Feel the ominous thud of an AT-AT stomping down on the frozen tundra of Hoth. Zip through the lush forests of Endor on an Imperial speeder bike while dodging incoming blaster fire. Engage in intense dogfights as squadrons of X-wings and TIE fighters fill the skies. Immerse yourself in the epic Star Wars™ battles you’ve always dreamed of and create new heroic moments of your own in Star Wars™ Battlefront™.

clearly you never played jedi knight online.
Yeah you're probably right. I heard it was fantastic. I played Outcast only, for some reason

I don't see ANYONE playing.....worst game release of the year?
You're not checking the Steam friends list are you?
Nope, my list at Origin, just 1 joined after I posted that. Be interesting to see some numbers.

Reviews are being pretty brutal about the lack of content and I found the beta entertaining but only in small doses. Pass.
Yeah I'm not paying $60 for that. I mean it looks great, but so few maps...
there's 10 maps (8 now, 2 more in 2 weeks) which is exactly what DICE have been putting out for more than a decade.
the only difference is that not all maps have all modes.
there's pros and cons for this, basically it halves the number of maps per mode, which yes, sucks. But at the same time, the close-quarters maps are actually built for that game mode, and that game mode alone.
I'm sure we've all been in a battlefield TDM server which is just a bunch of shipping containers in a yard in an otherwise gigantic map because they had to tack on every game mode to every map. I can handle maps made for modes. I really can.
These are by far the most gorgeous, and best designed maps I've ever seen from DICE.
One day, when you remove the EA goggles, you will unlearn what you have learned...
Gorgeous? Sure. Best designed maps ever? Probably need more evaluation time for that, no? I played the beta and didn't find either of those maps exactly mind blowing. That map for the pod secure mode or whatever, was definitely nothing to get that excited about.

I've been streaming it since I unlocked it early Monday night using VPN. Haven't experienced any of those things.
Dunno what to tell you.

It's really a shame DICE locks down their engine from modding. Imagine all of the amazing Battlefield 2 mods that could have been made for Battlefield 4.
+1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
The community would have made it a better game.

Perhaps you missed yesterday's news.

I went into the beta with low expectations and found it surprisingly fun. Beautiful graphics and high production values all around. Worth $60? Not sure about that. But a friend wanted to play together, so I pre-ordered it from Green Man Gaming for $45.
OOPS. Despite their insistence that they're an authorized EA reseller, GMG somehow "ran out" of keys. They sent an email yesterday morning saying some folks won't get their keys until after the release. I'm one of those folks.
WTF? If you're an authorized EA reseller don't you get your keys from them? How the !@#$ do you run out? Why can't you just get more, ahead of time, not days after the launch? Is this EA trying to punish gamers for being cheap and ordering through a third party to save $15?
Anyway, lesson learned. Don't pre-order anything from GMG.
Maybe I can watch my friend's stream tonight as he's playing it without me. If the servers even hold up.
