Star Wars Battlefront Pre-release Boxart Release Date: 2015 Developer: DICE Publisher: EA Series: Star Wars Platforms: PC Xbox One Playstation 4 Genre: First-Person Shooter, Third-Person Shooter

Star Wars Battlefront is a first- and third-person action shooter game set in the original trilogy of the Star Wars Universe, released in November 2015. It is a reboot of the original Star Wars: Battlefront series originally created by Pandemic Studios and LucasArts in 2004, and is now developed by EA DICE, the studio behind the Battlefield series of games. Battlefront also runs on the third installment of the proprietary Frostbite engine that Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 use. A sequel to the 2015 Battlefront is planned for release in November 2017.

Many of the game's blasters are almost-identical virtual replicas of the prop weapons used in the films of the original trilogy, and a few of the new weapons created by DICE appear to have been based off of real-world small arms.

The following weapons appear in the video game Star Wars Battlefront:

Should I continue with this?

I'm gonna work on the descriptions and captions, but I'd like to make sure whether or not if Battlefront is suitable for a page here.--AgentGumby (talk) 13:27, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

The way this is set up, and the fact that these guns clearly are based on real firearms, maybe so? But I think instead of having the real name of the weapon in parenthesis switch them so that the real gun is listed and the fictional name in parenthesis.-SeptemberJack (talk) 13:35, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

I've been working on a page for this game for a while, I've just been too busy lately to finish it. I've already written descriptions for every weapon both in the main game and in the dlc and found as many of the real world counterparts tgat I could. I have it all saved on a Google doc, already properly spaced and formatted, it just needs to be copy and paste over. The only thing really left to do is add the final screencaps. I have most of the first images for the weapons already up, but no in-game caps yet.--One shot is all it takes. (talk) 14:02, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
