Star Wars Battlefront 2 free Mac Game

Gameplay

Battlefront II is fundamentally similar to its predecessor, albeit with the addition of new gameplay mechanics. The general objective in most missions is to eliminate the enemy faction. Like its predecessor Star Wars Battlefront, the game is split into two eras: the Clone Wars, with battles taking place between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the Galactic Civil War, where battles between the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire take place. Players have the ability to choose between six classes during gameplay. Four class types are common to all factions: infantry, heavy, sniper and engineer. In addition to the four standard classes, each faction has two unique classes which unlock by scoring a predetermined number of points. For the Rebellion faction, the Bothan Spy and the Wookiee; for the Empire, the Officer and the Dark Trooper; for the Republic, the Commander and the Jet Trooper; and for the CIS, the MagnaGuard and the Droideka.

Battlefront II also features heroes - a special class that allows the player to control iconic characters from the Star Wars universe. Several heroes were present in the original Battlefront as NPCs that randomly spawned on the battlefield, but this time they are fully playable characters. Heroes and villains are also era specific, with the number of heroes for each faction differing from one another (this is due to the fact that some heroes are available for more than one faction); on every map in the game, there is only one hero available for each faction (again, the same hero can be available on multiple maps). For the Rebel Alliance, the hero roster includes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Leia Organa, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda; for the Empire, Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, Boba Fett, and Anakin Skywalker; for the Republic, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Mace Windu, Ki-Adi Mundi and Aayla Secura (as well as Kit Fisto, available only on the Xbox version of the game via the Xbox Live patch); and for the CIS, Count Dooku, General Grievous, Darth Maul, Jango Fett, and Darth Sidious (as well as Assajj Ventress, also available only via the Xbox Live patch). Heroes serve as a bonus to players, and are unlocked by meeting certain criteria, such as earning a certain number of points. Differences between Battlefront II and its predecessor include the ability to sprint and the ability to roll forward. In addition to utilizing heroes in conquest matches, the game also features a hero assault mode in which heroes are pitted against villains in a team deathmatch format (in this game mode, factions don't matter anymore, as each hero and villain is available to play as, and there can even be more than one of the same hero at the same time).

Campaign

Whereas Star Wars: Battlefront's campaign featured missions dependent on the chosen faction, Battlefront II contains only one campaign, called Rise of the Empire, which is found in every version of the game except the PlayStation Portable (PSP). This set of missions is presented as the narration from a veteran of the 501st Legion, starting with the Battle of Geonosis at the beginning of the Clone Wars (as depicted in Attack of the Clones) and ending with the Battle of Hoth (as depicted in The Empire Strikes Back). There are a total of 18 missions, four of which are optional space missions.

The PSP version of Battlefront II does not feature the Rise of the Empire campaign. Instead it features three single-player Challenge modes: Imperial Enforcer, Rogue Assassin, and Rebel Raider. In Imperial Enforcer, the player is sent to eliminate indigenous species on several given planets, such as Gungans on Naboo and Ewoks on Endor. Rogue Assassin requires the player to eliminate all Imperial officers on a given sets of planets. Bonus points are awarded for any other kills. Finally, Rebel Raider tasks the player with locating specific objects in a map and returning them to a designated drop point, similar to Capture the flag.
