Apparently, it drains about 30-40FPS which is none too shabby (but AE would hate it).

I've preordered this like a muppet, because I'm having a hard time at work and some nostalgia may help me through. The season pass/content stuff is a debacle though - and I feel guilty for supporting the choices they made. Some beezy time would be good. |

I think Jim Sterling's writeup covers the DLC stuff pretty well http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/11/ ... nt-review/ Quote: It makes for a frustrating review – trying to balance the amount of enjoyment I’ve had versus the overbearing money-grubbing that’s going on from a company that’s only pulling this shit because it can, not because it needs to – effectively exploiting the power of the Star Wars name and abusing the loyalty of its fandom in a way that’s not even vaguely subtle.
Electronic Arts has been shameless in its behavior, but again, I can’t stress enough how much of a delight the game itself has been – at least during its launch period. That I’m not just slapping a five or lower on the score should be taken as a sign of just how high the quality is. That I cannot give it higher than a seven, conversely, speaks volumes of how overwhelming a shadow has been cast by its DLC. The best way to describe Star Wars Battlefront, I feel, is to call it what it is – a good game that was deliberately designed to not be a great one. I wanted to rate it higher than this. Way higher. |

I don't find $50 season pack for the maps excessive to be honest. That's not dissimilar to when we played MW2 and BLOPS in terms of longevity, and the amount we played that game, c £7 a month isn't that high a price over time. And both of those games only got a fleeting attention from me. Would far rather have this scenario than be forced to buy the Hearthly edition on release for £100 and then decide it was shit before the first DLC release. |

Problem identified - when IE is using a non maximised window it shrinks the calendar to 5/4 columns, but not the days of the week which stay as column titles. But if you significantly reduce the window width then it populates the day into the individual dates. So, In. |

It does - a fairly non descript single ear set like you would have got with a mobile phone 10 years ago as a hands free kit - however the port on the bottom of the Dualshock will take any normal headset (like the one you'll get with any phone now) |

This game is awesome. I had a fairly late night last night (well, for me) with it. Got to rank 4 unlocked some stuff. The Endor supremacy map is impossible as the Empire - camo really works, and white shiny helmets arent camo. |

I played this last night and loved it. I can kind of see what they mean about the longevity but still, it's Star Wars. Will I ever get tired of shooting Storm Troopers? I'm not sure. Also.. Because I spend most of time playing old games I'm always astounded at the graphics on new games. This looks lovely! |

I know the point of the whole thing is walker assault and all the reviews say it's acebest and every other game mode is secondary. But I really can't get into it. Supremacy (same but different and half the game length) and Droid Run are my preferred game modes. |

Walker assault is ace, but there isn't the map variety on that. I'm digging blast, the drop pod one and supremacy. I'm looking forward to the jakku dlc being enabled as to be honest the number of maps is, whilst containing some ace ones, a bit small. |
