Like most other Star Wars games, Battlefront II takes place on many of the worlds featured in the films. In addition to visiting locations such as Endor, Naboo, and Hoth, which were seen in Star Wars: Battlefront, the second installment features new locales such as the Death Star, and Tantive IV. The game also travels to locations seen in the last film in the prequel trilogy, Revenge of the Sith, such as Mustafar and Utapau
Players have the ability to choose between exactly six classes throughout the game. These classes are: "Soldier", "Heavy(Vanguard)", "Sniper"/"Sharpshooter", and "Engineer". They all have different specialties as well as certain weaknesses. In addition to the four standard classes, the game also has two special classes for each separate faction. For example, the Confederacy of Independent Systems has the IG-100 Magnaguard and the Droideka for their special classes: The Rebels would have a Wookie Warrior and a Bothan spy. The Republic has a Clone Commander and a Jet Trooper. The Empire has a Dark Trooper and an Imperial Officer.
Battlefront II also features a special class referred to as "heroes", which are found sporadically throughout the game. The hero each faction receives is entirely dependent on the map. In addition to having un-lockable heroes on the normal Conquest maps, there is an additional Game Mode on Mos Eisley called "Assault." Much like Space Assault, each team is given a number of points to reach before the other team, but all of the Unit Classes are now the heroes. Some examples of heroes include Boba Fett, Jango Fett, Aayla Secura, Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader and Yoda.[3]
