Beta is available this weekend, anyone playing and what do you think?
My quick list of pros/cons
Pros:
-amazing graphics
-Fighting in Star Wars locales again, always fun
-from what I've seen, servers have been pretty stable/no issues getting connected and such
Cons:
-random spawn points
-no control points
-no classes
-no real battle lines, just a giant mess troops fighting
Other thoughts:
-I'm not a fan of the leveling/currency system in a FPS, but thats just me.
-I'm hoping they will have some single player options. I still had fun playing battlefront 2 against AI characters long after people moved on from the game.
-It is a fun game, but not sure if it's worth $60
I had fun despite getting owned in multiplayer. I guess the other players had been going for several hours with better weapons. I agree on the spawn points....it was very chaotic. Still a lot of fun though, and I love the option to do either first or third person. I don't buy too many games, but have this one on pre-order.
The core gameplay was really fun, but it seems pretty bare-bones. And no Clone Wars is a big mistake to me. I definitely don't think it's worth 60 dollars. Maybe $20-$30.

I'm having a good time with the BETA, but I do agree about the fight being one big mess. The map is huge, so anybody can just run around the outside of the map and spawn-rape. Pretty annoying.
It was fun and the graphics, sound effects, music really put you in the Star Wars world.
...and I'm not really a Star Wars fan. I mean I played a lot of the Star Wars games from the 90's and early 2000s, but never really got that deep into the universe.
I don't have any real gripes, I probably won't pre-order it but I'll get it when it comes out.
That being said, I would love some space battles, or the Death Star bombing run, especially with this graphics engine, but I think if this game does well, you might start to see some remakes and more games like this.
Are you saying you HAVE TO play this multiplayer? Like there's no point in buying the game just to play by yourself or with a friend in your house?
There's no campaign mode, but there is a single player/co-op missions. How many, I don't know. There was one available in beta, and it fending against multiple waves of enemies.
I love Star Wars and Battlefront 2 was very fun, this game wont get a dime from me though. No Clone War - PT era planets, heroes, clones, battle droids, no space battles. If they do a PT - Clone War version, ill pick it up. But right now? Nope
