I'm really trying not to get hyped up about this, but every trailer/ video I watch I just I can't help it...

Same happened with the first, i bought it based on trailers and it was fun for the first few months and then it got stale very quickly.

I'd say wait a few months to see what the general consensus is, but it's your money so you decide what you want to do with it.

Even if you got a few months out of it that's still good value for money lol

I go to the cinema it costs upwards of 20 quid for 120 mins

My total play time is 73:15:16 over those few months.

I've played more Base Command than the actual game.

Open beta starts on the 6th at 9am for us UK folks. If you've pre-ordered it you get access on the 4th.

lol it would be the sith and the force (be with you) dates

I presume pre-order early access is just for origin orders?

Dunno about this, with the last game allowing third and first person views it seemed like you were at a disadvantage using first person mode sometimes. Seen plenty of people say a lot of the weapons were easier to use in third person as well. This one seems to maintain the variable viewpoints from the last game =/

Will give the demo a try anyway i suppose.

I still play the old Battlefront II on Steam and just noticed a 3GB+ update is available which seemed odd, it turns out multiplayer has been made functional again, no third party faff required.

I love base command. Completely 3 starred everything. Hoping for base command 2!

That's awesome! Do you have issues joining any servers? It seems a little messed up for me at the moment.

If anyone has a spare beta key for PC I'd be very grateful, as I understand if you pre-ordered you got given an extra key. Cheers!

Just got my access key from amazon for today, downloading now. I hope it's a big improvement over the first. I just found it so bare-bones and shallow once the novelty wore off.

70 quid for a game are they f...ng mad ? What happened to 39.99 price tags ?

Got to admit, I was pretty stunned by the price too. I had actually contemplated buying it because, for all its faults, I generally enjoyed the first one, but there is no way that I am paying the prices they are asking for just a shooter.

How do they manage to get these discounts? £70\55 down to £35 for what i presume is the standard edition is a good difference in price.

I have often wondered that myself ! Maybe someone on here can tell us.

I think they buy them in bulk and at a cheaper rate?
