In the magical land of Impossible Expectations, where it frolics alongside Half Life 3
As well as Titanfall 3. The unlucky number threes😥
@@NoahR_ And Star Wars 1313. Two 3s is doubly unlucky.
Don't forget about The Force Unleashed 3!
Half life 3 already happened. That's what HL:A is
Half-Life 3 is actually wanted. Somehow DICE made Battlefront 2 worse than Battlefront 1 which was a dumpster fire compared to Battlefront 2(2005). Now I hear the classic editions remaster are even worse.
Game devs used to have zero bureaucracy and built on shoddy dev tools and somehow ended up 1000 times better
Battlefront 3 is by far the Star Wars project I want to happen most. A large aaa live service game just fits the series so well and adds a sense of community that no other type of project can really achieve.
No way you're asking for a live service game
@@tofuteh2348 yes if they made it a great game first live service second look how well destinys done but still a pipedream
@@tofuteh2348yea why would you not it’s starwars they can keep adding content like new characters and weapons and different planets
@@nathanhoward5598 destiny is a terrible example. Have you not followed the history of that franchise?
@@chasethechosenone8478 EA battlefront 2 was literally an attempt to be a live service money making machine through lootboxes. Why not just have a completed game with regular DLC?
Hear me out. Ewok hunt, but it’s Wampas in a snowstorm.
Ewok hunt was actually pretty fun ngl
@@SoulieCanolie agreed. Loved that game mode.
@@SoulieCanolieStill is
I would atually piss myself with feat m8
Yes please
“The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself”
Imagine if another company takes over the series and makes a new game simply titled "Star Wars Battlefront" and then we get locked in an eternal loop of getting BF1 and BF2 but never Battlefront 3
It's happened twice now and star wars games seem cursed so it wouldn't suprise me lol
You forgot to mention how incomplete BF2 was, so many planets like Coruscant, Utapau, Mustafar, etc missing, heroes like Ahsoka, Ventress, Jango, Windu, Padme, etc and lots of vehicles and reinforcements as well
Thank God, Ahsoka is missing.
Age of Rebellion capitol ship phase...
Incomplete? I just bought both Battlefront 1 and 2 and they both look really solid and play really good.
@@firstnamelastname956Yet they are incredibly incomplete compared to the originals
@@athejbaka7084 I don’t understand how the newer games are “incomplete”, everything they said would be there, is there. I grew up playing the originals and this is my first time playing the newer games, it’s been working fine for me and I can still find full lobbies.
Modders for Battlefront II (2017 on PC) have produced a new programme that lets you play BF II with the most popular mods, much, much more easily and find servers more easily as well as having dedicated servers running the best mods, you just download the programme, pick a server with the mod you want and play, the programme downloads and adds the mod you need with no hassle and need for 4 programmes running at the same time to let you play.
That is basically BF III ( it has Ahsoka, new maps, and tons of new heroes)
Yea can't wait for that tbh
Is it possible to learn this power?
@@cjswartz7 Its called Kyber v2, they have a website.
Is it freeeee
You gonna provide a source or...?
Anyone else still *_MAD_* that we’re never gonna get the *_ORIGINAL_* Battlefront III where you could leave a ground battle to join a space battle?! I mean, *_WHY?!_* 😡
YES!
Battlefront III Legacy is a spark of hope for that game, and progress is picking up.
Technically battlefront elite squadron is the PSP port kinda
And Nintendo DS
Nah. Looked mid.
Where is Battlefront 3?
Where is Half-Life 3?
Where is Portal 3?
WHERE IS NEED FOR SPEED: UNDERGROUND 3?!
All except need for speed.
Most Wanted was always better.
Left 4 Dead 3
Oh don't even wish for Valve to make new games, it will just be yet another glorified tech demo.
@@bigbionk Left 4 dead 3 is, Back 4 blood
Alright I guess ill try my best to explain the situation for those who aren't in the loop or have just forgotten.
Battlefront 1 and 2 where financial success but an absolute PR nightmare for EA and Dice (due to their own mismanagement and greed with the license)
Ea always saw battlefront 2 in the negative light despite how much money it mad taking out microtransactions hindered their view of the game as its revenues was through sales alone so they ere extremely surprised to see just how much the celebration edition made it when it came out.
