Over the past few years it has become a bit of a pre-E3 tradition to see which game will take centre stage in terms of advertisement placement on the famous Figuerora Hotel in Los Angeles, and this year Star Wars Battlefront II takes the prize.
We expect the game to have a huge presence at both EA's Play event and conference, as well as some sort of showing at Sony's briefer. Electronic Arts has already announced that fans can get their hands on the game at EA Play on the Saturday before E3 starts.

why would half life 3 be there.it was never announced.the game has no life.it's game over
Cautiously optimistic about BFII. If it's got a decent campaign and any depth to the multiplayer then I'll be on board. Let's just hope they don't "EA" it too much.
Looking forward to this enjoyed the 1st even with its many faults
@playstation1995 I think it was... Just a joke.
I am of course interested in Battlefront 2. Its no secret that FPS games are one of my favourite genres and generally my preferred online MP game of choice. That being said, I was very disappointed with the first Battlefront from Dice. It looks as though they are addressing a lot of the issues I had but I still have a few reservations. Will the campaign be worth playing or a 'token' effort. Will the game end up being just like BF4 but in the Star Wars universe? I know comparison's will be drawn but they can still make it feel different.
Visually the last game was great overall and audio too but once you got past the 'Star Wars' imagery, the game itself was very shallow and offered little in the way of progression. The new classes add depth and more potential too in upgrading classes. It also brings the prospect of my 'team' orientated game-play - especially as people won't be spending their time focused on getting to the power-ups or sat waiting for them to respawn.
I have no doubt it will be 'better' but whether it ends up being the 'Battlefront' I want, challenging the likes of CoD, Destiny and plethora of other FPS games, offering more maps (only 4 big maps for the big modes at launch in BF1), decent progression, unlock (weapons, gear etc) and a worthwhile campaign etc - these are what I want to know. I will probably still buy but it just depends on when and how much I am willing to spend.
@BAMozzy I think this game is for the 2 billion people who will see SW8 this Christmas, the only effort they had to make at all was adding in the single player.
Last year they advertised Gwent lol still hasn't arrived.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi That's funny, I've been playing it this week.
@adf86 my mistake then, I thought it was just the beta?
@adf86 aye yes, its the open Beta not full release, apparently is going to be free? I dunno, they should just call it early access.
Can't wait for the EA play event. Keen to try the new Battlefront as well as the new battlefield 1 DLC
DICE isn't making the campaign for battlefront 2, it's being developed by Motive, whilst Criterion is making the (VR) space battles.
@playstation1995 It's in reference to this: http://i.imgur.com/fGdbNi3.png
