Star Wars: Battlefront II

Star Wars: Battlefront II is the sequel to Star Wars: Battlefront, the best-selling Star Wars game of all time.

It was released on November 1st, 2005, for the PC, Xbox, PSP, and PlayStation 2.

New features

 * Revamped single-player experience includes smarter AI enemies and allies, plus a greater emphasis on story told through open-ended mission-based objectives.
 * New space battles that allow you to dogfight in X-wings, TIE fighters, Jedi interceptors, as well as several other starfighters, or fight it out on foot aboard an enemy capital ship.
 * Special opportunities throughout the game for players to wield a lightsaber and use their favorite Force powers as a certain Jedi, depending on the battlefront.
 * More than 12 new battlefronts on land and in space, including many from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith such as Utapau, Mustafar, and the space battle above Coruscant, as well as all-new classic trilogy locations (including the Death Star interior and the fight aboard the Tantive IV, Princess Leia Organa’s blockade runner seen at the beginning of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope).
 * Three new classes: the Engineer, Marine (space only), and one other special class that varies depending on your side.
 * Wi-Fi (wireless) compatible, up to 4 players wireless multiplay (PSP).
 * Online multiplayer action for up to 24 players on PS2, up to 32 on Xbox or up to 64 on Windows (plus AI units).
 * Engineer/Pilot units 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. When playing multiplayer mode, you will need to slice the vehicle to 100% twice against human players.
 * Players will be able to change the reinforcement count in Instant Action from 15 for quick skirmishes and up to 750 each team for epic battles.

Inconsistencies with main Star Wars Canon

 * The TX-130T fighter tank has the insignia of the Galactic Republic rather than that of the Galactic Empire.
 * Imperial Star Destroyers have a hangar on their side rather than on the bottom of the cruiser.
 * TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors shoot missiles.
 * A-Wings, TIE Interceptors, and Dark Troopers are present during early campaigns in the Galactic Civil War.
 * All of the Confederacy vehicles and starfighters (except the AAT) are vehicles to be piloted as opposed to self-sufficient robots.
 * In the Kamino Uprising level, one of the turrets on the boarding LAAT gunship is manned by a clone trooper with Phase II 501st Legion markings, rather than the Phase I appearance for the Anti-Imperial Troopers.
 * The hilts of lightsabers for numerous characters (including Dooku and Yoda) do not accurately reflect the hilts of the films.
 * Even in missions prior to Darth Vader's creation (i.e. Clone Wars), his breathing can be heard in the Dark Side Cave on Dagobah.
 * In the Kamino Uprising, Boba Fett makes a reference to hunting down Han Solo, which is inconsistent with the time period. This could be explained away by claiming he referred to another smuggler.
 * Darth Maul Commands the Confederate Army against the Republic, even though he died before the republic had found out about the Clone Army

Campaign mode
In the game, you will play as a clone trooper or stormtrooper, depending on the era, in the 501st Legion.

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 (a training level), 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
See also: Journal of the 501st.

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 separatist 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...

Missions (Republic)

 * Part 1: Geonosis&mdash;Attack of the Clones (Training)


 * Part 2: Mygeeto&mdash;Amongst the Ruins


 * Part 3: Coruscant Space&mdash;A Desperate Rescue


 * Part 4: Felucia&mdash;Heart of Darkness


 * Part 5: Kashyyyk Space&mdash;First Line of Defense


 * Part 6: Kashyyyk&mdash;A Line in the Sand


 * Part 7: Utapau&mdash;Underground Ambush


 * Part 8: Coruscant&mdash;Knightfall

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; utterly crushing them beneath an iron fist...

Missions (Empire)

 * Part 1: Naboo&mdash;Imperial Diplomacy


 * Part 2: Mustafar Space&mdash;Preventive Measures
 * Part 3: Mustafar&mdash;Tying up Loose Ends


 * Part 4: Kamino&mdash;Changing of the Guard


 * Part 5: Death Star&mdash;Prison Break


 * Part 6: Polis Massa&mdash;Birth of the Rebellion


 * Part 7: Tantive IV&mdash;Recovering the Plans


 * Part 8: Yavin 4 Space&mdash;Vader's Fist Strikes Back
 * Part 9: Yavin 4&mdash;Revenge of the Empire
 * Part 10: Hoth&mdash;Our Finest Hour

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 Delso has reactivated the droid control beacon on Mustafar, and the 501st must first fight in high orbit above the planet, then land on the fiery world, shut down the droids, eliminate Gizor, then destroy the old CIS refinery via a massive orbital 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.

Galactic conquest
It seems now you can teach an old game mode new tricks with SWBFII's enhanced Galactic Conquest mode.

