So I used to mod this game in my free time, and here is some interesting stuff I picked up: 1. The Phase 1 Clone commander you mentioned is much darker than the clone sharpshooter allowing them to be easily differentiated. He also exists in Battlefront 1 as an alternative to the Heavy trooper. 2. Gisro Delso, the Geonosian boss in the campaign mission "Tying up on loose ends" Uses a different model than the other geonosian units. This model does not display the wings on the character when he is not flying. So if you ever get confused on which on is Delso, look for the one without wings. 3. There is an unused yellow Naboo Pilot unit in the game files, this character would likely have appeared in the campaign level "Imperial Diplomacy" and would have likely spawned along side the naboo guards (red), and naboo Vanguard respectively. 4. A battle field can have up to 6 teams instead of the default 2. Maps rarely go above 3, team three would something like the Ewoks or the Geonosians, and you can have up to 4 native teams. Additionally, native teams are tied to command posts themselves not so much the map itself. Geonosians can only spawn if the CIS controls at least 1 of the two command at the fair ends of the map (the ones they begin with on default). 5. Any unit can be used as a hero and vice versa. 6. The Empire has battle chatter in response to all 3 of the other factions, this is because of the campaign, but they work on other maps if you make such a battle occur. 7. Reward Weapons, after you permanently unlock them, can be switched back to normal by switching class at a CP and selecting the same unit you are playing as. Only works for primary weapons. 8. Units can hold up to 8 weapons instead of the 4 we see at most. Secondary and primary weapons are the same in the files and are interchangeable. It is a special line of code that tells the game to put the weapon in the secondary space (aka the grenade space). 9. The Hero kneeling effects can be enabled and disabled in the unit files, however, the team hero will always kneel when defeated, this only applies to the unit if they are used in a non-hero position. 10. There is a script for Jabba's Palace Hunt. This script is unused but has rebel engineers battle the Gamorian guards of jabba's palace. This script works however it is very difficult for the rebels to win, even more so than any of the other hunt missions. 11. The Ackley, the giant creatures on Fuleica during the campaign can be assigned to a unit slot and controlled by the player. In some cases these creatures get stuck at CP when spawning, but it can be done. 12. The Sniper Jet Trooper variant used in the campaign "Changing of the Guard" cannot actually use his jetpack. There is a single command blocking it. So there is twelve more lesser known BF2 facts from a modder. Hope this is interesting to some people.

[@XBurgerVideos]

Im pretty sure theres a hunt mode in felucia where Droids battle the Acklays, but I dont remember what version of the game it is, or even if its on the Vanilla game.

[@TheComicCorvette]

@@XBurgerVideos There is a hunt Felucia in the mission req folder (the folder that tells the game to acknowledge scripts). However the script itself does not exist. If it does, it's not in a playable or even recognizable format. I've made a mod that adds a hunt to Felucia, but I made the script from scratch; and mine used clones instead of droids.

[@jomiles3605]

I think the reason for not have clone legion skins tied to maps was campaign limitations. The idea is you’re playing as the same unit through all those missions. They’d have to write skin override code for campaign exclusive maps AND create movie appropriate legion skins for default maps played outside campaign. Probably doable, but definitely would require more work/time, and as I understand it, the team was on a tight schedule anyway and the clone legions had not blown up in popularity yet because RotS hadn’t come out yet

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

The weak point for the Snail tank had 2 actually. If you aim for the side near the guns that is a major weak point in the revenge of the Sith a Wookie placed a thermal detonator before jumping off and killing the droid driver inside.

[@thatguykalem]

It’s funny to hear someone talk about the recruit squad members mechanic not having a tutorial. It didn’t need one - when the game came out, we got that info from the instruction manual, haha

[@angeligiacomo2292]

Same thoughts

[@georgeoldsterd8994]

The dlc can actually be played on PC, some modders "ported" it. Also, the red ARC trooper having red armour isn't a problem. The colours on phase 1 armour originally signified rank, rather than legion or unit, so a red-armoured ARC trooper would be a captain, just like a regular red-armoured clone-trooper (except that since ARCs were a special unit, ARC captains technically outranked regular ones). That said, a commander would have to have yellow armour (as seen in AotC), but it was of a different tint to that of clone pilots (which were, ironically, mostly lieutenants). Also, there were no ARC commander clones (as far as i remember), just a handful of captains and lieutenants (blue armoured ARCs). Since they were special units, they answered directly to regular commanders and generals (jedi or not jedi). Oh yeah, and rebel snipers (and i think engineers or smugglers) also have several camo variants.

[@CreeperGreenMC]

I did never notice that the Rebel soldier has 3 different camos. Another fact is that you can play the Campaign missions in coop / versus in online mode, by loading the campaign level via the in game console... If I remember correctly

[@stanislavshemiakov4600]

Totally! I remember I used a mod that adds those maps/modes to the map list and I’ve been running the server with those campaign missions! I also used conversion-something mod pack console tool to force people to join protagonists team (unless they ask otherwise) btw Yavin 4 campaign along with 63 players was the most epic hour in my whole gaming experience so far!

Something I remember: The clone commander originally had a different color pallet in the demo inluded in the holiday 2005 PS2 demo disk. Originally the boots, gloves, and facemask were black instead of white.

[@Arvyn992]

For Classic BattleFront 2 when your doing hunt on Hoth you don't want to recruit any other Wampas because if your in a squad of 2 or more you would be hitting and hurting each other more often then your enemies because the Wampas has a huge arm reach and they have a wide arm sweeping arcs

[@CrabbyCakes702]

Lmfao I remember how many team kills you'd rack up in that mode/map specifically

[@Skorm731]

Clone Sharpshooter should have been a black color on Geonosis.

