Just letting you know, EA just announced it at E3 with a 20 sec trailer. XD

Me and my friend were watch joking around when we saw it.

I said "What is this Hoth or something?" as a joke.

We nearly died when we saw that it was Hoth. We were so excited lol.

Excellent short reveal trailer. Never got to play the first one, but I already hear how great it is.

Looking forward to more info.

And across the interwebs there was rejoicing. Must have a next-gen system now. No getting around it.

But cursed EA. Grrrr.

And may the Force have mercy on their souls if they don't release it for PC as well.

It's a DICE game, offcourse it will be on PC.

Words cannot describe the happiness.

I am crying tears of joy!

Killer Instinct and now Star Wars Battlefront... I need to go and lie down.

DICE.... making a star wars battlefront game...

*drools*

My nipples explode with delight!

They're remaking Star Wars Battlefront....that's cool and all but you want to make me REAL happy? How about remaking X-Wing vs TIE Fighter.

It's not a remake.

This is an entirely new entry into the Battlefront series, which will include older material such as the Battle for Hoth.

Notice how there's no release date? Or any real information?
That is most likely due to the game being tied to the forthcoming films, similar to how Battlefront I and II were.

Hopefully this will be an actual Battlefront game and not Battlefield: Star Wars...

Battlefront pretty much is Battlefield Star Wars XD

That... that was literally the entire premise for why the game existed....

Take the crazy battles the battlefield games were known for and put it in star wars. Classes, air battles, tanks, control points, everything. It was a shameless ripoff of Battlefield...

Eeeeee.... between this and destiny we are extremely excited.

I've been waiting for quite sometime for this game. If DICE is behind it I have no worries this game will turn out to be incredibly fun.

It will be interesting to see what they add to it in terms of weapon customization, different perks, classes, and of course Jedi and other hero characters.

They really could make a giant leap from the last interation. One can hope

I'm all for massive battles and more customisation but I'd prefer it to be in the style of battlefront rather than a slightly altered reskinned battlefield...

Same here. I just hope heroes are able to be killed by regular troopers as long as they use teamwork. I don't want to see Jedi's just one man armying it straight up the center of the battlefield to crush an entire platoon of stormtroopers with heavy fire support.

Hopefully DICE will be allowed to branch out and come up with some interesting and fun ideas for the game.

I'm really worried EA is going to force them to play it "safe" though and just keep it as close to Battlefield and CoD style gameplay as possible.

Ah who am I kidding, I'd probably still get it. Except this time it'll have to be for PC. Going from the 64 players of BF 1942 to the measly 24-32 you can have on console was not a fun transition.

It'd be cool if you could transition from space to ground and vice versa...
I'd forgive a lot if that was possible actually...

I'd enjoy seeing a return of that Galactic Campaign they had. I loved that. Was rather plain but it'd be cool to see a beefed up version return

Showed my boys this morning... they are a tad excited.

Hnnnnnnnnnng

Gonna have to fire up Battlefront tonight now.

Good news indeed! Looking forward to more (read: any) info ...

Exactly how I feel. As much as LOVED the first two games and the Battlefield series, I'm not holding my breath just yet...

Or, y'know, it could be the fact they've only had the project for 2 months

I was expecting an announcement but the little teaser was a pleasant surprise. I hope they just rush out a 1943 style One map game, battle for Hoth obviously, in order to whet our appetites for a full release.

I wouldn't say no.

Also good call streamdragon, I see me and the boys have a go at Battlefront 2 later.. three player. (me against them usually)

Here's hoping that they give the npcs some small unit tactics or the like instead of just having a load of npcs running about in the general direction of the enemy. Its a Star Wars game, so as soon as it winds up in a steam sale (...because who buys pc games full price?) I'll be giving it a look.

...That is unless its another Colonial Marines. =(

Someone should have tested my heart rate when the title came up, I am fairly sure my heart rate would be at an inhuman number.
