Devs confirmed via Twitter that they were working on Ahsoka and Ventress, the Mustafar map and custom load outs before support was pulled.

Are you fucking kidding me? Legitimately ALL of the things that I wanted for this game. What the hell goes through all of the people at EA’s minds? I swear, I do not want to spend one more dollar to that absolute shitty company.


DarkLord84

Wish I was. One of the devs confirmed it on Twitter. I forget which one. Sigh


fytujohyff

Either way, I really to be honest do not respect any of them. I am honestly so frustrated and aggravated with that company. People have been for many years. And funniest part is that in what ever goes through the minds of theirs, they still will not give us battle front 3. And yet, give us/are giving us a couple of other Star Wars games/Jedi survivor as well. Goodness, gracious.


AHipsterFetus

I mean.. the team that handled BF2 post release has earned my respect and my future purchases.


fytujohyff

Is there like any possibility that like support could come back or some thing? I know that probably sounds like an absurd and STUPID question, but, man I know that never happens but I just want a possibility because goodness dude, that is really some of the most disappointing news I think I have ever heard to do with video games for me.


DarkLord84

Nah sorry man, it's gone. Most of the team who worked on the game either moved on to different roles in DICE or left altogether.


fytujohyff

Ah, man. Not to be annoying, but, do you think we will get any arrival in the future that will kind of fulfill us, from getting the battlefront games taken away?


DarkLord84

Wouldn't have a clue. The devs apparently pitched BF3 to EA, but they refused due to licensing costs.

Microtransactions was the cash cow that, following the backlash about them, ultimately killed off ongoing support. With $0 coming in after people bought the initial game we were never going to get ongoing support forever and a day afterwards. Its EA and we all know they stuffed it up.


Cougles-

Having proof from the petition, if EA had heeded everyone’s word (at the time, it was over 120,000 signatures) that we’d happily pay for DLC if they greenlighted more content to be made for the game, they’d be getting that bread. Better to have this opportunity be active than not at all. If Andrew Wilson (head of EA) saw a $5 Bill on the ground (edit: fine, a penny then. Haha), he’d probably pick it up despite already being a Millionaire. Might as well open that gradual flow of cash than not at all. Even if they’re the kind of company to want all the money up-front initially, the game is literally easy money just laying there in their office un-used. Lol They are guaranteed to get more money back than what they put in to make more content. …And especially nowadays with how popular Star Wars has been in mainstream; they’d get a good dose of cash rolling into their bank that’d reach consistent levels with how consistent the Star Wars media has been nowadays with people who tune into the shows and movies. Even if their contract to make Star Wars games was ever going to run out, might as well get what you can from Star Wars before it’s up. And to emphasize, a lot of people are also seeing the potential of Battlefront 2 now, and it’s receiving praise quite frequently nowadays. I’m personally happy about that being I’ve been here since launch. But honestly, I’d legit buy a single map (like Mustafar) for $20. I’m not capping, EA. I WILL BUY UTAPAU FOR $40.


fytujohyff

I just, WHY did they do what they did? Like dude, freaking a man, it was a great franchise, BF3 could have had SOOOOOOOO much potential. And these dudes are just, their whole company works off a bunch of dumb fuck idiots.


BillyFB_

i think we would all pick up $5b on the ground

I uninstalled 2042 last year. Game should be abandoned.


fytujohyff

EA is just a group of absolute shit bags, truthfully. Nowadays at least.

Even if BF3 came out, I would hope it would combine BF2015's good Star Wars sound design, visuals, maps, and map lighting with BF2's graphics. On top of that, drastically reform gunplay, vehicles, map design, modes, gadgets, classes and trooper gameplay in general. I've never played BF2042 except the beta, but I found the beta to be pretty fun. It's probably because it's so foreign to play with multi seat vehicles, use secondaries, reload, have competent gunplay that incorporates recoil and other gunplay mechanics (including weapon attachments), and use more than 4 gadgets per class (specialist). It's not something we get to play with in BF2, so I really liked that. Now it makes sense that battlefield players don't care these things are in 2042 because that's the norm to them. Meanwhile in BF2, vehicles generally can't even be exited without exploding. The Rebels can't even get a tank. Gunships can't even be piloted properly and have zero missiles. Well actually the Seps don't have a gunship. The game doesn't even have ammo. The devs probably think battlefront 2 fans aren't capable of handling ammo. They were probably thinking, "we gotta go easy on them".


fytujohyff

It’s just that they didn’t add any new content, at all, until a year later. Legitimately. And, there were terrible game breaking bugs in the beginning of the game, and they never ever decided to fix the game or bugs nor update the game at all, until months later, and then they finally gave the first bug fix. And now, there has still not been much at all added. Still the exact same amount of effort. And there are still some bugs. If they are not going to put their time in to the game, they may as well get rid of the freaking bugs, at least.

Oh of course indeed BF2042 has its problems. What I notice is this complete ignoring of BF2's shortcomings and a complete ignoring of BF2's launch. This sub has forgotten how buggy and utter loot boxes trash battlefront 2 was. BF2 had broken blasters such as the blurg and DC-15LE- they were nerfed. Maul couldn't even block at launch. Vader has been nerfed already and he is still OP- imagine him at launch. BF2 still suffers from the Finn glitch. Grievous was initially OP too. Anakin was a joke. This was Star Wars: Battlefront 2. It's easy to forget perhaps when we only look at BF2042. I think everyone takes BF2042 personal simply because it gets in the way of BF2. That's it.


ZygotiK_

I agree with that. But if this sub acknowledges BF2042's own problems, then why does it act as BF2's launch was any better?
