See that's pulled straight of that now ages old poster
- Vehicles seem to be expanding, there are X-Wings, A-Wings, Speeders, Tie Fighters, Tie Interceptors AT-AT (on rails) AT-ST (freeroam)
- You can control them, but only the guns (lets be honest, how fast does it move anyway?) It's more like the gunship in BF tbh
- No story, but they've said that from the start, the story feels like it's more in these battles, but it could do with a campaign. The issue is, what era do they do? They can't spoiler 7 and 4..5..6.. has been done to death.. If they went deep canon it would alienate a lot of the more casual fans, right now they're just going for iconic movie battles.
- There's only the 2 heroes for now, but I get the impression with how the selection screen for this works, that there will be more. They are just Beta'ing these things. 2 keys points
1) Luke in his EP 6 form (as in this game) never went to hoth.
2) Vader was never involved in the initial assault either
It feels like the've just put in the two most iconic characters, I also never, ever see them duel.
- players is less, but tbh, that feels like a limitation of the engine to me, Frostbite being what it is, is all faked and shiny bits, the map sizes feel 'okay' at the current playercounts and if you even added another 5 more they'd become a cluster*uck very quickly. I think they've done this to stop that Battlefield-esque death-grind. The moving 'battlefront' helps stop spawn rape (helps, not prevents), with more numbers it would be a little too chaotic. right now it feels okay
- there's effectively no classes, but I've heard they are doing customisation, and looking at the fact they've added 'traits' (and there's only one) knowing how Dice do unlocks, I think we'll see a lot more of these once you can level past 5
Judging a game this early on, in beta, for it's content.. in beta.. is a little rough. They're deliberately holding back to prevent a) spoilers and b) Disney will be telling them to market it properly, so they'll only show a little of what they can do...
Wait till we see things like Endor and speeder bikes...
I honestly don't know how any of you can think the sound is bad, there's some glitches caused by certain output settings on my Card (mostly win10 driver related) but the game itself sounds amazing... loads of little nuance sounds and other little bits.. it sounds great!