Over the year people have been leaving Dice to pursue Creative freedom after years of not being allowed to pursue the projects they wanted to work on because EA said so.
Those who left Dice were not only those who founded it but those who also created the Frostbite engine which is the engine that all Battlefield games and Battlefront games run off of but All Ea games were running on now. in 2020 EA and Dice were getting ready to produce their next title in the Battlefield Franchise 2042, a big return to form for the franchise and hired new faces to replace those who left . As the project was in development the realization came that the game may not be able to hit its 2021 October release window so instead of pushing back the project to give the devs at Dice more time with the game and a an engine that is nutritious for being NON NEW USER FRIENDLY EA made the decision for 2042 to be an All hands on deck project with everyone who knows how to use Frostbite. They Canceled support for all current Dice games at the time Battlefield V and Battlefront 2 and pushed other studios like Criterion off of their Need for speed project because they knew how to use frostbite onto 2042's development team since the game was trying its bets to reach that October 2021 release date
Dennis Branvell (sorry to butcher last name Dennis) Saw this news and him with the rest of the Bf2 development team had to close up shop and work on 2042 but Dennis was still trying to push for a BF3 to be worked on after 2042. He and a couple of people brainstormed and made some prototypes even having some game session where a nutreal party told the pitch of the game without any of the starworts theming and it ranked to be one of the highest positive response in DIce history. Dennis and his group pitched it to EA where they quickly denied the project (this was after 2042's release) and hearing they couldn't work on a BF3 Dennis and most of the bf2 development team just got up and Left dice. some working in a new indie studios and others going to work on other star wars titles like Outlaws.
So now thats where BF3 is left at. As of right now DICE can not work on the title as they are once again all hands on deck with their next Battlefield game with more Studios working on the "revival" of the franchise. Dice is not the Dice that made tat past game. Bunch of fresh new faces who are just learning the engine can resulting the game FEELING vastly different from the first 2 games and in the eyes of EA its seen as a financial risk since it comes with a lot of baggage ( caused by their own greed) . The game needs to be everything and then some for people to even start to look at it, It needs A full campaign, Space battles, ground battles, vehicles, hero's, galactic conquest, capital ships, co op, and the list goes on and on and on. The expectations are high but the game itself is the biggest layup to jsut print money. with 2 games already under their belt the perfect game is right there and they dont want to pursue it because of money.
They just need to combine 2015 and 2017 and add more to it to create a Star Wars: Battlefront Ultimate with the same graphics and gameplay just more of everything. Just like battlefront 2 2005 was more of everything from the OG battlefront 2004
You also forgot something EA has said that they’re pushing away from licensed franchises. And it’s affecting more than just Star Wars, Last year’s Soccer game was the first to not be licensed by FIFA. And the upcoming College Football game is also not being licensed by the NCAA.
@@rexthewolf3149 i completely fucking forgot that shit holly hell thank you for reminding me
Commenting to boost this so it gets closer to the top.
I wish EA would have a change of leadership.
@@Legomyegoorj a change of leadership wouldn’t bring about a bf3. EA has essentially said out side of the Jedi games they’re done with Star Wars.
Would be interesting to see a Battlefront 3 from a different studio. I love what DICE did with the series, but so many of those devs have already left the company, so it probably wouldn’t be the same if DICE made the third one
100% dice isn’t the company it once was. If it was dice again hopefully the new team learned from bf 2077 (or whatever year it is) and it’ll be better
It's refreshing to hear an optimistic view every once in a while
Its hilarious that battle front 2 got a ton of backlash, for things that are now the industry norm
Loot boxes are not industry norm…
@@paulallen2680 they were for a long long time. I guess you're right, now they'll move on to charging 250 dollars for a extra game mode
@@666slateran666 the new industry norm is $10 battle passes with $20-$30 cosmetic bundles.
Battlefront 2s graphics are so good that if it released today it would be ahead of its time
EA dropped BF3 development for battlefield 2042
And it sucked
@@RiderNexus and it was announced last week i think that they are dropping support for that game too
@@olivertwist2843 lmao
@@olivertwist2843yea to focus on the next battlefield game lmao
Maybe it was a blessing in disguise…. It would’ve been terrible like 2042 💀
I didn’t know I needed a One Way Out mode on Narkina 5 until you brought it up. Whenever the next Battlefront is made, this is a must-have mode.
