Star Wars: Battlefront - 10 Shocking Moments From The E3 Demo

2. Tie Fighters VS X-Wings

Aerial combat has always been an iconic part of the Star Wars mythos, and like its predecessors before it, this new Battlefront is really upping the ante with classic dogfighting mechanics. Squadrons of X-Wings and Tie-Fighters compete for total air superiority over the battlefields below, and it looks more exciting than ever. Whizzing over the icy land of Hoth just looks too inviting to pass up on, especially when those lucky enough to pilot a Snowspeeder can take down AT-ATs with their trusty harpoons as well. In Battlefront's previous entries air vehicles didn't really have a massive impact on the ground proceedings, but the effects of air to ground combat appear to be all too grave for those unfortunate enough to be in the path of a Tie Fighter making its pass on a rebel target. This adds a whole new dynamic to an already well built mechanic of the Battlefront franchise, and will make the race to get an aircraft even more intense than before.
