Im probably going to get this game. IMO this game is much more casual friendly compared to the BF series. I find that the fights here are more fast and furious, as the 20 v 20 map is not that big, so within secs of respawning u will be right back at the action already, compared to the large maps of BF whereby sometimes u can run for mins and not see anyone at all.
The power ups are a nice addition, so even casual players will be able to score some kills over the hardcore players when they get to play as the Jedi/Sith, or ride in the AT-AT/STs.
Graphics and sound in the game is great, all the lasers pew pew everywhere just like in the movies.
There's also the space dogfight mode and the speeder bike racing modes (both not available in Beta), which lets u take a break from the FPS game and try something different.
