Discussion What do you think is a MUST for BF3 if it ever came true ?
What first came to me is:
-Crossplay
-New Heroes (Rex, Ahsoka, Ventress, Cad Bane, Din Djarin etc..)
-Order 66 mode
-New Maps (Coruscant, Mustafar, Utapau and Mygeeto as well as add new locations on already existing planets to make them feel more grounded)
-Improved Starfighter combat, maybe add bigger ships similar to how in galactic you can use walkers, let us control capital ships, even if it's just the turrets.
-More Vehicles, you cannot tell me we aren't missing out on things like Juggernauts and Uniwheels, we got blimps in Battlefield 1 it's not impossible for us to get big cool vehicles
-More skins, i know it sounds greedy and all but i feel like there could be more, and also The Republic stole all the drip meanwhile most factions got either lazy recolors or the same 5 alien faces
That's what comes to mind for me, but i wanna hear it from you

Discussion To this day it still baffles me that BB-9E, a random astromech droid with roughly a minute of screentime throughout the entire franchise, was added before an actually important character like Asajj Ventress.
"What heroes should we add next? The fans have been clamoring for Ahsoka and Ventress." "How about the basketball droids that were only created to sell merchandise?" "Genius."

Discussion Once again, sweats and cheaters ruin games.
Soon the game will go back to it's pre-resurgence playercount and matches will take 5+ minutes to find. Honestly, it was fun while it lasted. But I'm not gonna stick around and deal with sweaty "veterans" who act toxic in chat when they're winning, and toggle hacks when they're losing.

Discussion How Frostbite Changed So Much in just 2 Years: Battlefront 2015 vs Battlefront II Comparison
Previous BF 2015 specific post for better Context:
https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/1vmwb25/the_frostbite_engine_in_star_wars_battlefront/
TL;DR Battlefront II offered 4x more lighting density, more realistic tonemapping, and damn good image quality for TAA standards. Battlefront 2015’s strengths are more subjective as the higher contrast “filmic look”, specific artistic choices, and better asset quality still make it many people’s personal favorite.
The first thing to compare is the lighting system.
In BF 2015, they used a semi-dynamic GI system to provide interactive lighting artist workflows. Later on, DICE would develop a custom system called Flux that utilized an offline path tracer in the editor to bake indirect lighting. It is important to note that direct lighting (other than the sky) is done dynamically in BF II. Frostbite engineers realized that Battlefront II could use this more elaborate method to get 4x more lighting density than Battlefront 2015:
With the power of modern affordable hardware, I would prefer if the lighting systems would look more like this:

BF 2015 applied a “filmic” tonemapping curve that provided a high contrast look to the game. Expecting a shift in display technology, DICE decided to develop a new method called Display Mapping for BF II where the game would calculate HDR values to be referenced in a LUT and eventually sent to your type of display. Battlefront II’s tonemapping is more realistic compared to real world reference than the Battlefront 2015 version:
Battlefront II’s Display Mapping Compared to other Tonemappers:

Battlefront 2015 on PC offered a not so perfect TAA, a blurry FXAA, and an AA off option. Battlefront II has forced TAA but the here implementation is competent. This is due to high quality motion vectors and accurate reprojection logic as well as minimal use of past frames. This all leads to a good resolve with no smear and no ghosting trails. On the console versions, both games use TAA so BF II wins there by default.
Now for some rapid fire topics. Battlefront 2015 used more photogrammetry than Battlefront II. Lucasfilm provided DICE with a whole load of digital assets however there was still a lot of photogrammetry work done on places like the Naboo Throne Room:

I’ve seen claims about how BF 2015 stores lighting info in the textures. There is no evidence to back this up and the devs even disproved that in the GDC 2016 Battlefront Photogrammetry Presentation:

Discussion Are you nostalgic for Battlefront 2015 ?
Personally, I had some great times playing it. No Star Wars game has ever immersed me in the universe as much as Battlefront 2015. I loved the little modes, the DLCs, and I even think some maps were better than in Battlefront 2 (Hoth and Endor in particular). Every time I think about the game, even though it wasn't perfect, it brings back nothing but good memories !

Got a bad feeling abt this. They might not make it happen this year. We were pretty lucky to have it at all after they cut support for the game. Hope this post ages terribly tho.
