Star Wars Battlefront beta accessed by over nine million players
The Star Wars Battlefront has become the largest beta in EA history as over nine million players took part in it.
The Star Wars Battlefront beta has come and gone, and today, EA and DICE have announced over nine million players took part in it. This makes the Battlefront beta the largest beta in the history of EA.
“Ever since we revealed Star Wars Battlefront back in April, we knew the beta would be a huge test for our game,” writes senior producer Sigurlina Ingvarsdottir. “After all, the beta has been one of the most talked about topics around the game over the last six months, and it was exciting (and a little nerve racking if I’m being completely honest) to open it up to the world.”
Ingvarsdottir says his team has received invaluable feedback from beta players, and will continue to tune and balance Star Wars Battlefront until its November 17th launch. “On behalf of the team at DICE, and everyone at EA, thank you for playing,” he writes. “We hope you enjoyed what you played in the beta, which is just a small part of the overall experience.”
He’s right as EA and DICE detailed additional game modes, as well as Star Wars Battlefront’s season pass, yesterday.

Au contraire, that's how we downed the second AT-AT at the beginning of the second wave of Y-Wings.
-
I was actually having issues with it. I waited for Y-Wings to appear, had a high, undisturbed vantage point, aimed with most of the indicator on the AT-AT/leading a little, and nothing happened several times.

For being a free beta that was not hidden behind Gold/Psn requirements that's good give them lots of data.

I was getting some bad lag. Really sucked when I was in an A-Wing.

Any particular reason why?

I get a Titanfall vibe. It's shiny and fun but I don't see it as something I'd play much.

Downloaded, and haven't even launched it yet. Doesn't help that I forgot why I downloaded it.

Welp it is too late. The beta is over now.

Now if they just add a server browser so I can see what my ping is, who else is playing, how much room they have, etc.

It was ok, they nail the star wars theme pretty well, but underneath it felt like generic shooter central, I dunno. I'd pick it up in a year+ at a deep discount.

So a butter face FPS?

Yeah, this is the general feeling I get too. Not that there isn't depth...but, that, overall, things are too simple. It seems like there will be depth with the different cards (I'm guessing there will be way more) and loadouts will provide the needed variety.
However, the weapons are too similar and you're really picking between if you want a red apple or a dark red apple with guns. That being said, I did find the most success with the DLT-19 (correct name?). And, found that I could confidently get rid of the cycler and just use that gun with thermal detonator and jumppack to round out a top notch killing machine.
Definitely a casual, fun romp. AND, above all, they bring the Star Wars experience to life in a VERY appealing way.

How much fun was it to play without any voice chat?

It would have been cool if imperial had team talk and rebels had only squad talk or something. Make that asymmetric as well.

They've got a ton of work to do between now and the launch date. I am expecting a mega huge day 1 patch.

The experience was EXACTLY how I imagined it based on the videos I've seen. People sniping each other from afar with serial fire weapons. Vehicle spawns on the map is a horrible idea. There's even less structure and less reason to play as a team compared to BF4. Add to that the matchmaking, and I'm not buying at full price, that's for sure.