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 either battle in space (if there is an enemy capital ship in orbit) or battle on the planet to secure it if there is no cruiser. If you cross paths with an enemy starship over a white orb, you will battle in space with no planet nearby. Based on your results, you get credits which can be used on three things&mdash;recruiting units, purchasing bonuses, and buying fleets.

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.

New modes
In addition to the single player storyline and multiplayer mode, Battlefront II has several different game modes, all of which can be accessed on the “Instant Action” menu.

Hunt Mode
In Star Wars Battlefront II, there is a mode in which players hunt down the indigenous species of the planet, or play as the natives and strike back against the Hunters.


 * Geonosians (sonic blasters) vs. clone sharpshooters (sniper rifles, blaster pistols, thermal detonators, auto turrets)&mdash;Geonosis
 * Ewoks (rocks, spears) vs. scout troopers (sniper rifles, blaster pistols, thermal detonators, auto turrets)&mdash;Endor
 * Wookiees (bowcasters, fusion cutters, grenades) vs. IG-100 MagnaGuards (Bulldog rocket launchers, neuro poison, radiation launchers, recon droids)&mdash;Kashyyyk
 * Wampas (claws) vs. Rebels (All Types)&mdash;Hoth
 * Jawas (ARC caster) vs. Tusken Raiders (sniper rifles or blaster rifles)&mdash;Mos Eisley
 * Gungans (boomer grenades, fusioncutters) vs. super battle droids (wrist blasters, tri-shots, wrist rockets)&mdash;Naboo

NOTE: The Jedi Temple hunt mode is called "Knightfall" and is only available in story mode. In this level, the Jedi are non-playable. However, there is a mod availible to change the CTF mode on Coruscant to be Jedi vs. Clones instead of CIS vs. Clones.

Capture the Flag
This mode can be played on every map. Each map has either 1-flag CTF or 2-flag CTF. In 1-flag CTF, a neutral flag is placed approximately halfway between each faction's bases. The objective is to capture the flag and bring it to the opposite faction's base. The other CTF mode, 2-flag CTF, resembles traditional Capture the Flag. It involves two factions, which each hold a flag at their respective bases. The player must steal the flag from the enemy's base, and return it to their base. The team that either captures the set amount of flags first or has the most flags when the time limit expires wins. You cannot take a flag from inside a vehicle (excluding starfighters in space), but you can take the flag and then jump into a vehicle and keep the flag. In addition, flight (Force jumping or jetpacks) cannot be used while holding the flag.

Hero assault mode
This mode, taking place on the Mos Eisley map (as well as Naboo,Kashyyyk, Rhen Var, Yavin, Bespin, Mygeeto and Coruscant, see XBL Patch section), pits multiple copies of the playable Heroes (Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Leia Organa, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Yoda, Ki-Adi Mundi, Kit Fisto and Aayla Secura) against multiple copies of the playable Villains (Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Anakin Skywalker, Asajj Ventress, Jango Fett, Boba Fett, and General Grievous).

Infantry class
The Infantry Class, or simply Soldier Class, was the division of standard ground assault fighters in most armies. It consisted of warriors, who battled enemy troopers, usually with blaster weapons, but most soldiers also carried thermal detonators. Infantrymen fought in the heart of the battlefield and courageously faced their enemies head-on.

The most famous infantry soldiers were the stormtroopers of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps, clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, B-2 battle droids of the Droid Army, and the Rebel soldiers under the Alliance to Restore the Republic.


 * Clone Trooper (Galactic Republic) (Blaster Rifle/Elite Rifle [earned reward], Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator)
 * Super Battle Droid (Confederacy of Independent Systems) (Wrist Blaster, Tri-Shot, Wrist Rocket)
 * Rebel Soldier (Rebel Alliance) (Blaster Rifle, Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator)
 * Stormtrooper (Galactic Empire) (Blaster Rifle, Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator)

Heavy trooper class

 * Clone Heavy Trooper (Galactic Republic) (Rocket Launcher, Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator, Mines)
 * Assault Droid (Confederacy of Independent Systems) (Rocket Launcher, Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator, Mines)
 * Rebel Vanguard (Rebel Alliance) (Rocket Launcher, Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator, Mines)
 * Shock Trooper (Galactic Empire) (Rocket Launcher, Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator, Mines)

Engineer class
The engineer class was a common division in most armies. It consisted of engineers (or technicians) who carried handheld blast cannons (shotguns) and explosive detpacks, but did not usually take part in the main battle.

Engineers were usually on the side lines dispensing miniature bacta tanks to wounded men and ammo canisters. Also, the engineers went around fixing allied vehicles or sabotaging enemy ones with their multi-purpose fusion cutters.

Of course, all technicians were trained ground assault vehicle pilots, as well. They could also activate detpacks at certain locations and manually detonate them at will.

The most famous engineers were the Imperial gunners of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps, Clone Engineers of the Grand Army of the Republic, Pilot Battle Droids of Droid Army, and the Rebel smugglers under the Alliance to Restore the Republic.


