6. Jetpacks Are Back

One of the most divisive aspects of 2015's Battlefront was everybody's access to jetpacks, the complications they introduced for cheesing the geometry of the map, making yourself very hard to hit, or just being slightly unwieldy to control in the heat of combat.

It's a very quick shot, but we do see another soldier wearing a jetpack yet again, meaning they're either a new standard for every foot soldier, or once again, a ranked unlockable.

Interestingly, various top-tier shooters have expanded into aerial combat and hover-aiming in the last few years especially, from Halo 5 to Titanfall 2, and the last three Call of Duty games. If Battlefront is looking to allow players this same freedom of movement (which is pure speculation at this point), it's going to split the community right down the middle all over again.
