I'd agree with you Nik - the flight is a bit finicky to get used to, some people have clearly been practising. The Hoth map is good fun - fairly frenetic silliness, with lots of vehicle pickups, emplacement weapons, powerups etc, and the ability to share your partner's cards means you can play with some of the unlocks for a bit. The unlock progression has seemed fine for me.
I read some commentary on the Hoth map, and some chap said that the rebels lost every single time - a few games I've been in, where players actually properly defended the uplinks, and then all poured the fire on the AT-ATs when the y-wings deliver their ion blasts, we've won. But that relies on people not being campy snipers (which the current weapon mix dissuades, which is good).
The feel and sound of grenades going off nearby is brilliant, the weapons are proper star wars pewpew - absolutely loving it.
I might be tempted by this. Would there be a single player tacked on as well?
