Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005)

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005) is a shooter based on the famous universe, where battles take place both on earth and in space. The player chooses a class and joins the battle on the side of one of the factions. The maps cover familiar planets, and the modes differ in tasks: capturing points, destroying targets, guarding or stealing an important object. In addition to ordinary soldiers, you can take the place of a hero with special abilities, and then the battle follows different rules. There are also battles on ships, where you need to get inside and disable the systems. Opponents are controlled by a computer, but at several difficulty levels, and in online play everything depends on live participants. The design looked decent for its time, and the music is recognizable from the first seconds. The classes differ in weaponry and role, with snipers, assault, medics, and engineers contributing in different ways. The equipment on the maps helps break through defenses, but requires skill. Battles in space are organized separately: first the battle from the outside, then the assault from the inside. Match rewards unlock new gear sets and skins. Classes can be changed between respawns, so a bad choice doesn't close the path. Combat on ships requires destroying systems from the inside, and this is a separate task. Match rewards unlock gear, and some packs are geared towards regular players. The settings allow you to play against the computer at different levels. The classes differ in weapons, and some of them are useful in defense, some in offense. In addition to infantry, there are vehicles and heroes with special abilities. For those who remember these fights or want to see them for the first time, the collection remains enjoyable.
