Battlefront's co-op survival mode pits you and a friend against 15 waves of increasingly challenging enemies, and on Master difficulty your fight for survival can feel quite unfair. Lucky for you, Reiner and I have devised a foolproof.

Biker scouts are lightly armored compared with other stormtroopers, which allows them to move more quickly and easily in a range of environments. They're also trained for more independence and adaptability than most Imperial troops. The Empire used biker scouts for a range of missions, including reconnaissance and infiltration. On Endor, they used speeder bikes to patrol the forests, guarding against threats to the shield generator protecting the second Death Star during its construction in orbit above the moon.
The Rebel Alliance stood bravely against the evil of the Galactic Empire, never backing down despite overwhelming odds. Formed from resistance movements that arose during the Clone Wars, the Rebellion worked in secret for decades to overthrow the Emperor and restore democracy to the galaxy. Eventually, armed with the firepower of ships like the X-wing and A-wing, and the leadership of figures including Princess Leia and Admiral Ackbar, the Rebel Alliance triumphed over the Empire at the Battle of Endor.

True Jedi Story - 90 000. It's quite simple - there's a lot of studs all around the place, just keep looking for them. Notice there's a lot of studs in the corridor you're in just after entering the bunker.
True Jedi Freeplay - 110 000. Same as Story Mode.
Not many Freeplay hidden areas, but still it's pretty easy to get enough. In the room to the left of the bunker control room destroy the hatch near the stormtrooper panel. Use the panel and use the Dark Side on the black triangle on the floor. Push the crate towards the opening. Now get to the higher level (where you used the C3PO panel in Story Mode) and as R2 hover to the right. In there, use another 3PO panel. A tunnel will be open - go through it and push the crate to the end of the track.
A power brick is yours.

More on the classes is mentioned later on. Each faction also has a non-playable hero character that participates in battle for a limited amount of time: (CIS), (Republic), (Rebels), and (Empire). Gameplay in Battlefront is. Each faction has a finite amount of reinforcements, and each is given control of a set number of command posts in a given level.
The object is to either eliminate enemy forces or capture and hold all command posts simultaneously for 20 seconds. Several ground and air vehicles are available on the battlefield.

Temple Single-player modes While the game is played similarly in every mode, each is a unique scenario which utilizes mode-specific features to further extend gameplay. Three modes are presented to the player: Campaign, which serves as the game's story mode, Galactic Conquest, in which the player must conquer planets, and Instant Action, which allows the player to select the battle they wish to play and adjust settings such as reinforcements to their liking.
Campaign groups several battles together in a set order loosely based on the historical campaign of either the or the. As had not been released at the time, the Clone Wars campaign ends with the Battle of.

To maintain continuity, missions prior to the battle of Geonosis pit the Separatists against native forces only, and for the first two missions the is unavailable, replaced with a standard battle droid. In Galactic Conquest, the player uses strategy to take control of planets and dominate an area of the galaxy.
First the player chooses a map configuration based on conflicts from both eras of Star Wars history. Some maps start both sides evenly while others favor one faction. Next, the player chooses which faction to play as. The game is played in turns, with the player starting first. The player can select an enemy-controlled or neutral planet to attack. After selecting what planet to attack, the player is able to activate a bonus from one of his already owned planets (if any).
Each planet provides its own unique bonus, but must be captured before the player can use it. Bonuses help the player in battle by impeding the enemy or assisting the player's team. If one side manages to win four battles (not necessarily in a row), they gain access to their faction's Secret Base bonus. Secret Base bonuses are very powerful and can change the course of a game. They can be used on any enemy planet, except for the enemy's Secret Base. The game is completed when one faction controls all planets on the map. Instant Action mode allows the players to jump right into a battle of their choice.
The player can also customize a list of battles, which then can be played through in the order they have chosen, or in a random order. Players can choose between playing as the Republic, the CIS, the Empire, or the Rebels on each of the maps, except, Geonosis, and, which do not allow the player to select their battle era, as these follow their canonical settings.
Players can also choose whether or not they would like to have heroes fight for each side. Development.
Reprises his voice acting role for the Clone Troopers in Battlefront. Development for Star Wars Battlefront began at in 2002. Greg Burrod, executive producer on Battlefront stated 'We wanted to create an online shooter title for the Xbox, PS2, and PC which would allow for team strategy and would feature battles and worlds from every one of the six Star Wars films.' Models and animations for the game were created in, a 3D development application.
Most characters used a common animation set and the minimal number of bones were used due to concerns with hardware limitations at that time. World environments were created with the developer's proprietary editor,. The terrain-based landscape was formed using the editor's brushes to adjust height, texture application, and color shading. Were then laid on this foundation along with general objective pathing for the artificial intelligence (AI). The AI used two main systems, again to ensure a minimal load on the hardware. A higher, overall objective, such as which command post to head towards, would only be calculated every few seconds per unit.
Lower level objectives such as which enemy to fire on or what defensive strategy to take against incoming fire, are calculated continuously. Some sounds and for the game were taken from Star Wars reference material, while others were recorded during a two-day visit to, near.
The game has approximately 1,200 foley sounds that are used to convey the impression of such aspects as interaction with flora and fauna, water, and metals.

LucasArts released an Xbox-exclusive playable demo on the Star Wars Trilogy DVD set.
The demo included one level, the Battle of Endor. The game released on September 21, 2004, the same day as the Trilogy DVD set. In late 2004, Pandemic Studios released unsupported tools for Microsoft Windows, allowing players to create their own maps, as well as edit the weapons and characters for all sides in the game. This release is not supported by Lucasarts. A number of communities now exist solely based around creating maps and characters using these tools, and uploading them for others to download. Aspyr was contracted to port the game to Macintosh systems; it was released in July 2005 for Mac OS.

He gave high marks to the versatility of playing modes, such as vehicle control and foot battle. He also praised the PC version for its extensive online play. Ivan Sulic of praised the graphics, sound, general Star Wars setting, and online mode, but was very critical of both the AI and the single-player mode. 'This is a multiplayer-centric third and first-person shooter, which means players who opt to stick to single player will have something to do, but won't be thrilled enough to desire extended play.' He cited three major issues with the game's single player element: its easy difficulty, its lack of cohesion, and poor AI teammates and enemies. Of the AI, Sulic stated 'Everyone is an idiot.
The game appears to use a sort of context sensitive AI, meaning bots in the right positions will do stuff (like use turrets and vehicles and lay down cover fire), but those not immediately engaged in combat will idly stand around helping themselves to an endless breather.' 's Will Tuttle and Sal Accardo also praised the graphics and online mode, but they too criticized the single player campaign.
'Historical Campaign. gets very confusing because you frequently switch sides from battle to battle', stated Tuttle.

'Visually, Battlefront is exceptional.

Overall, he felt the problems with the game were outweighed by its qualities. ' Battlefront manages to stand tall as a great game that does the best job we've yet seen of playing out the battles of the Star Wars movies.'
