December?! That's a great release date for a film especially for young people/students due to Christmas break, but a HORRIBLE release date for a game. Hopefully it's just a rumor. OCT, NOV, DEC are big sales months and to miss all but the last few weeks is really going to hurt the game sales. If they want to promote the movie with the game, throw in those movie dollars with it. At the very least, the game should release prior to Black Friday.
Anyhow, I'm excited since I think DICE developing this is a match made in heaven for the series. Battlefronts basically played like BF conquest mode with capture points and has the same elements of mixing vehicles with infantry. Glad to hear they developed it as an FPS, hopefully it feels more like Battlefield with a Star Wars skin, but either way that's basically what Battlefronts felt like but as a TPS (they're making it an FPS). I hope they bring into this game Battlefield's signature classes (assault, medic, demolition, sniper) with their own mix of team support (ammo, health, repair, recon).
As for the name, I think it should be Battlefield: Star Wars Battlefronts, as that speaks to the union of these two signature franchises.
