DESCRIPTION

Imperial soldiers and Rebel insurgents are called back to duty in Star Wars: Battlefront II, a multiplayer-oriented sequel shooter based on the famous movie series. Like the original Battlefront, scenes are set in environments familiar from the films. For example, mission maps in the sequel have players fighting on the swamp planet of Dagobah, as seen in Empire Strikes Back, or defending Princess Leia's diplomatic blockade runner, as in the opening scene of the original A New Hope.

While designed to retain the features that helped make the original Battlefront the best-selling Star Wars game to date (at the time of Battlefront II's release), the sequel's technological refinements allow for new gameplay elements as well. With seamless transitions across an entire mission map, players could now begin a confrontation on their own capital ship, board a fighter to engage the enemy in a dogfight, then land on the enemy's capital ship and disembark for an assault raid, all in a single battle.

In response to fan requests, playable Jedi characters are introduced by the sequel, allowing gamers to take control of heroes such as Yoda, Grievous, or even the Emperor himself. To keep the battles balanced, players can only play as these hero characters for a limited time, and may temporarily lose access to them if they are not used to their potential in battle. Once again, the single-player game centers on a "Galactic Conquest" mode, but map-specific objectives add new tactical elements. Online multiplayer modes support as many as 64 in the PC version of the game. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“I'm that ship slightly to the left of the center of the screen. All those blue lines? Heat-seeking missiles I managed to barely dodge. Fucking love this game.”

“I think I might actually have this game on PC, let me check.

Oh wait, I have the first one of the Xbox, something tells me people don't play that anymore, haha.”

“I'd be surprised if people even played the second one still. But I love it.

BTW I'm working on the first actual episode of that LP/fan-fic as we speak, so it'll be up shortly. Just been really busy lately with crap.”

“@Xazzi
The battlefront series is just pure awesomeness. You should pick them up. Don't expect much of a story though. They count on you having seen the movies already.
@rgoff31
Yeah I wish they would hurry up and release BFIII as well.

“If you'd press "No", the game should check again and work anyway. :)

It's like an adventure game where you try to do something and your character says it isn't a good idea. If you don't give up and just try again, he'll say it really isn't a good idea. If you try a third game, he gives in, does it, and you advanced the game one more "puzzle". Hmmm, what game do I remember that from anyway... Monkey Island or something else LucasArts I think.”

BOOM!

“@moranga

It's even more fun when you have mods and such. New maps, new weapons, etc etc, free camera, Battlefront 1 maps (legal too, because they don't use assets from the game). The 1.3 patch is unofficial but has some of the best support I've ever heard of. ”
