Boba Fett looks great to play with.

The Wampa cave visuals look amazing too

Wish they'd cram most these gamemodes into one tho. Slicing up the game so much makes it feel abit like a collection of (very beautiful) browser games

Feels like a sneaky gimmick to get paid for doing very little as well. What would be the reaction if the game released with 4 planets and only 2 or 3 modes for each? not great. Well, no fear, just make the same maps and split everything up into a dozen gamemodes with a weather change and a few different lines of code  $tar War$, baby!

One big complaint is the lack of singleplayer campaign.   Instead, we will have singleplayer/coop missions with three announced modes: Survival, Mission Battles and Hero Battles. 

Personally, I am happy with this. 

Battlefront 2 Campaign mode was a series of objective based battles on the multiplayer maps with a story line that led from one to the other.  But, that game had multiplayer bots to work with.

DICE created campaigns are typically small, heavily scripted and predictable with little replay-ability.   IMO, it's a waste of DICE's time.

These DICE Battlefront SP/coop missions seem to be a return to multiplayer bots.   In fact, the comments are that it's like playing multplayer with bots.   

When DICE dropped the Refactor Engine after BF2142 and moved to the Frostbite Engine with Bad Company and then Battlefield 3,  DICE dropped the multiplayer bots that had been around since BF1942.   Left 4 Dead and Warframe are very popular with this formula of a small coop team fighting hoards of bots.   

I am very happy to see this new direction and hope to see more of it in future DLC packs and DICE games.

Has EA/DICE confirmed bots in MP for BF3?  I know there was an E-Petition, and I had heard rumors but not actual confirmation from EA/DICE.

DICE has been trying to focus on MP and move away from MP bots since Battlefield 2 which was released with no instant battle, but only coop on 16 player maps and without any support for expansion packs.    Singleplayer was added only after a community backlash.   With the move to the Frostbite engine in BF3,  DICE  apparently did not code in MP bot support.   Now, I could see DICE adding some MP specific missions based on existing MP maps like they are doing for Battlefront, but I can't see DICE spending that much effort on full MP bot support for an existing game.  Perhaps in BF5?   

DICE has been seeing sales drop by about 50% for each Battlfield game after BF3  (BF3 15M units; BF4 7M units; BF Hardline 4M units).  Now this could be just that BF4 was released too soon and was seen more like an expansion of BF3 rather than it's own game, and Hardline offered different gameplay that did not appeal to the same audience.   Problems with initial launches may have been a factor.   But, I think Battlefront success will be tied in with how well the movie does at the Boxoffice, rather than the reputation of the past releases DICE.   If fans love the movie, they will probably love Battlefront too.
