For tropes on the 2017 game which has the same name, go here.Star Wars: Battlefront II is a 2005 Star Wars Legends team first- and third-person shooter video game developed by Pandemic Studios and published by LucasArts. It is a sequel to 2004's Star Wars: Battlefront and the second game in the Battlefront series. The game was released in PAL regions on October 31, 2005 on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox platforms, and in North America on November 1 of the same year. It was later updated to be backwards compatible for the Xbox 360. It was also released on the PlayStation Store on October 20, 2009 for download on the PSP.The game features new vehicles, characters, game mechanics, maps, and missions compared to the original Battlefront. Since it was released just a few months after Revenge of the Sith (which hadn't yet been released when the first game came out), it notably goes out of its way to incorporate new locations introduced in that film—even Felucia and Mygeeto which only appear fleetingly. The campaign also ties directly into the film's plot, picking up shortly after the Battle of Geonosis and continuing through Order 66 and beyond.Unlike its predecessor, Battlefront II features a more narrative-based campaign, retelling portions of the Star Wars story from the point of view of a veteran Imperial stormtrooper, reminiscing about his tour of duty in service of both the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire, going from the first battle on Geonosis (which is the tutorial) to the defeat of the Rebellion on Hoth. Gameplay additions over Battlefront include playable heroes, additional game modes, and objective-based space battles. | |

Video-Game Flamethrowers Suck | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_10c393f5 | comment |
Video Game Flamethrowers Suck: Downplayed. Flamethrowers in this game have the same range problems as most videogame flamethrowers, perhaps even more so since they're barely more than melee-ranged, but everyone who can use one has a way to mitigate the short range (Bothans turn invisible, Boba and Jango have jet packs), and they actually do a horrific amount of damage (one complete burn from ambush is likely to kill whoever you're shooting at as a Bothan, the Fetts do a bit less damage but can hit multiple people and leave them burning). | |

Selective Gravity | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_1119e037 | comment |
Selective Gravity: In space battles, bombs fall "down" relative to the rest of the stage. This would be expected when the battle is over a planet, but otherwise Relativity would dictate that the bombs fall "down" relative to the ship launching them. This can be frustrating when you're trying to destroy a target on the underside of a capital ship, as you can't hit it on a regular bombing run without getting dangerously close. Fortunately, the life support system is the only such target, and it can be much more easily destroyed by a TIE fighter or X-wing's torpedoes, or even by landing in the enemy ship and sticking a couple of time bombs on it. | |

Canon Foreigner | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: The Rebels' AAC-1 Speeder Tank (replacing the combat speeder from the first game, which was basically an altered Gian Speeder) is the only vehicle in the game to not have a prior basis in either the films, the first game or the rest of the Legends expanded universe, existing mainly to give the Rebels a tank. This game and the PSP sequels are the only games in the Legends continuity to feature this vehicle (and other Legends works came up with Rebel tanks of their own). | |

Gatling Good: The Clone Commander carries a chaingun blaster, which has a Bottomless Magazine, but instead uses heat buildup to limit firing. It later makes a cameo in the Clone Wars cartoon. Certain vehicles have similar weapons, labeled as "repeating blasters" by the game, such as the Droid Tri-Fighter's main gun, the Hailfire Droid's chin gun, and the AT-TE's rear cannons. | |

Boss Battle | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_1e14ea2a | comment |
Boss Battle: The campaign has a few, though given the fast-paced nature of the missions, they act more like overpowered Elite Mooks. Utapau has General Grievous himself. The 501st (or Obi-Wan) make surprisingly quick work of him. Coruscant has the Jedi Masters, wielding dual, or double-bladed lightsabers. Naboo has the new Queen, flanked by a bunch of Jedi. Mustafar has Gizor Delso, a Geonosian Confederacy revivalist. The Death Star has an unnamed Rebel leader, another Jedi. The Tantive IV has Princess Leia herself. Yavin 4 has the Rebel commanders, all of whom are Bothan spies. | |

Discard and Draw | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_1f39b662 | comment |
Discard and Draw: The award weapons, which replace their regular counterparts (save for the heavy weapons class's Remote Rockets, which occupy their own weapon slot), tend to have better power offset by various drawbacks: The Precision Pistol has pinpoint accuracy and fires as quickly as you can pull the trigger, but has limited ammo and clip size, as opposed to the regular pistol having infinite ammo and overheating. The Elite Rifle fires a tight three-shot burst and does not lose accuracy from sustained fire, but has a longer delay between bursts than the regular rifle has between shots. It also has less ammo and a smaller clip size. The Flechette Shotgun has more ammo, a larger clip size, and more "pellets" per shot, but a slower fire rate. The Beam Rifle fires a beam that lingers for a second to deal continuous damage, netting more damage per shot than the regular Sniper Rifle, and can overpenetrate targets. However, it has less ammo, a smaller clip, slower fire rate, lower range, a longer reload, and cannot score headshots. | |

