Star Wars Battlefront II

Star Wars Battlefront II Error creating thumbnail: File missing Boxart Release Date: 2017 Developer: Criterion Games, DICE, Motive Studios Publisher: EA Series: Star Wars Platforms: PC Xbox One Playstation 4 Genre: First-Person Shooter, Third-Person Shooter

The successor to 2015's Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Battlefront II brings the first- and third-person action shooter gameplay to the wider Star Wars universe, incorporating the Clone Wars of the original games and the First Order - Resistance War of the new trilogy. Published by EA and primarily the work of DICE, Battlefront II also features a single player story made directed by Motive Studios, and offline arcade and split screen modes for consoles.

Although the game lacked a season pass, the incorporation of microtransactions that allowed players to gain an advantage in gameplay upon the game's release was a huge subject of controversy (prompting government-level responses against gambling by Belgium, the Netherlands, and the US State of Hawaii). The system was quickly disabled and eventually overhauled to a linear progression system in the 2.0 patch. Unlike the last game, the multiplayer also incorporates a familiar four-class system of "Assault," "Heavy," "Officer," and "Specialist" and further refined specialty classes, vehicles, and heroes depending on the faction.

Many of the game's blasters are almost-identical virtual replicas of the prop weapons used in the films of the original trilogy, and a few of the new weapons created by DICE appear to have been based off of real-world small arms.

The following weapons appear in the video game Star Wars Battlefront II:

Blaster Pistols

BlasTech DC-17 (IWI Desert Eagle)

The default sidearm of the Grand Army of the Republic, the DC-17 is a large blaster pistol built on the frame of a Desert Eagle. The ARC Trooper special class dual wields a pair of DC-17s.

Blurrg-1120 (Luger P08)

The second unlockable pistol of the Officer class is the "Blurrg-1120" holdout blaster. Although it is a completely fictional design in default form, the "Reduced Recoil" upgrade replaces the original pistol grip with that of a Luger P08.

The Sonn-Blas SE-44 blaster pistol from The Sequel Trilogy appears in the game in two forms - the "SE-44," which is the model issued to First Order Officers and then the white-clad "SE-44C" model that is the final blaster unlock of the Officer class. Both are modeled off a Glock 17 in the FAB Defense KPOS carbine conversion chassis with the stock removed and a conical muzzle end.

BlasTech A280C/A280-CFE (MCG Replica M16)

Appearing as the default blaster rifle of the Rebel Alliance, the "A280C" now more closely resembles the M16-based blaster prop from Return of the Jedi although it has the tube frame stock of the StG-44 variant shown below. A sniper variant is also available to the Specialist class as its second blaster unlock, known as the A280-CFE.

BlasTech A280 and DLT-20A (StG-44)

The "A280C" from the previous game returns simply as the "A280" and is the first blaster unlock of the Assault class. It still closely resembles the StG-44-derived A295 rifle seen on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. The A280 also fires in three-shot bursts this time around. Bizarrely, the "Improved Cooling" specialization gives it a 20-round M16 magazine and the "Improved Range" specialization replaces the barrel assembly with that of a Karabiner 98k, cleaning rod included.

The Sturmgewehr 44-based DLT-20A Pulse Cannon also returns, this time as a conventional "Targeting Rifle" and issued to Rebel markswomen.

Corellian Arms CR-2

The "Corellian Arms CR-2" is a blaster seen in use by the Naboo Security Forces from The Phantom Menace and is the second unlock for the Assault trooper class. It is closely modeled off the Calico M950A and it's upgrades include parts from the other Calico series guns, including the collapsible stock and front sight from the M100 model.

M-45 Repeating Ion Blaster (M60)

NT-242 (Barrett M107)

The briefly-seen Barrett-based laser rifle from a bounty hunter in Maz's cantina in The Force Awakens is the final unlock for the Specialist class. It understandably deals high damage per shot and overheats after a few rounds, and can be upgraded to deal even more damage to vehicles with an ion-shot barrel.
