Star Wars Battlefront 2: 10 Things Fans Need To See

Much like The Force Unleashed before it, Battlefront suffers from a familiar problem with its lightsabers - they just don't feel authentic.

When you wield one of these weapons, you should be chopping things up left right and centre, not swatting people back and forth with a giant glorified glowstick.

I understand that EA are after that much-coveted T rating going ahead, but come on, there's no point in having these things if you're not going to show the damage it can deal to an opponent.

The series places such an emphasis on making players feel like they're living the films that it seems completely bonkers to have lightsabers - the most famous of all Star Wars iconography - amount to little more than flashy sticks.
