I agree that mage is too lethal to have THAT much defensive powers too, lightning should need charged and not insta cast, the healing should be a slower aoe regeneration that requires staying still, thus more team work involved. The warrior is great but they really dont start out with enough flame sword to do alot of damage and are usually hit from all directions by archers while they melee, and seem to counter nothing, mages can easily zap/shockwave/firewall, scouts can jus stealth and bomb, or even melee them with quick attacks enough that the warrior cant move, archer mobility is too much, and the arrows are TOO easy to shoot, give them some draw time and real physics so a 200m headshot isnt so easy, and slower power regen on them too. played the demo all day today and really loved it, i really REALLY wanted to like the warrior and avoid the archer but i found myself getting frustrated with the warrior and going on archer for a long range rampage, it seems the maps allow for such long distance camping you can easily get several kills before even being noticed, a single headshot with a flame arrow is lethal and even at close range if you miss they’re knocked over.

I am waiting for my review copy to show up today so I can play the full version and give a fair review, but my hopes are not that high. I have been getting flamed by fanboys who refuse to look past the obvious shortcomings in the demo. I hope this game kicks ass, I really do. I am just very reserved. @ SevrenHawk3878

You have restored my faith in gaming. I am waiting for my review copy to show up today so I can play the full version and give a fair review, but my hopes are not that high. I have been getting flamed by fanboys who refuse to look past the obvious shortcomings in the demo.

I hope this game kicks ass, I really do. I am just very reserved.

I loved the Battlefront series...therefore I couldn't wait for this game. The demo on Xbox was awful, unbalanced, and it even felt a little cramped. Even in the Campaign...yes you could see a massive battlefield... but you couldn't actually go out and explore it. You pretty much just ran around tight quarters. I put a reserve on this, but i really think I'm going to retract it. This game looks terrible!! Yeah, to be honest I have to agree with everyone here.

Plus 75 bots on each side will make it epic. And multiplayer doesn't get old fast, I have played he demo from the day it came out to now, its really well made, as classes are balanced, and still have unique strengths. Scouts, if used right can easily melee anything without backstab, I can. And heros comes when your team gets 500 points and top player gets the hero. BTW the ps3 version is worse than the xbox, if you have one try it.