Punch-Clock Villain | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_20860a0e | comment |
Punch-Clock Villain: While whether or not the entirety of the 501st qualifies, the narrator at the very least does, as he clearly has misgivings about Order 66, but has no choice but to follow Sidious' orders. On the other hand, he (and the rest of the 501st according to his narration) fully believes that the Empire is the best for the galaxy and hunts down the Rebellion with a vengeance. | |

Balance, Power, Skill, Gimmick: The four starship types. Multi-purpose fighters (can both dogfight and launch bombing runs, but are less effective than specialized ships), bombers (have the heaviest firepower and durability and can deal high damage against capital ships, but are slow and sluggish), interceptors (fast, agile, and deadly against fighters, but are very fragile, relying on maneuverability to survive, and deal little damage to capital ships), and Landers (a mobile command post intended for landing in the enemy hangar to raid the ship) respectively. | |

Palette Swap | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: Both the Republic and the Empire use the TX-130 hovertank, with the Imperial variant being blue-grey instead of red and white. The Rebels' transport in space battles is very obviously a Republic-era LAAT with a red starbird painted on the side. Presumably this is the result of Vehicular Turnabout in-universe. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: You can play as an unburned, Empire-aligned Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar and fight the Rebels. In Jabba's Palace, Han Solo's carbonite slab will be there regardless of the era you are playing on. The skies above Coruscant will be filled with Clone Wars-era transports and vulture droids even if you're playing during the Galactic Civil War. Exaggerated on the Death Star, which not only shouldn't exist during the Clone Wars but has racks full of TIE Fighters inside its hangars. It's implied that this is an Alternate Continuity, as it has Emperor Palpatine leading battle droids against Obi-Wan and an army of Jedi-aligned clones. Exaggerated with the Mos Eisley Assault mode, where all the series' iconic heroes and villains clash in an ultimate duel of fates. You can even get duplicate instances of the same character playing simultaneously. Averted on Dagobah, where Luke's crashed X-Wing can be found in the middle of the map. If you play this map in the Clone Wars era, it's replaced by a crashed LAAT Gunship. Averted, probably by dumb luck, with Darth Maul, who fights for the CIS in the Clone Wars despite his apparent death in The Phantom Menace, 10 years before the Clone Wars began. The Clone Wars series would later establish that he canonically survived. Subverted with Jango Fett, as while he did participate in the Clone Wars to some degree, he was killed in the very first battle of the war before his clones even took part in it. | |

Trap Door | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_27fdc960 | comment |
Trap Door: The trap door in front of Jabba the Hutt's throne is faithfully reproduced in the "Jabba's Lair" map and stepping on it it will dump you into the Rancor pit. Which, if you're careful enough, also contains a handy short cut to the lower levels. It's worth noting though, that the rancor doesn't actually move, and won't kill you unless you walk up to it like a moron. It's perfectly possible to leave just by walking around the darned thing. | |

Power Floats | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_287083f7 | comment |
Power Floats: When sprinting, Darth Vader will glide across the ground rather than performing the huge, bounding sprint that other heroes tend to perform. Likewise, instead of having the extra midair jumps that most Jedi do, he can instead hover around in the air if he jumps again while airborne. Palpatine, whether sprinting or not, does this constantly. His feet almost never touch the ground. | |

Beam Spam | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_2a542c7d | comment |
Beam Spam: The purpose of Auto-Turrets, mounted on capital ships and frigates, is to provide screening fire that will cut down any fighters or transports that come too close. A decent pilot can usually get through them, but it's generally best to take out the frigates from afar before bringing an interceptor into the fray. Furthermore, the Auto-Turrets are controlled by a mainframe inside the enemy ship that can be destroyed to disable them entirely. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The award sniper rifle is shorter-ranged and has wonky hit detection that makes headshots all but impossible, while the chaingun is slow to start firing and is horribly inaccurate. But the sniper is a One-Hit Kill anywhere on the body and can skewer enemies, and the chaingun rips even a shielded droideka to shreds in seconds. The Marine in Space battles. While he has both the Assault's blaster rifle and the Heavy Trooper's rocket launcher, making him much better in a direct firefight than the Pilot, his rocket launcher can't do as much damage to the ship's core systems as a pilot's time bombs, and he lacks the ability to repair a vehicle while inside it, ultimately meaning that, unless you plan to attack enemy pilots before they can get into their ships, there's almost no point in using one over the Pilot (and even then, the Pilot gets access to the Precision Pistol if you have it unlocked, letting them keep up with the Marine in firepower). | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: Interceptor-class starfighters have very powerful weaponry adept at easily taking out other starfighters. However, they also have the most fragile armor of all starfighter classes and are easily destroyed - even a single hit from a capital ship's auto-defenses will instantly destroy an interceptor. Snowspeeders on Hoth are fast and maneuverable, capable of blasting groups of Imperial troops and even tangling up the formidable AT-ATs; however, they're also incredibly fragile and even a single hit from a Shock Trooper or an AT-AT will typically shoot them down. Magnaguards have two particularly devastating weapons that can tear up infantry and vehicles alike, but suffer from low ammo, slow reload times, and being very fragile. Bothan Spies can very quickly take down enemies with their incinerators, but their low health makes them easy pickings for Snipers and Dark Troopers. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: CTF on Mos Eisley has one where Jawas are capable of picking up flags. Jawas are set to be allied for both sides in order to penalize collateral damage, meaning that if you play with friendly fire off and a Jawa picks up a flag, no one's getting it until the Jawa randomly runs into the flag capture point. The Steam version has a nasty, very common one that causes a crash to desktop when a map is being loaded. This can be prevented by either playing the game with a plugged in mic, or by going into the control panel under Sound>Record and enabling the Stereo Mix, which defaults to disabled. If you have the award pistol unlocked permanently and you play as Han then switch to his fusion cutter, you can't switch back to his special blaster. There's no workaround around it unless you steal a vehicle, kill yourself or let the timer run out. Sometimes, the Dagobah map will cut to black screen after the battle is over, but not crash. If this happens, the only choice is to reinstall the game or live with the Empire and Republic Galactic Conquest campaigns being Unwinnable. The actual campaign in turn can be rendered unwinnable by running the game on Windows 7, which for some reason will cause Princess Leia to fail to spawn properly in the Tantive IV mission. Fixed by the unofficial r129 patch. | |

