Star Wars: Battlefront - 10 Shocking Moments From The E3 Demo
8. Bots Are Back
Ah yes, another staple of the Battlefront of old. Bots are coming back for EA's reboot and it's a great thing to hear, especially since it holds major nostalgia factor for those who were raised on Battlefront back in 2004. The reason this feature is so significant is due to the fact that when Battlefront first dropped, the majority of players didn't have access to a high speed internet connection, nor could they care little for online play as it existed to begin with. Most got their fun from Battlefront playing split screen with a friend taking on dozens and dozens of bots rather than duking it out with players over X-Box Live. The decision to include bots is one made with old fans of the series in mind, and shows that offline play still has a place in a medium largely dominated by multiplayer combat.
