Please bring back development of this game after BF 6 release

Hi EA,

This game is alive and well and so many players are there playing this game all the time. It's a fun game so please get some dev teams to put some cool new content. There was no need to stop development of this game as it is one of the best modern star wars games. The launch debacle was one thing, but that was because the company really messed it up. Decisions made by non gamers and no star wars fans. That backlash shouldn't be a reason to stop support for this game.

    They need FIRST to update Battlefront II with a final big update BEFORE starting development on a new Battlefront game but to each their own at this point.

  • @TheFibrewire This would be so awesome! To bad that it's probably never gonna happen, this game deserves a lot more attention. Battlefront 2 will always be one of my favorite star wars games!

    @ToddyRocket1, agree/ We definitely need a new start and a new model of how battlefront plays, we also need a model of what battlefront is supposed to be,.. is it a hero saber smash’em up or is it a shooter. For me personally this game can’t die fast enough so focus can move on to the next production, that’s if and when we even have one. If not then it is what it is and it’s our only choice along with battlefront 15.

    I do hope they keep the battlefront series going though, loved 15 and it was worthy of a lot longer service life imo, they should have never dumped it for bf2 and just added the content from  bf2. If a 3 is done I hope they keep the infantry and gun play of 15, along with all the good modes or that game, and keep the hero play of bf2.

    @xProdicateI just hope that they'd do the gadget and gunplay better better than even BF2015. It often came just down to who had the better weapon and the better gadget. Like all aim didn't matter enough when the opponent just brought the EE-4 or other cheesy gadget to save himself.

    The problem in Battlefront imo is that the weapon and gadget differences in both games are just so extreme and arcadey that most of the stuff the game offers us isn't even used because this weapon or that gadget is in reality just better than all others unless you want to play a very different and situation-specific role.

    The same trend is unfortunately also present in e.g. Battlefield 1.

    I really miss games like BF 3 where we had a ton of weapons that allowed to differ more everywhere so you could chose what suits your style the best and what exact drawbacks you want to deal with. While some weapons were generally better for e.g. close quarters, it always (the final game version) felt like a rather minor advantage due to the stats usually not being so extremely far away from each other and like aim mattered more overall.

    In Battlefront 2 and Battlefield 1 it feels like you have some few weapons that are only really good for certain purposes and if you find that they don't fit your style, bad luck for you. There is no middle ground, either go for what's best for that specific role and use it only for that or exploit an error of the devs and be that guy who uses some overpowered guns.

    Also 3rd person, combat rolls, minimap tracers (those wedges you see just because someone is running) and no penalties for hipfiring is cancer imo and should be removed from Battlefront. Though I'm not optimistic to see any change in that is it's a tradition of this game series.

  • I'm pretty sure that either more Battlefront II updates or a Battlefront III will happen after Battlefield 6 will be released. I guess we will find out at EA play live what will happen with the Battlefront franchise...

  • I dont want this game to continue, so we can get a current gen bf3. 

      On my wishlist for this would be: raytracing, a duel mode for heroes, or an interactive lobby you can go into when you choose your hero, so you can run around killing each other without score being kept, and even do hero vs hero or villian vs villian, until you have full teams.

      Also, wallrun and more acrobatics, for the camera to be "stuck" behind the player so you can turn 180 degrees instantly, the ability to push nades and rockets, and every jedi/sith to have (ontop of their 3 powers) a "telekinesis" key that would grip your opponent, slowly pull them into saber range, and you could double tap it to "push" and expel your enemy away, like the gravity guy in halflife2.  And "objects" we can throw around, and extra damage if you fall further, or are thrown into a wall.

    @TheFibrewire @TRlALON  Trillion is right. You’re not likely to see any announcement by EA / DICE on BF 2 re-development or development on any further Star Wars title; at least not now.

    EA’s contract for franchise development ends in 2023. At this point it wouldn’t be sensible for EA or any of their partners to commit to another title or to commit anymore resources on BF 2 unless they have a commitment on another contract. 

    In truth, IMO, EA & DICE would do themselves a massive PR service to double back and at least shore up some of the larger bad gameplay quality aspects of BF 2 but that’s unlikely.