 * Clone Engineer (Galactic Republic) (Shotgun/Flechette Shotgun[earned reward], Fusion Cutter, Detpack)
 * Engineer Droid (Confederacy of Independent Systems) (Shotgun, Fusion Cutter, Detpack)
 * Rebel Smuggler (Rebel Alliance) (Shotgun, Fusion Cutter, Detpack, Dispenser Health and Ammo)
 * Imperial Engineer (Galactic Empire) (Blast Cannon, Fusion Cutter, Detpack, Dispenser and Health and Ammo)

Sniper class
The sniper class was a typical soldier division in most armies. It consisted of snipers (also called marksmen, sharpshooters, and sometimes even assassins) who picked off enemy troopers one-by-one with highly powered long-range rifles. Often, snipers could be set away from the center of battle where they could quietly eliminate foes and not be in danger of harm.

Snipers used magnifying scopes to target enemies and these assassins were frequently used to wipe out commanders and high-ranking officers or as backup for offensive vanguard soldiers.

The most famous snipers were the Scout Troopers of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps, Clone assassins of the Grand Army of the Republic, and Battle Droid Assassins of the Droid Army.


 * Clone Sharpshooter (Galactic Republic) (Sniper Rifle/Particle Beam Rifle [earned reward], Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator, Auto Turret)
 * Assassin Droid (Confederacy of Independent Systems) (Sniper Rifle, Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator, Auto Turret)
 * Rebel Marksman (Rebel Alliance) (Sniper Rifle, Blaster Pistol, Thermal Detonator, Auto Turret)
 * Scout Trooper (Galactic Empire) (Sniper Rifle, Blaster pistol, thermal detonators, Auto Turret)

Unique class

 * Jet Trooper (Galactic Republic) (EMP Launcher, Commando Pistol, Thermal Detonator)
 * Droideka (Confederacy of Independent Systems) (Repeating Blasters, Shield Emitter)
 * Wookiee Warrior (Rebel Alliance) (Bowcaster, Grenade Launcher, Thermal Detonator, Recon Droid)
 * Dark Trooper (Galactic Empire) (ARC Caster, Commando Pistol, Thermal Detonator)

Commander class

 * Clone Commander (Galactic Republic) (Chaingun, Blaster Pistol, Rally {Defense Increase}, Recon Droid)
 * IG-100 MagnaGuard (Confederacy of Independent Systems) ("Bulldog" Rocket Launching Rifle, Radiation Launcher, Neuro Poison, Recon Droid)
 * Bothan Spy (Rebel Alliance) (Incinerator Rifle, Health Regeneration, Stealth Ability, Time Bomb)
 * Imperial Officer (Galactic Empire) (Sonic Blaster, Mortar Launcher, Rage {Damage Increase}, Recon Droid)

Pilot class
The pilot class was a common division in most armies. It consisted of pilots who were equipped with commando pistols, fusioncutters, and time bombs. Pilots referred to space-assault vehicle drivers, rather than the ground-assault vehicle drivers of the engineer class.

Like engineers, pilots could repair or sabotage vehicles as well as shields and engine systems that had not already been totally demolished.

The pilot class included:


 * Clone Pilots (Galactic Republic) (Commando Pistol, Fusion Cutter, Time Bomb)
 * Pilot Droids (Confederacy of Independent Systems) (Commando Pistol, Fusion Cutter, Time Bomb)
 * Rebel Pilots (Rebel Alliance) (Commando Pistol, Fusion Cutter, Time Bomb)
 * Imperial Pilots (Galactic Empire) (Commando Pistol, Fusion Cutter, Time Bomb)

Marine class
The marine class was a standard division of troops in most navies. It consisted of marines who often were armed with portable rocket launchers for demolishing enemy ships, as well as regular blaster rifles and thermal detonators.

This Navy branch was mainly a defensive guard for capital ships. However, they, like pilots, could take control of a starship cockpit and thus fight in space, but under command of a navy rather than an army.

The marine class included:


 * Clone Marines (Galactic Republic) (Blaster Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Thermal Detonator)
 * Droid Marines (Confederacy of Independent Systems) (Blaster Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Thermal Detonator)
 * Alliance Marines (Rebel Alliance) (Blaster Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Thermal Detonator)
 * Imperial Marines (Galactic Empire) (Blaster Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Thermal Detonator)

Heroes
After fulfilling the goals set in the Hero Options screen (e.g. earn 10 points), 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. The Force-Sensitive characters also each get two of seven special techniques. They are Force Pull (Only Jedi), Force Push, Force Choke (Only Sith), Force Lightning (Only Sith), Saber Throw, Force Water Orb (Only Kit Fisto), and Starblades (Only Asajj Ventress).

Neutral sides/creatures


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. In addition, there are native creatures that will attack anything that comes across their path.

