Heroes
After accomplishing a task, such as capturing a certain command post, you are able to obtain the services of one of these Heroes to aid you. Each has a different ability and will last a limited amount of time. The time, represented by a lightsaber bar, will decrease faster if the player does negative things such as spawn-camping or killing teammates and will decrease slower if the player kills numerous enemy units or vehicles. Each team gets one Hero at a time, but there can be more than one Hero for each team per match if the Heroes are unlocked more than once. In addition, each Jedi has the ability to use Force jump and Force speed.

Game Facts

 * Each faction in Battlefront II will have a space-limited class called the marine. The marines have rocket launchers, blaster rifles, and thermal detonators.
 * The Rebel smuggler is the Alliances' engineer class. He will be replaced with a pilot on Hoth (Echo Base).
 * The Imperial engineer will wear the same clothes as the Imperial gunner with black overalls and the enclosed helmet.
 * Engineers/Pilots can hijack enemy vehicles by using their fusioncutters to rip open hatches and pull the enemy outside; then they can climb in and steal the vehicle. They must stand near the vehicle with their fusioncutter until slicing reaches 100 percent.
 * Players will be able to change the reinforcement count in Instant Action from 25 for quick skirmishes and up to 750 each team for epic battles.

Variant Troopers
On certain levels, certain characters have outfit changes to match the environment/movie.


 * NOTE: There are many other variant troopers in game, here are some examples:

Galactic Republic

 * All clone troopers: Phase I armor&mdash;Geonosis, 501st Legion Markings&mdash;Coruscant, Jedi Temple, all other maps.
 * Clone sharpshooter: BARC trooper outfit&mdash;Kashyyyk, Dagobah, Felucia.

Confederacy of Independent Systems

 * Note: As these forces are droids, there are no variant forms of them.

Galactic Empire

 * Anakin Skywalker: Sith cloak&mdash;Jedi Temple.
 * All Imperials: Snowtrooper outfit&mdash;Hoth, Mygeeto.

Rebel Alliance (Alliance to Restore the Republic)

 * Luke Skywalker: Pilot outfit&mdash;Hoth, Black Jedi outfit&mdash;Jabba's Palace, Death Star, Mygeeto.
 * All Rebels: Snow outfit&mdash;Hoth, Gray outfit&mdash;Dagobah, Kashyyyk, Jungle outfit&mdash;Yavin IV, Endor, Desert outfit&mdash;Tatooine.

Space Classes
Space battles will have only two classes&mdash;a pilot and a marine. Pilots repair whatever starfighter they are in and are equipped with a commando pistol, timebombs, fusioncutter, and health/ammo dispensers.

The marines are better used to board enemy capital ships as they are equipped with a blaster rifle, a rocket launcher, and thermal detonators. A full battallion of eight marines and two pilots can successfully board an enemy ship, take out its interior systems, then run back to their transport and escape with minimal casualties.

Each pilot and marine skin varies with their faction:

Galactic Republic

 * Clone marine: White and blue armor
 * Clone trooper pilot: Gray suit, open faced Helmet, white gloves

Rebel Alliance

 * Alliance marine: Gray suit, black vest, helmet
 * Rebel pilot: Helmet, orange jumpsuit

Galactic Empire

 * Imperial marine: White armor, backpack, orange shoulder pad
 * Imperial pilot: Black jumpsuit, oxygen mask

Confederacy of Independent Systems

 * Droid marine: B-1 battle droid with green markings
 * Pilot droid: B-1 battle droid with blue markings

Capital Ships

Galactic Republic

 * Battleship: Venator-class Star Destroyers
 * Frigate: Acclamator-class assault ships

Starfighters
Controls will be more akin to that of Rogue Squadron than that of the X-wing game series.

Each faction (Rebels, Empire, Republic, CIS) will feature four different types of ships.


 * Bomber/Heavy Assault (Y-wing, TIE Bomber, V-wing starfighter, Belbullab-22 starfighter)
 * Fighter (X-wing, TIE Fighter, ARC-170 starfighter, Vulture droid starfighter)
 * Interceptor (A-wing, TIE Interceptor, Jedi interceptor, Tri-fighter)
 * Troop Transport (Rebel Troop Transport, Theta-class shuttle, LAAT/i Republic gunship, HMP Droid Transport)
 * The troop transports act as spawn points when docked, so a transport can land inside an enemy ship's hangar and spawn one faction's troops inside.

Battlefronts
In Battlefront II, there are no two maps that take place on the same planet (except Tatooine), save for space levels, as this adds more variety to the missions.

There are 18 land maps and 6 space maps in instant action (Space Coruscant and Space Endor are not in instant action). This means that Battlefront II has over five times as much variety as its predecessor had. Instant action has 6 playable space maps. Some space maps such as Mustafar and Coruscant are only availible in story mode, All space maps are availible in Galactic Conquest. Geonosis Hoth

Objective-Based Gameplay
A new feature being incorporated is objective-based game play. According to previews, for a mission to be successful certain objectives must first be met. On the Tantive IV, security mainframes must be destroyed. For example, in a demonstrated space battle, the Tantive IV must be damaged. At EA Imagine, a story mode level was displayed, and on it was Mygeeto. On this planet, a city hall command post must be taken. Then there were two anti-air turrets that must be destroyed. After that, a small ray-shield generator must be destroyed. Following this there was a large, city-based shield generator that needed to be damaged, and a crystal within that had to be taken. Then the clone troopers needed to fight their way back to the gunships. In an Utapau demo released alongside the Nov. issue of Official PlayStation and Xbox Magazines, a series of objectves must be completed to win the level:
 * NOTE: It is possible that not all levels have this.
 * Capture the Lookout.
 * Capture the Highway (Obi-Wan is accessible at this point).
 * Capture Hangar 10.
 * Defeat General Grievous.
 * Destroy 2 AA guns.
 * Destroy an energy tower.

