News Star Wars: Battlefront Prepping New Mode for Take Off
High flyer
The last time that EA attempted to hype up a Star Wars: Battlefront announcement, it turned out to be Team Deathmatch, so we're not getting our hopes up for this new reveal just yet.

Storm blooper
Star Wars: Battlefront is going to ride the coattails of force fever all the way to the bank this Christmas, but DICE is being a little too presumptuous if it expects people to get excited over Blast mode.

If only you knew the power of the next-gen
EA and DICE's interpretation of Star Wars: Battlefront is coming to next-gen consoles this November, totally skipping the likes of the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Not good for those playing (Han) Solo
We thought that it sounded too good to be true: Star Wars: Battlefront will not have a traditional single player campaign. The hotly anticipated sci-fi shooter will forgo a classic solo outing, instead opting for a series of short missions which can be played alone or with friends in online and local co-op. "I...
