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™.

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.
