Team Deathmatch mode revealed to be called Blast mode. All maps for the mode are smallish in size while the win requirements is first team to 100 kills or most kills after the 10 minute limit.

Quote:
That's what Star Wars Battlefront's Blast mode is all about -- our base desires to kill the opposition without any extraneous objective nonsense getting in the way. More briefly put, it's team deathmatch.

Battlefront's take on the well-known mode is a simple one: Rebels versus Imperials, ten against ten, first team to 100 kills wins (or whoever's ahead after the ten-minute time limit). EA Dice designers say that all the Blast maps will be small in size so as to facilitate action. Some levels that were mentioned are the interiors of Endor, the canyons of Tatooine, and the ice caves of Hoth.

EA recently teased 3 new modes for the game.
Quote:
There are three new modes to add to the ever-expanding list of those available for Star Wars Battlefront multiplayer, according to a new updated on the game’s official website.

According to the blurb, three new modes called Supremacy, Drop Zone, and Cargo will be joining the already-revealed modes, though no more information has been released on the three new modes at this time.

Gamers have already been privy to three of the modes to come with the game which include Walker Assault, Blast, and Fighter Squadron. Walker Assualt is a 20-on-20 attack/defend mode, Blast is a simple 1- on-10 death match, and Fighter Squadron is a 20-on-20 aerial combat mode. Many of the multiplayer modes will include NPC controlled bots, with Fighter Squadron, for example, featuring an addition 10 computer controlled ships filling out the action.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...lefront-modes/


Some people involved in the alpha testing for the PC version managed to discover a bunch of info hidden away after doing some file digging. Actual names for some of the modes and weapons may or may not be changed before the game gets released though.

Quote:
Leaked files from the PC alpha code of Star Wars Battlefront were sifted through by users and divulge potential game modes and available weapons ...

“All the Gamemodes with Player count found in Alpha Code:

Name Supremacy
PlayerCount 40

Name WalkerAssault
PlayerCount 40

Name DropZone
PlayerCount 16

Name TeamDeathMatch
PlayerCount 40

Name Cargo
PlayerCount 12

Name FighterSquadron
PlayerCount 20

Name HeroHunt
PlayerCount 10

Name Domination
PlayerCount 16″

The top comment on the Reddit post by user jmario99 also noticed new weapons “DLT20A, CA87, DL44, RT97C, SE14C, T21” and the possible use of “Flashbangs, Smoke Grenades, Probe Droids, Viper Droids

According to EA, the official reason why Star Wars Battlefront doesn't have a campaign/story mode is due to them not wanting to spend dev time and resources working on a mode that very few people would play.

Quote:
During a wide-ranging interview with GameSpot, Electronic Arts COO Peter Moore commented on the lack of a campaign mode in Star Wars Battlefront, saying, "very few people actually play the single-player on these kinds of games. That's what the data points to." I believe it.
DICE themselves later revealed they never had any plans for such a mode to be included in the game.

Quote:
"single-player was never in the plan," according to DICE's Patrick Bach. "It was never the concept."

I don't buy it, I feel that a single player Star Wars campaign would have been a big success. But if they feel they can't actually do it, then good on them. Just don't use that excuse.

Battlefield single player campaigns can go die in a fire though.

Agree to disagree, then. I still feel like a single player campaign as simple as that in Battlefront 2 would have gotten more sales.

According to DICE, in theory its possible to have Supremacy mode be unwinnable due to the way they designed the multiplayer mode. Has to do with how points are tied to the match's timer and close matches not allowing the timer to reach zero.

Quote:
Fans were confused, then, when a blog from the developers indicated that Supremacy matches would only be about 10 minutes long. However, a tweet from DICE Lead Multiplayer Designer Dennis Brännvall has clarified a few things about how the clock works, and from the sound of it well-matched games could go on for a long time.

Quote:
The desert planet of Jakku is set to make its film debut in Star Wars: The Force Awakens later this year. But it's also making its game debut earlier in December, once Star Wars: Battlefront hits.

EA has shared some news regarding the map, which is billed as a pre-order bonus that's arriving after launch on December 1. It's described as a "pivotal moment" when the New Republic confronted the Imperials on this "remote desert planet." The battle takes place in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, complete with a crashed Star Destroyer backdrop.

Debris will apparently be falling down constantly to set the scene.

Online multiplayer beta arriving this October for Xbox One, PC, and PS4. EA's currently accepting signups for the beta.

Quote:
It'll be available in early October on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One platforms, and is a technical test that will feature 40-person battles on Hoth, pitting Rebels against the Empire, as well as a survival mission on Tatooine (horde mode, basically). A new mode, "Drop Zone," has also been announced, and will debut in the beta. Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker will be playable.

Quote:
Star Wars Battlefront's equivalent to King of the Hill will be a game mode called Drop Zone.

