Someone has started leaking Star Wars Battlefront Alpha gameplay video, which is getting us more and more excited for the title. The videos show off the Battle of Hoth map, playing both the Rebel Alliance and Imperial sides.
The user is RyukS93 and it appears that they’re playing the Alpha on a PC (you can tell because of the mouse that appears in the menu). Some of their videos have already been removed, so make sure you catch all you can now.
Watch them both below.

Rebel Alliance
So what did we learn about Star Wars Battlefront? There are two separate objectives for both sides. In the Battle of Hoth, the Rebels are tasked with protecting their uplinks, which grant them additional Y-Wing aircraft to help take out the AT-ATs. It’s still unknown at this time if the Y-Wings are controlled by players or if they’re simply AI. As far as vehicles are concerned, the Rebel Alliance get Snowspeeders and X-Wings.
The Imperial Alliance must destroy the uplinks. To do this, they control seriously powerful AT-ATs and TIE Fighters. The AT-ATs look absolutely devastating at close range, so it’s in Rebels best interest to take them out ASAP.