Ground Pound | |

Ground Pound: Unlike other Jedi, Mace Windu's airborne attack has him slamming the ground to create a powerful shockwave that sends enemies flying. Palpatine has a similar move that creates a burst of lightning, usually outright killing people around him. | |

Rubber-Band A.I. | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_34439d52 | comment |
Rubber-Band A.I.: In space battles, enemy fighters are more likely to spawn close to the player to ensure they don't get spread out too thin across the map. This means, paradoxically, that hanging back and defending your capital ship and frigates actually makes them more likely to get damaged since that's where the fighters will be concentrated. | |

Big Badass Battle Sequence | |

Big Badass Battle Sequence: In many ways, the entire point of the game. In the PC version, there's an "XL" gamemode, which is like Conquest except with even more people on the field at once, and you can't capture command posts. It's only available on maps based on the biggest battles of the series, such as Geonosis, Hoth, and Kashyyyk. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The Garrison bonus. All it does is add another 50% to your remaining units when your current stock gets too low. But since depleting the enemy's troops is how you win most of the time, the extra troops act as a faction-wide Heart Container, often forcing your opponent to go through the much more arduous task to capturing every single command post... which all your extra troops will be pouring out of as spawn points become more limited. The Supply bonus is also helpful in space battles, as it not only increases the stock of secondary weapons on your ships, but it also means that saboteurs can cause more damage to the inside of the enemy's flagship before backing up to a gonk droid to restock. This can mean the difference between taking out just their shields, and taking out shields and life support or engines within minutes of each other. The basic trooper for each faction. Most of the fighting in the game involves shooting infantry, and all the basic troopers feature blaster rifles designed just for that, featuring high magazines and fast fire. Boba Fett's weapons are fairly weak, meaning he can't take on entire squads of soldiers like other Hero units can. However, what he lacks in raw firepower, he more than makes up for in his traversal ability via his jetpack. Boba can cross the entire map in seconds, giving him the ability to take over command posts at a rate the enemy simply can't keep up with. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: From a story perspective, the 501st utterly eviscerate the Rebels on Yavin 4note particularly notable since they have been reduced to a pair of Star Destroyers against the entire Rebel armada and Hoth. Hunt Mode typically results in this due to one side being more powerful than the other. With one exception, it's usually the "underdog" native species doing the stomping. The Ewoks, with their natural camouflage, smaller hitbox, and powerful weapons like rocks and spears, will often overwhelm the garish Scout Troopers tasked with taking them down. Savage Tuskens with powerful rifles against cowardly Jawas with ARC emitters? The Tuskens never stood a chance. Rebels on Hoth with repeating cannons and turrets against a swarm of Wampas with powerful claws and tough skin. The Wampas typically mop the floor with the Rebels. The exception to the rule. Super Battle Droids with repeating blasters, a tri-shot, and wrist-mounted rocket launchers against grenade-throwing Gungans who all sound like Jar Jar? Those poor gungans... | |

