Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Things We Can't Wait To See
4. Heavy Armour
AT-ATs and AT-STs (endearingly named 'Chicken Walkers by rebel militia) won't be the only heavy armour to make an appearance in DICE's latest FPS/TPS hybrid. The rebels, whilst majorly underfunded in comparison, had their own stockpile of combat craft to take to war - though DICE have yet to reveal any of their factions arsenal so far. Hover tanks and small scout craft are a must to change up the pace of online confrontations - especially in the larger and more sparsely populated areas of maps. Considering DICE's resume however, vehicle navigation should really be the least of players' worries. Heavy weaponry is always the most exciting stuff to get ahold of when squaring off against other players online so the bigger the vehicles the better. Not only will it be great to wreak havoc on the virtual environments of the various Star Wars destinations included, there really isn't anything quite like trying to outrun an AT-AT at full crawl.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
