Though probably a no-brainer to some, the next Battlefront will feature a much more varied arsenal than its predecessors did. Both Battlefront I and II had weapons that were already well established in the Star Wars mythos, with iconic blasters mingling with vehicles alike. Dice seem to be focussing on innovating and expanding this arsenal however, which whilst bound to offend some die-hard fans will more than add variety to the FPS's multiplayer. Rest assured that classics like the E-11 blaster will make an appearance, but don't be surprised to see some weapons that haven't featured in the films and established canon pop up - remember, the old Expanded Universe is now gone, and with its departure its rules need no longer apply. Obviously we won't be seeing something that looks garishly un-Star Wars like, but be prepared to see a good amount of old mixed in with the new! Do any of these rumours have you reaching for the pre-order button? Or are you still not sold on Dice's Battlefront? Sound off below and be sure to like the Facebook page!
