Just like unlocking heroes during battle, you can unlock new soldier classes. Just like the previous Battlefront game with the droideka and dark troopers, these new soldiers are unlocked by getting a certain number of points on the battlefield. These new classes include the Bothan spy and the Clone commander. The Bothan spy is used by the Rebels. This new character uses a powerful close range flamethrower and a cloak that leaves a shimmer similar to the Predator’s. The Clone commander is a very fun character play as because of its very fast chain gun. Just as the blasters on a vehicle, the chain gun can overheat, and you will be forced to stop using it until it cools down.
The game features a very fun and cool handful of space missions. Instead of just killing off infantry units as you would on planets such as Endor or Hoth, these space levels allow you to pilot an X-Wing or a Tie Fighter, and attack enemy ships. You can even land inside of your enemy’s destroyer ship and destroy some internal systems such as the engines or shields. Doing this earns you a massive amount of points. Each side has to earn 180 points or greater in order to win a space match.
Both sides start out by picking what type of pilot they want, just like any other battle, and then both are spawned at their bases. While in the base, you can choose to pilot an aircraft, or go inside of your base and take control of a turret. If you choose the turret, you can shoot down enemy ships from your destroyer. Your destroyer ship serves as an aircraft carrier that spawns team ships and holds important objects such as your turrets and shields. If you want to pilot an aircraft, you can choose from about five different ships to take control of. There are bombers, transport ships, regular fighter crafts, and faster versions of fighter crafts. You can attack enemy fighters and earn one point for each ship shot down or you can attack outside weak spots on the enemy’s destroyer. The best part of the space levels is going inside of an enemy’s destroyer and attack all of the internal weak spots. This is very useful for getting major points.
Star Wars: Battlefront II takes place between the Clone Wars era and the Rebellion era. During your campaign mode, you will understand what exactly happened between Star Wars: Episode III and Episode IV. You will know exactly how the Clone soldiers became the bad guys, and how each soldier changed its looks. The story is narrated by a Clone soldier and, unlike the original Battlefront, the story doesn’t span over the entire Star Wars story line.
