Star Wars Battlefront II has been on a rough ride since launch. In terms of updates, it hasn’t been treated half as well as EA’s first Battlefront reboot. Though thankfully with the last community transition, it’s clear that’s there’s a whole host of updates to expect throughout the Summer as well as beyond that. If you haven’t read about August’s much-needed update, you can do so here. If you have, then it’s on to September.
Star Wars Battlefront II Back to School Party
According to the devs of Star Wars Battlefront II, ‘September is shaping up to be a great month’. And it sounds about right too.
Its been a while since we’ve had Geonosis on our Capital Supremacy and Galactic Assault rotation. And in September, we’ve finally got a much-hyped Clone Wars location; Felucia. According to the transition, Felucia is looking to be one of the best-looking maps that Dice has built to date and are eagerly awaiting us to play it (then why not release it early?). Here’s a lengthy description of the context of the location:
The Separatists’ invasion of Felucia is nearing its end. With only a single, powerful vehicle left to cover the evacuation of a Felucian farming community, the clones struggle to maintain their last line of defence long enough for Republic transports to collect a large cache of valuable medicinal plants from the village.As the droids advance towards the clones’ position, the squad chooses to go on the offence, destroying the dreadnought responsible for the attack. However, the droids have a plan of their own: Ensure the Republic can’t escape with the plants by bringing down their Venator.
Sound pretty good. And like other Battlefront maps, it sounds like Felucia has plenty of personality with aspects from traditional Felucian farms, a cave of dead Rancor and even the remains the ‘mighty Sarlacc’. But that’s far from the best-looking part of the update.
