Star Wars Battlefront Released [Nov 17, 2015, 10:07 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The official website
for Star Wars Battlefront reminds us that today is the release date for
the Force-powered action game, saying it is now available for Windows, Xbox One,
and PlayStation 4. A
week-long Twitch stream is underway to celebrate the news, and the Windows
edition can be picked up now on
Origin Games. Here's the game's official description:
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™.

Almost every review I've seen ends with major concern about longevity beyond a few weeks, as this game is far too simple, featureless and casual.
It's more of an interactive Star Wars art exhibit, you can only geek out to the imagery on display for so long.
People today play for things like rank and unlocks which is very limited in this game so once they burn through the rank system and unlock all the weapons the "urge" to continue to play will be lost for most.
The people waiting on the sidelines for a super sale will probably have a hard time playing modes that won't maintain enough players and you're more likely to encounter players who sit 24/7 flying the space ships and will smear you across the map every time you spawn.
The way these multiplayer games work is you play with the roaming heard and they have a sharp drop off in players a month or two out.
Titanfall, Evolve, Battlefield Hardline are just a few I've personally experienced this with recently.
