Battlefront Online? Sources say it’s true!
Well this is some interesting new today, courtesy of Kotaku.com.au. They are stating, that their sources are saying that a Battlefront Online is in development, which sounds pretty sweet!
I’m not sure how everyone would feel about this because I guess it would be strickly online, which obviously means, no single player mode. I would like to have a single player mode but at this point, this news is better than the news of “Battlefront is dead”.
Check out what Kotaku.com.au has to say:

Rumours
Rumour: SOCOM Devs Working On “Star Wars: Battlefront Online”
By Luke Plunkett on January 29, 2010 at 4:00 PM
Star Wars: Battlefront III may have been binned, but we’ve heard from sources that the series lives on, in the form of currently-in-pre-production Battlefront Online.
The game, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, is currently being worked on by both Lucasarts and Slant Six Games, the studio responsible for SOCOM Confrontation and SOCOM Fire Team Bravo 3.
The title is still in pre-production, so there’s no guarantee that we’ll ever hear more of it – Battlefront having become somewhat of a cursed property after the recent demise of original developers Pandemic and buy-out of BFIII developers Free Radical – but Lucasarts’ insistence on getting a Battlefront game made in spite of all that gives us hope. A… New Hope, even (sorry).
Battlefront Online is, as the name suggests, planned to be online-only, and is tentatively slated to appear in 2011.
Whether this game was the source of that “Battlefront IV” concept art that turned up last year is unknown, but our sources tell us that it is the source of those voice actor rumours from December.”
Let’s hear all your opinions!

Looks NICE!!!!!!!!
Hopefully it has a singleplayer aspect as well as a dual person or 4 person capability!
guyz, I wish I could play in swbf3…. every rumour about this game is a hope for me. I’ve played in swbf2 for thousands hours and 99%of this time I’ve spent in multi so……. it’s a good move to make this game multiplayer only. I worry only about one thing- will it be on PC…..????
hey admin I tried looking at the Kotaku.com.au link you had there and it said that it does not exist. a little light on the matter would be appreciated?
He accidently put it as http://www.www.kotaku.com.au
Hey Wenis…
Are you the same Wenis from swbf3.net?
Just wondering
That makes me mad. so what? are they just going to trash the whole BF series now it is by far the best Star Wars game series that has been made! don’t get me wrong if they were just going to make it online it’s better than nothing but it would be hurting them in the long run I really don’t think to many people would just buy the game if it only had online play but yeah like admin said it is better than nothing.
I agree with you completely Receneps, why would anyone be so dumb but to trash the BF series. It’s too much of a risk to ignore it. Plus, with all the publicity this game is getting, why hasn’t anyone picked up the developement of the game!? It seems like an easy way to get a quick buck if you ask me.
so, basicly online means only multiplayer. like battlefield. I can totally live with that. to bad it isn’t made by Dice though.
This sucks cause if it’s anything like the previous game it isn’t the greatest multiplayer.
I’m kind of upset about the lack of single player. I mean not only in a online game will they not have a campaign but they also will not have a conquest mode, nor will LAN probably be available either. It seems like they are removing a large portion of the BattleFront Franchise.
ADMIN ! add this a company called about.com registered battlefrontonline.com november 16th last year!big corporations tend to use smaller companys to register domains covertly http://www.domaincheck.co.uk/search_results.htm?full_domain=battlefrontonline.com&submit=Check
I am hoping that the rumours of Console Versions mean that a Single Player mode will be a part of the package, but I shall hold my breath until something official.
No,I need a single player mode!!!
