More Focused Multiplayer Modes

Star Wars Battlefront II is also more focused than the first when it comes to overall game modes for multiplayer. There are fewer modes overall, but each one is more varied. Things like Droid Run and Hero Hunt are dropped, but Battlefront II doesn’t suffer for it. Now we have Galactic Assault, Starfighter Assault, Heroes vs. Villains, Blast, and Strike. Galactic and Starfighter Assault are the big focuses here, and each mode puts you in massive multi-tier battles with one team attacking and one defending. This is where everything comes together for Battlefront II, adding in all the vehicles, starfighters,  and more into epic Star Wars battles. There are 11 different maps for Galactic Assault and five for Starfighter, with the three different eras adding a little bit more variation with different looks as well.

Meanwhile Heroes vs. Villains boils things down to some great matches between good and evil, and you can get a dose of smaller and quicker matches with Blast or Strike. There’s enough variety to keep players busy, but each mode feels sufficiently developed.
