Speaking of those classes, there will be four for players to choose from just as they are about to participate in a multiplayer battle.
Assault Troopers excel at close to medium-range combat while Heavy Troopers are known for their durability. Officers are valued for the buffs they provide and Specialists fight from long distance and utilize traps as well.
Fans should be able to learn more about the multiplayer component of "Star Wars Battlefront 2" soon, while the game itself is set to be released worldwide on Nov. 17.
