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 ******* 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.
