Star Wars Battlefront DLC: 10 Specific Things Fans Demand
3. More Rebel & Imperial Starfighters
Let's face it, the current roster of starfighters to choose from is fairly disappointing. Worse still, Rebel aircraft easily outclass their imperial counterparts with the A-Wing in particular certainly showing signs of an overpowered nature. Rebalancing issues aside, Battlefront has only shown a mere fraction of the wider arsenals of the Rebels and Imperials.
B-Wings, TIE-Bombers, and Defenders are all lacking from the main game, and in order to add variety to the aerial combat any and all of them would be welcome additions to the rather menial selection players currently have to choose from. As an afterthought, other useful ground vehicles would be much appreciated as well. Speeder Bikes in their current form are fairly useless as there are no large winding paths for them to be used effectively, and the Rebels lack any form of ground transport altogether.
This is all contributes to the sense that even though Star Wars has so many iconic craft, you can't help but feel as though DICE aren't taking full advantage of the potential line up available. Still, we can always be hopeful that DLC presents a way of seeing these iconic vehicles appear as the new year approaches.
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.
