifeless, competitive and repetitive. And soon, I'll likely put it down until the next dlcs come, then I'll play it for a day and put it down again.

The thing about battlefront 2 is it plays really well, especially compared to the first. The thing missing, is something I can come back to and back exited about and be engaged in... That's where Galactic Conquest comes in.

Everyone knows the game needs it. Everyone wants it. Everyone liked it about the originals. Why is it not a main feature of these games with the same title? There is incredible potential for a breath taking Star Wars experience that is accessible to everyone: offline, online, talented, not-so-talented. Your trying to please all these people, but your doing it the wrong way. Its impossible. Online is not meant for this game as a primary feature. Secondary, sure, but not primary.



Anyway, this is what I propose and would love to see more than anything else in future Battlefront games (since it unlikely to happen in this one).

Essentially, it is just the same as the original Battlefronts Galactic Conquest, but it would take advantage of all the big budget and new technology to absolutely enhance that experience. Therefore making your new Battlefront game the standard to look to and not the Original ones.

These are some of the things I suggest:
• full interactive 'team battlecruiser' (eg the Venator) becoming the central hub in between maps/matches. Including galaxy map and planing station in the bridge, customisation menus, armouries, etc This is heavily inspired by Warframe and would be absolutely perfect for this mode.
• customisation of your trooper as you rank up. It would be good to be at halo accessability eg arms, helmet, legs, but would probably work better to apply basic skins and then add smaller things like visors etc. It might be a little hard for stormtroopers, but if there a will, there's a way.
• customisation of your team eg team colours/emblems. This would be hell cool. Pretending you are some new, purple-stripped, clone army. It would be cool to design team squad emblems, like black ops emblem maker.
• being able to select and rank up 6 selected AI team members to become your close squad or second in command, (seeing as you're the commander), as well as customising and naming them. Very similar to assassins creed brotherhood except way, way better. This makes child me froth. It could be just like the clone wars show with fives and all that. I would be cool to be able to make emblems and put them where ever on the armour as well, like with some racing games. You could make them like Tup, the Clone with a tear drop under his eye.
•being able to compare your teams score with another's in the battlecruiser.
•maybe ever select a 'general' hero character for your ship at the start like the clone wars having Jedi generals.
•minimal loading screens. Have the blue rings for hyperspace burst around your battlecruiser going to the next map while you walk freely in the ship, like Warframe. This would step immersion up a hole other notch.
• put in 3 different cut scene scenarios for each map. That way it won't feel so scripted. You can make your own story up.
•and of course, it should have accessible landed vehicles able to take off and land, as well as hanger to hanger, and troop transport. The ultimate, but unlikely would be to fly directly from your battlecruiser down to the ground, land a troop transport and drop of heaps of your troops.

This would be the ULTIMATE star wars experience. You have the potential to redeem yourselves from the current backlash with this. You have the potential to create a revolutionarily good game. A game that could last generations. A game better than the originals. My brain has never been so exited for a game before (especially one that is not ever in the making). I swear to god I would pay $300 up front for a standard edition of this game.

Now that you guys have nailed the gameplay mechanics in star wars battlfefront 2 eg starfighters, Jedi etc you can focus your funds back towards the offline in the next one, back to what made battlefront great. I truly believe this mode would make everyone happy- kids, adults, both good and bad players, and general star wars fans etc. Please... Do.... It....!!!!! Make fans happy for the release of the final film in the trilogy. Please, please, please, make this happen. Bring justice to all players and the original games. Thank you.


By the way, the title is an Emperor Palpatine pun, in case you weren't sure.

  • You could even make the first play through serve as a basic tutorial/campaign were you star of as a trooper under orders of another commander. And once you finish that, then you can go and become a commander of a ship. If this modes in it, than stuff a big canon campaign in my opinion. All attention towards this. Make online come last. Online play can still happen within those maps. And seriously, you don't need to make graphics better if it compromises gameplay and AI, if that's the case, make it worse. I beg for this game to happen. Don't prioritise the online community thats just going to go back to call of duty anyway. Online is ruining the games potential.
  • EA, please let me know that you will at least consider this for the next game. I've become obsessed with the thought of it. I'm desperate for it. I would be so happy if you would make it. I need to know you've seen it.

    They mentioned it is a possibility for BF2 during the AMA on Reddit.

    That's really really good, but what I'm saying is that they could and should make an even better way to play for the next game by trying out some of the things I mentioned.
  • Dice clearly doesn't want this in their game, even though it has been asked for over and over against since the first new SWBF was announced 2+ years ago.

    I personally hated the first new SWBF because it didn't have a Conquest with bots mode. Then I had hopes for SWBF II, and it's still not in the game.

    I created a thread about this here:  https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Arcade-Mode-is-not-what-was-wanted/m-p/6424468#M2237

    I would like people to keep upvoting and replying to keep it and all post about Offline with Bots modes going. Ti keep it alive and prove to DICE this is REALLY WHAT PEOPLE WANT!!!!!!

  • I still don't see how it is "GALACTIC CONQUEST" with 4 or 5? small, linear maps and 20v20, 20 soldiers hardly constitutes as an army. * Planetside 2 had like thousands of players per continent, in 2012.
