I couldn't aim in a console FPS to save my life, unless they come out with a usb plug for controllers you can plug a mouse into :lol:

And, on SWBFII: (award) Precision Pistol is so awesome. Easily makes assault troopers the best class in the game: tank with 2 shot kill semi auto pistol, mines that kill anything short of an ATAT class vehicle in one go, grenades, and a rocket launcher. You can also get the remote rocket launcher on legendary (spawning with it) if you want (like I did) but it's derpy on most maps. Fun to troll with on XL battles though - you can just camp next to an ammo droid.

So, bumping this thread for some relevance to the topic. Seems we now know why Disney gave Lucas Arts the axe.

My whole opinion on this:
Disney! You were the chosen one! You were supposed to destroy the current reputation of bad Star Wars games, not help make more! Bring balance to the games, not leave them in darkness!

Nothing good can come of this partnership. If they try and resurrect Battlefront 3, I have no faith that they'd come even close to how awesome the leaked Alpha looked, and instead they will botch it to hell and back with micro transactions. Honestly, I'd rather the game remain in limbo as a legacy of something that could have been amazing, instead of something we waited years for only to be ruined by EA.

Hmm. If DICE are anything like what I remember them, I look forward to it.

Not too sure about Bioware's involvement though.

.....what is Disney gonna do next? Buy rights to "The Walking Dead"?

A marriage between Disney's Imagineers and the porn industry would be pretty damn fun I believe.

They have the capability to make the Battlefront game. DICE is the studio for Battlefield. There will be micro-transactions, I just hope that it'll be shortcuts.

I hope DICE doesn't do it. Dice can't balance a game for shit. As much fun as I had playing Battlefield 3, I don't want Battlefront 3 to become a Battlefield 3 clone (heh), since they'd probably use the Frostbite engine for it, I'd expect similarities.
