Star Wars Battlefront (2015 video game)

I have listed this article for peer review because I believe that the article has potential to getting a GA-status. Yes, the "Reception" section needs to be expanded, but I am looking for other ways to improve the article.

The whole article needs work. It's incomplete and it needs some copyediting as well because it is not very well written in my opinion. Alot of the article is quite disjoint and just doesn't read cohesively. It is not close to GA at the moment in my opinion.

Lead

• Needs expanding, there's already a cleanup tag present.

Gameplay

• The gameplay section doesn't talk about the game modes available. Are they all deathmatch? Are they objective-based? Other than shooting and running about on Star Wars planets, what do players do in this game?
• Is there a progression system? How are weapons unlocked?
• How do I get to play as these other characters like Han Solo, Luke, etc? The gameplay section says nothing about that.
• Where do the non-playable characters like C-3PO make appearances in the game? Do they just pop up in the middle of a multiplayer match?
• It says there are coop missions but doesn't explain what you do in them.
• Expand about the use of vehicles in gameplay. Do the vehicles have weapons? How are they obtained? Is there anything special about them.

Development

• This section has hardly any information about the actual development of the game. It is largely a bunch of announcements for trailers. This sort of stuff should be split off into a "Marketing and release" section covered after "Development". And then expand that to cover more information about the marketing and release of the game. It's Star Wars, I'm sure there was loads of marketing for it.
• There's no information about the art, audio/music, combat design, and level design. Are there no interviews with developers? What were their goals for creating the game? What Star Wars source material did they use as inspiration? What challenges did they face? How much influence did Disney/Lucas have on the game? This was a big game of 2015 so there should be plenty of coverage on video game websites and magazines.

Reception

• Needs expanding, there's already a cleanup tag present.
• Get rid of pre-release post-release subsection. Just have one reception section that all of how the game was received critically.
• I don't think a table is necessary for one award nomination. Did the game receive just one nomination from all media and press? If so, just cover it in a sentence under critical reception. Otherwise add the other awards and nominations.

References

• Reference 8 is dead link.