The launch of both BF15 and BF17 with the micro transactions really screwed those games over. Both games did well recovering from the initial backlash but man I think it really hurt the game long term.
2015 didn't launch with micro transactions.
It had a season pass but that's it
It's biggest issue was the OT only creative decision
@@samuelketner1391 You’re right. There was a $50 season pass. The first one launched with a severe lack of content too.
@@samuelketner1391didn’t you have to buy to play Darth Vader at one point? Forgot which bf game it was
@@christian623
No.
Bf1 had heroes be playable through power ups you would find on the map.
Bf2 had heroes playable as a killstreak in a match.
Hero star cards upgrades (that made your hero more powerful) were behind progression points, and since progression points were purchaseable when the game launched, at launch you theoretically could pay money for a beefy Darth vader (I think)
But at or slightly after launch they took down that system or paying for progression.
@@samuelketner1391 thanks for the info bro
They already said it's not happening
Source
@@KombaynNikoladze2002the creative director of Battlefront 2015 and 2017, Dennis Brännvall, left Dice because EA shutdown his pitch for another Battlefront game.
@@inertiaarch3798 Thank you
They said that about a skate 4
Honestly the battlefront games are some of my favorites. I would love to see a battlefront 3, but I guess it won't be for a while.
Dennis and the BF team at DICE all left the company once EA told them it was too much of a risk to make BF3. You also must not have checked out the modding community. We already have Ahsoka and a lot of other added heroes & characters, and have a server browser in KYBER custom servers. V2 is coming soon, which offers 24x7 servers with custom mode/map rotations and more.
But thats sadly for PC players. Their are people who may not be able to get a PC or one powerful enough for BF2 so their locked to consoles. BF3 is the universal answer but BF3 will be so incredibly hard to pull off.
@@Astroblade5PC players seem to usually forget about console players
Can't wait for kyber v2
And I'm just sitting here in a corner waiting for Squadrons 2
Yeah, you’re on your own there mate 😂
At least we have Kyber V2 coming up for Battlefront 2. That's gonna be like a Battlefront 2.5 o7
Likely needs a reboot, to sell it to the nxt generation of kids who likely had just been born when 2015 battlefront game out, they likely need to start again.
That’s crazy
Nah, if the “kids” want to play Battlefront, there’s plenty of options. The OG’s, the 2016 and 2019 version, the complete edition. We don’t need a reboot of a reboot.
Honestly they don’t even need to change any of the mechanics, just make a new game with new maps and playable characters. The fans would be satisfied
Not even a new game just a battlefront 2 remaster where there's a few more characters like kit fisto and ahsoka.
If they did do a Battlefront 3 I would love to see a return of Galactic Conquest. But in this version there is a player who is like the supreme commander and dictates where the fleet moves and what planets to attacks, also what kind of bonuses to buy. They can also issue orders on the battlefield to indicate the best spots to attack, defend, ambush etc. Then it's up to the players to fight it out. And they can add all sorts of planets old and new.And also they can add from the first Galactic Conquest, special era abilities, like being the Empire to blow up planets with the Death Star, or the Rebels could have saboteurs damage enemy vehicles at the beginning of the game.
if they made Battlefront 3,
they could reuse all the content from 1 and 2 to save time.
then just make 1 new map and character for every tv show.
add bots for the modes that lacked it. (yes bots for ewok hunt)
4 players split screen would be nice.
surprised there isnt a battle royale with all the different characters from all parts of the timeline.... star wars feels like a natural fit here.
I’d like to be able to have different factions from all the eras and pit them against each other. Clones vs Stormtroopers, Separtist vs The First Order. That would be a lot of fun
I agree with a lot of what you said in this video. I do feel like it is important to acknowledge that Battlefront 3 is not in active development and that we never got the original Battlefront 3. I personally think we will never get Battlefront 3. We might get a spiritual successor under a new title, but Battlefront name has gotten really tarnished with the launches of both next gen releases and even the classic collection release. (Not saying the games didn't get better after launch, they did, but the general public still thinks those games were like their launch versions. But idk who can say.
