So I’ve decided to address one of the images hosted on the EAStarWars.com<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

In case you don’t know, a cybersquatter<\/a> has bought the domain, as well as the domain for EAStarWarsBattlefront.com, out from under EA’s nose, and will likely hold it for ransom.<\/p>\n

When you consider that EAStarWars is EA and DICE’s Twitter handle<\/a> for Star Wars: Battlefront<\/em>, the cybersquatters may have something, but that’s not what I care about.<\/p>\n

I’m annoyed that one of the images they’ve chosen to use is a rather short sighted set of reasons as to why the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront<\/em><\/a> is supposedly an inferior game to Star Wars: Battlefront II<\/a> <\/em>by Pandemic Studios.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Star<\/a>

This is why Battlefront II is supposedly a superior game.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whomever drew up this table seems to be far more concerned with quantity over quality, and content over an experience \u2013 it’s not an idea we prescribe to.<\/p>\n

For the moment, I can’t really argue in Star Wars: Battlefront’s<\/em> name; it hasn’t released yet. But I can hopefully dissuade you from jumping to conclusions based on a fairly weak, cursory argument.<\/p>\n

*For the sake of this piece, I’m going to refer to the part responsible for this table as nostalgic old-timer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Number of Maps<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While less maps is usually worse, it may not be in this case. Looking back, some of Battlefront II’s<\/em> maps were a little bare bone.<\/p>\n

With hindsight, you’d think some of the developers phoned in some of them, having hardly bothered at all. It’s certainly not the case for all, but it’s hard to deny this:<\/p>\n\n\t\t
