Re: Star Wars Battlefront 3: Celebration (Concept)

@SithApprentice39 The heroes wouldn’t be unlockable through lootcrates or micro transactions.You would unlock them by doing stuff like beating the campaign or beating all the battle scenarios (Any tier)

    Isn’t purchasing a hero with credits earned only through in-game play the same thing as unlocking a hero via an in-game achievement?

    New players who join the game late would already be behind in terms of upgrading their heroes & classes. I would not want them to have to worry about grinding to unlock certain heroes too (especially the ones that drove them to buy the game in the first place). While I understand where you are coming from and can appreciate that viewpoint, this is my personal opinion on the matter.

    @SithApprentice39 Also, in case any of you were wondering how the devs were going to deliver these content-filled monthy updates without overworking themselves, I think the best thing to do would be to already have most of the content done before the game even launches.

    This would give the devs more time to not only playtest the new heroes and maps (to balance them & fix bugs) but to also work on future content updates. This would hopefully prevent infamous BF2 scenarios such as OP launch Anakin, killswitching Palpatine, invincibility glitches, etc.

    Remember this game is built around celebrating Star Wars. Thus, these updates are “celebrations.” Calling the updates “celebrations,” gives the dev team the leeway to complete most of the content in the “celebrations” before the game even launches.

    Marvel Celebration:

    New Hero (light side): Sana Starros

    New Hero (Dark side): BT-1

    New Hero (Gray side): Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra

    New Map SA: Mako-Ta Space Docks

    New Map GA: Jedha (Destroyed)

    Yes, from the canon Marvel comics series.

    Sana Starros is a smuggler and friend of Han. She ended up helping the Rebellion.

    This ist BT-1:

    Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra is a rogue archeologist, who has worked for Darth Vader, but also helped out the rebels on occasion. She is the anti-hero of her own comic series.

    The Mako-Ta Space Docks are where the rebellion build their new fleet, that got attacked by the Empire. During the battle, the Rogue Squadron was first named, Han Solo piloted a X-Wing and

    Spoiler
    General Jan Dodonna, General Draven, and several other high ranking rebels got killed, resulting in a lot of promotions afterward.

    On Jedha, that was now a dying basically uninhabitable planet, the empire returned to mine for more kyber crystals and the rebels sabotaged that mining operation.

  • @DCDT_GU All of this sounds interesting, but I think a Battlefront 3 game should mainly focus on content from the Star Wars movies, since the majority of the fanbase has seen them.

    On the other hand: We have played most battles from the movies (especially the OT era). This is an opportunity to add fresh content, without the developers just making battles up on their own.

    I'm probably alone on this but I think Jar-Jar Binks and OOM-9 could make interesting heroes... if we have a football beating Vader, why couldn't we have the smartest B1 defeating Jedi? And Jar-Jar... he would probably be a meme character and is very hated, but again, there are already some characters ingame lot of people dislikes. I always think while its interesting and the gameplay works, even the worst characters are fun to play. So, some basic concept (if anyone is interested):

    Jar-Jar: attacks with the gungan electropole - similar to Phasma's staff, but faster, different animation. Altough a melee character, but doesn't do as much damage as a lightsaber. His sprint speed and jump is similar to Bossk.

    Health: 800; Health regen: 300

    Abilities:

    Left - Boomas; the traditional gungan electric grenades. Jar-Jar carries 3 of them at a time, that he can use similar to Leia. Boomas do less damage and have a smaller blast radius, but have increased damage agains vehicles and can stun heroes for a bit.

    Right - Fool's luck; Jar-Jar is a bit of an idiot, but he's lucky for sure. While the luck is active, Jar-Jar recieves a health buff, an extra dodge, increased sprint speed and is hidden from enemy radars.

    Middle - Confuse; Jar Jar's presence can be really annoying. I imagine Confuse working as the opposite of Finn's big deal - sintead of buffing your team, debuffs the enemy team. Their radars are scrabled if they're in Jar Jar's ability radius, their weapon gains more recoil, making aiming harder, and their abilities have a slower recharge rate.

    OOM-9: carries a modified E-5 blaster rifle that has infrared vision when aimed with.

    Health: 600; Health regen: 450

    Abilities: 

    Left - Commander; During this ability, OOM-9 buffs himself and his teammates in a large radius - their health slowly regenerates, their abilities instantly refresh and their weapons get overloaded. The ability lasts for 8 secs.

    Right - Orbital strike; OOM-9 calls down an orbital strike from the droid command ship that damages anyone in its radius. Inside, the orbital strike works as a shock trap, knocking multiple enemies down.

    Middle - Ranged more; OOM-9 switches his weapon to a powerful sniper that shoots piercing bolts with the ability to damage multiple enemies at once. Can go through blocks and shileds, but has a slow fire rate and the player has to charge it for bigger damage.

    Emotes: "Open fire!" "You will not stay hidden for long" "Seize fire"

    The biggest problem with this hero is its looks on clone wars maps; in the heat of the battle, it would be really hard to see the difference between OOM-9 and the other B1-s. Even though in the movies he has yellow marks, switching it to a distinctive, bright orange color could help.

  • @DCDT_GU True. Depending on how long a Battlefront 3’s support would last, content from other areas of the canon could be added. In my concept, for example, I only have about 1.5 years of content updates planned, future updates after that period could contain content similar to what you mentioned in your previous posts.
  • @CoffeeTonic Jar-Jar and OOM-9 would be very interesting for a Ep1 celebration update.

    OOM-9

    The mere mention of the true droid Hero’s name has really reminded me of a certain someone on the forums of old

    @XxDeepDiveJrxX I would include at least the major TV shows in the 2nd-Year Post-Launch updates. I have already posted an unfinished concept of a potentially 3-month Clone Wars celebration. I also think that both Rebels and The Mandalorian could each potentially receive a 1-month update.

    They need to have C3-PO as a battle droid skin as seen in Attack of the Clones.That would be so funny to have him randomly talk during battle.They could do the same with a Chewbacca carrying C3-PO skin from Empire strikes back.

    sadly, no BF3 in plan, all focus on Squadrons, so no new BF game for another 3-4 years at least.

  • Great concept 

    But I would lose the starfighter part 

    Keep some play in ground modes or it takes away the main aspect of being a trooper battlefront 

    That was the problem with the last one 

    Spread to thin

    Ps I do like Starfighter Assault 

    Just don't flood the main mode with Hero's and enforcers 

    Bigger maps and a increase of players per side would help and less choke points

    I’m kinda glad we aren’t getting a new battlefront for a while because that means ea has plenty of time to work on battlefront 3 and it can be good at launch unlike 2

    @ToddyRocket1 I think Battlefield does not deserve the focus it is getting there should be both Battlefront 3 and Battlefield 6 in development at the same time.
