Putting aside all the controversies "Star Wars: Battlefield II" has gotten itself into, there are still a considerable amount of players in the game since it is, after all, a "Star Wars" game. That said, developer DICE is expected to continually update the game, and recently, they have revealed some of their future plans, specifically, a new progression system and a new game mode.

As mentioned, because of all the controversies, DICE had to quickly address the progression system from the very beginning of its release. While it did leave a bad taste in the mouth of many players, it still got better anyhow. This time around, they are now making an even more legitimate change, not one that was caused by loot box issues.

Unfortunately, not much said about this revamped progression system. The post acknowledges the problems that players have had and reported. But, as for the actual details of changes, they only give a vague promise. "We'll be sharing more details about these changes in March," reads the official blog.

Aside from this, there is also a new mode coming called Jetpack Cargo, and it will come a month before the progression system details in February. "Two teams of eight players equipped with jetpack compete in Jetpack Cargo, a frantic, fast-paced way to play," reads the blog. "This mode will only be available for a limited time, so don't miss it."

Lastly, the blog post mentions that the first season of the game will soon come to a close. However, again, they do not share many details about what is to come for the second season aside from the ones already mentioned.

All of these updates will likely come separately. For many fans, it is good to know that at the very least they are trying to build the game back up.
