Didn't think I'd like it, not a SciFi fan...but after playing the beta today for just a while It was a lot of fun... not BF4 type fun, but fun... like the co-op wave thing, with friends could be like the old GoW co-op days we played... and even the MP was fun thou I died ALOT... can't believe you can't go prone thou.

will see.

Interesting, everyone I've talked to here and in person, and all over the web, indicates that it was an extremely poorly designed game. Compared to Battlefield it was a Ritalin required respawning nightmare biggrin

I will say I think it's one of those games where prone isn't really needed.

I suspect Magnum is looking at it from the COD small map, gun an run perspective which maybe he enjoys? This seems like it would be very similar to COD.

Others are looking at it from the comparison to the original Battlefront games... in which comparison this blows.

Or as I did in comparison to BattleField 4, which I enjoy the conquest large rounds with big maps, safe spawn location, destructible buildings, clear territory objectives etc... in which comparison this blows biggrin

I'm not talking about the large force on force combat, not to impressed with that... talking about the co-op wave mode where you have to defend as a group till an evac comes is pretty fun, mostly with friends. imo

I am having a lot of fun with this - especially the Hoth map. The one thing I wish the game had was the "build up" of intensity. As it is right now both sides are just thrown into chaos with both sides running to reach/capture objectives. I wish that the Rebel side would have some time to get situated to setup defenses - get into position in trenches or to into a laser turret. Then the Empire forces spawn in a position a little ways back to approach the objectives. Kind of like in the actual movie where you a building up to an intense battle scene.

I'm really impressed with the graphics and the SOUNDS. They've nailed the ambiance.

But, I'm not wowed with the gameplay. Seems a bit to chaotic (i.e. a little to CoD-ish for my taste) but I'm probably going to get it anyway. This was my most heavily anticipated game for 2015. But, in all honesty, so far, I'm finding the beta a bit disappointing. The maps are too damn small for one thing.

Anyway, I plan on buying it on launch, along with Fallout 4. I'm curious to see which of those two games I end up spending more time with.

I agree with you LeemzHQ. Impressed with graphics and the whole ambiance. I plan on buying it.

Looking online it is distressing to see the amount of writers foaming over the game. Without the Star Wars stuff it was just one really lame ass shooter.

Let me just chuck something out there.... you know you don't like the gameplay atm. And isn't that he biggest part to the game. So instead of buying at release and in effect telling the guys that built a dumb ass shooter "hey thanks for the turd that is wrapped up in starwars, here take my money". Why don't you hold off a little while and see if they make a game you will may like all round and you could even get it a little cheaper.

No matter what the reviews area like. If a crap game makes money, they will always think they did good and make another.

Its sometimes good to send a nice message of "just because it lloks like gold doesn't mean i will buy a painted ball sack"

But its your money, your decision.

Also every time you quit out of the beta you were given the option to take a survey. You could have answered you didnt like the gameplay every time you exited (like I did). I wont be buying this on launch and maybe not until it is bargain priced unless they do something significant with the other game modes.

Well I never said it was a turd. Those are your words. I try not to judge a game solely on the beta. I'm looking at the potential of the game based on the developer. I have faith in DICE. They made mistakes with BF4 at launch but now it's a very solid shooter. I think this game will improve over time as well. If it was from the makers of CoD I'd feel differently. I gave up on that after BO2.

I know they went out of their way to not make a BF clone with a SW skins. Frankly I'd have preferred that. But that doesn't mean this can't still be a good game on its own.

One game I have reservations about and I'm holding off on is RB6: Siege. I wont be buying that at launch.

But if you have more serious reservations about this title than me, then, by all means, send your message.

And I'm just explaining my thinking on why I plan to make a launch day purchase.

You know, just throwing it out there. thumbsup
