10 Seriously Misjudged Video Game Levels That Almost Made You Stop Playing

3. Walker Assault - Star Wars Battlefront

"Walker Assault is brilliant!"

"Walker Assault is broken!"

And so it goes.

Such a debate has been the case for the last two years when it comes to Star Wars Battlefront, as when the asymmetrical multiplayer mode was first shown off in the beta, the Empire would always come out on top, being the AT-ATs' collective health was far too great for such "rebel scum" to take out.

DICE proclaimed they'd balance everything for the full release, and since then we've seen repeated "fixes" and rebalances addressing the flow of any match, culminating in some ludicrously overpowered Rebels if you play today.

Bouts can go either way, but more often than not even if your AT-ATs are at 80/100 health, all it takes is one last minute Y-Wing bombing run (which does more damage towards the end of a round) to bring them down in seconds.

Though, being the last match I played was for the Imperials, I would say that...

Point is: Two years on and we still don't have anything close to a concrete sense of balance.
