10 Things Only Star Wars Battlefront 2 Fans Will Understand

3. Heroes Vs Villains: Ragdolled

The popular Heroes Vs Villains mode sees the champions of the Light Side facing off against the paragons of the Dark, with everyone from Obi-Wan Kenobi and Han Solo to Darth Vader and Captain Phasma lined up and ready to go.

THIS is the one. THIS is Star Wars.

Waiting for the match to begin, you check and double check your abilities and star card selection, making certain that you are in the best possible position to take on the enemy in epic lightsaber combat.

You step onto the rain-soaked platforms of the Kamino cloning facility and charge headlong toward your foes...

...and are immediately Force pushed off the map.

Flailing through the air, unable to course-correct, your round is cut short as you are instead consigned to a premature watery grave.

Not unlike death-by-Ewok, being unceremoniously ragdolled off the map to your death is undoubtedly a face-palm waiting to happen.

While he is by no means alone, arguably the worst offender in this regard is everyone's favourite farmboy-come-hide and seek champion Luke Skywalker, whose Force Push special ability can be devastating in the right hands.

We play Heroes Vs Villains to feel like a Jedi, but are often made to feel like an absolute idiot instead.
