It Won't Borrow a Single System From Battlefield, and We Compare Them Even
DICE assures fans that Battlefront won't be a carbon copy or re-skin of its Battlefield franchise. According to DICE, not even a single system from its military FPS.
We covered the two games in one of our Versus videos which you can watch above.
It Will Focus on the Original Trilogy
Don't expect Jar Jar Binks (thankfully) or any from the new trilogy.
Full story here.
AT-ATs Are on Rails and DICE Explains Why
Those big AT-ATs can't be driven like a vehicle but will instead travel a pre-determined path.
According to DICE, letting them be driven will be "game-breaking ."
There's No Server Browser
Unfortunately, Battlefront won't feature a server browser and will instead rely on skill based matchmaking.
It Won't Have Micro-Transactions!
Here's a breath of fresh air; Star Wars Battlefront won't implement any micro-transaction model of any kind.
Know of those charged Star Cards? To charge it, you need to pick up charges in-game, and buying some won't be an option.
Full Battlefront Trophy List
Yep, it's mostly multiplayer-centric as expected.
Check out the full Trophy list here.
Don't Count on Mouse and Keyboard Support
While DICE says it's "not able to confirm" if the PS4 version will support mouse and keyboard, I wouldn't bet on it. If it was implemented, we'd have definitely have heard about it now.
We Covered the Beta a Fair Bit With Tips and More
We liked what we played of the Battlefront beta, but we didn't stop there. We rolled out tips, and other features that you really ought to check out.
Use Your Own Chat Solutions, No Clan and Dedicated Voice Support
Not only is there no clan support -- at least, at launch anyway -- but there's no dedicated chat either. Granted, most people use their console's party chat feature most of the time, but still, the option of it being there could have been nice, no?
These Are the Star Wars Battlefront PS4 Bundles, Darth Vader Controller Can Be Bought Separately
Announced in August this year is the Star Wars Battlefront PS4 bundle that not only includes a few Star Wars classic games (and Battlefront obviously), but even is Darth Vader-themed, too. Check out this trailer to see it in motion.
If you just want the Darth Vader DualShock 4 controller, Sony's selling that separately too.
And nope. there's no Xbox One Battlefront bundle . Sorry!
DICE Prioritized Graphical Fidelity Over Resolution, Will Run at 900p/60fps

Battlefront will run at 900p (720p on Xbox One) but at a crisp 60 frames-per-second.
We Talked to DICE About the Development of Battlefront

Battlefront Will Have an In-Game Diorama
According to DICE, the diorama is for "real completionists." The studio revealed this little nugget to us during our exclusive chat.
Read the full story here .
Dedicated Servers Are a Go
No lagging here. DICE confirmed to us that there will be dedicated servers!
Don't Expect Classes or Squads
DICE states that people shouldn't expect classes or squads -- two staples of Battlefield -- to be in Battlefront since their will be a Partner system, and the Star Cards give enough customization options to act as its own class.
DICE Is Said to
DICE claims t hey've managed to get the most or max out the PS4. Yeah, we hear this for almost every game and in every gen...but could DICE finally be on to something given how sexy Battlefront looks?
DICE Explains Why Battlefront Doesn't Have a Campaign
DICE said it had to "focus" on multiplayer which is one of the main reasons why Battlefront doesn't have a full fledged single-player campaign. This wasn't decided on haphazardly, either. According to DICE, a full single-player was never in the plans.
Instead of a campaign, Battlefront will have "Missions ."
Nope, It's Not Battlefront III but a Reboot
DICE General Manager Patrick Bach states that the team wanted to start over and used the good parts of the old Battlefront games to build their own version of it.
Read Bach's full statement here.
Here's the Reveal Trailer That Wowed Us All
Admit it, when you first saw the gameplay reveal trailer, you didn't believe when DICE said it was using in-game assets (we didn't either).
But they did it, and you have to admit, Battlefront looks crazy good.
There's Playable Female Characters
Want to play as a femme fatale in Battlefront? Now you can ! Not just Princess Leia, mind you, but actual female characters! Hurray for diversity in shooters -- finally!
There's a Han Solo Fridge Bundled With Battlefront, but Good Luck Finding It
Remembe that scene where Han Solo was frozen in carbonite? Well, there's a fridge where that's used as the design. It's set to come out the same day as the vanilla game, so good luck!
Check out the fridge screens and details here.
There's No Space Battles at Launch and Here's Why
Here's what studio GM Patrick Bach said on why they didn't include space battles right out of the bat (isn't "normal" air battles like in space but with a different background?).
We want players to stay in the same [environment] – we don’t want players to fly off and do something over here. It’s about the Battlefront experience, so we want to keep you in-atmosphere and fighting with the infantry.
[As a studio] we have to start somewhere. You can’t do everything at once. We want to build something that’s great for what it is, and have a holistic view on what we’re trying to achieve, rather than tossing everything in there from the start.
I'd wager, we'll see space battles in one of the expansions, no?
Check Out the Fighter Squadron Gameplay and the Millennium Falcon!
Fighter Squadron is Battlefront's air vehicles only mode. Of course, you can't have that without the Millenium Falcon making an appearance. Check the details and the gameplay showcasing Solo's iconic ship here .
