Some hate it, and some love it, but a select few hate Battlelog so much that it would stop them from getting the game entirely. Ever since EA implemented Battlelog its “truly connected experience” in Battlefield 3, we have seen some backlash from the community. Many people love the stat tracking and stat comparing tools that come with Battlelog and some absolutely hate it.
When it was first announced that DICE would be working on the next Star Wars: Battlefront title many people were worried. If there is one series that has had its fair share of crappy games, and excellent ones as well, it’s Star Wars. The Battlefront series has sold very well over the past few years, even the titles releasing only on the Playstation Portable.
Many fans of the Battlefront series are worried about this next instalment. They are are worried now that Battlefront is being developed by Dice and EA that it will be more of a Star Wars skinned Battlefield. The confirmation of Battlelog’s inclusion in Battlefront 3 only fuels those fears.
In truth we won’t know what the next Battlefront is like until we get the opportunity to play it. I will be reaching out to EA to comment on Battlelog’s inclusion in Star Wars: Battlefront 3 and discuss some fan concern. I’m not getting my hopes up though, EA isn’t exactly responsive when it comes to interviews.
What is your opinion on Battlelog being included in this next installment? Will this stop you from playing the game? Let us know in the comments below.

I for one welcome this. I, as everyone else, hated battlelog when it was launched but it has grown on me and now I actually enjoy it. I like my numbers, I like my achievements, I like knowing how I did that round after shooting a bunch of people in the face, giving orders and capturing a bunch of objectives (PTFO noobs!).
One thing that I do hate is having all that information thrown on my face during the game and I love that BF has the option to turn all rewards, upgrades, unlocks, etc messages OFF and I can check them out in battlelog. Hopefully they will keep those options available on Battlefront.
I actually welcome DICE’s interpretation of Battlefront because even if it is just Battlefield set in the Star Wars universe, I love Battlefield and THIS is exactly the direction Battlefield would need to take to keep my interest. Although it isn’t exactly true to the Battlefront series.
Funny thing, they’ve said they don’t want to make “Star Wars: Battlefield”, though I have a feeling that’s just what we’re going to end up with anyway.
Battlelog works good in terms of organizing information and I like how it can be updated independent from the game itself, but it’s annoying to use. Opening up a web browser to launch the game is a huge step backward. It should be better integrated into the game.
In other news the sky is blue
Astrophysicists predict that the sun is going to set tonight and rise in the morning.
BF HARDLINE it will be a Nvidia game yay
I just want the bots, galactic conquest mode and the mod support back. Anything less would just be another regression. Also, EA said they want to push Ultimate Team in games that aren’t sports games so if they try to sell you a rogue squadron character pack for $10 for the love of god don’t buy that s**t.
Battlefield HARDLINE it will be a Nvidia game!
No it won’t be.
Yes it will be !
Nvidia just paid a ton of money for BF Hardline to not have Mantle and also to be one of thier games!

Yes it will be check the Nvidia GeForce Games section!
Also GTX 760 and R9 290 hmm i should know since then!
In other shocking news – Star Wars Battlefront will use the frostbyte 3 engine, and it will also be made by DICE. I will be released on consoles and PC..
Lol. 😛
Detailed stats and progress tracking as a web/app experience is great.
However, having to launch a multiplayer game from a web browser with a plugin, for PC players felt annoying but not to the point that i won’t play the game, maybe it will impact the time i stick to the game, if the process of jumping into it is as cumbersome. Or maybe it’s fixed and smooth now? I dropped BF4 long ago.. because of this.
I can just feel them making this into another BF4 reskin which would make me never buy another EA game again!
We all expected that.
I don’t understand. Is this information or opinion?
information
To be honest I’ve grown to like Battlelog after BF3, BF4 & MoH: Warfighter. Besides programs like The All-Seeing Eye which was once great for BF1942, BF Vietnam, BF2 & BF2142 etc aren’t around anymore.
This just reminded me of my friend asking me when call of duty blackline is being released. lol
Battlelog doesn’t bother me. I think it is a lot better than some games implementation of a server browser in the game itself and I would like to hear any justification as to why it is supposedly so horrible.
In regards to Battlefront being a Star Wars skinned Battlefield; good. That’s exactly what I’m hoping for. Hot graphics and pew pew laser beams while stomping around in AT-AT’s instead of tanks, Speeders with explosives strapped to them, and buzzing around in tie-fighters. Sounds perfect to me.
I don’t give a rat’s a*s about Hardline but please stop spewing your bullsh*t all over the site.
Sorry not my fault bad moderation!
Oh joy, another Browser + Plugin-based Server Browser.
YEAH, GOTTA GET ME MORE OF THAT SH*T.
To clarify: Expected this to happen, just hoped they’d have learned by now, but I guess not. Pity, but that’s just how it is. Never planned to buy Day 1, still won’t. Will still probably pick it up after 6-12 months at a heavy discount just to see the sexy Environments & Hoth in HD, once they’ve patched up the massive, gaping bugs that will no doubt accompany this Launch, as usual.
I no longer desire to play this. Had my doubts, but this sums it up. Don’t trust EA or Dice enough to buy at launch anyway, nor do I want to buy another shity season pass. See you in 3 years when the full game is out.
my interest is fleeting
