The game's problem is the lack of content together with the lack of a rewarding progression, both of which are limiting replayability. There are only 4 (four) maps that support Walker Assault - which is the only mode that anyone wants to play because of the higher player count and vehicle availability, save for the curiosity of trying the other modes once or twice.

4 huge, immaculately designed and realized maps. Plus a 5th for free in December. And 12 other maps we've decided to disregard for "reasons"? I had more fun in the beta playing the dropship mode than walker assault. I could cite 4 different reviewer all of whom said a different mode was their favorite.

Battlefield 4's initial vanilla release in comparison brought 10 maps supporting the equivalent "flagship" mode (64 players + air/water/ground vehicles). Moreover, the weapon variety was immensely larger than Battlefront's and each weapon was customizable through ranks and points. On top of that, the game has character classes (just like previous Battlefront titles) which have to be progressed independently. Plus, there was a single-player campaign.
Battlefront has none of it.

All of Battlefield's maps took place on Earth. By the standards being applied to Battlefront that's only 1 map! And yeah, it had single player, a mode people thought wasn't very good and many reviewers actually said they shouldn't have bothered. And I'm certainly not impressed that Battlefield and CoD games make you unlock the same five fucking sights 20+ times. That you can get every gameplay option in Battlefront in a reasonable amount of time is actually a significant advantage in my eyes. Let's stop pretending time-sinks are a substitute for content.
 
While the general assets, lighting, shaders and particles look good in this game, especially at 4k but it lacks those over the top set pieces other campaign based game has. Therefore it takes away some kind of wow factor from me and for that reason I would not rate it as the best looking game, in fact it's not even in the top three. But one could argue it's the best looking at 60fps on consoles.
 
I am a weak spirit, i shall buy the season pass in december

I don't mind the simplistic gameplay. The beta felt great, I liked it.

However, people report that after 10h you have unlocked everything essential and there is nothing that motivates to play more.

It is not about the graphics, not about gameplay. It is the lack of content in relation to the full price and the season pass strategy, again for full price.

Ugh. I can't stand that mentality. You play games to master them, to master all the gameplay loops available; not to unlock shit. Unlocking shit is an addition to gameplay loops but I doubt after 10hrs many if not any of these players are MLG ready.

Ok, good for you pal.

I like progress and unlocks...I don't play games to 'master' them...but to have fun and a good time :)

Lol I didn't mean it like that. It's just best games of old. Heck even old board games, we don't unlock things. We just play it because the core game is fun.

Im shocked they people can find a game no longer worth playing as soon as there is nothing left to unlock.
