Same as Demon. Every time i go on-line to try a game, it's the same thing. kids that live inside the game.
Last one was GTA V. I could not walk 50 m without being killed 3 times.

Yes, there are single player campaigns. In the Beta you have the opportunity to try one of these out. In it you are a rebel fighter trying to locate and recover drop ship cargo and must fight off waves of storm troopers and ST-ATs. And looking at the game menu system there will be other single player missions and different types of gameplay available in the final release.

Regarding multiplayer. Often I feel the same way in online FPS, where as you say you get the US kids sitting in the game all day just perfecting head shots and not letting anyone else enjoy the game. From the couple of quite multiplayer matches I tried I did get shot a few times quite quickly, but I also noticed others on your side did tend to group together and help flank enemy or offer cover fire, and it feels more of a team experience that many others. I think there may also be multiplayer campaigns that are one sides in the final too, where you group together to go on missions against AI controlled enemy, so they could be good if it happens.

Also remember that this game is not just set on the ground as a FPS. You also get to join in space combat missions in Tie-Fighters, X-Wings etc fighting space battles, and also some famous planet vehicle combat, such as chasing enemies on speeder bikes in the forests of Endor, or trying to take out AT-ATs in the famous Hoth battle (this is the one I'm waiting for).

So it will have a lot more to offer than just multiplayer FPS.

Also if any of you have player previous Battlefield games you might know that in those you can go from on the group FPS to climbing into vehicles or taking to the sky. I hope you can do this in this game and it isn't just split completely between space mission campaigns and group based FPS, but we will have to wait and see.

Personally I'm really looking forward to this.

Also worth mentioning is how amazing the game looks. The graphics look stunning with really long draw distances and on the ground you can see the battles raging in space with Star Destroyers firing on rebel vehicles and smaller fighter swarming around. Sometimes you stop to watch and get shot because you are not paying attention to enemies on the ground near you. I do have a fairly high end graphics card (GTX 970) which is the card recommended to play this game, but it is meant to play fine on most hardware purchased in the last 3 years.

Most of you know I'm an FPS kinda guy & as much as I Love everything in the Cinematic world to do with Star Wars, this saga of game has always sucked big time for me. I doubt this will ever be right now, especially when written for consoles with a Spack Pad controller.....

I'm pretty sure the PC port over will be as appalling as ever.

It sure does look pretty though!
