Star Wars Battlefront: Truly Excited, But Is It Too Casual?
I'm a huge life-long Star Wars fan. I'm also happy that DICE is the studio working on this next Battlefront title. Yet, after putting in so many hours into the Open Beta, I'm legitimately concerned about the state of this game. The last time DICE released a game they gave us a title on life-support (Battlefield 4). This time around, it seems their latest product won't be a fundamentally broken/unplayable one at launch. Instead, it looks like we're getting a mechanically stable game with less than half the planets and half the guns than its predecessor Battlefront 2.
I'm fine with Battlefront being a casual game intended to immerse player in the Star Wars universe. However, is it soo casual it might be half of what Star Wars fans had hoped for? Namely, half of a product?

I still can't understand how anyone is drawing these kinds of conclusions from the "beta". If we can be honest, we really don't know what we're getting yet. The beta helped shed some light on 2 PVP maps, which are probably incomplete previews of those maps. Also, why so many preconceptions about what the new battlefront should be or not be? What happened to just taking a game for what it is and seeing if it turns out to be fun? I guess it's the nature of forums like this, where "everyone" is an arm chair game designer AND in a "perfect world" DICE would release millions of versions of the game, just to shut every one up.
