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

6. Hero Gameplay Looks Incredible

Despite being a fan-favourite element of the first Battlefront sequel, the hero system itself was never really too impressive. Sure, it was fun playing as your favourite Star Wars characters, but at the end of the day players were left with a rather rudimentary system that didn't dish out the hero gameplay to everyone equally. Thankfully, DICE seem to be improving upon these feature - introducing a more innovative and challenging combat system in the process. The developers have really managed to capture the feeling of being both behind and in front of a Lightsaber on the battlefield, with Darth Vader's audible breaths proving to be far more terrifying than any other piece in the Imperial arsenal is. So whilst it may be bad news for the soldiers that have to deal with these titans of the battlefront, those who get to wield the force and a Lightsaber as well are in store for a massive treat. Jedi Knights and Sith Lords now have to time their blocks to perfectly counter blaster shots, and Lightsaber duelling appears to be far more intricate than it once was in Pandemic's old titles. Baring witness to one of these duels is bound to be an exciting experience, so seeing Luke and Darth lock horns this way really adds to the epic scale that Battlefront seems to be striving for this year.
