HELL YES. HELL F'KING YES.

I hope to god this rumour is true. It could make the coming years, for gaming, transcend "brilliant" and become "godlike".
Star Wars Battlefront II was my first real game. It's on the PS2 (my little bros' machine now, when they're not playing Age of Empires all day) so the last time I played it was some years ago. But the game was tremendous fun - despite the deeply retarded AI and somewhat shot-up balance - and gives me lots of nostalgia when I think about it.
Playing an all new Star Wars Battlefront, with friends over XBL... reminds me that BF:BC2 (and the Vietnam expansion) is only a stopgap. A very fun stopgap, but still a stopgap that will hopefully pale in comparison to another Battlefront game. And this time, I won't arrive too late (and at too young an age) to catch the multiplayer aspect.