"Always in motion is the future."
i dont know if it ever will come out, but if it does, i hope they add more and cooler features into the game, especially like brand new characters that we didn't get for battlefront before
3:41 oooohhhhhh that would be cool. Like counter strike, but Andor Prison. Yes please 💯
3:42 OMG that would be awesome! A prison break out mode would be awesome.
🕹🕹Battlefront 3 was on the planning stage, but after the StarWars Community started to fall (right after The Last Jedi movie release)
Everything got pushed back.
We thank Rian Johnson
thanks.
Maybe Battlefront 3 was the friends we made along the way. :,)
They could have easily kept BF2 alive with continuous updates. An Ahsoka update. Inquisitor update. Jedi update (have like… Aayla Secura, Plo Koon etc). Sith Update. Sucks the only way to get these characters is in modding on PC
Battle front 3 would be SO awesome because we have so much more Star Wars content now for DLCs! They could add in so much from the movies/shows. Ashoka included!
My biggest want would be a combination of BF1 and BF2 where you can choose whatever costume you want from BF1 but have weapon and equipment classes from BF2. I'd like to run around as a grunt 501st trooper with a heavy weapons and equipment class.
It’s deeper than “people complaining about battlefront 3”. It is literally cursed and canceled many times since 2007. We have been more than patient. And it is not ok that there were more starwars games in the past and “things change”. We have not had a truly fun and truly good new starwars multiplayer game in almost decades. Something isn’t right in the gaming world. Luckily we have the Jedi academy multiplayer port on the PlayStation. I commend your positivity tho.
I do enjoy BF2 a lot, I even started posting more videos of it on my channel!
Something that I'd want in bf3 is a underwater map like on mountcalamari and kamino featuring those aqua droids aqua troopers and to have more aerial battles especially for the prequel planets
One of the dev announced that it was dropped for Bf 2042
Bf3 at that time was ready for public release
Despite the rumors that there will never be a battlefront 3 I do believe that we will see battlefront 3 in the future it would be almost crazy to not expect it to come at some point
“Don’t do that, don’t give me hope”
Prison break sounds like an awesome idea…we’ll never get cool stuff 😩
We need more people to play and so it gets more popular
HG brings up a good point that I never thought about before: whether or not EA holds exclusive rights to the Battlefront franchise despite no longer having exclusivity over Star Wars video games.
Unfortunately only DICE pitched Battlefront 3 to EA and EA turned it down. I don't think there will ever be a Battlefront 3 unless it's from yet another Battlefront reboot series
My dream BF3 has the graphics of the EA ones, the gameplay of the classics, and has all three trilogies with a myriad of characters/units/maps from each to satisfy fans of all three trilogies (impossible). Paid DLC would include characters from shows/games like Andor, Fallen Order, Rebels, and Ahsoka.
RIP Frontwire Studios Galaxy In Turmoil (Battlefront III)
Helldivers II is my Battlefront 3
He's chilling with Portal 3 and Half-Life 3
2015 battlefront was actually so damn good with some incredible dlc game modes. Did not deserve any hate. The jetpacks were so much fun and if you were a decent gamer you could pop off in that game. Battlefront 2 time to kill was too high. Still a fun game but not as fun.
This video made me a little more optimistic. I had genuinely lost hope that we would ever get a BF3.
I think they will probably release another battlefront game along side a movie because the other 2 battlefront games were like BF 2015 with force awakens and BF2 with last Jedi so we might get a battlefront 3 with Mandalorian and Grogu or whatever the next SW movie is
Are you saying when rey skywalkers actress makes a new movie we get bf3 🤣🤣🤣
@@ajrowb no the mando movie comes out first
@@Saladman45 OK then 👌
I would say in a Theory continues the original Battlefront with Star Wars: Battlefront III
I would love to see Galactic Conquest have a come back.
at the very least i personally want them to just return to battlefront 2 there was so much potential
yes an Ultimate Battlefront 2 Or just call it Star Wars: Battlefront Ultimate with all the heroes and maps from both 2015 and 2017. Galactic Conquest, 2015 Walker Assult, 2015 style Supremacy, Droid run (with famous playable bots like r2d2, c3po and more...), new mode with planet to space technology, etc. More new maps(and rename capital supremacy into capital conquest ffs), new special units, more skins (Bossk space helmet skin please) new heroes like Ahsoka, Mace Windu, Djin Djarin, Asaj Ventress, Aurra Sing and so many more. Make Lasat Honor Guards, Bothan spies, Rebel and resistance unique tanks( more vehicles in general), .... new defender starfighter class for starfighter assault like B-wings, Tie defender,.... also give sequel trilogy their own bombers. AND for the love of God give OT conquest a capital ship phase!!!
