Star Wars Battlefront is the biggest game we've seen from this franchise in a long time.
Welcome to the Skilled channel.
And today we're talking about the multiplayer of Battlefront.
The game puts you in classic characters and locations from the original trilogy.
You can fly, fight, and shoot in up to 40 players.
It's been 10 years since the last Battlefront game, but there is a ton of anticipation for
this new one.
So let's take a look at 8 cool features in Star Wars Battlefront.
08 Blast Mode Blast mode is a classic team deathmatch style
mode.
It's a fast paced 10 on 10 battle where Imperial and Rebels fight to the finish.
Players face off until one team attains 100 kills or has the most kills at the 10 minute
mark.
Blast is aimed at close quarters combat so maps won't be as large as in other modes.
07 Drop Zone Mode Drop Zone is similar to a King Of The Hill
or Control style gameplay.
In 8 on 8 gameplay, Rebel and Empire teams fight to control drop pods falling on to the
planet's surface.
Players have to run over to the drop pod's landing site and trigger it to begin capturing.
Your team wins if you capture five pods or control the majority of them after the 10
minute match is over.
If a pod is heavily contested, a new pod drops down to increase variety.
The players would then have to fight over multiple pods.
Of course strategy and teamplay is crucial.
You need multiple players on a pod site to defend the location, but if you group up too
much you are susceptible to an explosive attack such as an Orbital Strike.
Drop Zone is available on Tatooine, Hoth, Sullust, and Endor.
The drop zone spots on these maps have been chosen very specifically for intelligent map
design to have important choke points and keep the action flowing well.
06 Walker Assault Mode Walker Assault Mode is the huge scale 40 player
battle where Rebels attempt to destroy the Empire's brigade of Walkers by calling in
Y-wing bombers.
If you side with the empire, you'll be protecting the walkers while using all the weapons at
your disposal.
Blaster fire is generally ineffective against their armor so you have to weaken their defenses
first.
Players will have to reach an uplink station on the map in order to call in Y-Wings.
The Uplink Stations must then be defended for a while in order to proceed.
Y-Wings will then fly in and bombard the Walkers to weaken its defenses.
Walker Assault combines both tactics and action with tons of players.
05 Survival Missions / Couch Co-op And Online Co-op
Survival Mission mode lets players control the rebel alliance as they hold off waves
of Imperial forces including AT-STs, Tie Fighters, elite stormtroopers, and more.
Each survival mission is different on every planet.
This mode also features co-op play online and splitscreen for Xbox One and PS4.
04 Supremacy Mode In Supremacy mode, Rebels and Imperials fight
for control of five key points in another big 40-player battle that takes place on some
of the largest maps in Star Wars Battlefront.
Players will take advantage of both ground and air vehicles in order to win the round.
03 Fighter Squadron Fighter Squadron is for the pilots.
In this mode players will fight in aerial dogfights using classic vehicles such as X-wings,
TIE fighters, the Millennium Falcon, and more.
Players can choose to fly in the cockpit view or third person view.
Battles are fast and intense with lots of explosions and lasers shooting every where.
02 12 Launch Maps You'll be playing as either the Rebel Alliance
Soldiers or Imperials in classic Star Wars locations.
Battlefront launches with 12 maps featuring locations from Endor, Hoth, Sullust, and Tatooine
as settings for these epic battles.
Some of these maps will be very large for Walker Assault mode.
While others will be smaller scale for close quarter combat.
There will also be the free Battle of Jakku pack that releases in December which will
expand the game even further.
01 Heroes & Villains / Luke, Vader, Boba Fett The best part of Battlefront is playing as
the big heroes and villains.
So far Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Boba Fett have all been confirmed.
Luke Skywalker is based off the Return of the Jedi era, where he's already experienced
and ready for battle with a custom lightsaber.
Luke can use Force Push to knock over enemies from afar.
Saber Rush lets him close the gap with enemies so he can slash at them with the lightsaber.
There's also a heavy attack with the lightsaber that will take out multiple enemies.
Luke Skywalker is a pickup that you find somewhere in the map.
Once you grab the pickup you'll become Luke and have a limited time to deal damage as
the hero.
Your health will decrease over time, but there are ways to extend that time if you have skills.
Jamie Keen, a senior producer at DICE, stated:
�Our goal was to give an average player around two minutes as a Hero or Villain.
But if you�re good enough, you might stretch that to around five minutes.
In theory, you could play as Luke Skywalker for a whole match, but that is extremely unlikely.
That said, the gauntlet is thrown!�
Outro Star Wars Battlefront is one of the biggest
multiplayer experiences this holiday season.
It finally lets you play in the classic locations from the original Star Wars universe as your
favorite characters.
And the addition of the Hero and Villain roles really tops it off.
