Star Wars: Battlefront Rogue One - 10 Ways To Nail The Scarif DLC

8. Make The Heroes Play Completely Differently To What We're Used To

Upon unveiling the title and setting of Battlefront's final DLC, DICE also announced which characters would be commanding the imperial and rebel forces respectively: Jyn Erso (reprised by Felicity Jones) and Director Krennic (likewise, Ben Mendelsohn).

Most of the heroes apart from the Force-using characters all have the same kind of playstyle. Boba and Bossk feel fresh enough, sure, but usual run and gun characters like Han, Greedo and Lando all feel and play fairly similarly.

We need characters now who aren't just your usual sprint around the battlefield and go 'pew pew!' types. Chewie went in the right direction in offering buffs to nearby teammates, but what we really need are characters that can properly assist your everyday rank and file grunts. Maybe even one whose best strategy is to flank, rather than in engaging firefights head on.

Regardless, it'd be a huge waste if these heroes only offered a cosmetic change to what we've gotten used to over the past year. If anything's clear, more of the same just wouldn't cut it for Battlefront's final add-on.

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.
