In an incident that illustrates exactly why it's a good idea to launch a beta before releasing a multiplayer game, DICE has admitted that the Walker Assault level of the Star Wars: Battlefront beta is unfairly balanced in the Imperial's favor. Based on player feedback, they will be reworking the level. This tidbit comes courtesy of Twitter, where a fan reached out:
@sledgehammer70 I have never won a match as a rebel. does this mean I suck?

@Focalin Nope! Its a balancing issue within the Beta.

@yeye97BF4 yeah it's too tough. We'll make changes based on the feedback and data

The beta, which attracted over 9 million players during the course of its extended five day run, served as a lead-in to the official debut of the game, due next month.
Star Wars: Battlefront will come out on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on November 17.