The frigates and corvettes in space battles. You would expect them to function as extra spawn points, or perhaps to carry different ships in them, but their only armament is an array of turrets that are meant to defend themselves and their capital ships from enemy bombers, and they don't even do that very well. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Noticeably subverted in that the last mission in the single-player campaign is the Battle of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back, which the Empire wins triumphantly and with the narrator believing that the Rebellion had been completely crushed. The Battle of Endor, the end to the movie series, isn't mentioned at all. According to the old Expanded Universe, this is because the 501st didn't participate in the Battle of Endor. They were rewarded with an indefinite leave of absence, but after the destruction of Death Star II, they volunteered for duty again. With the squabbling of several warlords and the like, the BF2 501st was dissolved and its units were sent to different battalions, but Grand Admiral Thrawn reconstituted the 501st when he gained control of the Empire. The newly reformed 501st allowed non-humans and females to join in, and they survived until at least 138 ABY. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Due to coming out fairly soon after Revenge of the Sith and before The Clone Wars and other works really fleshed out the era, there are some oddities in the game: The Republic's bomber is the V-Wing, which in both Disney canon and Legends was a nimble interceptor like the A-Wing, and couldn't even carry bombs. Just three years later, the Clone Wars TV series would introduce the Republic's designated bomber - the Y-Wing, back when it was shiny and new. Likewise, the CIS's bomber (dubbed in-game as the CIS Strike Bomber) is a Belbullab-22 starfighter, which was not only a heavy starfighter in most other adaptations, but was almost-exclusively seen being used by General Grievous. In later works from The Clone Wars onward, the Separatists' designated bomber would be the Hyena Droid Bombers. Both this and the previous example would be rectified by both the 2017 game) and a fan-made remaster of this game that replaces the respective bombers. The game presents Order 66 as something the clones already knew about and made the decision to go along with, however reluctantly. It would eventually be revealed as one of several contingency orders implanted in their heads that they didn't know about and had no control over. | |

Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Almost everyone with a lightsaber (except Count Dooku, the Emperor, Yodanote rather ironic given that Yoda was one of the few characters seen throwing his lightsaber as an attack in the movies, and General Grievous) have the Saber Throw ability, letting them attack from afar. It's fairly powerful due to the wide range of the thrown saber, being able to One-Hit Kill most infantry, and generally being safer than charging at a bunch of people with guns. | |

What Measure Is a Mook?: Subverted with the campaign. The destruction of the Death Star is described in the campaign. The people who replaced the 501st are described as "poor souls" and the premise of the last three or four missions is to wipe out every single Rebel who had the slightest bit of involvement in it. When you win the battle on Yavin 4 and destroy the Rebel leaders, when the officer commanding you says "Well done. The spirits of our fallen brothers will sleep soundly tonight." | |

Fragile Speedster: The interceptor-class starfighters are the most quick and agile of the starfighter classes, but their great speed comes at the cost of having the weakest armor, rendering them quickly destroyed if hit by enemy fire. Jet Troopers and Dark Troopers can maneuver easily through battles with their jet packs to reposition and avoid enemy fire, but have noticeably low health. | |

Disney Villain Death: An all-too-common fate on the Death Star, which has bottomless pits all over the place and hardly any guardrails. Additionally, the battlefields on Mygeeto and Utapau are located atop a mountain and on the side of a sinkhole, respectively, and it's entirely possible to fall or drive off the platform to your demise. With Force Push being a usable Force power by certain heroes, the applications in these maps are obvious. | |

The Smurfette Principle | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_5d753b19 | comment |
The Smurfette Principle: The Rebels and Republic each have only one female hero, namely Princess Leia and Aayla Secura respectively, while the Empire and CIS have only male heroes. Heroes aside, there is exactly one female soldier in the game: the Rebel sniper. And she's not even present on all maps; some, such as the Death Star or Tantive IV, replace her with another male. In space battles, a female pilot can occasionally be heard over the Rebels' radio chatter, but playable Rebel pilots only spawn as male. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Enemy fighters in space battles can turn on a dime (which becomes particularly absurd with gunships pulling maneuvers that should be patently impossible) and seem to have a 180-degree firing arc for all of their weapons, including bombs and lock-on missiles, meaning they can hit you even if they're barely pointing in your direction. Of course, players usually fly chaotically enough that they'd be impossible to hit otherwise. AI-controlled Engineers can slice into vehicles from long range with their Fusion Cutters, whereas players have to get up into melee range to do the same. Fortunately, the AI rarely has the attention span to actually slice a vehicle successfully. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The first mission in the Single-Player campaign involves the 501st stealing a power source for the Death Star without alerting Ki-Adi-Mundi. The player can (and likely will) complete these objectives as Ki-Adi-Mundi. Of course, this could be explained away in that Ki-Adi didn't know what he was stealing would be used for. The cutscene after the Utapau mission specifically mentions and shows General Kenobi defeating General Grievous, even though in gameplay, Kenobi can be defeated either by Grievous himself or before Grievous even enters the battlefield. The player is obviously supposed to be the one unnamed Veteran character narrating the journal, but dying mid-battle and respawning, even as a completely different class, in different armor is still possible, with absolutely zero mention or effect on the general plot. Due to the unlimited reinforcements for the AI, situations arise where a particularly good player finds themselves outnumbered by the Rebel army in the tiny Tantive IV despite having an entire Star Destroyer's worth of troops for boarding, as seen in A New Hope. Or killing twice the number of Jedi in the Knightfall mission than they have clones. Becomes particularly Egregious in the Death Star mission where a prison breakout of Rebel prisoners can completely overwhelm the 501st Legion garrisoning the station. | |

