#1) For system link is it 1, 2 or 4 Max players per console ?
#2) Will Bots be available in system link play ?
#3) How many consoles can be linked together MAX ?

from http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattle ... -site.html

-Multiplayer for up to 16+ players (plus AI units) online.
-Split-screen mode for multiplayer 'offline' play.

and from faq: http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefront/index.html

What is the maximum number of human players in an online game?
We plan to support at least 16 human players over the Internet for the PS2 and Xbox versions, possibly more with dedicated server support. For the PC, we plan to support at least 32 human players over the Internet. For LAN games, we plan to support 32 players for the PS2 and Xbox versions, and 64 for the PC version. Of course, the total number of players for any single game will vary with network conditions and hardware performance.

so it think:
#1) 2 player per console (splitscreen only in 'offline' play?)
#2) yes (16+ players plus AI units)
#3) 32 players (consoles) in LAN (system link) mode

Requires PlayStation 2 network adapter, Xbox Live kit and Internet PC for online multiplayer games.

my question: ps2, xbox, pc can all play together online? or seperated servers for each system?

Just played it this morning to blow off some steam .. PC version that is. Multi-Player sucks in the game ... even single player is not too fun, but for a 30 minute tension breaker I enjoy it. If you like starwars, you'll enjoy some stuff about it.

Good environmental interaction? What did/didn't you like?

I need a new mindless shooter game as Driv3r is getting old.

It is pretty mindless ..

Pros:
Lots of types of guys like Rebels, Clones, Droids etc ., the starwars feel, big battles, AT walkers, lots of dying (no blood though), good graphics, smooth gameplay.

Cons:
small levels, limited number of levels, no real options for multiplayer or single player. Basically only one thing to accomplish on each map you play, that is; take over spawn points and kill enemies !! yuppi .. gets kinda boring.

Anyway I would recomend the game as a really good tension breaker or quick time killer as it focuses on instant action 30 minute battles. Beyond that, I have no comment.

Ok, Star Wars Battlefront is like Battlefield Vietnam with 10x better graphics and 10x better gameplay. I love the sounds, charicter movement, models, animations, it is just an overall good game. It also has that little glowy effect that Prince of Persia had.

Driv3r can go to hell. It was a waste of my money. WTF is up with that jump?!

Just my opinion
