No Classes Or Squads In Star Wars Battlefront

As we get closer to the release of the new Star Wars Battlefront video game being released, more details are coming out about the game including news that there will be no classes or squads within the game.    What this means is players won’t be restricted to specific weapons and gear, unlike previous DICE shooting games like Battlefield.

According to the recent Official Xbox Magazine via GamesRadar, they will also be stepping away from having squads and introducing a new ‘Partners’ feature that links two players together so that they can see each other on their HUDS and spawn on each other to save time trying to find one another.  Another added bonus is that you’ll be able to share whatever has been unlocked between the partners, so if you’re teamed with a higher level partner, or someone who’s bought a different loadout with their XP, then you can have access to a different set of toys.

This update might result in some slightly unbalanced partnerships but it does make the game very different to normal online shooting games.

What do you think of this news?