[@thedoctor4327]

One of my favorite games as a kid/teen but admittedly two of my only complaints were in regard to the DLC maps and clone armor. All those DLC maps were beloved from the original 2004 game yet they got dropped in favor of planets that no one was scrambling for (i.e., Polis Massa) and were only available via one game console. Clone armor is more of a nitpick but I wish they had been a little bit more cosmetically consistent with the same 501st color scheme and better choices for armor plus giving the Commanders a Phase 1 variant. Other than that, only other real complaint I have about a game I still love is that the AI in space battles is wonky (i.e., if you try landing a transport on an enemy ship to be a mobile spawn point, if you don't land in a certain manner any AI that spawn in will try piloting the ship and will subsequently crash it into a wall).

[@DISTurbedwaffle918]

I had the issue of one AI not leaving upon landing, so the moment I get out, the little bugger takes off and blows the lander up

[@thedoctor4327]

@@DISTurbedwaffle918 If playing as Republic against CIS best workout around was to land on the stairs of their ship leading to the various internal systems. Something about it being at an angle tricks the AI into not trying to enter and crash.

[@MDPToaster]

Love content like this, even if I know just about everything in it. Funfact: the phase I clone commander is unused because of a spelling error they didn’t find and just had it use phase 2 commander. Funfact: the rebel sniper and vanguard also have alternate camos but went unused for some odd reason, same with the rebel smuggler and bothan spy.

[@lanfeuq95]

I remember when I discovered General "command" features and special blasters ! Like a new game for me at the time ahaha And yeah.. the lack of specific clone skin related to planets was disapointing... especially compared to rebel skins as you said. Mygetoo trooper always anoying me !

[@JonatasAdoM]

You've reminded me of something! You can slice enemy vehicles and hijack them. You do it with the engineer's repair torch (completely forgotten the name). Just get close enough to a vehicle and success will kick the enemies from inside (won't work in command post vehicles). The Ai Itsrlg will try this and it is really confusing when it happens.

[@XShadow705]

[@blueshit199]

I did know about these! I even installed a mod that added Ventress to the game, but I thought it was a fan-made model at the time

[@RogueJedi501]

What I understood about having the 501st on different planets is that they were the elite legion that had to make it viable for the next legion/battalion

[@LordSaladbar1]

I always thought the reason why the Clone Commander didn’t have (or use in this case) a phase 1 model was because it didn’t exist in Battlefront 1. As from what I can tell the phase 1 models used when playing on Genosis: Dust Plans are reused from Battlefront 1. Which includes the Jet Trooper as it was the only special unit the clone army had in that game.

@@taten007 Because it was stupid. Painting Phase I armored clones like officers was also wrong. - Jet Trooper - Sergeant - Sharpshooter - Captain - Pilot - Commander What was the logic here? All Phase I Clones should've had all-white except for the Officer Class and ARC Trooper. Or all of them could have had blue striped armors as the 501st legion. (I'm not sure if Phase I armor was painted other than the officer insignias.) ARC Troopers should've been switched to standard Heavy Clone Troopers at this point.

[@nikesshoes2011]

you could have soliders come with you in the first game! this game had so much content its crazy.

[@slayerofdarknssdmt9697]

Cause this was back in the day that; if you made a game it was all or nothing cause once you were done, you were done. You can't download content to a disk and you typically had to make a disc 2 for any extra content cause sometimes the game would just be too big. Alternatively, if the game was THAT BAD, you'd either leave it for the future idiots to find it in 20 years or remake the game entirely and re-release it as a different version. Couple that with the fact that most people in that age of gaming wanted to make something fun and enjoyable, rather than caring only about money and thinking of the profit a game would make them. So you'd have companies who'd spend over 2 maybe 3 years on a game in an all or nothing shot to see if they can make a fun playable game that people will like and they typically turned out really good. Even some games that were made in less than 5 months for the release of a movie or sometimes a show to increase hype are be better than some of the games we get now. Nowadays, we have shitty game companies who could care less about the fans they serve and make us wait up to several years for a half-finished game with little to no content and gameplay we've seen been done by 30 other games. Despite that though they're still ballsy enough to add microtransactions with an overabundance of weapon skins and character models to keep players googly eyed at the fancy colors, which gives them something else to talk about for another month. Meanwhile the devs do pretty much nothing to fix the game until players start getting annoyed with the performance of the game again, so they do the bare minimumand expect us to be satisfied. Unless ofc it's a fun glitch and they gotta get rid of it as fast as possible cause it's a glitch and it's making the game fun and they can't have that. But Lando who's been able to fire the full power of the fucking sun for TWO DLCS nah leave that in I'm sure no one would ever abuse that.

[@artirony410]

I played 2 a ton and didn't know about the medal effects becoming permanent after getting them 64 times, that's so cool

[@npaul12]

That makes so much sense! I played for years and thousands of hours until i had every thing legendary on battlefront 2 i played every map and every game mode. I later on played on pc too. Onlyplayed a few favorite maps and game modes. I saw gameplay with ventress thought i always thought was a mod. I swore that the only heroes vs villians was the assault game mode on mos eisley. I played assault on other maps on the original xbox and it was exacrly the same as conquest. Idk if that was true or if my game was bugged. When i played recently on th xbox 1, i was shocked to find heroesvs villans on a on of maps. I playedin cloud city and nearly ded when i could play as ventress and kit fisto. Ventress has always been one of my favourite characters. Even more so when the clone wars series came out.
