Oh we'll be seeing a lot of these I suppose, bring them on. This video shows off the Fighter Squadron Mode in the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront game. Video after the break.... Star Wars Battlefront: Fighter Squadron Mode Video
Looks epic no doubt, I just hope the game mode won't have the same outcome as air superiority did in BF4, where it died out pretty fast after release.
I dont think it will die out if they kept the controls relatively the same as say battlefront 2. I hope there is a capture the flag mode I probably played that the most back then.
I haven't played the original Battlefront games, but compared to BF3/4 it's said that the controls are much more "casual" friendly. If it's true then it's good news for me, since I'm rather crap at flying jets in BF3/4.
Probably it will be a bit different, since people already were waiting for pure fighter battles. Then again, it all depends on if the player base is that much different from BF series veterans, or if there's lots of 'new' people playing that game.
I have played as the tie and x-wing and the snow speeders (whatever they're called) in the closed beta (looks exactly like the video) and confirm it's more or less exactly like air superiority mode in BF4. I found it very hard to control the craft (had to reverse up/down) and almost impossible to hit anything. Also the draw distance when in craft was tiny so you couldn't see anything at all on the ground until you were right up on them.
Damn, guess I'll skip these modes then. As said, I was terrible at air superiority in BF4, only did it for some asignments.
