The public beta is out now and we can all download the game and play.
It looks nice, runs well. Although it has aim down sight, and first person it's not what we would call a "regular" shooter. Not like CoD or Battlefield. Not only is there no advantage to those things, you are actually at a disadvantage. There is no accuracy penalty to being third person just a better view of the battle. No improvement in bullet spread by being stationary or crouched, or aim down sights. In fact is you stop neal aim you are at a disadvantage. Aiming down sight slows you down and makes you an easier target.
It feels like a third person shooter with similar gunplay to Unreal or quake. Jump, run hipfire, keep moving all of the time. If you like that type of thing then great. As has been discussed there is no server browser, at this point I'm not sure if a large group of people have any chance of playing together.
It feels like a lot of fun if you are on your own and just want a game. What is unsure is if the game will be any good for an organized gaming clan.

What he says......run and gun. Ok for an hour or so, but becomes tedious. No teamwork options or command structure.

Yes it's Star Wars but it's an arcade shooter. Real fun but with the depth of a puddle.

I think over time more and more dlc will be released and make it a bit more chunky, but the server issue is a concern (cos that's what killed cod off as a game we could play)

We can give it a test tonight. If we can all get to play together then I'm sure we can give it a fair shake.

Yea the numbers for PC are terrible. It's a repeat of BF Hardline. There is no doubt that SW Battlefront looks amazing, sounds amazing and runs really really well with no bugs or glitches. It's just the gameplay that sucks. If only they had given us Star Wars Battlefield instead.

well I got it on ps4 and yes its good but yes its bad at the same time.
looks and sounds amazing. but is the most frustrating game ive ever played. if it was deeper and had proper server functions then it would be excellent.
