Star Wars: Battlefront - Patchnotes mit allen Änderungen seit der Beta

Star Wars: Battlefront sind seit dem Beta-Test zahlreiche Änderungen widerfahren. Eine Zusammenfassung gibt es nun in Form von Patchnotes.

In den vergangenen Wochen hat das Entwicklerstudio DICE hier und da bereits durchblicken lassen, welche Dinge an Star Wars: Battlefront seit dessen Beta-Test noch verändert und verbessert wurden. So gab es etwa Balancing-Anpassungen an den Helden, Änderungen am Freischalt-Level verschiedener Blaster und Star-Cards sowie allgemeine Optimierungen an Waffenschaden, Spawns und Vehikeln.

Zur offiziellen Veröffentlichung von Star Wars: Battlefront am 19. November 2015 haben die Entwickler jetzt noch einmal alle seit der Beta-Phase vorgenommenen Änderungen in den Release-Patchnotes zusammengefasst.

Unter anderem gibt es einige Änderungen an der Steuerung. So lässt sich die Bekegung der L1/R1- und der L2/R2-Buttons auf der PlayStation 4 konfigurieren und die Musik im Spiel kann nun über das Optionsmenü ausgeschaltet werden. Außerdem gibt es englich Joystick-Support auf dem PC und es wurden zahlreiche Fehler behoben.