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.


 * Acklay&mdash;Felucia (A)
 * Ewok&mdash;Endor (RA)

Capital ships
In space combat, each faction will have capital ships. The capital ships (battleships) contain all starfighters and rooms, while the others attack nearby enemies and provide defense/fire support. Both must be destroyed or sabotaged to win the match. The frigates are not boardable.

Galactic Republic

 * Battleship: Venator-class Star Destroyers
 * Frigate: Acclamator-class assault ships
 * Frigate (seen in background): Victory II-class frigate

Confederacy of Independent Systems

 * Battleship: Providence-class carrier/destroyers
 * Frigate: Munificent-class star frigates
 * Frigate: "Lucrehulk"-class battleship (seen in background)

Galactic Empire

 * Battleship: Imperial-class Star Destroyers
 * Frigate: Victory II-class frigates

Rebel Alliance

 * Battleship: Mon Calamari cruisers
 * Frigate: CR-90 Corellian corvettes
 * Frigate: GR-75 medium transport

Starfighters
Controls for the PC are more akin to that of Rogue Squadron than that of the X-wing game series. The controls for all other versions remain the same.

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.

Speed: Low / Armor: High / Power: Very High / Manuverablity: Low.
 * Bombers are used to take out transports, shields, and ship main systems outside the capital ships.

Speed: Average / Armor: Average / Power: Average / Manuverablity: Average.
 * Fighters are all-around ships that can basically do anything. But these starfighters cannot do these objectives as effieciently as other specified ships. These ships hold lock on torpedoes.

Speed: High / Armor: Low / Power: Low / Manuverability: High.
 * Interceptors are high-speed fighters used to take out individual starfighters. Although these ships can take out starfighters with ease, these are low in power and armor. The torpedoes these ships hold are weak individually, but can pack power when shot in a group.

Speed: Very Low / Armor: Very High / Power: High / Manuverability: Very Low.
 * Transports are extremely high in defense, higher than an average starfighter. Although the slowest and least manuverable starfighter, it has a lot of power. These ships also have multiple positions, up to six, including main gunner, second gunner, and passengers.

Planetary vehicles
Confederacy of Independent Systems:
 * STAP
 * AAT
 * Tank Droid
 * Hailfire Droid
 * Spider Walker

Galactic Republic:
 * BARC speeder
 * TX-130S fighter tank
 * AT-RT
 * AT-TE

Galactic Empire:
 * Speeder Bike
 * Saber-class fighter tank
 * AT-ST
 * AT-AT

Rebel Alliance:
 * Speeder Bike
 * Snowspeeder
 * Tauntaun
 * AAC-1 Hovertank

Critical hit locations
All vehicles have a critical hit point that, when struck with an explosive round, depletes 70% of their health. The critical hit point is hard to see and even harder to hit.


 * AAC-1 Hovertank: Black coolant tanks on sides of tank(on PC there's none)
 * TX-130S Fighter Tank and TX-130T Fighter Tank: Circle at rear of tanks
 * AT-TE: Cylindrical area along the underbelly
 * AT-AT: Neck between body and head
 * AAT: Rear panel
 * Droid Tank: Rear tread cylinder
 * Hailfire Droid: Cylinders below cockpit
 * AT-RT: Cylinder between legs or pilot
 * Homing Spider Droid: Where the legs connect to the body
 * AT-ST: Rear block between legs
 * LAAT/i Gunship: Cockpit
 * Theta-class shuttle: Lower neck
 * Droid Transport: Rear panel


 * If you were to hit close to the critical hit location on a vehicle, you would do twice as much damage as a rocket launcher would regularly do (about 25-30%).

Battlefronts
In Battlefront II, there are no two maps that take place on the same planet, 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 Mustafar 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. The Geonosis, Death Star, Utapau, Jedi Temple, Kamino, Felucia and all but three of the space maps (Kashyykk, Yavin IV and open space) are not present in the PSP version of the game. Geonosis Hoth

Xbox Cheats
While paused in an offline game, hold the left trigger and enter these codes into the Directional Pad (Remember: Sometimes if the left and right D-Pad buttons are pressed on an angle, they perform the up and down input. To ensure that you pressed the buttons correctly, you will not hear any sounds as you would with up and down). If the code is entered correctly, you will hear a noise similar to that which is made when you pause the game. These codes need to be re-entered every time you shut down the console.


 * Invincibility - U, U, U, L, D, D, D, L, U, U, U, L, R
 * Infinite Ammunition - U, D, L, D, D, L, D, D, L, D, D, D, L, R
 * No HUD - U, U, U, U, L, U, U, D, L, D, U, U, L, R (Note: This code may need to be entered a few times in order to work).

Have You Ever Noticed?

 * The angle of blaster fire on the cover of Battlefront and Battlefront II is exactly the same.
