The
Star Wars Battlefront website has details on Supremacy, one of the
multiplayer modes in
Star Wars Battlefront, the upcoming force-powered
action game (thanks Cale). They offer one image with the article, and here's a
portion of the text:
Supremacy centers on five control points scattered
across the map. The objective is gaining control of all five, or the majority of
them, before the 10 minute round is over. Each team starts the match controlling
two of these control points, initially fighting for control of the fifth one in
the center. After this is determined, the control points need to be claimed in a
set order. This means the action will be taking place on two control points at a
time – one for each team.
An intense mode for players that know their way around the battlefront,
Supremacy is ideal for those craving all-out multiplayer action. According to
Lead Level Designer Dennis Brännvall, this action will be both immediate and
intense.
“When you spawn into Supremacy, you don’t have to move far to see a lot of
friends – and enemies. You’re thrown into a massive frontline, where your screen
is filled with adversaries: infantry, Heroes, Walkers, and starfighters. You can
prepare for very heavy and focused Star Wars™ action,” Brännvall says.
If you’re the defending type, Supremacy will guarantee many enemies assaulting
your control point. If you’re an attacking player, you'll surely find them
trying to defend their control point from capture, ensuring constant frontline
action.
Almost all vehicles in Star Wars Battlefront will take part in the fight, so
keep an eye on the sky for TIE fighters and X-wings soaring through the sky to
assist the quest for supremacy at each location. Heroes and Villains will also
join the fight, and their unique abilities will help both sides in different
ways.
“Using a character like Darth Vader to secure control points is great, as he can
take increased damage before going down. Luke Skywalker and Boba Fett are great
for moving swiftly between attacking and defensive positions, and giving you the
edge against opponents in battle,” Brännvall explains.
