Open access BETA is now live.
First impressions from someone who never played the first battlefront is that it's pretty fun. If they have lots of customisation/ things to work towards to give the Multiplayer a life span then I think this will be a pretty successful game.
Aside from the graphics being amazing, the gameplay was pretty fun aswell. Each of the classes feel unique and different to each other, and have pretty interesting abilities.
The Heros seem pretty strong, i've only gotten to try Darth Maul but I went on a pretty high killstreak and lasted till the game ended the first time I used him. I think they can be taken down easily though if multiple people are attacking, but one on one you'll pretty much always win.
Jetpack trooper seems to be the strongest class in the game at the moment, it's just really good for high killstreaks. Only time i've really died as a jetpack trooper is against another jetpack trooper.
As for vehicles i'd still have preferred them to be spawned into the game empty like in the battlefields/ original battlefront. I haven't really used any but the gameplay is apparently better than it was in the first battlefront.
The current various rarity items locked to their supplydrop system don't seem to be too ground breaking/ p2w. Yea the higher rarity items give you an advantage but the amounts generally just 10-15% faster cool downs of certain abilities you can unlock the standard versions of yourself fairly easily
