To make the battles in the upcoming online shooter Star Wars Battlefront 2 even more exciting and intense, the developers have come up with something.
In Star Wars Battlefront, it was the case that only the really good players or those who were very lucky could play as a hero in the battles. That is set to change with part 2. The chance to play as a hero will be significantly increased. However, this brings a problem, according to the developers.
Because when more heroes are running around in the levels, it becomes all the more depressing to play as a simple foot soldier who has barely any chance against Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker with their special abilities.
Groups fighting against heroes
To counteract this, group play is at the forefront. Together in a group, the chances of being able to defeat a hero are significantly higher. To promote this teamwork, a class system has been introduced. This essentially forces players to form a group consisting of different classes in order to exploit their advantages.
According to DICE’s Creative Director Bernd Diemer, groups actually have a chance to defend themselves against heroes, especially when the classes are played well and also leveled up. This then contributes to the fact that heroes are no longer solely responsible for turning the tide in a battle.
Every soldier should be something special
Additionally, there will be more personalization options for each player to give their characters more depth. This will happen through equipment and abilities. A trooper can specialize in throwing grenades, for example, which distinguishes him from others who fight with blasters. In this way, you create your own character to a certain extent.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 will be released on November 17 for PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.
