Star Wars meets Battlefield 1942.

Now it says PS2 and Xbox *spits* but importantly PC
BF1942 is about the only game I've been playing for a while so rather than a crappy unofficial buggy galactic mod for it i think this has the potential to be something quite special...if done right of course.

If they did do it correctly then Lucasarts will have my money in their pocket because I think it would kick buttacus.

"Think SOCOM's online-multiplayer experience, only with a wide variety of characters to choose from and a bunch of cool Star Wars vehicles to operate. You can play in the Galactic Civil War or the Clone Wars, meaning you can choose one of four armies to command (Rebels vs. Imperials or Republic vs. Separatists). You can't mix and match sides (e.g., no Republic vs. Empire), but battles can take place on any planet. As for the vehicles, Battlefront includes pretty much every major ride you've seen in a Star Wars flick. Yes, even AT-ATs. Yes, even X-wings. Hell, you can even mount a tauntaun. Better yet, certain vehicles carry multiple troops: One player drives as the others man guns."

Fingers crossed eh.
