7. The Erratic Spawn System
By the very nature of Battlefront's objective-based multiplayer, being able to backup your team at a moment's notice is key to victory and holding strong in the face of the enemy's onslaught. For the most part, being able to provide such valuable assistance to your team when they require a focused push over enemy lines is possible, but if (when) you're hit by a stray laser and fall in battle, things start to go awry. Perhaps it's the punishment DICE saw fit to burden you with for dying in the first place, or just a glaring oversight, but when you rejoin the battle, you'll more often than not be so far from the epicentre of the conflict that by the time you reach it, the whole thing will be over. It's not just infantry that suffers from this, either. If you're on the side of the Empire and pick up an AT-ST token towards the end of a match, you'll reach the location of the Rebel's last stand just as the victor has been decided. Waste of time.
