Battlefront review in progress

The game is MASSIVE and just amazing. But despite all it's awesomeness it feels a lot to me like GTA 4 did, just as much of a step back as much as it was a step forward for GTA. I remember playing GTA 4 and just wondering why they took out all the good shit from GTA SA. And here I am again wondering why EA took out all the good shit from battlefront 2. Mind you, the new game modes are superior and much more interesting than the simplistic straight forward command post stuff from BF2 and capture the flag. Like I said, battlefront has NEVER been new or complex or done anything any other shooter hasn't done so don't expect that, but the new game modes are really different and totally new to battlefront which is a good step in the right direction...

Haven't found any traps you can set so far, so I'm kinda dissapointed, loved the lava trap from BF 2. That should be the name of the game, set up traps and wait to start them, not so in this game. Run gun and die a whole lot.

What sucks HARD the ships and flying. You got to be kidding me. Battlefield has it right even though the flying is tough to figure out. But yeah, the vehicles should be landable for fuck's sake.  If a game on PS2 could do it, this game has no excuse. Why did they make the ships something that can't be landed why?

You cannot flip and double jump as a jedi. Oh for fuck's sake. I mean why?

No lightsaber health bar at all. Wow, that's just stupid as hell. I guess they didn't want it to distract you while playing, but it would have been the cherry on top to get that back.

Playing as a jedi is still as clunky and awkward as it was in bf2 but now you can't even super double jump or float around. You run briskly and jump pretty high but can't flip like they do in the movies all day. Makes no sense.

I mean bf2 was on point. You jumped then flipped like a maniac in that game, this game wtf.

I'll get deeper into this shit and like IGN fully finalize my thoughts but be warned, some things, hell A LOT of things BF2 did better than this game so far as I'm playing it. And the ship controls are garbage. True utter garbage. I don't know how any review will find favor with them and I hope they update the game at some point to let us customize it totally to our preferences instead of the preset options which are garbage.

Not sure about the match balancing either. Some dude blasted me away with some super high level gun that I have no way of buying yet, so apparently I'm playing against people with mega weapons already even though I'm a noob just getting started.

oh and Vader's voice, wait till you have to play a match listening that shit... I mean I'll finalize my thoughts on this when I play every thing etc, but as of right now I'm leaning towards recommending you wait for the price to drop if you don't need it right away.
