EA has been forced to search the internet for all Star Wars Battlefront content that has been uploaded by Alpha Users.
[toggler title=”TL;DR” ]Star Wars Battlefront Alpha Users signed a user agreement that stated they would not reveal any content to non-alpha users. However, many alpha users have violated this agreement and uploaded a number of videos spoiling some of the Battlefront content.[/toggler]
This past week, EA released an alpha version of the highly anticipated, Star Wars Battlefront video game. It is said to be EA’s project of the year and because of this, the alpha users were quick to upload the content of the game online.
The alpa users were asked in the user agreement to not upload any of the game content. Unfortunately for EA, many of these users ignored this agreement and have posted a number of videos displaying single player and multiplayer modes. As a result, EA quickly put together a “takedown team” to search and destroy the videos that were uploaded on various sites of the internet.
The videos released displayed a number of the battle scenes featured in the upcoming Star Wars games that took place in Star Wars Episodes IV, V, and VI. The initial upload was published on a website called NeoGAF which lists a number of the weapons and vehicles that players have access to in the various maps and game modes.
In the alpha download, the weapons that were available to players included the E11, A280, DH17, DL44, DLT19, DLT20a, EE3, Rocket Launcher, SE14c, and the T21. The weapons are exclusive to certain characters and maps for the different gameplay modes.
The vehicles that were displayed in the alpha download included the T-65 X-Wing, the Tie-Fighter, Lambda Shuttle, Y-Wing, Tie-Bomber, Correllian Corvette, Nebulon B Frigate, Imperial Star Destroyer, Mon Calamari Capital Ship Home One, AT-ST, AT-AT, Tie Interceptor, and the 74-Z Speeder Bike.
Other interesting features include possible Storm Trooper customization as well as emote animations for players. The content is still viewable on the NeoGAF website, but none of it has been confirmed to show up in the game.
The game has been predicted to be EA’s most important game of the year and DICE’s general manager discussed the amount of pressure he has been under to release a Star Wars game that is as good as the films. It seems like all of the early-released content has been taken down by EA and its takedown team. The game is slated for release on November 17th, 2015.
