I've got the 16GB of memory, but a 2GB card. It ran very well on ultra for me. I could tweak it for more fps, but it was over 30 anyway and ran fluidly. The game is just too chaotic to play. As good as it looks and sounds, there's just nothing to it. Spawn, die, spawn die. Unlike the old games, you have no control over where you spawn in on the map--either random point or by a squad member you don't know anything about. You can't run to a hanger and take off in a snow speeder, you just get lucky finding a random token on the map. Typically it spawns you in right by an enemy who promptly kills you before you can get your bearings. There's nothing tactical, it's just a contest of individuals working on their k/d ratio. I hope they change all of that for the actual game, but I doubt it. What a waste of an opportunity. I've been looking forward to this for a long time, but they blew it. Dropping my pre-order.

I, unfortunately, feel the same as RK. I want to love it, but it's really just a lesson in frustration, compounded by the fact that the presentation is so good, the game itself is just way too unorganized. You don't spawn anywhere tactically, it's completely random, and your always surrounded. No one cares about the objectives, there just isn't any tactical game play, it's really just Team Death Match w/ blasters and light sabers. But it's the game itself that shoots itself in the foot, because just a little more effort would have made a huge improvement.
The force is strong in this game, but it's unfortunately, gone to the dark side...

[quote=Raw Kryptonite]This review spells it out perfectly. About 4 mins in. [video:youtube] Yep he nails it exactly for me as well, uninstalled the beta after an hour. Spawn, pew-pew-pew, death, rinse and repeat, not fun. Maybe the full game will have more who knows. It's a Star Wars game for kids, and that's cool with me as I won't be playing it. Mick.

Yeah I can't believe that they couldn't even keep the good maps and destructibility of BF4, they totally missed the mark, I cancelled my preorder.

I am a huge star wars fan. But this game looks sh1t. Seriously outright sh1t.
Just because its got skins and music of star wars, does not make it a star wars game.
This pile of poo really isn't for me and the low down dirty trick of offering prizes to reviewers who get people to buy it is disgusting.
Take it and shove it. This pile of excrement won't see my money.

Sad to see this fail. I got excited when watching the trailers, but they seemed to drop the ball big time with this one.

They should do a Star Wars mod for Arma3.

Well that is the sad thing. People are happy to sell a polished turd. Worse though is people wanting to buy a polished turd.
Are games that boring that crap like this can sell like hotcakes. Or is the wonders of starwars that is selling this crap

Yeah I cancelled my preorder because I don't want to pay full price for a shallow possibly unfinished game, which will launch in a month and can't be postponed due to the movie tie-in, how much could they change from the beta in a month?
BF4 is a great game now, but it launched in terrible state, let's hope EA can fix this.
