Campers beware
Star Wars Battlefront‘s equivalent to King of the Hill will be a game mode called Drop Zone.
The mode — which can be played on planets such as Endor, Hoth, Sullust and Tatooine — will feature eight vs. eight PvP combat, where Rebel and Empire teams must compete to capture and keep the drop pod zones.
Your team will win if you capture all five zones, or have the most possession at the end of the 10-minute match.
“This goes hand in hand with our design philosophy behind many of the game modes inStar Wars Battlefront,” said lead level designer Dennis Brännvall. “We’re promoting the idea of a fast, action-packed game where you need to be mobile and think on your feet. Camping doesn’t really pay off.”
“Playing Drop Zone on the Swamp Crash Site on Endor is a personal favorite. The map has a couple of nice choke points but is overall very free-flowing and hectic, as enemies can attack from anywhere on that level,” says Brännvall. “The fight takes place around a crashed GR-75 transport ship with containers from the craft strewn across the landscape, and there’s one section with a waterfall overlooked by an Ewok village, where you have to jump down into the pool below in order to claim the pod, hoping no one’s hiding in the trees above waiting to pick you off.”
