The reboot of Star Wars Battlefront was long-overdue. The 2015 title looked gorgeous, though as with most things there remained some room for improvement in the gameplay department. EA DICE has been hard at work not only supporting the existing game with updated content, but also in developing a sequel, the simply-titled Star Wars Battlefront II. We were able to go hands-on with a PC build of the multiplayer mode of the game while attending EA?s PLAY event prior to E3 2017, and have our impressions below.
Master Your Class
If there was one thing that was sorely lacking in the previous game, it was class-based characters. DICE heard player feedback loud and clear, and have brought in several different classes to play as. During our session we were shown the Assault, Heavy, Officer, and Specialist classes. The Assault class is a standard-issue soldier. You have a blaster rifle, two types of explosives, and a charged-up special which enhances your damage. The Heavy class is what you?d expect ? a heavy-firepower, heavily-armored suppressive firing soldier who can provide cover fire for others attempting to grab an objective. The Specialist class is more long-ranged, good at picking off distant targets. Finally, the Officer may not have much in the way of armor, but they can boost morale of surrounding troops, providing boons and battle points to those around them.
