Please, enlighten me.
Even the names are almost identical, and some of you actually believe that Battlefront was a completely unique IP that [i]didn't[/i] rip off Battlefield?

Well duh....why wouldn't they be similar? The first Battlefront game was following on the success of Battlefield 1942. EA back then decided to keep the same basic format of gameplay probably because they knew it would work. Obviously there would have to be some differences (such as weaponry, combat, modes, maps, etc) because Star Wars is a completely different setting than WWII. EA was also smart to include playable heroes and villains from the Star Wars movies.
