That poo poo was so infuriating to young me. Got all excited for a SW RTS and it was just literally a shittier AoE2. Empire at War was awesome all modded up (autoresolve ground battles because lol).

Does Battlefront 3 really only have 4 maps?

e: lol at their share price. might be good time to buy though bc you know their sales numbers will still be fine.

Depends on how you look at it. It has four planets, each of which has multiple maps. Some share assets, some don't.

Total maps (including asset share): 12
Totally unique maps (extremely minor or zero overlap): like 7 or 8
Maps for modes that are good: 4

If they start supporting it like TF2 I'll buy it eventually. Of course they won't because it's EA so I'll buy it never.

why do people keep calling it battlefront when it should clearly be called "Spawn, Then Die Immediately, and No You Can't Be Darth Vader"

Oh, so 5 maps for $60 with no single player. That fixes everything!

There is no campaign. But there is single player battles vs bots or splitscreen versus with one human per team + bots. There is also single player or coop (splitscreen or online) survival missions.

But it's not 5 maps is it, it's 5 settings with multiple maps in each setting. This is like being mad that Halo had more than one snow/winter map. I mean I don't like EA very much and I'm not going to get this game but c'mon guy with the hyperbole.

The no galactic conquest mode and no space battles is way more egregious imo (because you just know they are coming as DLC).

Is there at least a "fake" campaign, like in Battlefront 2 (never played Battlefront 1, don't know if it had this) where you just fought bots on multiplayer maps and got objectives like "blow up this thing for story reasons."

No. The only vs bot modes are a Survival "one or two players against waves of enemies" or a TDM-like mode with one player per team with a bunch of bots backing them up (can be versus or solo).
