More Details on Battlefront Drop Zone Mode

Drop Zone

Few days ago EA announced that in October they will be releasing an open beta for the highly anticipated Star Wars: Battlefront game, and teased a new game mode called Drop Zone. Now the game company shares more details about the mode…

 

From EA:

 

Similar to “King of the Hill”-style experiences, the objective in Drop Zone centers on drop pods falling through the atmosphere onto the planet surfaces. In tight 8-versus-8 matches, Rebel and Empire teams fight to capture and control these pods.

 

When you locate a drop pod’s landing site, make your way to it and trigger the short claim process. Your team will win if it captures five pods, or control the majority of them after the 10-minute match is up. If a pod is constantly changing possession with no team able to defend it long enough to claim it, another pod will be sent down to break the stalemate. Then, there would be two pods that the teams have to gain control over.

 

Apart from playing the objective and bringing your team to victory, claiming pods comes with another perk: they contain Power Pickups. Once successfully claimed, the pod will start to open. This will take a moment, but staying around to get your hands on the contents can definitely be worth the risk. The choice is yours, though; when your claimed pod is opening up, another one will hit the surface elsewhere and going for that one could be the smarter move.

 

 

For more details go to EA.

 

Star Wars: Battlefront will be released on November 17, 2015. The first DLC for the game titled Battle of Jakku will be released on December 8, 2015.

    Sounds fun… honestly it’s a Star Wars videogame. Haven’t had a good one in ages. I’ll just be happy to hold a blaster and shoot!

    So it’s the exact same thing as Drop Zone from Call of Duty. Dumb.

      King of the Hill games existed before CoD lol. And at lest they called it something different. CoD ripped off ‘gun game’ from CounterStrike…. didn’t even rename it.

    It sucks we won’t be getting a TFA game. Yeah, Jakku is in this but it’s the Jakku of 30 years ago with old trilogy vehicles.

    Still no Galactic Conquest. Aside from Instant Action, is there any way you can play co-op vs bots with a friend online?
