We all love Star Wars Battlefront, right? I feel as though it’s not necessary that I clarify that statement, but just in case you can’t tell where I’m coming from; we all love Star Wars Battlefront, circa 2004-2005, right?You’re damn right we do.From memories of plowing our way through Rebels as Imperials, or detonating Droids as Clone Troopers, the original pair of Battlefront games are shining jewels in the largely faded Star Wars crown.I’m not here to hit you with my super spicy hot take or anything like that, but I do have an opinion about the franchise I would like to touch on before we get to the rest of this piece. Raise your hand if you think Star Wars Battlefront (2004) is better than Star Wars Battlefront II (2005).Why? Well, Star Wars Battlefront Classic (herein and henceforth referring to Battlefront 2004) brings a more competent experience in my eyes. Whereas Battlefront II has more stages, improved visuals, more vehicles, space battles and playable hero characters. The problem is that it’s also packing fairly poor AI that didn’t put up too much of a fight, even on Elite difficult; you had to unlock the class you wanted to play as in multiplayer; playable hero characters broke certain maps because of choke points, and when you started to get a kill streak going, you would often unlock upgraded weapons that actually suck because of their unique play style.Battlefront Classic on the other hand has vicious AI that can kick ass on even the medium settings. Snipers regularly land headshots; vehicle repair crews get a hustle on and fix up damaged skimmers and walkers; rocket troopers focus their fire on enemy vehicles while trusting their mid-long range allies to keep them safe; Wookies tank damage and go nuts with their Bowcaster and Grenade launcher. Clone jet troopers are one of the Republic classes in the 2004 video game Star Wars: Battlefront and its 2005 sequel, Star Wars: Battlefront II. Clone troopers using jetpacks have appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series, but nothing has connected these troops to the jet troopers. During Star Wars Battlefont I, the Jet Trooper's EMP Launcher has an EMP grenade explosion effect instead of the Star Wars Battlefront II rocket effect. Surprisingly nether phase of Jet trooper has a Kama on their in-game models. This is unusual as kamas are to protect the back of the legs form exhaust fumes from jetpacks or heavy weapons. Raise your hand if you think Star Wars Battlefront (2004) is better than Star Wars Battlefront II (2005). Well, Star Wars Battlefront Classic (herein and henceforth referring to Battlefront 2004) brings a more competent experience in my eyes. Whereas Battlefront II has more stages, improved visuals, more vehicles, space battles. What makes this better is the fact that every unit is available from the get go. It’s Droids vs Clones on Kashyyyk Docks: you want to grab a Jet Trooper and make for the back base immediately, Commando Pistol kicking out bolts of energy as you go? Well you can do that! None of that, unit capped, “you need X amount of kills to unlock this class” nonsense that bogged down Battlefront II.Everyone is on an even playing field; everyone has the same faction-specific equipment, and in the name of an iconic Clone Trooper, everything is “just like the simulations.” The only thing that makes you better than anyone else, is your skill.That is, until you step into the modern day, where EA looms over the Star Wars Battlefront property. Whereas the classic Battlefront games are skill-based and all tools are available to all players from the very beginning, the EA Battlefront titles were created around a levelling system that includes loot boxes and weapon variations. In previous titles, because of how they changed combat, despite their limited nature.Right now, if you go to Steam, you can get Star Wars Battlefront Classic for £7.19; Battlefront II also goes go for £7.19. Now that’s a pretty great deal no matter how you slice it, and these two games go down below £3 when on sale. So even though you may have a preference for one over the other, both can be nabbed for the price of an okay-ish sandwich when on sale. There’s a lot of gaming to be had with those games; the super low price is just gravy.If you go to Origin, however, you can get Battlefront II for £3.99 per month / £19.99 per year as part of Origin access Basic. Or you could go for Origin Premium, that’s only£14.99 per month / £89.99 per year. But hey, you can still get Battlefront Classic for £7.19.Now, what about those new Battlefront games. The EA Battlefront games. You know the ones, right? The games that sparked industry-wide controversy and debate while also forcing some countries to actually investigate the legality of their loot boxes, with one U.S. Senator recently putting forward legislation that would outright ban loot boxes? ![]() Those games, yeah.Well if that will cost you £8.99 for the base version of EA’s Battlefront, then you can start to heap on your paid DLC, expansions, and in-game microtransactions. EA’s Battlefront 2? That’s cheaper, at £7.49; then you can start to heap on your paid DLC, expansions, and in-game microtransactions.Now, forgive me if I sound rooted in the old mentality of buying games, but I like to buy a game and play it. Jet Trooper (Republic Aerial Assault Troopers)Basic InfoType:SpecialAffiliation:Unit DetailsWeapons:Secondary Weapon:Grenades:Other:The Jet Trooper is one of the two special that only the can access. The they possess lets them fly for a short period of time allowing them to cross maps with ease. The Jet Trooper's is a deadly weapon, against both droids and humans. The they also are equipped with has a much faster firing rate than the original blaster pistol. If the is achieved, this unit can be very formidable. Overall this class can change the tide of any battle, if played right.Also, unlike most other units, the Jet Troopers, along with of the empire, can survive a long fall without taking any damage. The phase II variant, from all Battlefront II maps excluding.Tactical Analysis. Jet Troopers have high speed and a jetpack, which provides great mobility. However, it has low health, rendering it weak against enemy snipers. Jet Troopers have EMP Launchers. These are most effective against groups of enemies, especially well dug-in groups, as the explosive nature of the projectile makes the cover superficial. A Jet Trooper's strength lies in the unit's mobility. With low health, it is not suited to meeting enemies head-on. However, co-ordinated with ground-based attacks, an enemy group will find themselves having to defend from two angles. A Jet Trooper's jetpack allows them to fly in any direction. Jet Troopers can also fly up to tactical positions to get a better angle on opponents. When a Jet Trooper runs out of EMP Launcher ammo, they can use the to great effect, especially if from an unexpected angle, which could award them with the, a must-have for the Jet Trooper. After a couple of seconds, a Jet Trooper can fire their held weapon while flying. Aiming takes some practice but retaliation is difficult.Trivia. During Star Wars Battlefont I, the Jet Trooper's EMP Launcher has an EMP grenade explosion effect instead of the Star Wars Battlefront II rocket effect. Surprisingly nether phase of Jet trooper has a Kama on their in-game models. This is unusual as kamas are to protect the back of the legs form exhaust fumes from jetpacks or heavy weapons. There is a glitch that happens on all Battlefront games where the Phase One Jet trooper's green markings disappear for a range of two seconds. Originally the Jet Trooper had dark blue colour markings on their armour, and was armed with a as opposed to it's green markings and EMP Launcher in the final game. This can be seen in the Star Wars Battlefront I trailer and in the gallery below. In this skin can be seen in a cutscene on the Cato Neimoidia Mission.Gallery. Mount and blade money.
