Star Wars: Battlefront (series): Difference between revisions

{{quote|''For years you've watched the greatest [[Star Wars]] battles''<br />

''What If...''<br />

There have been two spin-offs, both of which are for the PSP and the later of which is also available on the DS. ''Battlefront III'' has had leaked footage, but with Free Radical Designs' collapse, the game is [[Development Hell|currently without a developer.]] For hope and rumoursrumors on another sequel, check [http://www.battlefront3.net/ battlefront3.net].

* [[Achilles' Heel]] / [[For Massive Damage]]: Every land-based vehicle has a weak point that can be hit with a rocket to deal extra damage.

* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: Droidekas are prohibitively slow. You can move faster without your shield or your ability to fire your weapons though.

* [[Five-Token Band]]: The rebels in both games (White male soldier, white/black (depending on map) male rocket launcher user, asianAsian female sniper and [[Ambiguously Brown]] technician). Becomes [[Gender Bender|extremely]] [[Race Lift|odd]] with the 2nd game's ability to change class at a command post.

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Of various shapes and sizes.

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: Pandemic's ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]: Conquest'', which is essentially ''Battlefront'' but [[Inverted Trope|not]] <small>[[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE!]]</small>

* [[High Altitude Battle]]: The first map on Bespin, starting off on the gas platforms seen in the background on approach to Cloud City in [[The Empire Strikes Back]].

* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Capital ships in space battles can be crippled by targeting vital systems, both through internal sabotage and simply using bombs.

* [[Action Girl]]: Aayla Secura, a Twi'lek Jedi who absolutely rips through enemies with [[Dual-Wielding|two lightsabers]]. Princess Leia to a lesser degree as well.

* [[Cosmetic Award]]: Medals in ''II'', up until you get four of any specific medal, which then grants you a bonus depending on what the medal is. Getting the medal 64 times on one profile gives you the bonus in question permanently for singleplayersingle-player games.

* [[Downer Ending]]: The Empires victory in Galactic Conquest. Han is still frozen, Vader force chokes Leia to death, all life on Endor is massacred, and Luke ''kneels before The Emperor''.

** Also, the CIS ending. Sidious leads the assault on the Jedi Temple with an army of [[Mecha-Mooks|Battle Droids]], Darth Maul and Jango Fett (somehow back alive) massacring Clone Troopers, General Grievous hunts down the rest of the Jedi and Count Dooku kills Anakin on [[Death World|Mustafar]].

** The engineer's fusion cutter can be used to boot an enemy out of their vehicle, allowing you to hijack it.

* [[It's Up to You]]: Allies in the campaign can't accomplish objectives on their own (the player needs to be present for a control point to be captured despite the dozen friendlies swarming over it, only the player can carry the holocron, ectetc).

* [[What Measure Is a Mook?]]: Subverted quite prettily with the campaign. The destruction of the [[Kill Sat|Death Star]] is described in the campaign. The people who replaced the 501st are described as [[What a Senseless Waste of Human Life|"poor souls"]] and the entire premise of the last three or four missions is to [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|wipe out]] ''every single Rebel who had the slightest bit of involvement in it''. There's even something approaching a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] when you win the battle on Yavin 4 and {{spoiler|destroy the Rebel leaders}} when the officer commanding you says, "Well done. The spirits of our fallen brothers will sleep soundly tonight."
