    I already have this preordered, and my clan from Unreal 2 ( Rival Schools ) will be dominating this the same way we did with Unreal 2 on the Xbox. See you there!

    damn imps, don't think you can nose around Hoth without some consequences... ;)

    I might get it eventually for the PC...might...eventually. Still need to get DOOM III, since that one turned out pretty alright in the end.

    I will be getting this for sure. Haven't decided for what system yet ... maybe PC just for the online stuff.

    OK who's playing the game?

    I'm considering it. I like the idea of 16 simultaneous online in the Star Wars universe on my Xbox... or PS2, which leads me to another question: is either version "better"?

    Joe, here's a global set of reviews for the Xbox version (average grade: 82%) and for the PS2 version (average grade: 81%).

    I had it pre-ordered but canceled after downloading a "demo"

    Battle areas are to small. Esp. if you are in a flying vehicle.

    There are no server Admin options to kick/ban lamers.

    Thanks! I've read a bunch of reviews but I like to ask the crew here, especially for online-based games (so I know who I might meet up with if I make the purchase)

    I was thinking about this but it just doesnt draw men in enough - I really want to get into online console gaming, but none of the games have grabbed me yet - RE Outbreak had a chance, but then I tried it and the play mechanics were very BLAH, didnt like the new control scheme and no real online chat (like microphones and stuff) was a real let down -- still looking for a good onliner - let me know if this game is all that they say it is once you guys really sink your teef into it.

    I'll be getting the PC version, as it seems that'll be the best for online play.

    btw, frys has this $38.99 all versions.

    I picked it up yesterday, and so far I really like it. The single player mode is ok, but gives you a true sense of battle. I did a system link on it...only to find that you can't do split screen multiplayer and link play at the same time!(Which means that 1 Xbox, 1 person, ratio) uhh. I would recommend this game for the Xbox live crew, which I plan to start very soon. Oh yes, and it comes with two free months of Xbox Live. I went to Target to get mine, it was 49.99 with a free $10.00 gift card. I plan to use it for my headset.

    I've been playing the hell outta the Xbox version. All in all I love this game, but I certainly have some complaints. One of which is definitely NOT the size of the maps. I've heard people complain that the maps are too small, but I would guess that these are PC-online veterans, as these are probably the biggest maps in any CONSOLE-online shooter yet. Having only been online with the Xbox, I'm awestruck by the size of these battles, it's unlike anything else available online for consoles. It's balls-to-the-wall action, controllable vehicles (all of them!), epic battles, and it's freaking Star Wars people. There's alot here to love.

    But ... the lack of a lobby makes it difficult to set up balanced games where you can be on the same side as your friends. And it's impossible for the host to boot players himself or to even change maps/conditions during play. Basically Rainbow Six 3 has spoiled me and I'm use to the total control that game allows the host to exert over the game conditions. Additionally, Battlefront is a damn bandwidth hog. You've got 75% of the idiots hosting making rooms too large for their uplink. I've got a pretty fast Comcast broadband connection, but the upload is moderate and I can only host 7 people reliably. Please folks; check your upload speed and only host the recommended number of players. This game will die a quick death with the lag issues we're seeing right now.

    Despite these flaws, it's my new favorite Live game, particularly as I learn to adapt to the lack of a lobby and find sensible hosts with fast connections. Hopefully after a week or so the online community will realize Battlefront's limitations and how to work around them.

    I'm hearing lag is the biggest killer but I think petewhitley hit it on the head: people are overtaxing their connection. Seeing as how this game can allow one to jump into a Star Wars epic battle I might give this one a look.

    Dangit, SBC, where's my free Xbox Live kit?

    Def get the xbox version! Less lag ( I heard ps2 version was basicaly unplayable 1st day), 12v12 humans instead of 8v8 on ps2, Better graphics, easier to join games w/ friends in them.

    I think the game is good, besides the fact that vehicles are TOTALY unbalanced (but fun as hell to kill people in, pilot+vehicle=ownage!)

    Fun game...when you get it Joe let us know, whats your Xbox gamertag?

    To all DP members who play this game on Xbox Live, add me to your friends list, gamertag is "Kaiju Devil".

    I play this a ton and it's a great game that's tons of fun once you figure out how things work (cripping AT-AT's on Hoth, etc.). It's basically a "king of the hill" type game set in the Star Wars universe. This is my #1 game on Xbox Live right now.

    My clan from Unreal 2 merged with our biggest rival (after they kicked out smack-talking assholes, of course) to form 7 Rival Schools (odd name, good clan). You can talk at us over at www.7clan.com/community , our new home.

    Well, what about the PC version? If there's no lags and perhaps the ability the change options better then the console versions, I'll just get that.

    I'm probably gonna get the PC version next week. It supports up to 32 people online and possibly more in the future. Sounds like easily the best of the 3 versions if you have a decent computer.
