Coming out of retirement

I put down Star Wars Battlefront after 129 hours, 25 minutes and 53 seconds of game time, ending with 5,321 kills and 7,505 deaths.

Now, after over a year of retirement, I’m coming back for Part 2.

I was kinda fooling myself into thinking I could just be satisfied with watching from the sidelines, clearly, the Dark Side is too strong to resist.  I’m be joining the Public Beta on 6-9 October and no doubt there will be over 5 million players doing the same thing.

EA Public Beta is a bit of a nonsense as the company probably has an army of professional gamers, developers and streamers willing to test at any time.  I guess the argument is to load testing the server network but I suspect the real motivation is to hook players into buying the game, pure “try before you buy” marketing.