My username on a lot of sites is PancakeFace25 and my profile picture is the same as yours lol
The industry may have moved on but the fanbase has not. If companies can't see how lucrative a Battlefront 3 is, that's their problem. Its frustrating honestly.
Probably because at the end of the day most people weren’t satisfied with EA. Even the Battlefront classic collection launch didn’t stop the massive player base
I would love to see a movie or tv series about Darth Malgus.
A more important question would be, "Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell?”
This is the second time this has happened remember that battlefront 3 was supposed to come out in 2008-2010 that was the battlefront 3 for the old school battle front 2 it would of been like battle front 2 but much better and possibly still adding dlc to the game
Assuming DICE would be the developer for it, I seem to remember it coming out that they were planning on making a BF3. And it got canned for battlefield 2042, which went horribly.
The only case i can see it happening is if not EA and not DICE make it considering both either have bigger issues at hand or dont wanna touch it. Remember how bad BF2 was for EA? And loot boxes? Im veeeery skeptical that it'll ever come out tbh.
Bf2 was cancelled and the people who cancelled it went to battlefield. They also said if bf2 was cancelled someone would do remakes
I love battlefront i want battlefront 3
I feel we need a Star Wars game only on the clone wars, cause the prequels era has way too much content to be squeezed in with the other eras in battlefront 2
There needs to be a 1V 1 lightsabers only mode. And I want every single lightsaber character in Star wars ever. And every single outfit that they have ever worn. I want a Darth Vader with a slashed open mask from the Obi-Wan show.. I need Mace Windu.. How is Rey in battlefront but not Ahsoka.. how cool would it be to play as Anakin from episode 2 or obi wan from episode 1 or 2.. it would also be awesome to NOT have any characters from the acolyte in it.. Except for the one character who isn't supposed to be alive yet in that show... Yall know who Im talking about.. and the granddaddy of them all the one thing that would make me happier than anything.. I want to be able to play as Qui-Gon Jinn in his robes in his regular Jedi outfit and give us Qui-Gon in the poncho.. oh and speaking of the Obi-Wan skins can we please do the Alec Guinness version of Obi Wan.. on top of that give us all the sith lords and apprentices from every era.... But that one V1 lightsabers only lobby is crucial. I can't stand dudes bringing blasters into lightsaber fights and I hate when people don't honor the 1v1.. Please make my wishes come true... ❤
they missing out man if they released battlefront 3 it will sell out
I really do hope we get another Battlefront 3 soon!
Same thing happened with the old games the 3rd game also got cancelled.
My “perfect” Battlefront 3 game honestly is just Battlefront 2 but with way more maps, weapons, heroes, and game modes.
I like the customization in Battlefront 2 just wish there were some more weapons. Also would want to remove the star cards or whatever.
I feel like what was lacking the MOST, was the lack of maps. So many iconic maps missing.
I really want galactic conquest, and seamless ground to space combat.
My guess is christmas 2025 or 2026. They will have a lot of content to not copy what the previous two entries did, it will be fresh and maybe with some console refreshes/pro models, they can reboot it again to get rid of the connection to some of the drama with the modern games etc etc
I believe in this year a new Star Wars battlefront will be coming!
Same as the old battlefront 3
I would just love to see more Star Wars games in general. It feels like a tiny drip compared to how it used to be, and many of those more recent drips have turned out to be pretty disappointing lol.
I’m a fan of strategy games, and next year will mark 20 years since the last Star Wars strategy game, Empire at War. I cannot help but feel like this IP’s potential is being left untapped. Where’s a bounty-hunting game? A podracing game? A game that lets me command a Star Destroyer in battle (something like World of Warships)?
EA’s first priority is to save the Battlefield franchise with the release of the next Battlefield game which should come out by the end 2025.
