Yes, there are issues. It would be nice to be able to play this game offline; it would be nice to have the extra planets added before they released the game; and yes, I worry that essential features will be added to the game in the future and they will not be free, but as it stands, Battlefront is one of the most immersive videogame war experiences of this console generation. In fact, it is one of the most immersive war-games of all time, which is ironic considering it is based on a mythical science-fiction universe, but pains have been taken to create a dirty kind of realism. Watch your character flinch as a laser grazes their shoulder; they stagger on, only to stumble as the shockwave from a thermal imploder rocks the screen. TIE fighters scream overhead, dropping payloads of laser fire, sending your comrades up in flames. It is in many respects a brutal game, reminding us that the Star Wars universe is at its best when it is dark.
