What hero abilities would you change for Battlefront 3?

Personally I would replace Palpatines electrify as it’s kinda useless in most situations. I think Reys insight could be changed into something else and give her a ability that she used in Rise of Skywalker. Idens pulse rifle should be changed into a different weapon like a missile launcher or something like that and her droid shield should give her a speed boost and lessen damage from lightsaber attacks. I think BB-9Es charge up should be a different buff as it just doesn’t last long enough. Lastly I think Bobas concussion mission needs to be changed. Make it his flamethrower from Battlefront 2015 or something.

@Ibmilo1 The problem I see with current heroes is they are trying to use one system to balance large scale modes and HvV. HvV should be on it's own separate balance system.

So maybe don't have push/pull as standard in HvV. That would be fine. But in large scale modes, the HvV balancing is getting lightsaber heroes melted. A big reason is the stamina and overall limited ability to engage troops at a point without having to hit and run...and I mean fast too. You have to be good to get it done. A noob doesn't stand a chance.

@PsyEd2k4 I don't think I've heard of that game. They recently put Jedi Knight on PS4. I may download that and give it a shot. It's supposed to have some really good lightsaber combat.

@ArchAngeL-PCX well for me....back in the Ps2 days...it was the BEST SW duel game....heck still is!
Here's a sample of Dooku Vs Obi....and the SAME voice actors.
So yeah for the new BF3...I would tweak many things of that game to make it less repetitive and boring at times.There are combo's in the game as well...which this video doesn't show. Actually Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith is what I need a sequel of...I think DICE can deliver a quality duel game if they only focus on that.

@PsyEd2k4 that does look great. A few things I noticed:

- Doesn't appear to have a stamina bar. You can block and attack at will.
- force push and pull don't seem to use force energy which is great.
- any higher level force powers use up the force meter...no cooldowns? That would be nice.

Overall a much more free form of combat than we have. The stamina plus cooldown system puts way too much constraints on heroes in Battlefront 2. DICE needs to take a hard look at games from that PS2 era. Jedi Knight, Battlefront 2, this Episode 3 game...they all had better systems imo.

The duel system in Force Unleashed is very similar and really good too.