If everything goes right this time and it succeeds, then, they’re most likely going to go full force into the next Battlefront game.
We need to hit up Disney and have them make a starwars fighter like db fighter z and have dope level 1s and level 3s and special attacks. I feel there are a ton of characters they can put in the game. Just my opinion I love fighting games
best thing would be to fully customise your character
Great advice HG
It's in contractors vr under a mod named clone wars.
The problem is BF2 is still fucking amazing.
Here's the issue. Games are very expensive to make these days. In order for them to be as profitable as needed, the game has to monetized, and Star Wars is difficult to monetize. That was the original problem with BF2. You can't put classic characters behind a pay wall without enraging the community, but it's either that or make the initial cost of the game $130 like they are attempting to do with Star Wars Outlaws.
Would rather have another studio pick it up.
If it's made by DICE, it can stay lost as far as I'm concerned.
Why? Disgusting business practices aside, the actual core gameplay is much better than the original games
@@juansanchez209 You just said it man.
I don’t think they’ll make a Battlefront 3. But I would love if they did…
Dice won't bother until the next BF is already out.
I swear if starwars and EA wanted to make money it would be this simple, take star wars battlefront 2 as it is now and copy and paste the multiplayer with the addition of ground to space combat making good on the promise of the OG bf3 , maybe change some of the characters like add in ahsoka and take out some characters and what not. Then cut the campaign and replace it with imperial commando, a direct sequel to republic commando where you actually play on the empire side this time and there's no bs switching. The pre order bonus is a remaster of republic commando. Done deal everyone is happy and the nerds can stop bitching.
I think the campaign should start with tarkins arrival on tantis and Boss and fixer rescuing and healing scorch. so it ties into bad batch and takes the story from there, maybe down the line they can run into a rogue sev so it would parallel bad batch where sev would be resisting the empire where crosshair joined the empire and the rest of the squad would be pro empire where the rest of the bad batch were against the empire.
A game published by EA that had/has FREE content?? That makes no sense!
Son't worry Greedo, I'll start working on it
EA should’ve focused on a battlefront 3 after 2042, they learned their mistakes by now and i know they can improve more on gameplay
I never got to play the 2015/2017 games. I think the closest thing we’ll see is a Fortnight skin set. Licensed by Disney.
A prison break Andor level would be Awesome!
Instead of watching the video, I’ll dumb it down.
EA: ououahah, monkey brain no make battlefront 3.
Dice: but the fans want it.
EA: monkey brain say no.
And there you have it.
Tbh I don't think we will get BF3 any time soon.
EA is just done with Star Wars IP. Heck they even cancel the Mando FPS game because EA don't wanna lose 20% of profit to Lucasarts.
Besides what will be BF3? Same as BF2 but the Good Edition?
I think we should wait until Disney explores a new era that give us a good side army and bad side army like Old Republic so that way we will get 4 eras instead same 3 eras we already saw in BF2.
Right now Disney is testing waters with High Republic era. But I don't feel High Republic has enough material for a Battlefront I feel the story is more about jedis than two armies fighting themselves.
To bad EA was so greedy with BF2. DICE and Criterion did a excellent job here. EA really had a gold mine here and for their greddyness they lost it. I hope they see themselves as fools for losing big money very stupidly
It’s called galactic contention
They might wait for a movie so they can add more people like in battlefront 2 we got all the newer trilogy characters like kylo ren so they might wait for a big movie
As a younger guy (early 20s), with no nostalgia for the originals, I respectfully disagree with the reverence that older games hold for the original Battlefront 1 and 2. While the game launched in a terrible state due to the mass monetization of the industry, I think Dice Battlefront 2 has the best actual gameplay in the franchise’s history. By the end of the game’s lifecycle when a lot of the monetization had been done away with, it was solidly the best game in the franchise IMO
They can add so many characters if they made a battlefront 3
Guarantee that within the next 5 years or so we will see this series get rebooted for a 2nd time (Battlefront Series Version 3). That or its dead and buried.
BF2 had a rough launch, which is why I don't think BF3 is happening. EA dropped the ball with it's BF series. Yes, it has been updated and is at a much better state now than it was then, but I think the damage was already done
