Star Wars Battlefront 2 Beta: 4 Ups & 7 Downs

4. "Return To The Combat Area" Is Still A Problem

In an attempt to control spawn camping and dictate the flow of the game, DICE's shooter titles have all been plagued with the infuriating "return to the combat area" warning screen should you venture into an area where you apparently shouldn't.

Though the idea is that this is less immersion-breaking than just running into an invisible wall, it's really not by much, especially as in this beta there's a good chance you probably saw the warning pop up with a frustrating frequency.

It's par for the course now when it comes to these games, yes, but the fact that the player funnelling is still so transparent and jarring is pretty embarrassing all things considered.
