A Star Wars: Battlefront trailer hit the Web a few days ago, and it had fans going crazy. The game has been long wanted by fans, but it took Disney purchasing the rights to Star Wars before another title would become reality.
We don't know a lot about the game, but it is clear that team-based gameplay will play a huge role here. We also know that Battlefront will not include a campaign, something that might tick off many fans. It would appear as if EA and DICE may follow the path of Titanfall with this one.
The game will rely heavily on a set of short missions that can be played with others or alone. This is unlike Titanfall because in that game, every mission is a multiplayer experience, which is not a bad thing at all.
What's interesting about these missions is that they are short, and the co-op play only requires one other player. What we're saying is this game only supports two-player co-op, which is very strange. However, full-size mutlitplayer team deathmatch battles are very likely.
"I would say they occupy that space ... where you play alone," General Manager of DICE Patrick Bach said. "Or you can play co-op, split screen or on the Internet. The game is first and foremost a multiplayer game. Battlefront was a multiplayer game. That's the game we wanted to create — to recreate the battles of the Original Trilogy."
Apart from not having a campaign, EA's Star Wars: Battlefront will omit the well-loved space battles that featured in the previous game. Fans are up in arms about the decision and are wondering if DICE is planning to add space battles as part of future DLCs. If such is the case, we have to guess that it will not go down well with fans.
At the end of the day, it should never be a surprise to Battlefront fans that this tile will not have a traditional campaign. The last game did not have one, so the uproar is a bit surprising to us. Chances are the complaints are coming from those who have never played Battlefront before.
