It's a dream come true for anyone who grew up with the films. Soaring across the Dune Sea in an X-Wing while a battle rages below is utterly magnificent, and stomping around in an AT-ST is empowering like nothing else. There are lots of things to drive, fly and shoot from, and most of them are a joy to pilot. It keeps the third-person blasting frenetic, and battles can literally last for hours if both teams know the ropes and give as good as they get. Thing is, though, checkpoints can be won back, so a frantic scrabble to keep on top of your pilfered strongholds quickly becomes the norm. Clearing an area of enemies changes their beacon's logo to yours, and before you know it you've won the round. So why all the fighting, then? Well, simply put, you have to claim the battlefield by systematically capturing enemy checkpoints.
You're forced to work in teams, meaning you can't take an enemy position without help from your comrades in arms - even if they are humourless shitheels - and as a result, a strange sort of camaraderie is formed between you and your faceless cohorts, making the whole thing feel surprisingly wholesome. Then you retreat to the cosily predictable world of artificial intelligence, snug in the knowledge that someone called 'FaceStabber' isn't going to plunge a knife into you and call you names.īattlefront, however, is a very different beast. And, as the omnipresent rumble of indecipherable mumbling coarses through your headset, you ask yourself "Why am I here? Why am I playing videogames with a bunch of feckless, furrow-browed simpletons?". The servers are almost always loaded with despicable American mentalists who should be sealed inside a barrel and kicked into the ocean. * Pilot over 30 vehicles including AT-ATs, X-Wings and Snowspeeders.For the most part, online gaming is utterly detestable. * Battle on unique planets from the entire Star Wars saga. * Choose your weapons wisely - each soldier has different weapons and capabilities. * Pick your side - Rebels, Imperials, clone troopers or battle droids.
