Battlefront is basically a starwars version battlefield with small maps and crappy gameplay.

I didn't think much of the first one as it just seemed to have nothing to it, it was a simple spawn run shoot, areas were empty giving no real cover or they were based around on type of transport aand if you were in anything else you would die.

Running around as a little man felt crapy and as if the team that did it had never made a FPS style game, and yet Reblic command came along and was fantastic feel wise, if they combined the 2 then they would probably have made a bloody good game.

I have only played the first one and it ut me off the open beta a while back for the second one, i suggest you either wait a while for a demo of the second one or just chance it, they may have made improvements over the first one.

I might give it a whirl as i am running out of games to play now and should give it a try before giving a complete bashing of the new game.

I hope they have increased the size of the levels, and done something with the feel of the spaceships.

Pirates can have jedi's so it stands to reason that uber laser guns can too.

Well graphics dont really bother me too much, with my pretty bad system, mainly looking for just good gameplay so will more than likely be purchasing it fairly soon.

Give us a run down once you get it.

It arrived this morning, (2 days late) and so far only had 30 mins time to have a go on it.
It seems okay, nothing special, the graphics are decent but dont at all compare to modern games such as HL2 or BF2.
The gameplay is a bit fast paces for my liking although it is the sort of game which is quite fun to just pick up and play.
Single player is quite good, you have the choice to do different things like Galactic Conquest, Instant action or just play through the game. So far have only played the first level where you have to try to complete the objectives without all your tickets getting to 0.

Having troubly with multiplayer though, first server i tried i had extreme lag, and couldnt even move. Second server wasnt too bad but the games would only last for about 5 mins which meant that you couldnt really get into it.
I'm hoping that when i play it a bit more i should start getting into it and liking it but so far it is definately not worth £25.

I seem to be getting a short delay on sounds :( when i fire the lasers already gone and then the sound comes out, it's very off putting.

EDIT: fixed now it's because my settings wern't set to 5.1 silly me

EDIT:EDIT: The space battles arn't too bad but i would have liked a more freelancer feel to the control of the ship with turning as although it's full 3d it's slugish at times and i end up flying the whole battle upside down.

Ground battles still are really console-ie and the objectives a bit to easy to complete if you just ignore some enemies.

It's not terrible but it's by no means a great buy, some fun and i imagine with a large group of friends could be pretty damn good.

I own the internet, and i borrow games off it.

If the games then really good i go out and buy it, like quake 4 or BF2.

<_<

>_>

Easy to get past most multiplayer things too (all-seeing-eye), just a limited number of servers you can use, but it means you end up playing the same people and get a bit of a community going.
