2. Story mode

New Star Wars Battlefront

Notice the wording there, not a Campaign mode but, a story mode. What’s the difference I hear you ask? well technically, Galactic Conquest was a Campaign mode in the original Battlefront installments and that, to many, would count as a ‘campaign mode’. No, my friends, this will simply not suffice.

What DICE should be doing is taking the basic premise the original Battlefront 2 created and create a story from the perspective of a Clone Trooper and his metamorphosis into a Stormtrooper of the Galactic Empire. Battlefront 2 back in 2005 did start this by having some diary-like entries before each mission, but it wasn’t a true narrative based story mode. Having a true story mode set across the two eras will allow DICE to showcase the diverse worlds in the Star Wars universe and also do something quite innovative in video game story telling, switching the protagonist to an antagonist. It will also give us the opportunity to see Order 66 from the perspective of another set of eyes as well and it will also create another beloved Clone brother to join the likes of Rex, Fives and Hot Shot.
