Had a play earlier. Looks nice, runs great.

Doesn't hook me though, something about the gameplay is just meh, can't put my finger on what I don't like though. So I guess it's just not for me.

Probably the gunplay which is.....well crap? Just seems to be a spray and prayathon at anything resembling mid to close range.

Not good

Also not impressed by it at all. Seems like COD and Battlefield had a baby and instead of a beautiful child, it turned out to be a tumour. The gunplay is diabolically bad!

Pros
- Nice movement
- Graphics on ultra are pretty sweet for the most part
- Excellent authentic sound

Cons
- drop pod mode is basically COD team deathmatch
- you're FORCED (no pun intended) into power ups and perks or you're a free kill
- abysmal level design
- boring after 30 minutes playtime
- arcade focused and feels like battlefield hardline....
 
Haven't played the game.

But the thing putting me off is the small number of players per team.

I don't touch games which are 8vs8 and under. That's COD and that's why I stopped playing it.

Do we know if it does or will use Punk Buster?

Yeah. Personally I quite enjoyed the vehicles (kind of) and the cycler rifle or whatever it's called. But the actual main blasters are just crud. Far too weak and not satisfying to use.
 
Played this for about half an hour tonight and I'm not sure what to think to be honest.

Graphics are good and are relatively achieveable. SLI 770's @ 1440p on ultra produced 55fps so the recommend specs are stupid.

Gameplay - the only one I liked was the big 40 player one.

Sucks so bad. One for the kids as is battlefield these days, casual to the max.

i've only watched youtube and twitch but that's my impression of it too. just casual simple gameplay with quick easy boring kills. i've not seen any footage of a player lasting very long. they just run out, kill and get killed after 10-30 seconds, respawn and repeat. i want to be able to survive 5+ minutes achieving something.

Good job its 20v20 then lol

it uses fairfight instead of punkbuster, not sure which is best
 
for the guys complaining about it being run and gun free for all and not being able to camp for 5 mins, you do realise this is battleFRONT not FIELD don't you?

Its been around in exactly the same iteration for years which is why theyve gone for the same style again. Also I dont remember seeing many camper stormtroopers in the films either, they were pretty much a spray n pray kinda trooper.

Must have been a dozen in the game i was just in.

Is it me or do imperials always win on the atat round.

No good way of killing atst's either

Yeah thats one of my main gripes at the moment, imperials always win without fail, don't think ive seen a single at-at destroyed yet :(.

At-st's seem to go down with turret use and that rocket launcher you can pick up
 
I've only won once or twice on rebel so far. Occasionally taken down 1 AT but most games end with both at >60% easily. Horribly balanced.

Fun on the whole though and it looks great.
