wow, if you think the game was meant to be mainly played for single player, you are sadly mistaken. That's why Pandemic isn't making new single player maps and patches, instead they're releasing multiplayer maps. Look at any review of this game and it'll say "the single player is ok, but the main reason to buy the game is for multiplayer. It doesn't lag if you have a good server, the reason people get lag is because the host is hosting way too many people for their internet connection. The Devs. said themselves that the game is really meant to be played with a T1 line online, because the game is so massive online. How do the weapons suck? Those are weapons from the Star Wars movies aren't they and it is a game built off of the movies isn't it? I'm not trying to bash what you're saying, I'm just stating the actual facts here.

you could say the same about UT...
i have to ask ragesremorse... are you a star wars fan?
i am, and although battlefront is a relatively simple premise, i find i can't put it down sometimes... why? because i love blowing the shit out of tie fighters with an x-wing, i love using tow cables to pull down at-at's on hoth...
i have a ps2 so i've been waiting for a good star wars game for a long time, sure it could have been improved, but so can alot of games...
put it this way... it could have been much worse...
I'm not hating on it simply because of death and respawn time.. thats bound to be short lived in any war where you're most likely gonna be in the cross hairs of at least 10 people when you walk out into the open..
my complaint is that these so called "lasers" take like 20+ hits to drop someone.. and then they have "sniper lasers" ? I mean wth.. its just a blaster rifle with a zoom scope and less ammo.. the game is done well.. I just want to see a better adjustment to the damage and weapon systems

i completely agree, thats probably my biggest complaint about the game... although it'd be incredibly easy if it was one hit kill like the movie...
this game is brilliant, the only bad thing about it is it lags when your setting up the game. but when your playing. its awesome. this aint the best star wars game but its cool and fun. i love it. i cant play online because i dont have a phone port in my room so i wont know whats better. thankfuly 1 player is just as good. i give it 8/10
the multiplayer aspect left much to be desired. The entire game begs to be solely multiplayer and online, but it seems to have been set up for more of a solo game. The game is the exact same thing through it's entirety it just changes scenery. I love star wars, unfortunately there are few star wars games worth playing. I mainly diddnt like this game because there is no characters. Your players are just recyclable. Here is how i look at battlefront. I Will give you an analogy. It is like making a grand theft auto game with out adding a story.

i havent played multiplayer (besides splitscreen)...
i also wish there were actual characters...
as it stands though i think its a decent enough game...
Um, i havnt played it yet. But i know there's a mod called Galactic Conquest on the Battlefield 1942. I'm downloading it now, so i havnt tried it but its looks pretty decent and considering Battlefront is basically Battlefield 1942 with Jedi's, you should try it out also,unless you dont have Battlefield 1942.
Is it true that to change perspectiv in the console games, that you have to go through the main menu?
I have this game on XBox. I don't play it much.
It's not a bad game except there are two levels that really let the game down - Kashyyyk, Endor and Yavin.
These are woodland areas where every player seems to be the same shade of brown as the floor. Everything is just brown. Trying to shoot Ewoks is not as much fun I had in mind, they're just brown blobs moving around on brown "carpet". The graphics are blurry and at times it looks like an N64 game.
Also, the sniping is, well, crap. Sometimes you will shoot someone in the head once and they die, other times you'll shoot them three times and they'll still be alive. The detection on the head/body/limbs is rather poor.
Top it off with the fact that every map is not cut out for vehicular battle, save for Endor and Hoth. Picking up a Jedi Starfighter is absolutely pointless. Not only that, but the levels are tiny and best suited to on foot combat or land vehicles like Tanks and speeders. It's like a shark trying to swim in a puddle. Proper flying vehicles are worthless.
It's still an entertaining game, but it gets repetitive.
