First - we have one war era. Galactic Civil. Only two good things ever came out of the prequels, the Clone Wars movies and associated tv show on CN, and the maps and units in Battlefront's Clone Wars era. While it probably shouldn't bother me that they're distancing themselves from the prequels, they can do that without cutting out its only redeeming qualities. No Battledroids shooting Clones...unless you want to use your $$$, right EA?

Second, 4 enviroments ~ 8 maps. Possibly. This is one of those games you're better off not buying at launch, I think.

Original Battlefront = 16 unique enviroments at launch

Battlefront 2 = 18 at launch, not including Space levels.

By December 8, that number gets bumped up to ~ 10 maps. Omg.

Worse still is the fact that Jakku can literally be mistaken for Tatooine. No seriously. I was convinced it was Tatooine in the trailer. It's this new place. It's bad enough Tatooine and Dantooine sound so similar despite being polar opposites.

If you preorder, you get the 2 extra (totally not Tatooine maps) a week before anyone else. EA you saint. Free stuff? You shouldn't have. Will we get the rest of the reasonable content for free? Not unless we want to use our $$$? Right.

Also. Unlockables. No. No. No.

HOWEVER. Allow me to say that I'd be insane not to share some enthusiasm for the influx of Star Wars crap spewing in this year. The Episode 7 trailers have me a little worried that Rey wil spend the entire movie staring slackjawed at the camera and Finn will be constantly out of breath and that everything will be needlessly exploding. But when Han and Chewie came out I did freak a little. Don't make it like that fourth Indiana Jones movie Mr. Ford. Please.

Also, Endor, Tatooine and Sullust look beautiful, DICE. 40 Players is an improvement on console - a bit of a downgrade on PC, though. Glad to see in-air dogfights back, and Tatooine: Dune Sea is one on my favorites...just please please hit it out of the park, DICE. At this point, I feel little else will soothe my inner fanboy.
