Then, in the summer of '08, Amazon.com shows a page for Battlefront III for release in 2009, by the them. In late August MyWii.com reports that Battlefront III may be coming for the Wii. That's the abridged history of Battlefront III rumors Now, without any further ado, feel free to discuss! _________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin. New to the forums?

Iron Fist EUC Staff Joined: 26 Apr 2008 Posts: 150 Location: United States of America I'm curious to see what they'll do with BFIII... BF1 was like a proof of concept and BF2 added onto that. So I figure that BFIII will A) be a polishing of everything in BF 1 and 2 or B) It will polish the previous games and add some more. I"d love to see a rework of the space battles...maybe make the ships larger or something like that. _________________ Latest EUC Video Game Review: Knights of the Old REpublic

Perhaps they could make not only the fleets bigger but also allow you to take over enemy ships. That would put a greater focus on defense of your ship and make boarding parties have a greater purpose than just another way to destroy ship components. I think also if they keep the upgrade weapons they should allow the play to toggle an upgrade on or off for different classes. For example when playing the Clone Commander I really wish I could turn the award pistol off. That's because you have to manually reload it and I found that I could keep up a more steady stream of fire by firing the Gatling gun until over heat, switch to the pistol until overheat and by then the Gatling gun has cooled down, rinse repeat. They also need to work on the award sniper rifle because for some reason I found I couldn't head shot guys in turrets. _________________

I think it would also be cool to do theoretical battles like Confederacy vs Rebels, etc. Maybe some historic battles and venturing into the EU. A Thrawn campaign would be awesome, as well as a Vong campaign. And more hero free for all levels! _________________

I think it could work well on the Wii and would buy both versions; they could even make a blaster attachment.. _________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin. New to the forums?

The rate of fire they have in BF II makes that class almost pointless when going up against the clone trooper. _________________

Iron Fist EUC Staff Joined: 26 Apr 2008 Posts: 150 Location: United States of America I remember when the annoucned the ship boarding for BFII and I just remember imagining being a stormtrooper charing through the corridors of a Mon Cal cruiser in this insane maze of battles...If they could introduce that, I'd be in heaven. Or the SW equivalent. _________________ Latest EUC Video Game Review: Knights of the Old REpublic

In terms of gameplay, fine tuning the space battles would be cool, although not much really nice needed to them aside more of them. Ground battles are fun, but BFII had a kinda hard system where you had to get a goal done to gain more men, even if it was just you, and the enemies had no numbers. Seeing Jedi as playable for entire levels, although not all, would be awesome and I do hope they are able to use the Wii Motion Plus for the Wii and new engines for the next-gen systems. As for era, as I said, include Kotor and New Republic, perhaps introducing lesser known Clone Wars battles seen in the TV series and comics. _________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin.

Darth Skuldren Moderator Joined: 04 Feb 2008 Posts: 5774 Location: Missouri Ok, focusing on the space battle part here... How about giving the player complete control of a Star Destroyer or Mon Cal Cruiser. Instead of just jumping in a seat and using one of the pitiful fixed gun emplacements, you could aim a whole bank of turbo laser fire or all turbolaser fire at a specific target. Other buttons could launch missile salvos and anti-starfighter laser fire. Plus expanding the interior of the ships. _________________

But if you could control an entire ship, it wouldn't quite be the same "battlefront". _________________ Latest EUC Video Game Review: Knights of the Old REpublic

I've never played it and have heard it was awful, but...just curious. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

MasterAndrew15 Administrator Joined: 22 Oct 2007 Posts: 940 Location: United States Is Battlefront now or what DS is proposing for it? Now, no it's not a RTS like Force Commander. If they did what DS is saying, and I like, it could be a mix between. _________________ EUCantina.net Founder. Forum Admin. New to the forums? Introduce yourself in the Spaceport! Need help?
