LucasArts are excited to announce that Star Wars Battlefront II has officially GONE GOLD on PS2, Xbox, PC and PSP and all versions are scheduled to blast their way onto store shelves on November 1, 2005 – day and date with the Star Wars Episode III DVD.

Star Wars Battlefront II takes the best-selling Star Wars video game of all time one Imperial-walker step forward with all-new space combat, playable Jedi, and never-before-played environments straight out of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Fans of the original Star Wars Battlefront will also enjoy an all-new single-player experience that takes players through an epic, story-based saga centered around Darth Vader’s personal stormtroopers, the 501st Legion.

Sweet....isnt the news about being gold suppose to be 2 wks before rls date?

Theres just over a week until the release date, and they have thousands of copies to make and transport around the globe

My Squadrons and I will intercept a copy.

Hopefully they fixed the bugs in the beta and solved all other issues. I just have this gut feeling that the game will be a letdown in some areas.

I got that feeling as well

Games at this scale is always comes as bronze. Take Battlefield2, it had so many bugs, it was unbeliable (major lag, major tking, people using the C||| to act like punkbuster, hacks to the server which messed every ones rank, etc...)

What exatly does it mean? Gone Gold?

It (the game) has been manufactured and is ready to be shipped out.

vanguard: *gasps* wow! i can't believe it, we'll be alert sir!
bic: good tell me when the shipemnt comes near, and remember we want to jack it not blow it up......

I am sure they fixed the bugs of the BETA, if not, they are already busy with patching it so you can fix all when you got the game. (it happend earlier that publishers released patches before the actual game..)

Well, thats where the BETA is for, isnt it? To test and fix all the bugs.

It happens all the time man.

the beta rocked! even for a final game!!!! but thanks goodness it's only a beta.... for i have high expections of SWBF2, but LA is problaly gonna fail me......
THE SUCKIEST PART ABOUT THE BETA IS THAT IT ONLY HAS 3 TRYABLE MAPS!!!!!!

meanwhile...
luke: han, come and try out the swbf2 beta! it's great!
*some time later*
han: AHAHHAHAH!!!!! i look ugly!!!!!!
luke:ahhahah! stop being a whimp, han....
han: omg! is that you luke?
luke:let me see...
han:hehehhehe....
luke:AHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!! no! my face! my beautful face!!!!! lucasarts runied it!!!!!!
han:hahahahah! talk about being a whimp.....
*Luke turns to... THE DARK SIDE!!!!!!*
luke: han did i ever tell you about the dark side?......
han:uh oh.....
*some time later*
george lucas: ahahahahha *ugh*

if you have no expectations, they will never be failed.

good point, but if i expect nothing, swbf2 would be worthless to me, and then i would't get it, and i can't have that..... (ok that didn't make sense.....)

Yea it did. If you expect nothing, you have no hopes and thus don't care about anything (such as getting SWBF2).

and if i didn't care, i would't get it, and then i wouldn't have thought about it in the first place, and then i would do nothing, and accomplish nothing in life... that would suck....

...well at least you won't get disappointed.

(Is there a point left in this thread? Its gone Gold has been stated and explained.)
