This year's Gamescom event has come and gone, it has left us with both questions and answers in regards to upcoming games. One of the games that coughed up some answers was Star Wars Battlefront.
EA took to Twitter for a Gamescom Q&A sessions that shed some light on different game modes, how the players were split up in different modes, space battles and more.
Of course, as this was open forum Q&A, EA picked out what specific questions to answer. Without further ado, here are the questions and their answers:

A.) The game gives you some of the most epic and authentic Star Wars battles ever seen in a video game!

A.) Oh yes. And they will CRUSH the rebel scum!
