Star Wars Battlefront II: Full Length Reveal Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kae-JjbLsgA

Ohhhhhhhh f*ck meeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!
Out of everything that dropped in the last 48 hours, I never thought that the Battlefront II Trailer would be at the top of my list as the one thing that delivered extreme chills from start to finish. It's crazy that this, in my eyes and ears beat out The Last Jedi Trailer and Star Wars Rebels Season 4 Trailer.

Man, I haven't been this pumped for a game since....well, since GTA V! EA FINALLY got it right and decided to actually include a Campaign mode. As much as I wanted to buy Battlefront I, I couldn't pull the trigger on that because it was just a Multiplayer game. I find that to be a complete waste of time and money. But BFII.....hot diggity dog! Just like Rouge One plays out concurrently to the events of Star Wars A New Hope, in BFII, the same happens during the events of Return of the Jedi and it f*cking looks AWESOME!

As for Darth Maul and Kylo Ren fitting into this game (my guess it's only part of the Multiplayer mode to play as those characters) and I'm down for that. But it's the story itself, which is cannon for the Star Wars Universe, that I'm most looking forward to. Now, gotta go back and re-watch the Trailer again!!!

I had to comment right away (I am only 1 minute in)

WOW.  I'd actually watched 2 VERY short teaser things last night and was kind of perplexed and it was like ok...but not a great choice of things as far as bait to get a rando like me super pumped.

this is AWESOME looking.

we'll start drawing in 2020...lets play this for 2 or 3 years first.  ;)

ok let me finish this./

I had no idea that Paul Blackthorn was going to be in BFII. This game can not come out fast enough for me. You know, this should be getting an even bigger push than it is because we are essentially getting another "Star War Movie" with regards to the Campaign Mode.

Patiently waiting for my game to be delivered to my mailbox today. Most likely will not show up until tomorrow.

Fired up the game last night. In the main menu, I clicked on what I thought was the campaign mode, but it sent me to online Multiplayer mode instead. I didn't know what the f*ck I was doing. It took me 5 minutes to figure out how to run/sprint. Up to that point...my Stormtrooper was walking at a snails pace, making me a sitting duck for everyone else. Anyway, once that was over...that's when I played the first episode of the Campaign mode. I like it.

Revealing Star Wars' Iden Versio to the World

A cool little segment here. I like it when celebs surprise #1 fans. But I've always been somewhat skeptical about these fans not knowing that something is up and coming their way. I mean, they have to honestly be asking themselve "why is such and such company picking me for an interview, blah blah blah". Everyone minds naturally is going to go "okay, they are going to spring such and such celeb on me later on.....".

Having just finished the game, I have some thoughts. First off, I thought the Campaign Mode and the sole reason why I bought the game in the first place to begin with was very enjoyable from start to finish. Sure, there are a few hiccups along the way and that only has to do with the plot being rushed along the way and that is really where my only criticism of the game is. I really don't like that Studios are of the mindset to think that shorter Campaigns are the way to go now. Clocking in at 6-7 hours to complete (depending on how fast you as the player go through this), I came away letdown at how short this was. I remember when games use to have anywhere from 15-30 hours to complete. Now, we have even less and yet we are ask to pay more?

As for Resurrection, the free DLC add-on that continues the Campaign story-line was more of a letdown, clocking in at 90 minutes, give or take, to complete it. Sure, I guess you can argue "well, what do you expect to get when it's free" mentality. The final Cutscene was awful. It's apparent that EA was under the gun to get the DLC out regardless of how it looked for whatever reason. The story in Resurrection was also rushed and could have benefited by expanding it's gameplay longer.

As for Online / Multiplayer, I'm really not a fan of it. To be fair, I'm not a fan of Call of Duty and these types of games where that's all they have to offer. Running around just shooting people is not fun and having a Blaster or Lightsaber still doesn't change the fact that I find the Multiplayer mode to be lacking in this department. That's why GTA in my book is simply the best because they offer so much more than your typical 'Capture the Flag' or "Deathmatches". But that's a discussion for another time. I will say that I do enjoy playing Arcade Mode in SWBF2 and I prefer playing Starfighter Assault over Ground Assault. This is where I get to geek out playing either X-Wing or TIE-Fighter in aerial battles.
