battlefront general

hyped after the trailer so I might as well make this now.
E3 trailer:


Don't even care if it's scripted because I'm so happy to see a Star Wars game again that looks good. Most of my fears have been resolved at this point, now I'm just hoping for a stable release.

Gist of Walker Assault gamemode:

Imperials are trying to send an AT-AT to destroy a Rebel base. The Rebels can't damage the walker normally and need to capture signal unlinks to call in Y-Wings to bomb it, Imperials need to stop them by shutting down the uplinks. Rebels win by blowing up all the walkers and Imperials win by getting the walkers to the base.

When the Y-Wings make a bombing run, the AT-AT takes damage and becomes vulnerable to normal damage for a short time, so the Rebels can now attack it. After so many bombing runs the walker will go down, or a snowspeeder can wrap it up in a tow cable after a bombing run, although it's apparently hard to pull off because any damage to the speeder will cancel the attack. Stormtroopers can control the AT-AT for a period by finding a pickup on the map, and can control it longer depending on how much damage they are doing as the walker.

Love me some objective based gamemodes so I'm excited for this, looking forward to seeing what the co-op missions look like.

looks cool as shit

i really want to be excited for this but i'm still worried that something might get screwed up somehow
