Now, there are some of you who might be wondering how this is a bad thing, especially those who might be the biggest fan of Star Wars, and honestly I can see how this might be a minor issue to you. Those of you who are fans will understand, probably instantly, why this is a massive let down. In the old Battlefront II, albeit in a much smaller capacity, players did have the chance to control these mechanical monsters, trudging slowly across the battlefield destroying everything in your path. Naturally, the chance to do this again in the new Battlefront would be an awesome experience. As I mentioned before, however, this will not be the case. One of the developers from DICE did offer commentary, and had this to say:
Not surprisingly, this really didn't go well with a lot of the fans. DICE deciding to take out such a potentially awesome gameplay mechanic is quite worrying, to be honest. You have to wonder if this was a choice they made themselves, or perhaps this is a change mandated from above. Regardless of what it is, how do you feel about this news? Let us know below.
