I've never played the game, but I have played Battlefront 1 and 2 extensively so I will do my best to give my impressions:
1. I think you should be happy with character customization at all. The original games didn't have it; you played the same stock figure for every class. At least Battlefront allows you to mix it up a little.
2. I think it is great that you have so much freedom to say what weapon you are carrying into battle and all that. It does take away a little from the original game, where you had to know how to play your class because you were stuck with a particular weapon the whole match unless you completely changed classes.
3. As far as singleplayer goes, I agree with Sereniama. The only single player I've heard of is like some sort of campaign and a survival mode. I may be wrong on this, but anyway the whole thing of the original game was you fighting as a single soldier, in a single battle, in a map full of AI opponents. That's how it worked, and there are very few shooters out there that do it that way. There are none that I can think of off the top of my head that actually put you as a single grunt in a major infantry battle. Call of Duty comes close, but in the older ones you are usually in a small group because that's how combat worked in WWII, and in new ones you are an elite soldier often fighting alone or with a partner. Now Call of Duty does have some infantry battles, but you just don't get the same sense of it like in Battlefront 1 and 2. In Call of Duty every singleplayer battle is scripted. You don't get the sense of actually being there because you have no freedom to attack what you wish or just run around shooting people and not even worrying about objectives. Battlefront 1 and 2 were essentially multiplayer deathmatches without the multiplayer, and that's how they should have stayed for people who don't want to play multiplayer and have to deal with all the trolls or feel like they suck because they keep going up against ace players.