Old Soldier: Due to some fridge logic, the clone narrator of the campaign that was born 32 years before the battle of Yavin would be physically well over 64 by the battle of Hoth due to his accelerated aging. Either he and his ilk in the 501st are REALLY that good at kicking Rebel ass in their old age or the clones have been relegated to more command support roles. | |

BadassNormal | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_6411dac8 | comment |
Badass Normal: Leia, Han, Chewbacca, Boba, and Jango. These heroes use various ranged weapons instead of lightsabers, playing differently than the Jedi and Sith heroes. Grievous to a lesser extent. While he has two lightsabers (whipping out two more for certain attacks), he cannot use the Force, so jumping and mobility are no different to normal troopers, and he doesn't get saber throw, Force Choke, Lightning, Push, Pull, etc. He does, however, get Rage, which is an ability that buffs the damage in surrounding allied troops. The "normal" troops fall into this when they stand their ground against a hero, often successfully. | |

High-Speed Missile Dodge: A necessary survival skill in space battles, where anything smaller than a bomber is capable of sending target-tracking rockets or torpedoes your way.

Balance Buff | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_6e1e24a | comment |
Balance Buff: The Wookiee Warrior received significant buffs in this game. Their terribly slow time bombs were replaced by thermal detonators, which are much more practical in combat. The properties of their bowcasters' charge was reversed, so that they fire a seven-shot spread by default and are charged to shoot a single, powerful shot (instead of shooting a single weak shot when uncharged and gaining the Spread Shot by charging) and can also zoom twice, letting them pull sniper duty. They also have more health in exchange for slower movement speed. Finally, the projectiles from their grenade launchers now explode on impact instead of bouncing across the ground, making them easier to aim (this buff was also applied to the grenade launchers of the Imperial and Droid pilots of the original game, which have been given over to the Imperial Officer and MagnaGuard respectively). Droidekas are now capable of strafing while in walk mode, whereas they had Tank Controls in the first game. The Dark Trooper's Arc Caster is basically a buffed version of the Clone Pilot's bolt caster from the first game. While the bolt caster was a borderline useless weapon that could only fire in a straight line, had a slow firing rate and needed to be charged to do meaningful damage, the Arc Caster has a Chain Lightning effect that can chain up to four targets with its charged shots at the marginal cost of now having an ammo count. | |

2-D Space | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_7976e429 | comment |
2-D Space: Capital ships and frigates have absolutely no defenses on their undersides. This means fighters can bypass their Auto Turrets by simply diving underneath them. What's more, they're always aligned on the same plane and positioned so that "up" relative to one ship is in the same direction as all the others, though that's also usually the case in the franchise as a whole. The only maps that do anything different are the space over Mygeeto and Coruscant, where the capital ships are facing different directions but still aligned on the same plane, and Yavin IV, where one ship is higher up than the other but the two are still oriented the same way. While individual starfighters can fly in three dimensions, the proton bombs dropped by bombers always fall "down" in relation to which plane the capital ships are on, even when the planet they're fighting over is in a different direction, like over Tatooine where the planet in question is always to one side of the ships. | |

Rock Beats Laser: Oddly enough, in single-player Hunt mode, the primitive native side often seems to absolutely cream the army they're up against, be it Geonosians vs. Clone Snipers, Ewoks vs Imperial Scouts, little Jawas vs the supposedly fierce Tusken Raiders, and Wampas vs the entire friggin' Rebel Army. The sole exception seems to be Gungans vs Super Battle Droids, presumably for catharsis regarding Jar-Jar. In multiplayer, though, with the AI turned off or kept to a minimum; the more well-equipped, military side almost always beats the natives. | |

The Clone Commander and Han Solo have Rally, which reduces incoming damage. The Imperial Commander and Chewbacca have Rage, which increases damage dealt. General Grievous has a unique version that has unlimited uses, but drains his stamina bar when used. The Bothan Spy can grant a Regeneration buff that heals allies over time. Princess Leia has a variant that regenerates less health, but grants invulnerability while active. | |

Mighty Glacier: The Lander-type ships for all factions have the most raw firepower of any space battle ship, as well as the most armor. They are also the slowest-moving ships of the lot. To a lesser extent, the bombers as well: while well-armored, capable of dishing out damage quickly against capital ships, and able to shoot down other ships quickly if their guns land a hit, they're slower than the other fighters and their guns also fire very slowly. AT-ATs on Hoth. They're heavily armored, work as a spawn point for troops, and can one-shot almost anything in their path; parking one in front of the Echo Base hanger will often secure an Imperial victory. However, they're very slow and vulnerable to snowspeeders, which can tangle them up and move too quickly to be reliably shot down. They also have a weak point in their necks, which can exploited by Rebel vanguards standing underneath them (where their guns can't reach). | |

