I still remember when footage leaked of the now-canceled Battlefront III. It just doesn’t hit the expectations I had after a decade-long wait. The game doesn’t seem broken, nor does it seem terrible. There wasn’t really much impetus to explore most of the space DICE built out.įurther reading: 33 must-see PC games revealed at E3 2015Īnd none of those are huge complaints. That’s partly because it hordes the biggest toys away from players, partly because the matches are capped at a relatively-small 40 players, and partly because our match seemed to get hung up on a single chokepoint, with control going back and forth over the course of the game. This new Battlefront is bigger in almost every way, and yet somehow feels smaller. Part of what made the original Battlefront so great was the scope-jumping into an AT-AT and walking it around, for instance. Others are just not great design from a Battlefield-esque standpoint-like the scripted nature of the Y-Wing bombing runs, rather than ceding control to real pilots.
