My personal canon is that the narrator is a stormtrooper captured during the battle of Endor and is being interrogated. The Empire has lost and he's old. He doesn't mind sharing the atrocities he committed, and that's why he emphasizes Hoth as his best day.

I think the Narrator survived after the battle of Hoth, because he was talking about the building of the 2nd Death Star in the outro of the Hoth mission. He probably just retired because of his age.

The one thing from the PSP version that I wish was in the main versions was this bounty hunter mode. You would play as a rogue phase 1 clone and were given missions to kill certain targets, which ranged from all the factions. Sometimes you would have to kill clone targets, stormtroopers, specific rebels, etc. It was pretty dope imo

When landing in a transport with full troop slots, you have to land over and over again so it fully empties. If you don't, the copilot becomes the pilot and he then flies the transport directly into a hanger wall, killing everyone and wasting your time.

for the "hoth campaign section", I believe that area is open for the hunt mode

At 8:20 he talks about how the AI gets stuck at that one spot in naboo. No joke I swear to God this is real. I was playing a gungan hunt on either Battlefront 2 or Battlefront 1 but my entire team was looking for the gungans and the time was about to run out or something I don't remember that part very well but I do remember the next. So I was searching for 5 to 10 minutes with no hope thinking that all the gungans didn't spawn in from a glitch... No... I turned the corner and I see all 16 gungans starring at me in a little, closed off from 3 sides, section and out of pure fear I threw a grenade and dipped, I then heard a loud thud cut short by none other than the victory screen

If you make a part 3, include the fun fact that in Hoth Hunt, if you play as rebel engineer and go through/over the interior and get to the destroyed shield generator, it's possible to repair it and create a separate spawnpoint so the wampas could be attacked from two sides. Not something a lot of people who played that map know about.

The main reason for the Hoth mission being last was because it was the last big victory the Empire had in canon at the time. Nothing major happened later in Episode V and ROTJ was the Empire losing for the most part.

On Yavin 4 you can get to the top of the pyramid with jet trooper. You can also get on top of the parts of kamino above the clone generators and where obi wan jumps down to fight general grievous. On the map where clones die in the space from lack of oxygen and need tanks to survive there, there will always be 2 or 3 droids hanging near the 2nd command post but not actually there just by the window. On Kamino killing the clone generator things will reduce the clone's count faster regardless of which team did it. Once the units get to 16 if you do not die you'll be the last unit alive. If you die then the AI will ruin it for you. I used to set the unit counters to 750 and wait for mine to deplete to 1 and solo everyone on the hardest difficulty. If you get units to follow you and turn fast enough you'll see a lower graphical rendering of the units which looks funny and out of place. There are on the ps2 version of battlefront 2, command codes you can put into the controller to get some very funny effects. Some include god mode but one of my favourites was the black droideka which flashes multicoloured or remains black depending on your terrain. I still have these commands written down on a piece of paper into the CD case there are at least 12 if I remember rightly. If you keep taking off and lowering ur spaceship in a space battle it will eventually leave the hanger and continue to go down for eternity. In some maps, because of balancing issues snipers will regularly just camp at one of the safer command posts and not fight for most of the game. In other maps units will camp at certain places where combat is very unlikely in order to make the match more fair if that side has an advantage. Going straight for the command post that the enemy starts with will make both teams AI spawn on opposite sides most of the time. Destroying the jedi books/green area on coruscant will change how units spawn for the rest of the game and which turrets they will camp and which command posts they will go for. On hoth hunter matches you can as the rebels actually kill the yetis and get to the rebel hanger where they spawn. You can keep going and use the rest of the hoth map which is pretty much intact. The shield generator has a turret and you can spam attack their spawn but they will only come to you if you get close enough. If you get close to them you can lure them away from their spawn and other rebels will start to go to their spawn. Usually the yetis will dominate so hard that nobody gets there. In space battles you can actually repair your shield generator but it takes such a long time. Sometimes engineers will prioritise going into vehicles instead of spam repairing them they will use them until they are low health then hop out and repair them but usually they get killed before they can repair to 100% and go back inside. This ends up leaving a vacant vehicle that usually gets captured by enemies. (But enemies usually only go in faction controlled or neutral vehicles but not vehicles designated for the other faction even though it could be beneficial). On Yavin 4 there is usually a bunch of clone snipers near their original outpost near the cliff/waterfall. They will not react to the command post being taken over and will sit there all game. When you play as empire and rebels these snipers are not there in any form (likely because CIS is very overpowered against clones). Heavy troopers will usually just use their laser pistol and rarely use their rocket launcher however if they see a droideka shield they will usually use the heavy launcher but they normally go right up close to the droideka causing them to kill themselves and a bunch of clones near them. Dark troopers will randomly kill their own side by spamming lightening which stuns and damages the group if one enemy is there. Engineers will give you health if you get low or ammunition. But do not actually do it for other AI units because their ammo is unlimited. They also shoot in units of 3 and do not spam like the player can (which gives reduced accuracy). Sometimes enemies will roll into a fall and fall to their deaths. Sniper class AI are more likely to take over turrets than any other unit. (despite the factor the sniper rifle is actually better for taking out enemy turret users). Running around turrets will cause the AI to keep spinning around and never catch up to you, but sometimes they will get fed up and leave the turret and spam explosives causing you, them and the turret to explode. Sometimes when you tell a unit to follow you they will ignore your command and 5 minutes later will randomly come and follow you from a far away location. The best followers are not those with AOE or explosives because they don't care about walls or other members of your party (with max medals you can go from 1 follower to 4). Destroying the shield generator on hoth affects ship spawns and makes the rebel counter deplete faster. They aren't actually shields at all though because you can't have a space and land battle at the same time. Engineers will not repair shield generators on hoth or space battles (pilots) despite being able to do so and it being beneficial to do so. Sometimes enemies get stuck in hoth trenches for the whole game. Sometimes enemies get stuck in cover (more prevalent in hoth tunnels where they are coded to only leave cover after an enemy appears but if both command posts are yours and no enemy appears they will remain there stuck waiting for one). Putting down a mine as a heavy trooper will trick them into thinking it is an enemy if placed in the spot they expect them to come. They may sometimes think it is also a command post if the enemy has captured one nearby and try to stand on it, consequently blowing themselves up. On death star there is a secret passageway but units will only use it if the bridge's control panel is destroyed. Engineers will sometimes repair the control panels but it is annoying if you want it closed off on purpose. There is also a control panel near the wall crushing room with the broken vent but it seems to do nothing (maybe a door that used to lock unless repaired in time that never got into the final game). On Jabba's palace AI will randomly fall down the trap door but the monster sometimes will not eat them and they will be out of range and remain stuck there all game. But if a guard finds them they will be killed. Jet troopers and dark troopers can actually use their height advantage in a lot of places in a lot of maps to camp and snipe enemies from relative safety but most of them use it only when they need to go somewhere long distance. This sometimes causes them to run out of fuel and fall in places they can't escape from due to bugs or fall to their death. Sometimes when a hero/villain spawns they will use quotes from another hero/villain. Sometimes AI will look at each other for a long time before realising they are on the same team and then walk into each other and awkwardly run to cover like nothing happened. Sometimes AI destroy the healing and ammo bots on purpose. Sometimes engineers get stuck in a cycle of destroying and repairing them non stop. In essence, the AI of this game is just hilarious. It's so random and bad and funny that every game is just unique and different depending on so many variables. Hope you enjoyed these little experiences of my time playing as a kid.

