Star Wars Battlefront: 15 Brand New Features You Need To Know About
10. Every Game Mode (Even The Hidden Ones)
Once you got fired into the main screen for the beta, DICE decided to tease fans with all sorts of padlock-themed "You can't access this yet!" icons over many of the modes. We were supposed to wait until November to unlock them and get a true feel for the vastness of everything on offer, but thanks to the PC code, everything has already been surprised/spoiled right here.
WALKER ASSAULTBattle over the massive AT-ATs in this mobile attack & defend game.The Empire has deployed powerful AT-ATs in order to once and for all wipe out the Rebel resistance. To combat this powerful threat, the Rebels have hidden away multiple Uplinks that need to be defended at all cost. These Uplinks will call in Y-wings to bomb the AT-ATs. It is only during the bombing raid that the AT-ATs can be damaged.If one or more AT-ATs reach their destination, the Empire will have won. If all AT-ATs are destroyed, the victory will belong to the Rebels.SUPREMACYFrontline combat between two control points.Rebels and Imperials are fighting over control points on the planet.

The side that takes out more enemies will win! *(TDM)
Any excuse to guarantee you'll be playing as the heroes has to take the top spot for me, so that's Heroes Vs. Villains - a mode that'll most likely turn into a crapshoot of awkward animation and button-mashing as the six heroes wade in with all their overpowered attacks all at once. Fighter Squadron was previously confirmed too, but that too marks one of the only modes that won't be a big ol' blaster-fest, hopefully providing some much-needed variation from what looks like fairly standard multiplayer fare on the rest of the list.
