So, the Star Wars Battlefront beta's been out for about a good few hours now, and we dread to think how many imperials have been cut down by laser fire from across the map. The free download's obviously attracted a lot of attention already, giving us a glimpse of what to expect from DICE's rather authentic tie-in - but what do you think of it? We have to say that we're seriously impressed with how, er, Star Wars it all is, for a start; the developer's managed to absolutely nail the whole feeling of the movies, and that's important. Anyway, give us some answers in our polls, and then tell us if you've joined the dark side in the comments section below.

I wasn't overly impressed in the first half hour, but when I started unlocking more perks and seeing some more of the power ups I really started to get into it. Pretty good if you give it a good chance!
It's pretty darn fun in third person.
It has the same problems like BF4.
Very unbalanced.
The matchmaking is awful.
EDIT: The graphics and art style are very good.
Will this game have any offline co-op? Like can I and another person on my PS4 play online together?
Audiovisual are really great but the balance is worrying and it just doesn't catch me as much as Battlefront 2.
@Tasuki There is splitscreen mp and you can play online co-op with a friend in that survival mode map. Whether that extends to other modes, I don't know.
So far I'd say it's pretty good, but wasn't keen on the dropzone mode, presentation is fantastic though.
@sebzweidrei my experience the matchmaking has been spot on had no issues joining or linking up with my party... Also expected not to be able to get on any game considering track records with massively popular online games. Destiny, GTA.
Am really enjoying it so far,on a different note not sure how your supposed to win on Walker assault when your the rebels seems a bit impossible to me. Stupid overpowered empire... Lol
Same old... Nothing new...
@adf86 OK cool that will make my son happy. Thanks for the info.
So far after 5 hours I am really enjoying it. I can't put it down, even ignored the Uncharted collection for it. Just find it a really good shooter with lots of options. And I love how it just puts you straight in the game no problems, I can't wait to see what the other game modes/ different maps are like. And the survivals are fun but easy so when the full 15 rounds are on with harder difficultys on it will be great Imo.
@sebzweidrei "matchmaking is awful" whatttt?
I've been playing it since I downloaded it its amazing cant stop playing it
Its pretty awful :/ will give the benefit of the doubt because its a , but so far... Not interested, at all.
But it just feel super vanilla...
goes back to csgo
I love Star Wars but this is just a Battlefield game with a Star Wars theme and no single player campaign, so meh, was bored in no time
A game is like a relationship; a pretty face is great and all, but if there's no substance, it won't last. Graphics are great or whatever, but there's nothing that makes it stand out. They stripped out the campaign and just put a Star Wars skin on a Battlefield game. It's just another run-of-the-mill shooter now. I might pick it up used after the price falls, but I definitely won't be paying full price for this.
The maps are really bland, everything else is pretty good. It is a beta after all, but these games live and breathe by their map design so showing off something interesting would've been a nice little sales pitch.
A real shame that they skipped a story mode, it would've felt good to play through a few missions as Jedi or Sith. Especially with the inclusion of splitscreen co-op.
Was playing Destiny earlier, thought I'd give this a shot this evening. I'll be back to Destiny tomorrow.
