We finally know why Stormtroopers can’t aim thanks to Star Wars Battlefront

Star Wars Battlefront, the multiplayer shooter from DICE and Electronic Arts, will not have aiming down sights. Although the game can be played in first or third-person views, Executive Producer Patrick Bach told OXM that the game will not feature the snappy aiming found in DICE’s own Battlefield games.

“There are no ironsights in Star Wars, on the ordinary blasters. You have scopes on some rifles, but there are no ironsights.”

Without the visual and stability assistance that ironsights, or aim down sights, brings it’s no wonder that Stormtroopers can’t hit Rebels in a straight hallway shootout. Look at them. There’s not even an attempt to aim. It’s just hip-firing all the way! No wonder they lost. Star Wars Battlefront will launch on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC on November 17th.