Bots get access to the special classes from the very start, whereas players have to earn points before being able to play those classes. Justified as they'd almost never get to use those classes otherwise. | |

| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_9b8e2257 | comment |
Overrated and Underleveled: The frigates and corvettes in space battles. You would expect them to function as extra spawn points, or perhaps to carry different ships in them, but their only armament is an array of turrets that are meant to defend themselves and their capital ships from enemy bombers, and they don't even do that very well. For that matter, the capital ships themselves have very little firepower. Their main weapons are a small complement of auto-turrets, which pose no threat to the enemy capital ship and can be easily disabled by landing inside and destroying the mainframe. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Landing craft in space battles are the slowest ship in the fleet, have a limited amount of their "heavy" weapon, can barely dodge a lock-on, and are so large that you risk crashing if you go anywhere near the enemy hanger. However, if you overcome all of these obstacles and successfully land in the enemy hanger, you now have four units inside the enemy hanger, complete with a spawn point in enemy territory that lasts until the enemy can take the time to destroy the ship. | |

Elite Mooks: Outside of reskinned troops, the campaign has some. Geonosis has the Geonosians, who, aside from having decent weapons also possess the ability to fly about. They also have infinite reinforcements, but also have less health than most units. Felucia has the Acklay - that weird crab-insect thing from Attack of the Clones. The Jedi Temple and Naboo both feature nameless Jedi Knights and dual blade-wielding Jedi Masters as enemies. They basically act as lightsaber wielding heroes with the health of a standard mook. Kamino has the anti-Empire Clone Troopers, which are all equipped with either a jetpack or a chaingun. | |

The award sniper rifle is shorter-ranged and has wonky hit detection that makes headshots all but impossible, while the chaingun is slow to start firing and is horribly inaccurate. But the sniper is a One-Hit Kill anywhere on the body and can skewer enemies, and the chaingun rips even a shielded droideka to shreds in seconds. | |

Invoked in ground battles. Enemy AI has its problems, but is competent enough to provide a challenge. Friendly AI, however, takes a massive hit in competence to balance itself around the player carrying the team to victory. Enemy units can mow down friendly units who refuse to use cover or are overly reliant on their aiming abilities. Speaking of, friendly aiming abilities regress to Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy levels. | |

Jack of All Stats: The multi-purpose fighters (the regular TIE Fighter, ARC-170, Vulture Droid, and X-Wing) don't specialize in any one role, instead serving as a midpoint between the two other fighter types (excluding the lander, obviously). They can take more punishment and have heavier weapons than an interceptor, but aren't as fast and maneuverable. And they're faster and more maneuverable than bombers, but sacrifice firepower and health. In short, they're a fighter you can pick when you aren't feeling very specific on your mission - it can be used to attack capital ships, or it can be used to dogfight. It just can't do as well as the ships specifically designed for those roles. | |

Bootstrapped Leitmotif | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_af21be25 | comment |
Bootstrapped Leitmotif: While each hero's personal BGM is usually taken from a scene involving that character (Obi-Wan gets "Battle of the Heroes", Darth Maul gets "Duel of the Fates", and so on), General Grievous instead gets "The Flag Parade" from The Phantom Menace, the events of which Grievous had no involvement with. Curiously enough, Grievous' personal leitmotif does sometimes play in the game when you're playing as the CIS. Downplayed with Darth Vader getting "Anakin vs. Obi-Wan" along with an unreleased track titled "The Boys Continue" instead of the more obvious choice of the Imperial March, since while the character did take part in a lightsaber duel scored by that piece, it was before he was put in the suit. | |

Unique Enemy: Gamorrean Guards, who only appear in Jabba's Palace, are unplayable, and are spawned in by Jabba to add to the mayhem for his own entertainment. Acklays only appear in the Felucia campaign mission and nowhere else. The anti-Empire Clones in the Kamino campaign mission have a variant of the Jet Trooper equipped with a blaster rifle, a combination which isn't seen anywhere else and is not playable. They also have ARC Troopers with chainguns, whereas the ARC Troopers are only otherwise seen as a skin for Clone Heavy Troopers on Geonosis. | |

Grenade Spam: The AI in this game isn't any more grenade-happy than the previous game (which isn't saying all that much), but the volume of grenades used is made particularly evident by this game having several very narrow maps that the original Battlefront didn't (namely Jabba's Palace, Polis Massa, and the Tantive IV). These maps will almost always have at least one corridor being made completely impassable by bots lobbing thermal detonators at each other. | |

