Star Wars Battlefront text dump might give away new weapons and modes

Yoda?

Yoda?

So far we've had Solo, Leia and the Emperor potentially leaked. Is Yoda in there too?

Achievements and/or trophies in the file seem to suggest more variety to the missions, with mention of Endor chases (speeder bikes are also mentioned) and a 'Beggar's Canyon mission.

Play nicely

It's not clear if line 630, "your account is banned" refers to a Star Wars specific thing, or a console-related punishment. Either way, best keep the toxicity to a minimum.

Here's what appears to be more solo/co-op missions. They all seem to be unlikely candidates for any new surprise multiplayer modes - Probe Droids and Dark Side in particular clearly aren't going to work as a Vs mode. You can see the previously mentioned Endor Chase and Beggar's Canyon missions mentioned up there, as well as the base-taking Overpower and some sort of hero-rescuing Extraction.

Several weapons are mentioned. The charging sniper-focused Pulse Cannon sounds interesting.

Two things worth pointing out here. Firstly the mention of the Wookie Bowcaster. It's been in most Star Wars games so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see it here. That Cluster Shot also stands out, giving your primary weapon explosive bullets by the sounds of it.

These are the droids... Oh God, I can't do it

More on the Droid Patrol mission, The R5D4 droid is the one that explodes, forcing Luke's uncle to buy R2 instead. The Viper is the spidery one at the start of Empire.

More guns

There are some more weapons listed between 2107 and 2020. The Jawa blaster sound a lot like a shotgun while the T-21B might be a solid mid-long range option.

Traits?

Traits?

Traits are a new thing and appear to be a kind of Star Card. It's possible they might be like the Sharpshooter option from the beta. That had three increasing levels that reduced ability cooldowns when you scored concurrent headshots.

Wait classes?

Wait classes?

Battlefront is meant to be a classless game, using Star Cards to tailor your character. So I've no idea what this is. Possibly something linking into those Traits in the last slide.

Managing editor for guides

I'm GamesRadar's Managing Editor for guides, which means I run GamesRadar's guides and tips content. I also write reviews, previews and features, largely about horror, action adventure, FPS and open world games. I previously worked on Kotaku, and the Official PlayStation Magazine and website. 

Now I say 'might' in the header for two reasons. Firstly, this could all be fake and secondly, if it's real, some of it could be old and no longer relevant. With that in mind, let's look at this Star Wars Battlefront 'string dump'. Essentially it's a text file ripped out of the beta containing all the words that might appear on screen. That includes everything from weapon descriptions and menu prompts, right through to terms and conditions and customer surveys. If it is fake then someone typed out 4352 lines of pretty tedious stuff.

There's more detail in the gallery but even a quick glance through the lines reveal some interesting potential. Plenty of characters are mentioned, either directly or through quotes. Yoda's in there, as is R2 and C3PO (quite a lot of C3PO, actually). Ewoks also get several mentions, including this achievement: "Get hit in the head by a rock from an Ewok on Endor".

There's also what looks like fresh info on Missions. EA and DICE said these would channel classic moments from the film and it looks like there's more on the way than just Survival, with mention of a Endor Chase sounding a lot like it might involve speeder bikes (a vehicle also outed in the text). Beggar's Cannon from Tatooine also gets a mention.

There's a ton of new guns mentioned too just in case you're one of those people that thought the beta had everything. And there's also mention of Traits, another new thing that seems to be some sort of Star Card that works like an actively maintained perk - starting every round at level one and levelling up its ability as you play. Let us know if you see anything I missed.
