BattleFront Imbalanced?

Considering how much some of you can probably tell I play this game, I've begun comparing each side depending on whatever level I'm on, and making my predictions on who will win based solely on terrain and vehicles (if any) are available.

I've found levels like Rhen Var: Citadel are severely unbalanced in the Empire's side. Have any of you played that map, only to find every single command post is taken before you can get to one? The starting locations, mixed with the fact that Dark Troopers have jetpacks seriously makes it impossible to have a fighting chance in that level.

Granted Clone Wars is much better as Droidekas can roll much faster, and start out in the same place as the Empire, so no jetpack whoring, but I think either the starting locations need to be changed with a patch. Last night, as Empire, my team won in under 6 mins because we captured every goddamn command post, and just started bombarding their starting one from above while guys charged it from the side.

Thats because of actual people playing the game have figured that out. its just a common strategy that people have figured out.
AI when you play by yourself would just jetpack to get to a place to fight and die.
if ur empire, and a lot of people are dark troopers, have a lot of people on your team as soldiers and travel in a pack or like 2 or 3 because with the dark troopers, is it not harder to aim when jetting? and their tri shot is slow, but nonetheless strong, but if a team of fast firing Soldiers can eliminate the rest of the units taking over the other posts?
then that basically leaves JUST the player controlled units trying to take over everything. soldiers pawn in Rhen var: citadel

thats what i do anyway. i know what ur talking about with the cheapass dark troopers. i always choose soldiers because the citadel has some small areas so being able to fire quick is a good thing 'cause as you kill one unit, you can quickly swith to another. i never really worry about darktroopers. they dont scare. droidekas are a WHOLE different story..

i dont really see the game as inbalanced, except maybe for a few missions, like the Rhen var: Harbor- it favors the Empire greatly because of the ATAT and the 2 other speeder things that come with it.
it also favors the CIS in that fight in the cave- a group of Droidekas an easily punch through the cave nd make it to the Republic side- ive seen the AI do this many time just by following them to see what the AI does.

Yavin:Temple is unfair v CIS i think. Crotch, try tis:
choose Yavin:Temple, be republic, be a regular soldier and try to survive inside the temple on the ground for more than 1 minute..
if a droideka occupys the very center area then ur screwed. even if u snipe its not always a 100% counter in that level.
