Well, seeing how everyone has input on how the game can improve, I say lets have a Star Wars Battlefront III discussion on what you want changed.

I want the return of the Death Star and blockades and stuff for Galactic Conquest, and the option to purchase stuff like precision pistols for all your soldiers. Also, Galactic Conquest online wouldnt be so bad, with the host and the first enemy joiner to be the commanders, with help from their team of course.

I also think they should get more powerful/less laggy servers.

And being able to pilot/ fight on the millenium falcon and other such frigate like ships would be awesome, like the cornellian corvettes and whatnot. They should expand the space battles to be bigger, and to include more capitol ship interior/objectives. They can just increase the points you need. Sinking capital ships, like when you destroy all its systems would be cool too. Some battles should have optional objectives you can turn on so you and your freinds can get bonuses for doing certain things...objectives like in the Rise of the Empire, like on Utapau, if you destroy the well defended CIS AA, you get an extra garrison bonus because you can land more troops.

And on like Mygeeto if you get the power crystals they can increase blaster power by a little. Or capture the flag like stuff with holocrons to get an extra turn move because you know what the enemy is doing. I know this stuff sounds crazy and farfetched, but thats why I say such objectives can be turned off if you want.

By the way, I am sure this type of thread has already been done before and five people will provide me with links to the last one...so sue me.

We need a new one anyway.

Anyone have any BFIII ideas?

They can put EU stuff in as optional extras for fun, and they dont need more films to improve the game.

No one knows if Sifo Dias was really who he awas or if it was someone pretending to be him. Little information can be gleaned from the movie. Now back on topic (=

quote Thors_Hammer

Yes, actually I know who Master Sifo Dyas is:

Sifo Dyas

That Sifo Dias is EU, basically made up stuff by fiction writers and George Lucas' fans.

Oh! That would be great! Especsially on the 360! You could put bunkers and AA and planes everywhere! That would be fun, but complex...

They should expand Galactic Conquest to online play, and to optionally include EU worlds. Plus you should be able to purchase unit improvements, like instead of just starting out with a Super Battle Droid, the CIS can start with it's normal Battle Droids that debuted on Naboo, and you can improve them with credits.

And space battles should have more to do, like more on boarding, and better/different frigate diffences, hero ships, and the Death Star.

Yah, they should weaken droidekas sheilds a bit. They are far too cheap. Not only do they have two life bars, but they have one of the best weapons in the game, and high mobility when not sheilded.

And don't give me crap about how you just have to be good, I am good, and I do kill them easily, but they slaughter my helpless AI teammates.

Or maybe they should make my team mates smarter against them, like grenades and taking cover.

Their opinions were right, the Droidekas AI is stupid, but in the hands of a skilled player it is too deadly.

Next game they should do the following:

+ AI

- Sheilding

+ HP

I think weakened in exchange for brains. Because if you strength it and make it dumb, then players will insert their brains when they play them and make them into a killing machine with too much power and brains.

People say that there is not much more you can do with this game, but they are wrong. There is a lot of stuff, and besides the stuff I already mentioned they could have:

Alderaan

The popper droids that attacked obi-wan's fighter

Royal Guards

The Death Star for invasion by space and land

Droid Control Ships

octuptarra droids

Using factional bonuses like blockades and the death star

More than one level for some planets

The other planets besides Felucia that were seen in the cutscenes for order 66 like Cato Neimoidia and Saulecami

Air battles overtop some land battles (this feature can be turned off if wanted)

Hero Ships

B-Wings (maybe)

All of the vehicles not playable in the game but that are seen in the movies

Different health and ammo droids depending on what age you are in (the health droids in Episode III and Episode V look different, and you can use R2 droids and such as ammo droids/ vehicle repair for a certain age)

the purple sparky things the magnaguards used in the movies



And many others I can't think of right now. The point is, the Star Wars universe, even in just the movies, has so much untapped potential left.

I think Galactic Conquest online would be cool!

Wow this thread has grown a lot since I forget to check it under favorites. Funny thing is I have been thinking of new ideas lately. Like a return of Bespin in galactic conquest, the ability to purchase a bombing strike as a bonus in Galactic conquest (think of it: you get beacon, and run it to an enemy command post, and waves of TIE Bombers come flying over it after ten seconds, killing all in the vicinity and neutralizing the command post!).

Maybe a KOTOR/Mandalorian war era. Also alternate maps for each planet (like Jabba's palace, the city, AND the BFI Tuskan raider map as possibilities for Tattoine). And the return of neutral factions like the Tuskans!

Actually blowing up capital ships when you destroy all their crap would be killer to. I am also thinking that some more of those worlds barely shown during order 66 should be put in (like Felucia was). I know this has already been said, but I think that being able to spend massive money for troop upgrades in weaponry (like Elite rifles) would be great, or upgrades from battle droids to super battle droids.

Another thing that might be cool is if you could set it up so that spawns happen every 20-30 seconds, and instead of just appearing you and the other troops spawning come down in drop ships. It would also be neat if you could advance from one age to another, like start out with clone troopers and destroy the CIS, and then slowly buy Imperial age armor and weapons as you fight the rag tag rebels who also need to get equipped. Heroes should be useable in space (Jedi starfighters! Darth Vader's special TIE fighter! Jango Fett's fighter for God's sake!).

Planets talked about in the movies but not shown directly like Alderaan should also be used.

I do not expect all of these ideas to be good in practice, but I am throwing out everything that comes to mind just in case someone wants to build on any of them or it inspires new ideas.

You should be able to play the game as one HUGE massive long battle.

That's an excellent idea! Maybe that can be the campaign mode? And you can save while riding the capital ships to the next planet or whatever, and when you get there you can grab your weapons and armor and get on a ship to drop down to the next battle.

Keep up with the good ideas guys!
