You will also be able to play and control Emperor Palpatine on a Death Star level. According to various game sites, he will be able to wield a lightsaber - though it also said...
"Palpatine will be wielding his lightsaber, but sources have confirmed that his offense will rely heavily on Force lightning."
A'ight pople. Brace yourselves. . .
Sorgo, here is a list of Jedi you will see wielding lightsabers:
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Mace Windu
Count Dooku 🙂
Darth Vader OT
Darth Vader PT
Anakin Skywalker
Luke Skywalker
General Grievous
Yoda
Darth Sidious
Darth Maul (I know, WTF)
They each have the same basic abilities, such as a Force-powered leaping sprint, a high jump, etc. But instead of a secondary weapon, they have unique Force powers. Obi-Wan has Force-pull, Darth Vader, Force Choke, Sidious uses a lightning attack. . . the list goes on.
Secondly, they all possess combo attacks. Not like X, X, O; just holding down the 'fire' button initiates them.
The way they work is simple. Using new objective-based gameplay (destroy this, capture this, fight this), you can unlock for a one time use that level, a Jedi or Sith. There is a lightsaber at the bottom of the screen representing this special character's vitality. This depletes if your character is stationary and useless to your team under your conrol or if you accumulate enough damage. It can be replenished by killing enemies, capturing bases, etc.
Whew. Just go to Gamespot.com, and type in 'Battlefront 2' in the little Search bar on the left side.
never played Battle front, but i hope this one is going to be a major "corker", that would be funny if its in the game, the thrill of taking down the death star with your friends, and making the entire space flight harder to control, rogue leader had some good points, but the death star was to easy, you cruised through that ship, just to get to the power cores.
