Fun fact, the "Earth Shattering Explosion" sound at 12:21 is extremely similar to a glitch that Devil May Cry 3 has in the Devil May Cry HD Collection, where sounds will just be *ear-piercingly loud* for zero reason or explanation at random, completely ignoring whatever sound settings you have.

Honestly, the reason that battlefield is such a hard concept for companies to make is because executives believe that it will sell based on IP and legacy. Pandemic made a quality game that happened to be star wars themed. Everyone else set out to make a game functional enough to sell based on the star wars and battlefront IP.

Fun fact: the mod they stole was in the game at launch on PS5/Switch!!! They had to patch it out out a several hours after the game released on PS5/Switch to replace it with a newer version without it. Was a last minute patch held up by Sony/Nintendo's security approval and they left the old wrong version of the mod uncredited in the game at launch. Makes me think they never would've taken out the uncredited mod if they weren't called out The funny part about the mod they stole is it's the wrong older version.
