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

5. Make Fighter Squadron More Enjoyable

Oh, Fighter Squadron, where do I begin?

It's a huge shame, really. Dogfighting with laser-clad starfighters should be the absolute pinnacle of nostalgic wish-fulfilment. I mean, this is your shot! You can be Porkins as you hurtle towards the surface of the death st-

Okay, bad example.

But you get my point, duking it out with TIE-Fighters in an X-Wing should be an absolutely fantastic experience - not one that bores you because of the repetitive nature of the game modes they feature. The first two Battlefronts managed to work with it just fine, so why can't this one?

In the interest of fairness, I will concede that the final phase of Battle Station is fun, but only when you get the chance to be Red Five and navigate the Death Star trenches and blow the thing to kingdom come. Until that moment, it's still encumbered by the blanket monotony of Fighter Squadron, and we all know how popular that mode is simply by looking at how quickly lobbies drop when it comes up.

Dogfights can be fun, but give players more variety when it comes to taking to the skies.

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.
