You'll have to strategize to keep your troops alive long enough to hold each pod on your path to victory. Think of this like a Star Wars version of capture the flag. It's up to you and your team of eight players to fight against another team of eight to control the pods as they land.
During this battle, escape pods are constantly crashing down to the ground. On the flip side, you can join the Empire and use a variety of weaponry to crush the insolent Rebel troops.ĭrop Zone on Sullust is the second gameplay mode available in the beta. As the Rebels, you'll have to fend off the Imperial AT-ATs using Y-wing bombers. Up to 40 players can participate in this battle between the Empire and the Rebel alliance. This is basically the E3 2015 demo that ended with an epic tease of a Darth Vader showdown. The first mode of play is Walker Assault on Hoth. There are three modes of play available in the beta that should give eager gamers a taste of what's to come in November. Electronic Arts has been kind enough to offer a beta for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (via Origin) starting on October 8 and running until October 12. While we can't offer much in the way of help as you wait for The Force Awakens to hit theaters, we can give you a helping hand when it comes to Battlefront.
