Geonosis: Dust Plains
Much like Hoth and Endor, Geonosis is one of those planets that holds an iconic battle that cannot be left out of a Battlefront game. Set where the clone army launched their attack on the Trade Federation, this open environment is full of long ranged battles and chaotic vehicular combat. The map itself is divided up by a fair amount of rubble and destroyed mechs scattered across the plains, allowing for a good amount of cover for the infantry trying to advance. There is also some nice verticality at play with the cliffside objective, giving snipers a chance to pick enemies off without being run over.
Yet the tank on tank combat is where Geonosis: Dust Plains thrives as the map offers a plethora of different vehicles like Spider Walkers, Hellfire Droids, AT-TEs, and Republic Gunships. All of this helps shift and move the battle lines, ensuring that both sides always have a way to push in. It’s a wonderful map and this kind of open field conflict was desperately missing from the last Battlefront.
