“Immediate, additive and exciting until the very last kill; that is our ambition with Blast”, explained EA Games in a blog post.

These battles are made up of 10 players per team, creating some dynamic, entertaining opportunities for competitive gameplay.
There are several weapon pickups strewn across each map in Blast – I wonder if there will be a hidden lightsabre! Blast will host 10-minute matches, by then whichever team is ahead, will win.
Star Wars is a ridiculously popular franchise. There won’t be space battles, though. For example, Hoth and Endor are playable areas in the game.

Does that mean there could be some non-Hero and Villain maps in Battlefront? We will also see a brand new Hero type so “Star Wars” aficionados should keep their eyes peeled. Some Blast battles will take place inside bases others will drop both teams in iconic locations like Tatooine. EA is projecting sales of between 9-10 million units from its initial release date to April 2016. It was developed by Viscereal, who are known best for their development of Dead Space series. DICE created smaller, close quarters maps for Blast Mode. When the same maps are used, there are lighting differences. We have a new Battlefield experience coming in Q3 FY 2017 and another new Star Wars project being led by the dynamic creative team of Jade Raymond and Amy Hennig. Battlefield: Hardline was also labeled as the best-selling title in the UK in 2015 as of March 23, 2015, whereas in the US, NPD Group announced the game to be as the best-selling game in March.
