In October, after the alpha testing for "Star Wars: Battlefront", many began to think that developer Dice was trying to rush development of the game to push the release before the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit theaters in December. It was reported that an alpha tester has claimed via Neogaf forums that "Star Wars: Battlefront" was a complete mess.
Whether his claims were real or not, it did not stop 9 millions players from participating the "Star Wars: Battlefront" beta in October. According to EA, it was the single largest beta in the history of EA. Most of the beta participants found the Walker Assault mode exciting. The grand 20 vs 20 fight proved to be an amazing gameplay and many found it pretty impressive.
This is most likely why, according to GameZone, Electronic Arts and DICE has informed the players that there will be last minute adjustments before the launch of "Star Wars: Battlefront." The said adjustments are based on the results of the beta held in October. While keeping the Walker Assault mode as impressive as it was during the beta period some tweaks were made in partner and party system for a smoother multiplayer experience especially among friends. With this change, the players can now join a friend through the Xbox Friends app.
The standard battlefield formally was still apparent in the game, just like any arena. In the battle of Hoth you respawn after getting shot, but the spawning system has been changed. The spawn distance between the two camps are said to have been adjusted on the first uplink. Lastly the last minute changes were for the purpose of bringing the game to balance.
"Star Wars: Battlefront" was indeed released ahead of the premier of the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Does the game feel like it had been rushed?
