I bagged 50 kills, and died three times, twice because I flew my A-Wing into AT-ATs, which I’d be lying if I said didn’t happen a lot. I tried Hoth’s Walker Assault map on the lowest difficulty, Normal, and it was probably too easy for me. This lets you have all of those moments with an optional challenge on top.
Thing is, though, if you want to get a quick shot of Star Wars spectacle or sightseeing in Battlefront, there isn’t currently a good option in which to do that-everyone’s fighting to get the Falcon in Fighter Squadron. I sampled both at Star Wars Celebration in London this past weekend, though they only had a PS4 build on the stand.įor the more skilled online players still enjoying Battlefront, this possibly prompts cries of ‘noobs’ and the like. Skirmish mode lets you play both with bots of varying difficulty. In case you’ve not played Battlefront before, Fighter Squadron is the game’s spaceship-only dogfighting mode, while Walker Assault is the busiest and most cinematic Battlefront has to offer, putting players in battles that don’t skimp on the AT-ATs. Cut forward eight months, then, and DICE is finally adding a stronger offline option to Fighter Squadron and Walker Assault this week, two of the biggest modes in the game, and where most of the spectacle of Battlefront is concentrated.
