Is Boba Fett overpowered in Star Wars Battlefront?

[Administrator]

Of all the Heroes and Villains in the game it's Boba Fett emerging as one people are calling overpowered. "Jedi are overrated," he quips when killing Luke Skywalker in the game - apparently he's right.
Specifically, Boba Fett excels on - and is therefore overpowered on - the big maps during big modes Walker Assault and Supremacy (20-a-side battles). Videos of him scoring more than 50 kills to no deaths - and much higher - are common. I've embedded a high quality 62-kill-streak video to illustrate this - it's been shared around a fair bit.
The reason Fett stands out is because his jetpack ability makes him very mobile. It's his proverbial get out of jail free card; if the situation is gets too hot and he's in danger of being overwhelmed and killed, he can take to the skies and fly away. He can also get to hard to reach vantage points for the same reason. That's how he's managing to last entire games without being killed.
