Well Battlefrontians, it looks like Kotaku.com has come through for us again! Over the last few days they have reported that Star Wars: First Assault is “the troubled multiplayer shooter that could be LucasArts’s downloadable take on Battlefield and Call of Duty” and also the “predecessor” for Battlefront 3.
Today they have posted 2 video clips of game play footage from Star Wars: First Assault! It actually looks really, really good and I can now see why everyone has dubbed it a Call of Duty knock off.
“We’ve got two clips of First Assault, both cut from a trailer that was designed for internal use at LucasArts back in October/November. This is footage from an older version of the game, and may not be a perfect reflection of what First Assault looks like today, but given that LucasArts won’t talk about the game, this is all we’ve got.”
“The first clip is the pre-rendered intro to the trailer. It gives you a look through the eyes of a Stormtrooper putting on his helmet”
“The second clip contains gameplay footage from Star Wars: First Assault. In this clip, you can see stormtroopers and rebels battling across various Star Wars locales, like the desert planet Tatooine. It’s very reminiscent of multiplayer mode in a first-person shooter like Call of Duty or Battlefield or Lucas’s own Star Wars: Battlefront.”
Update from Kotaku:
“UPDATE: Following a takedown request sent from Lucasfilm’s legal department to our parent company, Gawker Media, we have removed both videos. Lucasfilm claims copyright on them and has also been pulling down versions of these clips that were ripped onto other sites on the Internet. We can assume that the next time you’ll see the game—if you see it again—will be when Lucasfilm wants you to.”
Star Wars: First Assault Leaked Gameplay by starwarsfirstassault
Let me know what you think! Love to hear some opinions on these!
Star Wars: First Assault Leaked Footage,
Has anyone thought about posting an AMA request for the LucasArts/LucasFilm CEO or something like that on Reddit? I bet that would help get the message across pretty fast that not many people like the current Star Wars games. The Reddit community won’t hold back.
Look at us, we waited so long for battlefront 3 that any crapy Star Wars game will make us happy. They should just give us battlefront 3, not some crapy Star Wars game.
The helmet cutscene looks really similar to halo reach’s opening cinematic. The gameplay looks like a complete mess and buggy I hope that leaked stuff is old.
dam the videos already been taken down D:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I used to play this. This is a BF2142 mod that is awesome but a pain to install.
Could of looked worse,it does look at least decent,and again if their plan was to use this engine for SWBF3 and me buying it will help that happen,then i am all for it
i am interested about the First Assault tweet that said official news coming soon..hopefully its good news
Wait, which tweet are you referring to?
Sadly, Disney put it on hold. Doubt it will ever see a release
I just wish we could fight back, i want good SW games again!
sorry for late reply

no idea if its real or not,hopefully it is,it only just popped up yesterday
Don’t worry it’s cool, I found it right after I asked anyways.
I don’t really know what to make of it. It would probably be best to assume its fake, but at the same time it’s worth keeping an eye on.
We just need to figure out more ways to get people in the know of everything going on with Battlefront III and First Assault. Even though there’s a facebook campaign and a few Youtube pages dedicated to Battlefront, they still don’t have the massive following necessary to stand up to Disney and LucasArts.
They seem to have got very, very far with this, if they have a teaser trailer ready. I hope to heaven they finish it.
Here’s a YouTube link if anyone prefers that.

Thank you sir!
It reminds me more of republic commando more than COD or Battlefield.
Well, the trailer was definitely like Republic Commando, although the second clip seems like COD/Battlefield. Not sure what I think about this, but we’ll see…
Looks alot like Halo 4. I’m not sure where the COD comparisons come in though. The hardlight shields, the HUD, everything looks like they took inspiration from the most recent Halo games. That could be a bad thing but if it FEELS like Star Wars and not just Halo with a Star Wars skin it could be amazing.