Galactic Conquest
It seems now you can teach an old game mode new tricks with SWBFII's enhanced Galactic Conquest mode. NOTE: This information may change over time.

There are four different starting scenarios:
 * Birth of the Rebellion: Dagobah, Yavin 4, Hoth
 * Republic Sovereignty: Kamino, Naboo, Coruscant
 * Dark Reign of the Empire: Endor, Coruscant, Mustafar
 * The Confederate Uprising: Geonosis, Utapau, Mustafar

You dispatch your fleets at different planets. If you go to a planet held by the enemy, you first battle in space and then battle on land to secure the planet. Based on your results, you get credits which can be used on two things&mdash;recruiting units and purchasing bonuses.

Bonuses are:
 * Energy Boost (200)
 * Extra Garrison (200)
 * Auto Turrets (200)
 * Bacta Tanks (400)
 * Supplies (400)
 * Combat Shielding (400)
 * Sabotage (600)
 * Enhanced Blasters (600)
 * Leader (800)

You get 300 credits for winning a space battle. If you also capture the planet itself, you get between 500-1,000 credits.

You start off with one fleet, then another extra costs you 1000, then the next one costs 2000, etc. You can only move one fleet per turn.

You start with basic trooper class for ground; pilot for space. The game is played out in turns and you can use the credits you earn to buy new classes:


 * Marine: 800 credits
 * Sniper: 1000 credits
 * Heavy Weapons: 1000 credits
 * Engineer: 1000 credits
 * Special: 1800 credits
 * Commander: 1800 credits

The goal is to conquer all the planets in the game. When all planets in the Galaxy are controlled by one side, the game is over.

Commander/Officer Class
The new class has a bonus which allows him to command his brethren much better than ordinary soldiers. For example, one may have the ability to reveal enemy tank and troop movements, making the commander's decisions the most reliable. He also adds a morale bonus to nearby troops increasing their effectiveness in battle.


 * Galactic Empire: Imperial Officer
 * Rebel Alliance: Bothan Spy
 * Galactic Republic: Galactic Marines Clone Commander
 * Confederacy of Independent Systems: IG-100 MagnaGuard

Campaign Mode
In the game, you will play as a clone trooper or stormtrooper in the 501st Legion campaign mode. Your actions will determine the successes and/or failures of the legion. The campaign mode will take you to multiple planets, and the story will involve everything from the Battle of Geonosis, creation of the 501st, through Order 66, and explaining the creation of the Empire. The story will also reveal the transformation from the clone troopers to stormtroopers, and will take place in the timeframe from Episode II to Episode V.

Story Missions
Chapter 1: Fall of the Old Republic&mdash;A shadow looms over the Republic. The Clone Wars have torn a rift across the Galaxy. Its populace weak in allegiance and resolve, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine has commissioned an elite division of clone troopers, the 501st Legion, to vanquish the seperatist threat once and for all.

Their unwavering loyalty to the Chancellor, combined with the Republic's desperation to see an end to the war, has set the stage for the execution of Palpatine's ultimate plan.

Braving the frigid world of Mygeeto, the 501st joins Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi for the first of many crucial battles destined to shape the fate of the galaxy...

Chapter 2: Rise of the Empire&mdash;The Galactic Republic has fallen. Emperor Palpatine has created a new Galactic Empire to rule in its place. Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, has taken command of the elite division of troopers known as the 501st.

Now known across the galaxy as "Vader's Fist", the 501st strives to establish order in the name of the Galactic Empire.

On the once peaceful planet of Naboo, the Emperor orders his newly armored stormtroopers to stifle the seeds of rebellion in a diplomatic manner befitting the new Empire...

Cross-Era Story Missions

 * The missions Preventive Measures and Tying up Loose Ends are Empire vs. CIS. In these two missions, a rogue Geonosian engineer by the name of Gizor Dellso has reactivated the droid control beacon on Mustafar, and the 501st must first fight in high orbit above the planet, then land on the firey world, shut down the droids, eliminate Gizor, then destoy the old CIS refinery via a massive oribtal strike to ensure that the incident will never happen again.


 * The mission Changing of the Guard is Empire vs Clones. In this mission, the Prime Minister of Kamino has been secretly growing a new Clone Army to help the Rebels fight back against the Empire. Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, hires Boba Fett for his knowledge of the inner workings of the clone facility and sends the 501st to Kamino to destroy the cloning facility, collect samples of the clone DNA, then return to a waiting shuttle.

Bosses
On certain levels, the 501st must kill certain important people from the opposition as an objective.


 * Utapau&mdash;General Grievous
 * Jedi Temple&mdash;Four Jedi Masters
 * Mustafar&mdash;Gizor Dellso
 * Naboo&mdash;Queen Apailana

 * Jabba's Palace&mdash;Rancor

Acklays will spawn constantly throughout the battle on Felucia, whereas the rancor cannot die and only stay in one place.

Neutral Sides


On certain levels, there are three way battles between the two normal sides and a neutral side, and on others, the natives join a certain side.


 * Key: (N) stands for neutral, (A) stands for aggressive [fights everyone], (R) stands for Galactic Republic, (C) for Confederacy of Independent Systems, (E) for Galactic Empire, and (RA) for Rebel Alliance.