My Rules Are Not Your Rules | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_b3b1115f | comment |
My Rules Are Not Your Rules: In campaign, the AI gets unlimited reinforcements but your team still has to make do with a limited number of respawns. While mainly to prevent wiping out the entire enemy team, therefore rendering the mission objectives moot, this can lead to frustration as it encourages a more aggressive play style, a war of attrition being out of the question. The AI seems to be Crosshair Awarenote though this has yet to be concretely confirmed. Leading to droids suddenly dodging from your sniper shots halfway across the map when the enemy is nowhere near them. Bots get access to the special classes from the very start, whereas players have to earn points before being able to play those classes. Justified as they'd almost never get to use those classes otherwise. In space battles, human players have to spawn at a landed transport or inside their side's capital ship and then grab a vehicle the old fashioned way. Bots, on the other hand, are able to spawn in space inside a starfighter, usually near a human player. | |

| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Count Dooku is the Separatist hero of the first game, able to appear in any battle as one of the four available heroes. In the second game, he only appears in one standard battlefield: Geonosis. In normal battles, this puts him on the same tier of representation as Ki-Adi-Mundi and Anakin Skywalker; in campaign, the other two get another appearance or two, while Dooku doesn't. His situation is yet more humiliating in light of the "dead" Separatist heroes appearing more: Jango Fett (killed in Attack of the Clones, shows up in three missions) and Darth Maul, killed in The Phantom Menace (or at least, we thought he was), who shows up in seven missions. | |

"Instant Death" Radius | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_c185022a | comment |
"Instant Death" Radius: Lightsaber-wielding heroes, for obvious reasons. The Magnaguard also has one, as it can deploy a Neuro Poison that afflicts nearby enemies with damage over time that lasts more than long enough to kill them. It can be survived by camping a healing droid, but you have to be really fast. | |

Dull Surprise | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_c1b2c63f | comment |
Dull Surprise: The movies are actually lampshaded in this regard. Anakin Skywalker has a line, "That was exhilarating," with absolutely no emotion whatsoever, a nod to Hayden Christensen's performance as the character in the prequels. The clone announcer in space battles and during the campaign delivers both good and bad news to the player in the exact same monotone. | |

On the other, they're soldiers doing their jobs, it's made clear repeatedly that they didn't like Order 66 even though they went along with it, and they care for each other deeply. | |

The Dark Trooper's Arc Caster is basically a buffed version of the Clone Pilot's bolt caster from the first game. While the bolt caster was a borderline useless weapon that could only fire in a straight line, had a slow firing rate and needed to be charged to do meaningful damage, the Arc Caster has a Chain Lightning effect that can chain up to four targets with its charged shots at the marginal cost of now having an ammo count. | |

The Garrison bonus. All it does is add another 50% to your remaining units when your current stock gets too low. But since depleting the enemy's troops is how you win most of the time, the extra troops act as a faction-wide Heart Container, often forcing your opponent to go through the much more arduous task to capturing every single command post... which all your extra troops will be pouring out of as spawn points become more limited. | |

Spread Shot | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_d3c2c6b2 | comment |
The Wookiee Warrior received significant buffs in this game. Their terribly slow time bombs were replaced by thermal detonators, which are much more practical in combat. The properties of their bowcasters' charge was reversed, so that they fire a seven-shot spread by default and are charged to shoot a single, powerful shot (instead of shooting a single weak shot when uncharged and gaining the Spread Shot by charging) and can also zoom twice, letting them pull sniper duty. They also have more health in exchange for slower movement speed. Finally, the projectiles from their grenade launchers now explode on impact instead of bouncing across the ground, making them easier to aim (this buff was also applied to the grenade launchers of the Imperial and Droid pilots of the original game, which have been given over to the Imperial Officer and MagnaGuard respectively). | |

Achilles' Heel | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_d7639dba | comment |
Achilles' Heel: Capital ships in space battles can be crippled by targeting vital systems, both through internal sabotage and simply using bombs. This has no effect on gameplay, though, and merely serves to add a large amount of points to your tally. Every land-based vehicle now has a weak point that can be hit with a rocket to deal extra damage. It's usually a fairly obvious or noticeable part of the vehicle. For instance, the Republic/Imperial TX-130 hovertank's weak point is the circle in the back. | |

Artificial Brilliance: The AI is smart enough to follow the direction of damage or shots that pass near it without being always aware of your position. This means that it is more difficult to camp as a sniper or in a turret as the AI will see your missed (or even hit) shots and find out where you are but does allow you to get one or two free kills in. If an enemy is aware that you're a sniper and have your sights trained on them, they will actually bob and weave to try and throw off your aim while returning fire. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: The 501st fights on Utapau, when in the films it was only the 212th Attack Battalion there. This opens up a plot hole, as it means that they somehow teleport from Utapau (which is in the Outer Rim) to Coruscant before Order 66 was issued, despite them having been on Utapau the day Grievous was killed, which was the same day Order 66 was executed. This is hand-waved by the narrating clone mentioning that they were pulled out, loaded up onto transports, and sent to Coruscant on secret order from the highest authority. According to both Legends and Canon, the original Jango Fett clones were slowly phased out of the Imperial Military to be replaced by normal humans. In Battlefront 2, after the clone rebellion on Kamino, the clone narrator says that the Imperial Stormtroopers (bar the 501st) were still clones, just of several other people to minimize the possibility of another mass clone rebellion. Jango also fights in the Clone Wars when he not only died in Attack of the Clones but made clear he was Only in It for the Money and wasn't interested in the conflict itself. The latter is Hand Waved as some of his dialogue like "My work here is done. I'll expect my payment in the usual manner" suggests he's just fighting as a mercenary. | |

