Not true. Battlefront II did have a story mode, where you were in the 501st Legion, and it was playable in splitscreen co-op (for consoles, anyway). It says so right in the CO database. You'll never guess who added it.

While I did enjoy some good ol' Battlefront back in the day.. I'd have to say, the name that stood out in this article was TIMESPLITTERS.. whatever happened to that series? They were the right combination of funny and challenging. Though I wouldn't mind an installment with a more real-world graphic style.

i want this more that a new medal of honor

Such a shame, maybe....just maybe one day...

I know it was an early build, but I am glad it never got further than this...for once a bad Star Wars game DOESN'T make it to the shelf.

This series should only continue if it can become better than the mediocre ones before it. It's one of those game series that is fondly remembered, but better remembered than played.

It would be nice to have an unexpected studio breathe new life into this, not just simply bring a similar thing yet again. Mind you between judging this terrible looking video and never truly being able to play it, none of these words mean much of anything.

well errant one persons opinion

SWB games were awesome, I hope this does see the light of day.

Star Wars Battlefront was what started the whole online play world for me. 70% of my friends lists are former SWBF 1 and 2 players. The fate of SWBF 3 influenced my pick of gaming consoles (at least until I got both.) I still have the PS2 and Xbox discs on the shelf, and periodically pop them in just to see what other die-hards out there are keeping a server up and running. (at least until the last PS2 server crapped out and Xbox Live killed retro title support.)

This game could have been the biggest cash cow of LucasArts history if they would bring any form of it to current consoles. I've argued for an anniversary HD port to the PSN/Xbox Live network for the 2 games - jsut keep us going until SWBF 3 finally came out.

But, between this and GI's "Good, Bad, and Ugly" piece last month, it's quite clear there will never be a SWBF 3 with the current idiots running LucasArts today.

I would love to see this hit the light of day. Me and my son play Battlefront 2 on the xbox and would love to have a newer version to kick back on.

Kard, remember when LucasArts opened their own forums? The SWBF boards were hopping, every day. You'd think they'd have gotten a clue.

If their overloaded forums, battlefront3.net twitter bombs, and jeers from fans haven't pushed them into making a new Battlefront, then they obviously don't have a clue.

Btw, shortly after 1313 was announced, LA developer Clint Hocking quits.

Of course, he could be leaving for any reasons, but it doesn't make sense to do it right after a new franchise is unveiled unless there's either a family emergency - or he's following the rats off the sinking ship. If it were not for George Lucas' huge coat tails, methinks LucasArts would have filed CH.11 after the 2nd Force Unleashed game came out.

the screenshot actually got me thinking Rogue Squadron rather than Battlefront.. both could use a sequel (especially if Rogue Squadron got some 4 player coop)

I miss SWB so so much... this is one of my favorite co-op games, and I loved that the 501st had their own backstory in part II. I cannot believe there hasn't been a sequel released, it would totally be epic...
