Star Wars Battlefront beta update: DICE reveal the BIG PS4 and Xbox One changes for launch

Star Wars Battlefront beta feedback is going to bring changes to the final Xbox One and PS4 title

THE extended Star Wars Battlefront Beta has meant that DICE have had longer to gather the feedback needed to make big changes to the game on Xbox One, PS4 and PC for its November release.

 

It was revealed earlier this week that the Battlefront 3 beta was being extended so that developers could conduct further technical tests on the infrastructure, finishing on October 13.

However, these additional tests started today and will run through until Tuesday, October 13th, but could also cause some connection issues for fans.

They are supposed to cover extreme scenarios, meaning that some players will find themselves  kicked from the game or losing connectivity.

DICE promise this it's being done to make sure the infrastructure is in place before launch in November and most fans would be glad to hear that there may be less issues then if the work is done now.

Having spent most my time fighting rebel scum on Host, I can say that the game is both rewarding and addictive.

It seems oddly refreshing how simple Battlefront can be played, I don't need to spend ages looking over my loadout and I think some of the game's vehicles and turrets, although slightly unbalanced now, will prove to extend the title's shelf life.

Issues have been found with the game and DICE have responded to fans feedback, revealing some of the changes that look likely to be instigated before its release date.

Lead Multiplayer Designer Dennis Brannvall confirmed to one fan that partner spawn while in combat is set to be shut off, after fears were raised that it would be unfair in it current form.

The end-game stats menu have also been thrust into the spotlight, with fans perplexed over why players who score the highest kills on Drop Zone and Walker Assault are graded higher when they are both objective-driven modes

DICE Level artist Daniel Cambrand has responded to the feedback, telling fans he is set to raise the objection today, which could see the leaderboards ranking system tweaked.

It follows the new released by EA today that the game will have at least four DLC packs and revealed more on the new Season Pass set to be launched.

 

An EA statement reads: "We’re also excited to announce the Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass, which extends the game with four expansion packs coming at a later date, filled with new content that will take you to new locations across a galaxy far, far away.

"Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass owners will also secure two-week early access to each expansion pack and an exclusive “Shoot First” emote.

"In addition to the Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass, today we are also ready to reveal the Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition which includes all the content available in the Star Wars Battlefront Deluxe Edition as well as the Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass."
