levelcap mentioned it:
I imagine for myself, it will be a mix of using both i.e. 3rd person for close combat in tight areas and then first person view for the more open/longer combat areas.
I'm not holding out much hope for the aircraft combat given what neebs said though i.e. he found he had good control and could hold his own (great channel but not the best of players....
), as long as they get rid of the floaty feel, I'll be happy enough and as x said, they have got rid of the automatic/buttons for doing tricks like barrel rolls etc. and seem to have taken bf 1's approach with regards to certain types of aircraft being better for turning etc.

I don't like or play multiplayer games, but predictably I love star wars, and I haven't been blown away by 'graffixxx!' for about 10 years. Looks absolutely stunning! Will there be any sort of worthwhile single player elements to this one?

There is a SP campaign, but they've showed next to nothing of it yet. I was hoping for more about it yesterday.
Just having a look at my emails for beta/alpha stuff, for SWBF, the closed alpha began on the 2nd July, can't find the beta emails I had but a quick google shows that the open beta was around the start of October.
Given how much I slated (well it was constructive criticism anyway) bf 1 and battlefront in their "surveys" after, they probably won't invite me again

Hope it better than the crap they pushed out last time. Just a few rounds on SWBF just for try it again after I quit it after the bespin DLC, With the whole 52 hours play!!!! Just because it was just a mess. But compared to BF1, Flying controls are still a joke, heros are a joke, DLC's spilt from normal map still a joke. Amount of players.... 3-4k.... 
... took 5min to find a game....lol only played 20min...
After looking at the videos and information... I'll leave it till it's out. I will try the BETA, but it was the worse game I have every bought so far with a 52 hours play.
Whats with the points for vehicles and stuff? So if your good, then your just getting all the goodies, no? Great with the DLC is all in the game. There listening, because if they don't people are just not buying it after the last one.
Hype train is ok for now with all the videos and it's all new.... but yea we will see. All the YouTubers & Twitch Streamers on that video... "it's all great and amazing"... bla bla zzzzzzZZZZZZZZ 5 months left for them to turn it a turd again.

haha this is the part that I always love, youtubers....
"ok guys this game is really good fun, the developers have listened to our points for the last game and as a result, I feel the game plays really well now, honestly don't think anyone will find much to complain about and remember this is an early alpha build so things will change for final release"
Fast forward to release, game hasn't changed much, if at all...... They play and upload footage for the first few months saying how fun/good the game is and then a few months later, the footage slows down to the point where there is no more then comes the DLC/patch/new content or whatever, they make a sponsored video for that and then never upload/play the game until the next content is out then come the next game and the cycle starts again
Can't stand that bumboy jack frags for this (they all do it to an extent but he is the worst)
This is why I like x as whilst he also does it to an extent, he is also very vocal about the issues at the same time, especially on twitter.

I completely agree however I'd rather get the popcorn out and listen to 5 hours straight of Jackfrags than 5 minutes of the idiots who refer to themselves as Star Wars HQ. They are essentially EA's fluffers and the most cringeworthy of all Star Wars/game related youtubers.

I have the same feeling.

You played a game you did not like for 52 hours ? I think you liked it more than you realize.......

I got it sale after the reviews where not so great. Played it, ranked up and found it not that bad with the standard maps. Then I bought DLC while in "oh new game mode... need more maps", then the play count fell of the cliff. Then I found out the DLC map were not on rota with the standard maps....... then I stopped playing.
I like the idea, Star Wars world and all that, but so many problems and been robbed for so little content.
Compared to other games like it I play where I get 100+ hours worth. It's bad.
It's a Sentinel, a droid programmed to relay messages and instructions from the Emperor after death. Now that we've seen that it looks likely this single player campaign is likely to be based around Palpatine's "contingency" which was what the absolutely awfully written new canon books by Chuck Wendig were all about which picked up where Return of the Jedi finished. It tracked the end of the Empire to the setting up of the First Order. Looks like we'll be getting a story very close to the events in those books.
Sometimes you are limited by choice that doesn't mean you like it.
Looks really good I have to say. Never got the hang of flying with M+KB, got thrown into the scariff map last night which started with a space battle then descended to the planet. The map progression was cool I have to say. But i have no idea how to fly so just spun about and got blown up :/. Is it possible to connect a gamepad and use it for flying only? If so might look into that as I used to love Rogue Squadron and Xwing vs Tie-Fighter back in the day. But I had a joystick back then.
If you loved X-Wing vs Tie Fighter then you'll hate the space combat in Battlefront....even with a joystick. I genuinely wish they'd made it a bit less casual and incorporated more elements from those good times like the power distribution, radar and targeting systems. Let's be honest though...just want an up to date X-Wing vs Tie fighter but I've long given up hope of ever seeing that.lol
To answer the question though...yes, you can hook up a game pad and use it solely for flying.

Yes. I have my xbox controller plugged in when playing - when I'm on foot I use the mouse and keyboard and when I'm flying I just pick up the controller and it switches instantly. Really handy for when playing the multiple stage Death Star and Scarif game modes that mixes flight and ground battles.
Oh yeah I know its nothing like it, was just that I used to enjoy the flying aspects. Glad you can use a gamepad though, I'll have to invest. Been meaning to get one anyway for some older games that don't work well with mouse + KB. Looking at your classic Tomb Raiders!
