After reinstalling my old Xbox, the first game I wanted to play was SWB2 (I don't own the original) because of my fond memories of the game. After playing it again since such a long time, I realised that this game is a gem, the same way I had an epiphany with BFME2.
For those unaware, this is a very unique game that was built for extreme multiplayer, but even alone, it's incredibly fun. Maps are various planets or space battles that all have unique features to them and individual atmospheric environmental additions. You can choose from different classes of troops that have unique weapons made for special purposes, whether they're destroying vehicles or sniping infantry, they all have their perks and balances while still being fun.
After choosing a class, you can spawn at a command point, which is a small light located in a strategic area on the map, where other troops spawn at. The goal is capture ever command point by standing near them for awhile, almost like a King of the Hill mode in another game. The enemy team will do the same. Almost every time, I end up killing all of the enemy reinforcements before capturing all of the command points, which is more fun anyways.
Some other special mechanics exist, like space battles, heroes, in-battle awards, and all of the various game modes, but those just add layers of fun to a fundamentally amazing game. Anyone who has it knows how enjoyable this game is.
The new Battlefront by EA better be good...
