Tuggie’s LucasArts Twitter Bomb
Hey Battlefrontians.. for all of you who have not heard, our good buddy Tuggie from Gloom Walkers.com has prepared and organized a “Twitter Bomb” against LucasArts come this Saturday. For everyone who is not sure what a “Twitter Bomb”, it is simply when Battlefront 3 fans join together and send some friendly twitter messages to Lucasarts (via Twitter) and hopefully be really nice and give up some information.
Please be sure to keep this civilized and don’t simply spam Lucas Arts out of respect and consideration!
A message from Tuggie:
The time has come. Saturday, February 11th, we will unleash the fury of Battlefront fans with our darkside powers of…tweets.
Alright, alright it’s not no the craziest thing we could do, but seriously, Lucas Arts has done just about everything it can to limit fans contacting them via email, phone, and other social media. We’ve bothered Spark enough for now, it’s time to take our worries straight to the Publisher. Thanks to RogueStarKiller, he has devised a list of the importance and the method we will be following.
The instructions Tuggie has set up are pretty straight forward:
1. Sign the Battlefront 3 Petition If you haven’t alread signed this, click here and sign the online petition.
2. Create a twitter account if you haven’t already.
3. Send the tweet
@Lucasartsgames We want #StarWars #Battlefront3 Make the game and we will buy it! http://www.petitiononline.com/SWBF3/petition.html
Crazyness! For more information on this “Twitter Bomb” check out Tuggies forums at

I have never played the first Battlefront, but I loved the second one. I remember playing the second one a lot. In my opinion there should be another Twitter bomb if there is no information revealed after PAX. If Spark’s new game is something other than SWBF3, then a mass boycott of LucasArts should be organized.
Especially if the game Spark is making is a Lucas Arts game but it is not Battlefront 3. In that case we definatly need to send them a message and the best way to do that is by organizing a mass boycott of Lucas Arts and Lucas Films.

I cant believe that Battlefront 3 was so close to being finished back in 2008 and here we are still waiting for it. If Spark is making this game I get the feeling that they may be the developer of last resort.
no news is bad news
What I would like to see from Battlefront 3
-More armies (Mandalorians, Sith Armies, Old Republic)
-More Maps
-Character customization
-Able to match different armies against each other
(Such as rebels vs. droids, empire vs. clones)
-More Al units depending on the map
Ex: Geonosis- 20 Al units per team, rather than 16
For Polis Massa though, you could almost stand to lose 2-3 guys
And this is what I want the new swbf3 game to have, to be perfect: New graphics, better physical engine with ragdoll physics! Destroyable buildings and environment, being able to pick up enemies weapons, being able to melee your enemies! Just imagine this; You are a rebel soldier hiding on a house rooftop in mos eisley, an imperial scout trooper walks up and sees You But You quickly shoot a hole through his Helmet and sees him fall off the edge of the rooftop, immediately you are spotted by some stormtroopers standing next to another house, and your ammo is out, You have only one grenade left and with That one You blow a hole in the houseWall Next to the stormies and the Wall collapses right on to them, incapacitating most of them, You quickly run Down and melee smack the survivors and pick up their e-11 blasters and move on to the next command point!
That sounds prettey darn cool to me!
Are the stormies human or ai-controlled in this scenario. They sound pretty bad (just like real stormtroopers-cant hit the broad side of a bantha)!
This is all that I want for this game to be perfect:
Character customization similar to Elite Squadron (PSP)
Map customization (possibly similar to Halo: Reach)
Gameplay similar to Battlefront I and II
Maps from the first 2 games
More unlockable weapons (eg. three levels of pistol, rifle, etc.)
Troops and time periods that go beyond the movies (Yuuzhan Vong, Mandalorians, Old Republic)
Yeah Spark has had some games that received poor reviews but I think now it may be a different situation then it was a few years ago. They have been hiring new people and alot of it has to do with how much the publisher is willing to put into it. Dont get me wrong I would feel much better if a studio like Bungie was working on the game or at least a developer with a better track record. The first 2 battlefront games were done on pandemics in house game engine and they had their issues. If Spark is making this game and I do think they are I am sure it will be a big improvement over the previous 2 games. But as others have said, if this game that Spark is working on is a Lucas Arts game but it is not Battlefront3 and we have no good evidence that the game is being developed, then organizing a boycott might be the best way to go.
eo 103 is right Lucas Arts and Spark are made for each other LOL!! As bad as I want Battlefront 3 I dont know how I feel about Spatk unlimited making the game. But of course we all know how Lucas Arts has the winning formula for games, Make a bad game with Starwars characters and people will buy it no matter how bad it is.
6 years we have been wqiting and we still dont have any idea about when we are going to see this game. I agree you guys should organize a boycott.
The idea of the the boycott is to just let Lucas Arts know that we want Battlefront 3 and we will buy no other products of theirs until the game has been released or at the very least we see solid proof from them that the game is in development. After that the boycott will end. this is just to let them know that the focus needs to be on Battlefront 3.
I think we should start organizing the boycott of Lucas Arts and Lucas Films now! You can get 300 people to tweet or 300 000 people to tweet them, but the best way to give them a message is to reduce as much of the financial incentive as possible to make anything but Battlefront 3. We should have started this in 2008!!! It is not like they dont already know we want this game.
…Continuing from my previous post, (silly iPod) I asked if their game would be announced in the first half of 2012. They replied, “What I think is what I know, and I can’t disclose it. I will say it won’t be before GDC.”. This does two things to me. One, it says that they have a likely release date. Two, it most likely won’t be announced at GDC because if they were, that would be giving a stupid hint. Since e3 and PAX are the only major gaming conferences around that time, I am hoping for the best.
