Honestly, stop sucking old game dick. It's nothing more than nostalgia. Yes, it had more varied content, but the graphics and more importantly gameplay are ass compared to the new one.
Units, jetpacks, space battles, single player, a story, galactic conquest, AT-ATs you could take almost anywhere, clone-wars content, a **** ton of heros, a bunch of playable indigenous species.
not much compared to running around as a rebel, stormtrooper, luke or vader.
and graphics don't mean **** . I want graphics, I'll go see a film. the popularity of games like minecraft prove that graphics are secondary to the appeal of the actual game, which is gameplay and content. and even if the new battlefront has better gameplay (and i'm not convinced so far) the difference in content *far* outstrips the difference in graphics.
that's what people keep forgetting about star wars games. we didn't want a star wars reskin of CoD or battlefield. most of the popular star wars games, like Battlefront, or Empire at War, aren't popular because they're star wars. they're popular because, as games, they did something different, something right, and these crappy ass reboots forget that. they take out what made the games great, and leave us with a merchandised reskin of every other ******* game out there.
Bitch, Battlefront 2 may not be as pretty but it has way more content than EA's sack of **** : 6 heroes, Original Trilogy only, Sky battles.....get out of here with that **** . Try 17 heroes, both Trilogies and Space Battles and more than 4 ******* planes to play on. That is why Battlefront 2 will always be superior, no matter how great the graphics are on EA's.
Yea but it is for season pass, so to get all the content that battlefront 2 on EA new game I have to waste somewhere around 100 dollars. Meanwhile Battlefront 2 is 10 dollars on Steam or 20 dollars on PSN (but it is only on the PSP and PSVita)

to cash in
I think the main problem is that a lot of the development time has to go into assets. Just guessing though, I really have no clue what goes into game-making.
Its not like DICE had to work with a new engine, better graphics, and sound, which all take time to produce/refine and add into a game. A year of development in 2004 is not the same as a year of development in 2014.Trying to compare DICE to Pandemic is unfair.
There's actually 10 game modes (not including missions) and the map list depends on the game mode being played, there's five maps for large scale battles (like walker assault, fighter squadron, and supremacy) and seven maps for small scale battles (like droid run, blast, Cargo, Drop zone, Hero hunt, and heroes vs villians), and one map for Turning point, which is the battle of Jakku.
also the maps still depend on what game mode you're playing, for instance some planets have more than one map which means there's more than one area for the map.
I wondered how the clones handled that. If I recall, some clones ignored order 66 and had to be stamped out. I wonder if they went home and cried over shooting their brothers.
It depends on the Canon versus Legends lore. Legends and all lore pre-The Clone Wars series suggests that it was just crazy indoctrination and mind control. Canon and post The Clone Wars lore was the first time make it an actual chip.
I remember something about order 66 was to prevent an enemy incursion and you could have a commander activate order 66 for just a squad that had a plant/spy/enemy as their leader or something but then Palpatine just activated it on all of the clones to kill the jedis all at once. Isn't that what the lore used to be for order 66 before Disney changed it? or am I smoking something strange?
Order 66 has always been (to my knowledge) the Jedi have acted against the interests of the Republic and are branded as rebels/traitors and are to be treated as such, removing them with lethal force if possible.
66 was Palpatine's plan to purge the Jedi the whole time. It was never the Republic's idea. In fact, as far as I can recall, the Republic never even knew about Order 66.
That's debatable. I mean sure it was his plan but there were like, 150 Executive orders, including Executive Order 65 that branded the Chancellor (Palpatine) as a traitor and would have him detained with executive authority passing to the speaker until the Senate could elect someone else. If Palpatine was the only person that knew about Order 66 he wouldn't need all the other ones.
They didn't have a choice. According to the show, it was practically mind control. Only a handful or something had their chips removed, so they could, you know, not follow the order. The rest had no choice.
