News Star Wars Battlefront II Gets Prime Ad Placement for E3 2017
No Half-Life 3 this year
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.

Sammy's enjoying the silence
Ever since Jack Tretton dropped the mic in 2013, there’s no question that Sony’s been the king of the E3 press conference.
