I have been spending most of my downtime with the Star Wars: Battlefront beta m, so I will be foregoing a Horror Feature this evening. The beta has been a great experience thus far and I intend to play it for a few more days. There are only two core modes being tested, the Drop Zone on Sullust being a smaller game with 8v8 and Walker Assault on Hoth with 20v20, Hero spawns and vehicles active.
My early impressions are positive. The game is some of the most authentic Star Wars content I have ever experienced. From the character models to the pyrotechnic-like effects, this feels like an interactive movie. Even the way a stormtrooper crumples to the ground is true to the Original Trilogy. The gunplay is very FPS, but the blaster weapons make a refreshing change by bringing an active reload mechanic. The maps are gorgeous renderings of screen accurate locations and some new ones that are equally beautiful.
My first day with the beta had some connectivity issues with the Drop Zone mode, but they were corrected by the second day. I will drop in to update my time in the beta over the weekend.
