#BATTLEFRONT WALKER ASSAULT MAPS MOVIE#
Rebels can get a chance to jump into their vehicle arsenal, like a trusty X-Wing or the helpful Snowspeeder that houses the much-needed tow cable that can bring the AT-ATs crashing to the ground.Īside from doing things the old movie way, Rebels can complete objectives related to nearby Uplink stations that can summon Y-Wing bombing runs. It's even possible to eventually get into the AT-AT itself and mow down hapless Rebels. For Imperials, they can jump into a TIE Fighter cockpit or a heavy-hitting AT-ST. This can help spawn in some helpful gadgets, like thermal detonators, but can also work towards summoning vehicles.
When players aren't firing, they're looking for power-up icons placed throughout the map.
But don't look for people to overly abuse this idea, since Battlefront doesn't offer aim down sights. Blaster bolts will reach crazy distances and while there are dedicated long-range weapons, the standard blaster will sometimes grant some lucky hits from long sniper rifle-like range. So trigger-happy soldiers must learn to be a little more conservative with their shooting pace. Blasters don't have a finite amount of shots, but rather can overheat if overused. That's because Star Wars Battlefront does not operate on standard military ammo. And there will be plenty of blaster fire. However, it's also filled with trenches, valuable for getting out from under fire. It's a wide open snowy tundra, where the natural terrain can sometimes work to offer cover or a stealthy route towards enemies. The first thing to notice about Hoth is that the map is massive. For the Imperials, the object is to escort these walkers safely, while the Rebels must eliminate the giant mechanical beasts before time runs out. There are a pair of giant AT-AT walkers heading towards the Rebel base on Hoth. For Walker Assault, the main objective varies for both sides. While shooters have generally aimed for eliminating the opposing team as a primary objective, Battlefront is looking to throw a far greater Star Wars twist into the proceedings. It was time to try out the large 20v20 Walker Assault multiplayer mode. But if that's the game's undercard, then this year's GameStop Expo provided an opportunity to jump into the main event. Shacknews has previously offered hands-on looks at the game's co-op Survival mode, from more than one perspective, in fact.
