Star Wars Battlefront's Supremacy Mode Features Its Biggest Maps

EA today unveiled another of the game modes featured in DICE's upcoming Star Wars Battlefront. Supremacy is essentially a control points mode that is said to feature the biggest versions of the game's maps, vehicles, and hero/villain units.

At the start of a Supremacy match, the two teams each own a pair of control points and have to fight for control of a neutral point in the middle. Once that's through, the goal is to capture all five points or hold the majority of them after 10 minutes have elapsed.

Points need to be captured in order, unlike the signature Conquest mode in DICE's Battlefield series, where teams can be fighting over numerous points at once. In Supremacy, only two are active at any given time; you can't sneak around to the team's furthest-away point and grab it while no one is looking.

The maps used in Supremacy are their largest versions (as opposed to those in Battlefront's team deathmatch mode, Blast). But with only certain points being active at any given time, DICE has made it so that you'll always spawn close to the action. In a post on the official website, lead level design Dennis Brännvall says this ensures players will "never feel isolated from the fight." Additionally, by keeping the action centralized, "players not playing the objective and camping on a hill somewhere will be a rare sight."

Vehicles can be used in Supremacy, with "almost all" of those in the game being present, according to EA. That includes X-wings and TIE fighters.

Also featured in Supremacy mode are the game's hero and villain characters; you'll occasionally have the opportunity to take control of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, and others, depending on whether you're fighting for the Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire.

In addition to Supremacy and the aforementioned Blast, we also know Battlefront includes a variety of other competitive multiplayer modes, as well as a co-op mode. It does not, however, offer any sort of single-player campaign. That's in part because "very few people actually play the single-player on these kinds of games," as EA COO Peter Moore told GameSpot in a newly published interview.

Battlefront is due out for Xbox One, PS4, and PC on November 17.
