Just announced for Fall, 2005. I am a huge fan of the first Battlefront, despite the fact that it can get old after awhile. Lets hope the new one is better.

It will have space battles (Including Ep3’s space battle) where you can board, sabotage, and take control of certain parts of the cruiser class ships. Jedi will also be implemented although not a class in every map. The game will also be more objective driven compared to capturing outposts like the first battlefront.

Absurd!

Actually, it looks awesome.

Yeah, today's PC Gamer has a nice spread about it. Looks like it may be more of a game than the origional, which was simply Team DM, in my opinion.

I enjoyed the first Battlefront, I thought it was a decent spin on the shooter genre. Personally I found it easy to control, and entertaining - especially with a system linked LAN.

One thing I thought that could have been included was Jedi, but at the same time, that's what makes BF different... Since most Starwars games are based around lightsabers and the Force, for the most part.

I love the idea of taking control of average joe the grunt.

I'm guessing that no matter what they decide to do for BF2, it will be an improvement to a degree. Objectives would be cool, larger maps would be cool, and maybe more rewards for passing the game. :)

Well. For one thing, I heard space battles are going to be included. Like, you start out on one ship, get in a fighter, fly to another ship and take it over.

Also, it has been confirmed that Jedi will be playable.

Space battles sound cool... I wonder if they will include zero G jumps from ship to ship as well? That would be fun... Do it wrong and you end up spiraling toward the systems sun, hehe.

I would love fleet battles with boarding actions and the like! That'd be amazingly cool.

Damn I cant wait to hold it in my hands and let my hands do the talking when playing the game.

Yeah, and the game is supposed to be more object oriented, instead of just capture the command posts...
