It's 2015. 10 years since the second game and the best they can offer is less than that.. there's no need for speculation, this is EA we're talking about, you and the rest of the world know exactly how this works. We moved into the next generation of gaming and instead of getting ground-breaking massive games we got improved textures.
Example one: Forza Motorsport 5. Slightly better textures, minor updates here and there and around 50 drivable cars, bigger download than Forza 4.
Forza 4 looked great and played great, over 300 drivable cars.
Point being paying more to get less.

Compare Forza Motorsport 5 with Forza Motorsport 1 and then you have a valid comparison.

I want to purchase a Battlefront 2 that's come out in 2015.

Convince some studio to remaster Battlefront 2 on a new engine then, they did it with Homeworld and the results were great.
Except for the storyline playing out exactly the same to the letter as 15 years ago.

Not a game that's doing it's very best to offer just the tip of the iceberg then have you paying out of your eyes to get the stuff you loved the most.

It's almost as if games these days are taking advantage of new technologies that are available to do things that they couldn't do ten years ago to make the publishers more money...

I honestly wouldn't know. The first COD I played was COD 6.
As for looking better, the preview trailers I've seen for Battlefront not only look better than BFII but even look better than the original films, and to some extent even beating the HD prequels on Blu-ray.
Dunno about you but having computers generate content in real-time that look better than what it took film studios millions of dollars and thousands of hours to render just a few years back is mighty impressive IMO.

I personally dislike paying anything for any part of a game at any point after initial purchase, whether that be DLC, expansion packs, PtW content or subscription models. But that's just old-fashioned me. When I was a kid I'd go to a car boot sale, pick up a bunch of games on floppies and they were mine to keep and play forever with no further payment of any kind.
Then again when I was a kid Cableforum didn't exist, neither did Google, optical mice, or streaming video.
Things change.
