Npcs to help fill in larger maps, like Theed?
Posted this before, but that forum is gone. On maps such as Theed, many players agree it's way too empty. To make it feel more full, maybe you can have players minor areas that can spawn a few npcs...

I've talked about this problem since the beta, but the devs don't say nothing obut that. i preffer to increase the number of players, like in battlefield, but i think this is not going to happen, so adding bots in open areas is the only solution i can imagine, because yes, the battles are very very empty.
Devs if you don't like the bots idea in all multiplayer GA battles, why you can't add simply an option? and see if players want to play with bots or without them.
also, in the droid side at the beginning we can see bots ready to deploy, but they don't move?? that looks very weird
Same with clones and their aerial transport. There's no reason this can't be done. THEY jump out of both sides and run off the street as the camera moves in behind you. The animations are already there so the change wouldn't be big, and the battle would feel more epic.
the new and bigger maps needs more units to fill the battlefield because of the clases, vehicles and more. Have you seen the trailer of the game?? the battles and the action showed in the trailers are imposible with 20 vs 20 players in such a bigger maps.
please look at this trailer and tell me if anyone have seen this kind of intensity and action during the battles:

they are lying with the marketing to all of us
why can't they add more units or players to the battle?? everyone is asking for it!! at least they could put an option and let's see...
star wars battlefront 2 2005 had 64 players, that is a real shame for this title
- You can't do that, the 2nd and 3rd areas would be extremely overcrowded. They'd have to completely redesign those sections to be balanced around that many people, and those doorways are small enough as they are. Can you imagine the 10 turrets there blocking them all on both sides? It'd be turmoil. No, the answer to the current map is filling out the 1st phase. Steps 2 and 3 are good as they are, but the city is totally empty except for a bazillion birds.
Having large scale fights like you ask won't be possible on THIS map, but I see no reason why it can't be done as a possible DLC, unless one is already made for it at launch. Personally I don't even like 20v20, it's too many people playing extremely cheap, who wants to be sniped every 20 seconds? It's frustrating and boring. 20v20 is my limit, but I don't want to be able to run from one side of the city to the other and only see 2 enemies, happens a LOT on Theed, and it seriously needs to be fixed. Micro objectives or something need to go in to punish or reward teams who use the whole map. It doesn't have to be FULL, but a squad of 5 or 6 blocking some alleys or choke points would be nice. What military man leaves those undefended? Not to mention the clones on the com's saying the locals already pushed them back once, you'd think some improvements would have been made since then. New plans vs what worked/failed last time. Nope, same old grinder. We like the content and the objective, but we need a little more "oomph" on this particular level.
