so i found some leaked footage of the close pre-alpha of the game, leaked on youtube:
and here's my opinion: i'm not impressed.
the map feels kinda smaller than the Star wars:BF II hoth map.
to make matters worse, the gameplay looks like something you'd see in battlefield or COD, but in third person. in short, as some have indicated: it is battlefiled with star wars skin.

Because Battlefield and Battlefront had a good amount of similarities.
3rd person mode, harpoons and heroes. Yep that's a battlefront game alright.
no they're not the same. Battlefront II has many classes, multiple vehicules that are fully functional (not on freaking auto-rail),a more interactive environment, and space battles.
Battlefield may share some of the similarities, yes, but not everything.
in the end: this new Battlefront by EA/DICE is more like a battlefield with star wars skin, and stream-lined as hell.
