My problem with Star Wars games has always been the half-assed finished product. I'm forever thinking "Man, that was good! But it could have been WAY better by doing this that or the other thing."
It has never been hard to see what SW games lack, but the direction Battlefront was always heading for me was to a place that would top games like CoD and Battlefield, which both do certain things really well.
CoD is a rather smooth multiplayer game, it's drawbacks being that it lacks any sort of physical realism beyond stamping brand names onto the weapons.
On the other side, Battlefield has always been a great MP as well, though their single player campaigns lag at times, and they can't seem to avoid crapping on MP with minor corrections that were unnecessary (anyone who's played BF3 and the recent BF4 knows that the helicopter controls did NOT need fixing. The BF3 controls were perfect.)
What I would like to see is Battlefront taken in that direction, but only in incorporating the best of those games, and expanding in other ways that supersede them both. The potential has always been there, but with Lucasfilm being sold and what not, I'm not sure it will be any time soon before that happens.
SW games have always been behind the curve, and that robs them of really taking advantage of the potential.
