Star Wars Battlefront: 15 Brand New Features You Need To Know About

Star Wars fans have never had it easy over the years - going from lovers of an industry-shaking revolution in on-screen effects and genre-based wizardy, through a trio of unbelievably disappointing movies that forever tarnished the very mention of the name. Thankfully, now that George Lucas has stepped down and JJ Abrams has stepped in - alongside EA's gorgeous-looking reboot of the legendary Battlefront series - 2015 is set to put the franchise right back at the top of the pile. As such, we all got to take part in what was essentially a widely-released demo (labelled a beta) at the start of October, but following that, fans have pilfered the game's files on PC and discovered a laundry list of new features, weapons, playable heroes and everything in between. It seems EA were trying to play their cards close to their chest in the run-up to release, but as Metal Gear Solid V found out; once you've put your game out there on PC, nothing is safe from those who know where to look. So, with Battlefront essentially being multiplayer-only, there aren't any story spoilers to worry about, and we can get stuck into everything you need to know about what you'll be picking up on November 17th.
