NSIAP, but newsworthy for sure. This is the type of news I've been awaiting to finally purchase the new gen console.

YEEESSSSSSS

Yes, slicing your enemies with a lightsaber is one reason to buy Star Wars: Battlefront, but it shouldn't be the only reason. At Gamescom 2015, Electronic Arts has revealed that it's adding in an aerial combat sim to the game, entitled Star Wars: Fighter Squadron. The title is a 20-player aerial combat mode that pits Rebel forces against the Empire's TIE Fighter squadrons, much like the Lucasarts classics of yore. 20 human players will also be joined by 20 computer-controlled ships, meaning that each glorious battle will see 40 craft zooming around at once.

Ordinarily, players will be asked to pick between an A, B, X or Y Wing on one side, or TIEs on the other, but more famous ships are available as a special bonus. For Rebels, the hero powerup is a few minutes flying the Millennium Falcon, while Imperials get to hang out on Slave-1, Boba Fett's whip of choice. If that's gotten you super excited, then you can begin dogfighting when Battlefront launches on November 17th.

Slave-1? Have we ever seen it defeat an enemy in combat? Lame.

Awesome! Another part of the game I will suck at!

I'm the Porkins of space flight sims.

The force is strong with this one.

In that case I really hope it's like BF and we can strap some C4 on your X-Wing and send you right at a Star Destroyer!

Plz let this mean space battles!

That's what A-Wings are for!

Any news on what tie variants will be available?

Skinny, straight, bow and bolo.

errr my gawwwwwwd cannot wait for this game!

Straight is regular tie... bow is interceptor... bolo is bomber? What is skinny?

I'm hoping they will let us create our own squadrons with our friends and that kind of thing. Imagine being Red Leader or something like that. Too cool.

Have any games thought of improvised speaking systems?

For example, you are in Red Squadron of 4 x-wings. When you talk, only they can hear you. Press the LB and then all fighters in the air can hear you. Press LB and RB then people on the ground and in the air could hear you. Would make it easier to decipher through a bunch of people talking on a map that way.

Could lead to stuff like only certain people around you while walking around can hear you unless you use your team microphone or something. Just food for thought.

I think they said no space battles, but you know EA, DLC...

Is it too early to make the official game thread so we can get even more excited 3 months in advance.

This may seriously be a game I debate about PC vs Xbox. I really wish they would use the windows 10 thing and combine them together.

Can't wait for this game! Now just debating which would be better to pick this up on, xb1 or PS4

Nothing ever comes out on Wii U.

I'm getting it on Xbox since I get it a week early and 10% off with EA Access.

How much ya'll think I get in trade-in value for my N64 at KB Toys?
Then gotta decide between an XBone or PS4.

I don't think this game will hold our interest as long as BF 3 did (or Bad Company 2 for that matter)... but I think the Star Wars hype is going to be so high for many of us with the new movie coming out it won't matter. I think this game is gonna be crazy fun and crazy popular for 2-3 months and it's going to be awesome.

Not enough to justify not having a 64 at your house for when you get a jonesing for some Mario Kart or Smash Bros.

This is going to be epic.

I can't wait for this to bomb and see yall get pissed off.


It's EA guys, have yall forgotten that? If anybody can find a way to mess a game up its them.

hey it could be bungie

Just realized this game isn't going to have a campaign mode. This is going to be exactly like Battlefield, but in Star Wars outfits. I'm not a big Battlefield fan so I probably won't end up getting this. I know a lot of people on here like Battlefield better than COD, but I never could get into it. I like COD better because it seems more fluid and it's much easier to aim and shoot. I flat out sucked at BF and I'm sure this will be the same.

In

I really hope this game is good. It looks to be so. I couldn't get hooked on BF3, hopefully I'll like this game.

Brad is married and living in Aggieland now. He just got an Xbox One and has been playing every now and then on BF4. He said he will be getting Battlefront the other night.
