DICE to balance Battlefront's Walker Assault

Rebels found it harsh on Hoth.

We've enjoyed the beta version of Star Wars Battlefront over the course of the few days it lasted. Brilliant atmosphere and addictive gameplay and us returning to the fray over and over, in spite or there only being two multiplayer modes (each available with one map) to play.

The most impressive mode, the 20 vs 20 Walker Assault mode where Rebels and Imperials face off as Imperial AT-ATs try and reach the generators to blow up the Rebel base, while Rebels try and capture Uplinks in order to open up the AT-ATs for attacks, was certainly challenging for the Rebel side. Partly due to the fact that the Rebels are in need of more coordination in order capture the Uplinks and do maximum damage while the AT-ATs are vulnerable. But it also seems a balance tweak might be in order, something that DICE has noticed too.

Game designer Dennis Brännvall addressed the issue on Twitter.