Beating A Dead Player: Sometimes, Rebel soldiers under A.I. control will run up to a dead enemy/player's body, draw their pistols, and repeatedly shoot it just to ensure that they're dead. They sometimes do this in the middle of a firefight. To make things even worse (or better), it's fairly common to see several Rebels all do this at the same time, which inevitably results in them all shooting each other. | |

Nerf | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: In general, vehicles are much less powerful than they were in the first game; most notably, their armor and splash damage were almost all severely downgraded, the former likely to make rocket launchers more effective at taking them out. The Snowspeeder is a big example: not only did the harpoon gunner lose their co-axial blaster, but now it tends to explode if grazed by a Shock Trooper's rocket or an AT-AT's main gun (which now have much better precision than in the first game, making it easier to shoot them down). The IFT-X and IFT-T got almost nothing but downgrades: their guns lost their splash damage, the turret now deals much less damage against enemy armor, and of course, they had their health reduced. While their CIS counterpart, the AAT, also lost its splash damage, it got rockets to compensate and its turret was left intact. The Recon Droid was made slower than in the first game. Additionally, their Orbital Strike calldown was replaced with a more conventional self-destruct; while the droid could move around while signaling an orbital strike, it now has to remain entirely still while self-destructing. This may have been done due to the increased number of indoor battlefields, and orbital bombardments did not work against indoor enemies in the first game. | |

Grand Theft Prototype: Any time you raid an enemy hangar (useful for taking out the auto-turret defenses, shields, life support, and engines quickly) you will have to steal an enemy fighter. Yours tends to end up either destroyed or hijacked while you're wreaking havoc. You can steal enemy vehicles on ground using your Engineer's Fusion Cutter. Not only does it turn on the enemy instead of your own troops, but also keeps it from respawning since you never "destroyed" it in the first place. | |

Explosive Stupidity: It's hilariously common for AI troopers to blow themselves up by throwing grenades at enemy tanks... which they happen to be standing right next to. | |

War Is Hell | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: The Journal doesn't gloss over the bloodshed and atrocities like the movies do, and the narrator makes sure to detail every trauma and atrocity he's been witness to. This point is especially hammered home in some of the later missions, where the things you kill aren't just mindless droids, or even soldiers, but innocent people, who in defending themselves are slaughtered for resisting the Empire. | |

Evil Brit | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_f2d29e14 | comment |
Evil Brit: In true Star Wars tradition. In fact, one Imperial is labeled in the credits as "Smarmy British Palpatine Ally". | |

Psychic Strangle | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_f41ee3f2 | comment |
Psychic Strangle: Force Choke is usable by Count Dooku, Emperor Palpatine, and both versions of Darth Vader as an ability that leaves the target helpless while draining their health. It needs to be actively maintained by the user (though they can still use their lightsaber in the meantime) and drains stamina over time while being used. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Averted for normal soldiers, with the game outright saying "<enemy> killed <player>" (even droids). Played straight for special characters like Jedi and Sith, however. If they are downed by an enemy, the game will say "<enemy> defeated <character>", with them slumping to the floor on one knee rather than falling down dead. Even in scenarios like falling down a pit where the game would normally say "<player> died", it instead says "<character> has fled" — supposedly because the characters can sometimes later respawn in the same battle (as well as to avoid stepping on canon too much). In the anachronistic Mos Eisley Assault mode, however, Heroes and Villains have health bars rather than time meters and are "killed" just like normal infantry. | |

Dude, Where's My Respect? | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_f818b637 | comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: The clone narrator often complains about the Jedi taking credit for daring operations against the CIS while overlooking the clones who died in the thousands to make those victories happen. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
In campaign, the AI gets unlimited reinforcements but your team still has to make do with a limited number of respawns. While mainly to prevent wiping out the entire enemy team, therefore rendering the mission objectives moot, this can lead to frustration as it encourages a more aggressive play style, a war of attrition being out of the question. | |

Happy Ending | |
| Star Wars: Battlefront II (Video Game) / int_fec2b522 | comment |
Happy Ending: The Republic campaign in Galactic Conquest shows Mace Windu killing Palpatine, Obi-Wan killing Grievous, and Anakin becoming a Jedi Master. The ending for the Rebel Campaign is basically the canon ending, unsurprisingly. | |
