Star Wars: Battlefront






Rating: 9/10 (Likely to change with more announcements from EA)

The game many have waited ten years to come out, the EA and DICE reboot of Star Wars: Battlefront. The original Battlefront was released in 2004 and the sequel in 2005, but no Battlefront 3 was ever released (Aside from two PSP and Nintendo DS Battlefronts that were not ever made to be BF3) After the second trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released, EA released the trailer for BF3, showing new weaponry and equipment such as portable shield generators and Y-Wing Airstrikes. EA announced that the game will be released with 12 multiplayer maps and new game modes such as Walker Assault. Unlike it's predecessor, BF3 won't include a Single-player campaign, but will have missions for people to play offline. It will also not include space maps but will probably have maps with ground and air battles, according to the trailer. It will be released sometime around the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which will release on Christmas 2015. Pre-orders will include Battle of Jakku, which is based on The Force Awakens, and the premium edition will give you exclusive guns and equipment such as Han Solo's blaster pistol or Boba Fett's rifle. Also unlike it's predecessor, it will not include predefined classes with their own weaponry but have more customization options and loadouts (This was what was done in the two Battlefronts released on PSP and DS.) Overall, many Star Wars fans are excited to see what EA and DICE will do with Battlefront, especially after their success with Battlefield: Hardline.
