If it doesnt have at least lighsabers, it isnt a star wars game.

Its like having Call of Duty without guns.

[NewZealander]

weather on not it has lightsabers is the least of its problems, if this game is being made by spark then you have to wonder if it will even be playable.

[megacowdung]

Is spark really that bad?

[NewZealander]

yeah mega they are that bad, on metacritic legendary scores 47/100 turning point is 43/100 and COD finest hour scored better with 76/100, but overall they are a rubbish company, i dont believe anyone would trust them to make a starwars game.

[TENTONGUN]

lightsabers rock man. and where the hell is our new jedi outcast game? seriously those were the best sw games. and why force unleashed? could have spent development time and money on something better

[CrimsonEngage]

If this is some sort of sick joke i swear someone will pay! I NEED SWBF3. I throw my money at the screen, yet nothing is happening!

[Kinger8938]

Half these rumors are just people stating the obvious on what will be included if the game is being made either way glad its being talked about!

[vickers500]

Lightsabers AND shooting? Meagaton

[Ilovetheps5]

Oh please let these rumors be true. I want another console Battlefront. These games were so much fun when I played them a while back. I still pull them out and play them every once in a while.

I hate to say it but this news is not about SWBF3. I absolutely loved the first two games, and have been following the development hell of this game since at least 2007. This guy, John Lawrie, who described developing a 3rd person sword fighting game isn't SWBF3. Spark Unlimited was in development of a game after their last release (Turning point) which was the 3rd person sword fighter. But in Jan. 2010, for whatever reason development stopped. And as always with the games industry, when a company loses development like that, layoffs happen, and that Lawrie guy along with a good number of other employees all stopped working at Spark in Jan 2010.

And interestingly it was April 2010 when Spark put their current 'unnannounced' game up on their website. Its interesting because also in March/April 2010, Slant 6 stopped development on Star Wars Battlefront online.

Long story short, the 3rd person swordfighting game with stealth features isn't/wasn't SWBF3, or perhaps more appropriately, Spark's current 3rd person sci-fi adventure.

i hope battlefront really will be announced

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Stealth eh? interesting.
But for now, I just care about an official confirmation of the game.

Probably stealth as in a stealth class, similar to team fortress 2.
