Stood in line for the panel for this for more hours than I want to remember and then our little group got shut out about two feet from the door, so we didn't get in and didn't get the sweet shirt. This event really should have been put in the big arena and I guarantee they would have filled it. Oh well.

Event logistical issues aside, this game has my money already. It's made me consider rethinking my "no more preorders" policy, in fact. It looks gorgeous. And anyone who has played the last two Battlefield games should understand when I say that I'm glad they're not doing a single player campaign, as DICE trends to waste a lot of development time and money on those, and they're always lackluster. The lack of set classes is really interesting to me, and make me wonder if this is how they will be handling customization when we really don't see to much difference in the look of Star Wars soldiers and especially weapons.

As a person who played both of the original Pandemic Battlefronts and realized they were basically cheap Battlefield knock-offs and always wished that DICE had made them, this is like a dream come true for me. Hopefully they put a bit more effort into making it work before they launch them, unlike Battlefield 3 and 4.
