Sounds like I'm one of the very few actually enjoying this game?
I am as well actually. At first I didn't, but now I'm used to it and am actually half decent it's quite fun. More so when you're on a Rebel side who knows what they're actually doing.

You mean who know where the points that let you snipe the vehicle spawns.
If i'm on the imp side all i need to do is work it that i get walker after walker. Spawn, grab, kill.
Been along time since iv played much FPS multiplayer and my pet peeves are still present.
Being shot from no where by people you cant see. Spawning next to an enemy and getting shot before I even have time to react. Shooting a player with my crosshair exactly on him first but then he kills me lol.
I'm loving the game but these things cause me to rage after a while.

That review pretty much nails it. Even a non Star Wars fan such as myself can appreciate the fantastic atmosphere they've created, but the gameplay is so random and shallow. The maps looks good but they don't seem to have been designed with an actual battle in mind - they're a pretty sandbox for you to run shoot and die in.
It just makes me miss Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
I was reading all the comments on this thread thinking what a bunch of trolls. The game looks gorgeous and its SW. How bad can it be?
Installed the game. Loaded it up. Started playing it. Triple monitor setup, smooth as silk. Looks gorgeous. And its SW....
And then theres what Frenzy said... which is spot on...
Sad thing is, this is a beta and its near enough a representation of what the final game will be like...

Those of us who played the alpha did try telling you lot many times that once you look past the star wars theme, graphics and audio, the game play itself is disappointing
Well to be fair, I never like to knock something before trying it for myself...
Some people do like the game on here, it seems to be like marmite
Actually no that's not fair to say, Ive only played it for 30mins, but it hasn't grabbed me.

Those who buy the game this is a taste of more things to come unfortunately.
^^
Yeah unfortunately I can see cheating being even more of a problem in this game than any other DICE game
Yeah fair enough if people like the game, although I can't help but feel that a lot of the people who like it, it is purely because "star wars/graphics/audio" and if this was just another modern FPS/3rd person shooter, it would be getting a massive panning by most of those people too.
I think what has annoyed me the most and others who played the alpha is that we give plenty of feedback and they didn't listen to any of it and most of the issues that people are mentioning are the issues that we also brought up for the alpha i.e. people sneaking behind where you spawn, imperial side being more powerful, no spread/recoil, ADS/zoom being useless and just putting you at a disadvantage, the vehicle/gadget pick up system, no proper squad system like BF etc. etc. Instead of addressing all of those issues, they went and added even more game breaking stuff i.e. jedis, that sniper rifle gadget.
Whilst people might be enjoying it now, I can see the game being dead after a few months like hardline, titan fall etc. both of which I actually prefer to SWBF

Ended up doing an OS re-install and it seems to have fixed it

Agree with what you say. Im massively disappointed by this, the visuals in the game do too much justice to the game and block the gameplay out without trying it.
EA may have shot themselves in the foot here by releasing this to beta, may have prevented a fair number of sales.
Even better, so the big villain of the original trilogy somehow gets the good guys fanfare instead of the obvious imperial march.
So many games I am in, I constantly see players being banned? Why?
And yes, being Star Wars makes this game pretty big for me and the sound / graphics really set the theme nicely. The maps seem a good enough size to make you feel apart of a large team and the battles are never ending all around you.
Being gunned down from afar is annoying, feel cheated from a kill is annoying and even feeling the cross-hairs aren't giving you accurate hits is annoying, but I don't feel this game is much different to other games in regards to the way it plays or feels.
Sure some things need changing up a little but in general I don't feel this is a bad game by any standards.
Spawn points need fixing though, too many times we spawn and instantly get murdered. Spawn points in this should be made like the spawn points on BF4's Rush. Atleast give us sometime to get into the action.
I'm also not too sure we should be able to sprint for however long we do.

what's the non online parts of the game meant to be do weknow? i'm sure i heard youcan do it all playing against AI? if so, can this be done with friends? any single player story mode? given the tiny nature of the maps and simpleness of the game i imagine not unforately.
