Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a real-time shooter that takes place in the Star Wars universe, and it is one of the most played games in the series thanks to an immense online community of players.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 takes the best elements of third-person shooting and combines them all into a single game, and players will agree that this game is one of their favorite Star Wars games ever created. One of the biggest draws to the game is that it includes aerial combat in the form of space battles between tons of different fighter ships.

This game is of such high caliber that it can be difficult to stop playing at times. Players take control of a soldier from a faction of the Star Wars epic tale, which includes such groups as the Galactic Empire, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Old Republic, and the Rebel Alliance. Teams of 16 will join together to take on each other in a map tailored after one of the iconic Star Wars settings.

Part of the game's charm comes from the available soldiers players can select. There are a number of creative additions such as the Droideka, the Confederacy's amazing ray-shielded defense droid. They can cause untold mayhem when controlled properly. Players who prefer something a bit more subtle might prefer one of the Rebel spies.

Another amazing new feature is the inclusion of Heroes. These special characters are exceptionally vulnerable, but they are also rare and powerful. Players can choose from Heroes on either side of the Force, including Han Solo and Boba Fett.

When players are placed into a map for their game, it could come from a number of different settings from either the original trilogy or the prequels. The Clone Wars saw the Battle of Geonosis, and that battle is brilliantly recreated in this game. The Death Star is another classic location available in this game, as well Hoth, Mustafar, Endor, Kamino, and many others.

Those players who want to play completely solo can enjoy the campaign that places them within the army of the Galactic Empire. The campaign is a great starting place for new players since it helps them get a feel for the gameplay. The plot of the campaign only continues through a certain point from The Empire Strikes Back.

It might come as a surprise that many players agree the very best aspect of Battlefront 2 is the space fighting. The 3D nature of the space battles is amazingly reflected in the lack of gravity, and the intensity and size of these battles is enough to make anyone feel as if they are actually in a Star Wars movie.

Battlefront 2 also lets players build personalized mods, so the community has launched a number of fan-made weapons, graphics updates, maps, and tutorials.
