With a new Star Wars movie on the horizon there's no doubt that this holiday season everything Star Wars is going to be big -- and Star Wars Battlefront looks to be coming out at the right time. With the beta recently wrapping up, and drawing over 9 million players, you can be sure that it's going to be a hit. Also, 9 million! That's one hell of a stress test.
Considering the number of players taking part, it's pretty impressive that outside of some minor incidents, there were very little load issues. In fact the beta was a huge success, with a number of people being able to hop in and out of games at will.
We could not be happier that so many of you wanted to come in to get a small taste of what our passionate team has been working on. Ever since we revealed Star Wars Battlefront back in April, we knew the beta would be a huge test for our game. After all, the beta has been one of the most talked about topics around the game over the last six months, and it was exciting (and a little nerve racking if I’m being completely honest) to open it up to the world.
And like Han Solo at the end of A New Hope, we’re glad you showed up. Even more importantly than just showing up, you’ve been spending a lot of time playing, having a great time and leaving us some invaluable feedback, as we continue to tune and balance the game until launch.
And to wrap things up EA and DICE have outlined (only in minor detail) each of the
mission types and
multiplayer modes on offer. So now all the greyed out parts of the menu make a little more sense.

not paying $89 for it though, ea can eat a bag of d**** for that price and no SP campaign.

That being said, it is a gorgeous looking game and the sound design is top notch. I may get it when the price goes down to $30, but I'm not going to be paying $100 for the base game and $60 for the season pass.

It looks fantastic but otherwise I'm not that interested. Looks like a great game to "try-before-I-buy"!

Gameplay that isn't so heavily reliant on aiming down the sight, fast, lots of action etc, runs really well on my computer and everyone else I play with enjoys it as well.
It's a different pace to all the games you see now which is great. Game seems geared towards casual gameplay
I don't think pricing is a big deal imo. People spend much more money on stuff that provides less time value in terms of entertainment. People will happily pay $150+ for a concert that last 2 hours blah blah blah, some many different types of comparisons can be made.
How much were Nintendo games, Sega games back in the 90s?
I'm pretty sure even the Quake 1 mission packs (the 3 or so that were released) cost something like $40 to $45 each and that was mid 97 to 98 I think.
Anyway, I'll definitely be getting it

I had solid Luke vs darth duel. Both had near full health, nobody shooting us. It ended with Luke being the victor!

It works out to be $66 Aussie dollars. Throw a few more % in as paypal's cut too. So that is not too bad. Could also get it on G2A for $62.53.
