I like the game, but its in SORE need of a patch. The server browser built into the game is completely unacceptable and joining games doesn't always work (reports servers as full when they are not sometimes or times out). I spent more time trying to get into a multi player game than actually playing it. If your thinking of buying the game and plan to play on-line I'd recommend waiting for a patch (the first 2 patches didn't do anything but make the server browser worse). If you plan to play the AI only then its probably OK.
A couple of complaints I have...
-the maps are too small for the air units, you can fly for a maybe 10 or 20 seconds before you hit the maps boundaries.
-small arms damage is very low. It takes up wards of 5 or 6 shots to take down an enemy unless you get a solid headshot...and even then its at least 2 to kill. (sniping and distance shots are terrible due to the low damage, slow laser bolt speed, and high speed of the player.
-the laser bolts move too slowly...and the players move too quickly
-the frame rate is capped at 20 (max of 30 if your on a server that has its tic rate set higher). 20 frames per second is just too slow for me. That might be OK on a console, but not for PC. It makes gunning in a snow speeder, or rolling as the battle droid almost impossible due to the frame stutter. (the FPS is NOT locked for the single player portion)
-The dedicated server released for the game has zero options as well. I mean NOTHING. You cant even kick a player out.
-The Jedi AI is rather weak. You can stand directly behind an enemy Jedi sometimes and he wont do anything but stand there with his thumb up his bum.
-The respawn tickets are too few and no option for the server to change it. MANY on-line battles are far too short...sometimes lasting only 5 minutes or so.
-Each time the map changes, the server disconnects and reconnects EVERYONE. This means that you can potentially lose your spot on the server between map loads.
The game needs a good deal of work. The basic game play is decent, but if your not a big Star Wars fan and you plan to use the game on-line, then I would wait. The game play has a solid base to it and I guess playing the AI is OK, but I don't care for AI battles. As it stands, its too difficult to get into a decent on-line game and the entire system smacks of console port. I truly do think the game could be fun as hell, but it really needs a LARGE patch to fix some of these basic issues. Theres really no excuse for a game (especially one that is geared toward internet play) to be released in this state.
