Star Wars Battlefront: 15 Brand New Features You Need To Know About
5. All The 'Single-Player' Missions
The beta had Survival Tatooine, where you'd dart around the titular planet attempting to claim various drop pods sent in by Admiral Ackbar, the resulting armaments being enough to take down AT-STs and send stormtroopers flying in all directions. These could be played solo or in co-op, so here's the definitive list on everything that could be considered 'single player content'. If you're definitely not going to be venturing online, here's what Battlefront has to offer:
PROBE DROIDSOur scanners have picked up possible Imperial signals around the base.Move out and investigate. Eliminate any potential threats before they can alert the Empire to our presence. We cannot afford to be found out.BEGGARS CANYONThere are reports of Imperial activity in the canyons of Tatooine. Join an X-wing recon patrol to investigate the area. Eliminate any hostile forces that you encounter.ENDOR CHASERebel forces are reported to be moving to an extraction point in your patrols vicinity. Flush out all Rebels and hunt them down. They must not be allowed to escape.OVERPOWERThe Rebels have captured one of our factories on Sullust. We must claim it back as they cannot be allowed to get their hands on our technology. Lord Vader himself will be arriving soon and expects not to be disappointed. Rendezvous with the group leader and move out.INVASIONThe Empire have located our base, we must evacuate immediately!

That's one hell of a list - but whether it'll feel worthwhile being accompanied by bots/AI partners in a game that's geared towards online play, well, that remains to be seen.
