Star Wars Battlefront developer acknowledges beta balancing issue

If you were playing the just-finished Star Wars Battlefront beta as a member of the Rebel Alliance, you might have found yourself have a hard time during the Walker Assault mode. This is because of a problem with balancing in the upcoming game, according to developer DICE.

A community manager for the game confirmed the issue on Twitter after players reached out expressing their difficulties playing.

@Focalin Nope! Its a balancing issue within the Beta.

A designer for the multiplayer side of Battlefront also shared that the development team was aware of the bias against Rebel players, and planned to make changes.

@yeye97BF4 yeah it's too tough. We'll make changes based on the feedback and data
