Star Wars: Battlefront is, sadly, a game being defined as much by what it does not have as much as it is by what it does have, but for a change, I have some good news, without qualifiers, to report on. That being said, the other platforms of the game will be able to enjoy the more advantageous views of the game.
But, we do have a few opportunities for you to go hands on with the game just around the corner. Playble heroes and villains will likely be the same and EA confirmed that vehicles will tied into power ups found in each map and Y-Wings will act as support units to call upon. The famous characters will be stronger than everyone else, so they need to make the game fairer for other players.
Blast will also use different maps to the more epic modes, set in the same locations but with unique layouts and environmental states geared towards 10v10 deathmatch.
He added that there weren’t any big issues that sprung from this while in the process of making “Star Wars Battlefront“.

But EA and the game’s developer, DICE, also want to provide a claustrophobic, close-quarters experience as well. The races on offer include “Twi’leks, Sullustans, Zabraks, Quarrens and more” for the Rebels. Co-op and split-screen will be available for two players only.