The mode -- which can be played on planets such as Endor, Hoth, Sullust and Tatooine -- will feature eight vs. eight PvP combat, where Rebel and Empire teams must compete to capture and keep the drop pod zones.

Your team will win if you capture all five zones, or have the most possession at the end of the 10-minute match.
Quote:
"This goes hand in hand with our design philosophy behind many of the game modes in Star Wars Battlefront," said lead level designer Dennis Brännvall. "We're promoting the idea of a fast, action-packed game where you need to be mobile and think on your feet. Camping doesn't really pay off."

Their campaign modes were the multiplayer modes with voiceover bookends. Nothing of value was lost.

If its just multiplayer than in my eyes it's half a game. The price should be 30. We pay 60 a year for online already.

You're 100% right. I've argued in the past that these games should come in three flavors; Full-$60, Campaign Only-$30, Multiplayer Only-$30.

I reason that this would teach CoD, Battlefield and such what players really want and where the budget should go. And if they're going for an exclusively PvP multiplayer game and still wanna charge $60, they better make it full fledged. Halo 3's multiplayer suite by itself was worth $60.

In two weeks, Battlefront's beta goes live between October 8 and October 12 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. No need to register or anything; just queue it up if you feel like it.

Three maps and game modes will be highlighted in Battlefront's beta. Walker Assault can be played on Hoth, Drop Zone is available on Sullust, and Survival Mission is featured on Tatooine. Walker Assault is the largest the beta will get, with 40-player battles; those looking for less scale will find comfort in Survival Mission's solo and cooperative play.

Specs for the PC version was recently revealed by EA.

Quote:
Here's the baseline setup you'll need for an ideal experience in Star Wars Battlefront:

OS: 64-bit Windows 10 or later
Processor (Intel): Intel i5 6600 or equivalent
Memory: 16GB RAM
Hard Drive: At least 40 GB of free space
Graphics card (NVIDIA): nVidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB
Graphics card (AMD): AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB
DirectX: 11.1 Compatible video card or equivalent
Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection

Of course, everything's dialed back a bit for the minimum requirements. The bare minimum to run Battlefront is:

OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later
Processor (Intel): Intel i3 6300T or equivalent
Memory: 8GB RAM
Hard Drive: At least 40 GB of free space
Graphics card (NVIDIA): nVidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB

Some details regarding the public beta and how to join:
Quote:
Getting in is easy enough. If you're on Xbox One, just queue it up from here. Those on PS4 can access the beta at this link. PC is slightly trickier. Origin has a page to order the beta. Clicking that will send the Battlefront beta to your Origin library. The catch is that you have to have Origin running and installed on your computer to play the beta. Once all that is done, you should be able to fire it up with no problem.

While the full game will take up somewhere around 40GB of hard drive space, the beta requires a fraction of that. On PS4 and Xbox One, it clocks in at a bit over 7GB; PC players have to allocate a little more room, as that platform requires around 11GB.

Battlefront's half-beta, half-demo has three distinct offerings. Walker Assault on Hoth features 40-player battles, Drop Zone mode shows off the Sullust map, and Survival Mission on Tatooine is for solo and cooperative play.
http://www.destructoid.com/the-star-...n-314587.phtml


A hacker recently managed to find some stuff hidden within the beta which implies at least three more hero tier characters will be playable the game.
Quote:
Thanks to a dedicated dataminer, we now know that Star Wars: Battlefront will sport three additional heroes -- Princess Leia, Han Solo, and the Emperor. Files have been located similar to the other announced heroes so far (such as Darth Vader), and SoundCloud clips have been unearthed.

I would hesitate to call this Battlefront 3, it's certainly Battlefront-ish but a far cry from days of yore. The Time To Kill is way too harsh and doesn't allow the personality of the blasters to shine, you see em you got em. I understand the kiddies love short TTKs and it's even source material accurate with people falling down from laser sparks but fuck.

Anyway Walker Assault is confusing and weird and the map is kinda bad. The drop pod zone thing would be better if the TTK wasn't quite as crazy as I mentioned.

The fucking Destiny radar it adopted has to change right fucking now. It's scrubby as fuck in Destiny and here we'll dealing with even more frantic firefights where you won't last a second if you don't shoot first. There's no sense of pre-planning and counter measure with such a low TTK combined with that radar.

The card thing they got going is cute.

The Partner system is bad and they should feel bad. Use the squad system. There is no reason not to use the squad system.

PC version getting more servers added for the beta due to the overwhelming numbers of players at the moment. If anyone had issues playing the beta on the PC, that was the official reason why.

That's the best part - Battlefield allows you to ignore the squad system.

So again, why not use a superior system to this Partner thing? Nobody loses in its implementation.

You know what I enjoy about this game the most? Is that it delivers on the crazy footage they show. I love Battlefield, but the one thing is they always show some intense action in footage, and when you actually play the game its mostly small skirmishes off in the distance.
