Star Wars Battlefront DLC: 10 Specific Things Fans Demand
5. ...And Old Game Modes As Well
This is actually something we've seen in the reboot, with Heroes vs. Villains serving as a competent successor to the insane 'Assault' mode from Pandemic's original two titles. We are still yet to see a resurrection of 'Conquest' or 'Hunt' however, and these are both game-types that would feel right at home in Battlefront's latest iteration.
Conquest above all else deserves a retread for the current gen, as even though Walker Assault and Supremacy exemplify the game's gigantic nature quite immaculately, there's nothing quite like a classic game of conquest for both sides to dabble in. Map design may hinder the implementation of said mode, so it would only be appropriate to create future maps with this game-type in mind.
Hunt mode is a little more malleable to DICE's current crop of close-quarters arenas, but actually making animations for the humanoids and aliens of the Star Wars mythos may prevent such a playlist from making its way to the reboot.
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.
