Really need to see some SP content before I get too hyped.

No I don't believe it does actually - I haven't played it for a couple of months now but I'm sure I would have noticed if does - as it does with some other games with the controller plugged in. Come to think of it - I'm having a replay through of Resident Evil 5 just now and plugged the controller in because of the infuriatingly stupid QTEs in the boss fights that want you to press F+V together within half a second - I mean is this supposed to comfortable for keyboard users!? Not for me - I miss it more often than not so I use controller for the boss fights where it's just a single button to press. Again, like Battlefront you can just pick up the controller and it switches instantly and it doesn't rumble when I switch back to the keyboard either... I guess some games do and others don't.

Yeah as a general rule I won't spend more than £10 on a campaign that lasts less than 10 hours so it's all about how long the campaign lasts for me. I'm no speed runner either - I took 18 hours to complete Resident Evil 7 so those 10 hours could be considered generous.
I'd be very surprised (and pleased) if the campaign lasted longer than six hours! But that's not what battlefront(field) games are about. I was disappointed with BF1 campaign in that it was a short boring one man army (been there a million times before) type game albeit with snatches of brilliance(!)
The multiplayer element of battlefront is what I sunk 150 hours into and enjoyed despite numerous people on here telling me how bad it was

Battlefront is the only multiplayer game I've ever seriously played - it's just not my thing but I decided to give it go just for the modern Star Wars experience. I did put over 100 hours in to it but can't say I feel compelled to play any other multiplayer shooters. I enjoy the single player campaigns of the Call of Duty and Battlefield games when I'm in the mood but I always pick them up in a sale because they are always so short... I'd love to try Titanfall 2 but only for the campaign so it'll need to come way down in price before I pick it up or even better, maybe it will become available through Origin Access.

Had zero interest in this and didn't play the first game but after watching this video!

Is the first star wars game busy?
I've got back into playing it in last couple of weeks and not had any trouble finding a game. Though I just select the 40 player games. Not sure what the smaller ones are like.
Looks like this will require a lot more team work and tactics this time round rather than just being down to luck and having a good squad or 2 of the traditional "solo" FPS good players dominating servers. I was wanting BF classes but tbh this looks a lot better for team work purposes.
Epic fail there then, 2 man squads and 4 classes..
I tried to join you for a game a couple of nights ago, but it looks like you'd just left the server. I assumed it was you who caused it to empty and apportioned blame appropriately

They have 4 man squads now but as per usual, they take 1 step forward and 2 steps backwards as the squads are random i.e. when you die and other people die, you all get put into a squad so you are never in the same squad, they probably did this automated method as so many "casuals" never join squads.....
This image pretty much sums it up
I will be shocked if they don't allow you to stay in a squad of your choosing.... Surely they aren't that retarded?!
Ah I didn't see that you tried joining me, (I have origin overlay turned off and in game chat hidden). Haha no idea what the rounds were like a few nights ago, in SWBF, you seem to have one great game then next round you get trashed, it is very odd, probably down to DICE's god awful team balance system.... i.e. last night, I have never seen a team get destroyed so quickly in walker assault, we (empire side) had literally pinned them right back, practically in their deployment zone..... then next round, it happened to us.
Ah is that new in bf 1 then? Can't recall of it being in bf 1 other than the ******* nightmare of automatically locked squads......
Yup I imagine that will be the case when partied up but what I find worrying is that no youtuber has mentioned/cleared it up yet..... :/

Does anyone know if there is going to be any VR content in Battlefront 2 ?
Can't stand the guy but it was a good summary and addressed some main points, all in all, it still sounds like a super arcadey casual game
I'll still more than likely pick it up and play it just for the "star wars" setting and an improved game compared to the current one and of course single player, won't pay more than £25 for it though.- no proper squad based systems and the way Jack was talking, it almost sounds like you can't join a squad with friends...... :/
- they need to have a cooldown time for the heroes, I don't want to see darth maul trashing a team constantly throughout the match and also remove the health regen from them
- aircraft combat still looks arcadey as anything, seriously having a circle to tell you where to aim..... might as well just add the hold RMB for auto lock.....
- first person view doesn't provide any benefits so 3rd person still the way to go, however, as pointed out, zooming in now has the typical advantages over hip fire i.e. less recoil/more accurate, still looks like hold LMB FTW though i.e. no tap fire/controlled bursts, not surprised though since with BF 1, they designed the gun mechanics/controls around controllers
- explosive spam is back......
I just can't understand DICE, why do they keep making the same mistakes every single time, they always address the main issues then come new game, they just throw all their work out the window and start from scratch again.....
It really does make me laugh these EA/Dice events now, originally it started out as all the youtubers being flown out to get "feedback/thoughts" on the game when really it is just one massive PR/marketing event, guaranteed it will be just like every other ea/dice title, nothing will change for release and then once they see the player base dwindling, they'll then implement the main fixes/changes 6+ months later
Although with there being no DLC/season pass now, I actually worry for future patches/support as they don't exactly have a reason to make fixing the game a main priority now

I just got sent a key from Origin Access for the Battlefront 2 closed beta which was a nice surprise! Pre-loading now - starts tomorrow...
