New multiplayer modes for ‘Star Wars Battlefront’ unveiled

Four new multiplayer modes for Star Wars Battlefront have been revealed. The new modes include Supremacy, Blast, Cargo and Droid Run, which join the recently revealed Drop Zone, Walker Assault, Hero Battle and Fighter Squadron.

IGN’s access to the pre-release beta version of the game highlighted a number of game modes. Some of them are yet to be officially announced and released.

New gameplay modes like Supremacy, is a 40-player battle mode where players can choose either to play as a Rebel or an Imperial. This game mode involves controlling of five key points. Players have access to both ground and air vehicles which play a crucial role in the gameplay. Blast, on the other hand is a classic team death match mode. It features a 10 vs. 10 player match. Also, microtransactions won’t be present in the game, meaning every point earned and weapons acquired in-game will be reflection of the player’s performance.

Previously, the developer has revealed game modes like the Walker Assault, which is also a 40 player battle between Rebels and AT-AT. There was also the Fighter Squadron planetary combat mode and the 16-player mode Drop Zone where eight players in both teams fight in order to control falling escape pods.

“Star Wars Battlefront” runs on moderate spec PC and mid-range laptops that run dedicated graphics cards. An Intel i3 6300T is required at minimum to run the game, although Electronic Arts recommends an Intel i5 6600 or equivalent. The game needs atleast 8GB of RAM to run on the system. Higher RAM would increase responsiveness of the game, especially in bigger maps. Since the game is graphics- intensive, the game requires an ATI Radeon HD 7850 or an Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 with a minimum of 2GB of Graphics Memory.

The official game is scheduled to release on Nov. 17, while the beta will be available to the general public from Oct. 8. “Star Wars Battlefront” will not be available for previous generation consoles like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Beta Access for gaming consoles will be available on Oct. 12.
