    I'm disappointed by the 40-player limit and lack of space battles. Gameplay comes before shiny graphics.

    I'm sure space battles is probably in the 1-year-DLC plan.

    I'll be optimistic until it's released.

    Yep, this is EA we're talking here, although between them and LucasArts they're probably the lesser of the two evils.

    I'm withholding judgement until release, but the fact that it's being made by the same DICE team that makes the main Battlefield titles (i.e. not Hardline) and produced by the same Patrick Bach who ruined that franchise makes me pessimistic.

    Looks almost like BF4 but different skins. not too much of a graphical leap IMO. I think it looks amazing, but i thought it would look better

    Who cares. Means nothing if the gameplay is watered down.

    I bet you already preordered it. Just like BF5 and Battlefront 2 :D.

    I was super stoked waiting for the trailer but now I'm a little less enthusiastic. Perhaps we'll be better able to gauge how the game will be once some actual gameplay footage is revealed/leaked. I'm definitely disappointed by the lack of space battles. If only they had found a way to transition between massive land/space battles simultaneously.

    SW Elite Squadron on PSP has a transition mode between space and ground fights.
