Here I'm going to gather all of the information I know of regarding Star Wars Battlefront that is confirmed or fairly likely. I will have sources cited so you know I'm not screwing with you. ;) Also feel free to comment with info. I missed.
Known facts:
Max of 40 player battles (20vs20)
Will take place in the Galactic Civil War Era.
PS4 file size is 25 gigs according to this source here: http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/star-wars-battlefront-ps4-file-size-already-revealed/
A "buddy system". This is similar to MoH Warfighter's system. You can spawn on your "buddy" as well as share unlocks with them.
This also leads us to believe possible customization.
An offline skirmish or campaign mode also exists where you can play solo, split screen,(Hell yes!) or maybe online with a friend I think.
No space battles. Instead ships will fly in atmosphere. ( :( )
Vehicles will include but are not limited to: Tie Fighters, X Wings, The Millennium Falcon, AT-ATs(apparently uncontrollable) Snow Speeders, Speeder Bikes, AT-STs, and most likely more.
First 4 planers are Tatooine, Hoth, Endoor, and Sullust.
Each planet will have more than 2 maps.
9+ maps confirmed for launch.
Game Launchs November 17.
In December a FREE DLC will drop. It includes a new planet, Jakku, which will have 2 maps.
No instant action
December 1st access is available to those who preorder the game. December 8th for everyone else.(This is about the DlC)
You can play as heros. We only know of Darth Vader and Boba Fett though.
Also female stormtroopers are a thing apparently.
"Seamlessly swap between 1st and 3rd person perspectives."
Xbox One will get 1 week early accesses through the $5 EA thingy.

Nice thread, shame about the lack of clone wars but I'll live. I hope Boba Fett's flying suction cup (Slave 1) is there alongside the Falcon and the USS Enterprise (sorry). Also please don't let them make Yoda a playable hero. I don't want a laser monkey who swallowed a gyroscope coming and stealing meh framerates.

When this game comes out I will stop playing destiny

It takes place in the galatic civil war era, and the clone wars time line will cost $20.
-
I don't completely understand the female stormtrooper thing... They're clones. That's just stupid.
-
Now, I'm not too sure if I can find a solid source for this, but I've seen the discussions around: Heroes vs. Villains is gone. To boot, the number of 'hero' characters is very small compared to the other Battlefront games.
-
Is it true that all vehicles will be on rails or only the AT-AT?
-
How does it feel to know that EA is going to ruin and profit off your childhood simultaneously? And the worst part is, the average consumer will do nothing to stop it.
-
Let's blame EA when we all know Disney is actually in control and episode 7 just so happens to be releasing around that time so I wonder who made that call? I can't believe I'm saying it but this isn't entirely EA's fault. Sure dlc is their crack for some reason but the game was supposed to be released next year for a reason
-
Battlefront 3... if your expectations aren't high.. you'll like it!!!!! Buy Battlefield Hardline now for your EXCLUSIVE Beta test of Battlefront 3
-
I like the clone wars better. (Im ready for the hate mail)
-
Star Wars Battlefield. Needs more Battlefront. Hopefully there will be command posts!
-
Confirmed: Players can not simply choose to get into flying vehicles. Apparently, the only way you can use them is through getting power-ups placed throughout the maps. Smh. Every new piece of news about this game disappoints me even more.
-
Edited by Moonman: 4/22/2015 5:41:17 AMI heard they confirmed the AT-AT will be the new AC-130, uncontrollable and o rails.
-
Will there be more players on PC? Given it can actually handle it unlike consoles, or are we subjected to bullshit console parity? It's surprising if its locked at 20 v 20 on PC because Dice has always given the PC players a bit extra, for example; BFBC2 had 16 v 16, BF3 had 32 v 32 online, and better graphical options.

Can you quickscope ?

According to this article and another one, bots are in as well. http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/star-wars-battlefront-ps4-file-size-already-revealed/
-
Include that there won't be Instant Action.
-
Bump?
-
My pants get tighter with just the mention of this game. It has been so long...
-
Ive waited for another battlefront but this one will suck...... why? Because its on EA servers. And no story mode? Wtf? Titanfall was justultiplayer and it got boring quickly.
-
There is no hope

Why will xbox one get early access if the ad has the PS4 logo thing in it?
-
Only 25GB? That would suggest half a game with a large amount of DLC on the cards.
