Star Wars Battlefront 3: 10 Ways To Make The Perfect Sequel

1. Re-Tool The Class System, Battle Points, And Polish Vehicles

Battlefront 2's battle points system is a marked improvement on the token-based... thing that was present in Battlefront 2015, but it isn't without its flaws.

Ensuring players get an opportunity to play as heroes or other special units on a regular enough basis is basically an impossible task, but for the most part, battle points get the job done. It's rare you'll go more than a couple of games without getting the chance at being a hero, but that doesn't mean there isn't an issue of players camping the spawn screen rather than playing the objective.

In truth, I don't know quite what the solution for this is. The best players should be rewarded, but no one should be able to hog a given character for an entire game.

Elsewhere, Battlefront 3 needs to integrate its classes more fully. With Battlefield, there's a sort of inter-reliance between all the classes (bar maybe Recon), whereas with Battlefront (bar maybe the Officer), players are encouraged to go do their own thing.

The game needs more teamwork, and while there aren't easy answers, it's something to maybe bear in mind for the next title.

Oh, and fix the clipping issue with vehicles next time. Lagging around the map on a hover tank is horrifically janky.

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.
