Will probably pick it up on the way home from work tomorrow and take some time out from Fallout 4 to play.

Too many folks playing Fallout (and also skeptical about how EA handles another online game launch). BF4 had a lot of issues.

I played about 1 hour last night... there is also a companion app with another game in it...(much like what AC has done)

Check it out in the app store as well.


I hope to be on mid day or at night... depends on when time frees up.

I played mostly walker assault last night but tried Supremacy, Blast, and Drop Zone.

How is it? Is it fun? I was reading that it was just ok but most of the negativity came from the fact that there's not much content yet and there's no single player campaign. I think it looks awesome but I'm anxious to hear opinions.

I think it looks and sounds great... i found the hour+ I played went by like nothing... so I must have been having fun. Although I love BF games and star wars so it's great for me.



For me, it is well worth the money.

I don't know who Strom is, but I would kick him in the nuts for the inconvenience he has caused you!

I didn't play much but I enjoyed it. Its like a simpliefied battlefield. You really do feel like you're in a star wars movie. It looks amazing and its at a constant 60 FPS.

picking up after work. I quit BF4 cold turkey so looking fwd to it. I think it will be worth it just for couch co-op with kid. After quitting BF4, really spent more time playing Plants vs Zombies garden Warfare. It was the perfect mix of simple and tweakable

Is it worth buying? I'm a huge Star Wars fan but keep hearing that this game gets old fast

The most complaints I see are the lack of content for the price and EA charging you extra for more content. The actual game itself is fine, and it is great if you don't have lots of time because you won't get raped by everyone else having all of these insane upgrades. The starting weapons are really strong for once and the others just depend on your play style. I am enjoying it more than Halo 5 or Black ops, but time will tell.

Picked up the Hobbit Extended Cut today from Best Buy and they told me I had a $55 reward zone credit so I snatched up battlefront. May not get to play it for a few days, but im focusing a lot on fallout when I do play anyways.

Fair warning, I never play first person shooters and I suck. Horribly.

As a more casual FPS guy I am loving it. The progression system is much more basic than a Battlefield or COD game, which turns off a lot of the guys that dump 100 hours into the FPS games. But for someone who will probably only play this game for 20-40 hours, it is perfect.

Also, the fact that the bonuses (big weapons, vehicles, heroes, etc.) are just pickups as opposed to killstreak rewards is great for casual fans. I have literally never even seen a nuke in COD because I will NEVER put together a 5 kill streak in my life, but I have already played as Vader, piloted an X-Wing, etc.

If you are a hardcore FPS player, Battlefront may disappoint in it's "simplicity", but for a casual guy, and a fan of Star Wars, it is phenomenal and WELL worth the investment.

I only had about 15 minutes to try it today. Initial impressions:

Sweet graphics, awesome music and sound.
Very watered down in terms of a shooter. Glad it only cost me 5 bucks so far.

Is this thing going to be the usual $60 and then $50 more for premium?
Cromagnum

Yes, though who knows when all the DLC is coming or whats in it. They are already working on the next entire Battlefront game so the other question is whether its even worth getting the DLC at all.

Yes. Typical EA bullsh't. They give you half of the game for twice the price.

This game is pretty awesome for PS4. Can anyone explain how season pass works? Is that like buying all of the future maps and weapons all at once instead of individually?

Something like that.

So far, I'm loving the game. Supremacy and Drop Zone are my favorite modes.

It's really grown on me now that I have leveled up and unlocked some cool stuff.

I like playing Supremacy, but there seems to be major spawn problems.

My 6 year old is playing right now and got to be Vader, he was standing in the middle of the map and the other team kept spawning on top of each other in the same exact spot. He killed over 40 in a row. I will never be able to top that!

What kind of 6 year olds are we raising these days?

I couldn't even beat battletoads on NES when I was like 8, much less play a multiplayer FPS.

I questioned it myself. He loves SW and shooting things so I just let him go. Most of the time he is killed quickly, he really lucked into the spawn point thing.

I have seen AT-STs also camp that same spot since then.

Wasn't Battletoads rated one of the hardest games to beat of all time?

Meh. visuals are awesome. First time through everything is amazing. But then the insanely crappy game mechanics shine through. Game gets old and boring pretty fast even in multiplayer. The gun play is 1/10. The strategy is 1/10. Plane flying mechanics are 3/10. The constantly having to run stupid long distances on re spawns is 1/10. Visuals and sound are 11/10. I'm big Star Wars fan and I'm already pretty much done with it until the Jakku map comes out in December. Buy it used next month for half price when everyone starts dumping it after getting bored.
