Star Wars Battlefront 2: 10 Things Fans Need To See

1. 'Operations', In The Style Of Battlefield 1

Battlefield 1's multiplayer is just superb. Hectic? Sure. Chaotic? By all means. But it's still insanely fun, and nowhere is that best represented than in the title's stellar 'Operations' mode.

Operations are basically just glorified Rush/Conquest matches that can last hours at a time, charging an attacking force with, well, attacking, and a defending force with stopping their advance. They're grand in scale, absorbing from start to finish, and typify everything that's good in Battlefield's history.

Considering the scale of Star Wars is just a smidge grander than that of the First World War's, surely there's a chance for bigger, even longer operations to make their way to Battlefront?

It may come as some surprise, but they already have, sort of. The Death Star DLC, botched as it was, had a tiered structure in much the same way that Battlefield 1's operations did. If it was carried out in a similar manner to Battlefield's, on a grander scale and with a more refined depth of gameplay, then it could, by all means, potentially make for the most authentic Star Wars title yet.

You could literally live the movies, and at the end of the day, isn't that all we really want?

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
