Nice find.  Good info.  I'm getting excited about this game.  

[Sennex 1,903]

This is all updated information, yes it conflicts with some of the above, The date on all of this is Tuesday the 21st, so I believe it is new information.

-------------------

Found this on Reddit:

PS2 Version:

Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War

Space battles

64 players on PC version (including tons of bots)

30 unique vehicles

26 Maps all with different variants.

Single Player Campaign

23 playable Heroes & Villains

Made by a great developer but the team destroyed by EA.

 

 

EA's next gen triple A game:

Only Galactic Civil War

No Space battles

Only 40 players with no bots.

Only 6 confirmed vehicles. AT-ATs aren't even playable.

Only 4 planets

No Single Player Campaign

Published by EA games.

 

Good job EA. You've made a sequel to a decade old game with not even half the amount of content as the original. I have no clue how anyone can defend this.

-------------
The above being said, I have some faith in DICE to make a great game, but I am sad now to see the game falling to the DLC trend of the last 4+ years.

DICE have confirmed they'll be 12 MP maps...

' Star Wars: Battlefront will have 12 multiplayer maps, publisher EA has announced.

In a recent blog post about the new planet Sullust, developer DICE noted that "there are even more locations when you include the Star Wars Battlefront Missions".

"Some of the maps support our epic modes like Walker Assault, while others are tailored to more intimate, close quarters combat," DICE added.

The developer also revealed more details about Sullust, including some concept art.'
