Star Wars Battlefront: 15 Brand New Features You Need To Know About
7. Weapons Are The Same For Rebels & Imperials (So Far)
If there's one thing that Star Wars doesn't have the monopoly on, it's firearms. Lightsabers might be cooler than the other side of Sub-Zero's pillow, but can you really tell your Star Wars guns apart from one another - in particular the rifles? It seems DICE aren't too bothered about splitting weapons into Rebel or Imperial lists either, as the text files simply detail a pretty minuscule 12 guns you can take into the battlefield, that can then be bolstered by whatever specific Star Cards you equip.