I love that Battlefront 4 concept art. It's so COOL!

Just a couple I thought of: 1. Using the technique to get out of the capital ship, if you do it on Space Mygeeto as the republic, you can jump down onto an Acclamator 2. One of the major differences between ports of the game is that on the PS2 version, the AI will not become heroes in the conquest gamemode 3. On Hoth, the AI will not go through the tunnel from command post 3 to command post 4 unless the shield generator is destroyed 4. Map bias. On most maps, there's a bias towards specific teams due to command post placement (Polis Massa) or local wildlife (Kashyyyk, Endor, etc) not counting towards the reinforcement count 5. Clutch mechanic. There's a mechanic that causes the AI to get slightly better the more their team is losing 6. Sniping/Landmine spots. There are specific locations where the AI will snipe and place landmines. 7. Hero AI prefers ranged attacks. Not really a secret but the hero AI will prioritize ranged attacks such as saber throw or force lightning which will oftentimes leave them exposed 8. Mace Windu's attack cycle is trash. Again, not a secret but mace windu's attack combo is really bad and misses a lot 9. In the campaign, the cutscene of anakin and obi-wan walking together is said to be them on the capitol ship, but it's actually mustafar 10. At the time, they didn't have a canon bomber for the republic or CIS so they used the v-wing and grievous's ship from episode 3 11. "Hidden" areas. There are a lot of parts of maps where the AI won't go, but are still accessible such as the catwalk system on Utapau and secondary walls on Kashyyyk 12. Rebel Rage. Rebels have a unique thing that will cause them to shoot dead bodies with a pistol. 13. Knightfall Anakin. Again, not a secret but in the mission Knightfall you play as a unique skin of anakin with his hood up. I think it's also worth noting that there strangely isn't a light side anakin 14. Squad commands. You can give orders to troopers to follow you, get in vehicles, etc. It's somewhat well known but there's nothing in the game to tell you you can do it. 15. Destroyable panels. There are 2 control panels on the death star that remove walkways when destroyed as well as a few others on other maps

I think it’s be interesting if the narrator was killed at the Battle of Endor. He talks about the second Death Star and seems confident that the Empire has won, but then was taken by surprise and killed, not being able to write a journal entry about the battle

Also, repairing the shield generator is definitely a waste of time if you're alone, but completely viable if you're with other people because multiple people can repair the shield much faster than it can be destroyed. Definitely requires a team to communicate though, so it's still really uncommon.

Something that I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't know about this game is the squad commands: I'm not sure how to do it on PC, but on Xbox you have to look at an ally and press up on the d pad (in vehicles you don't have to look at anyone). The number of troops you can have following you at a time depends on your profile's rank, unlike Battlefront 1. Also unlike BF1, you can't reliably choose your commands, since BF1 gives you a specific command on each direction of the d pad.

Nice video! Here are some more facts that you may or may not know off the top of my head: In Coruscant you can still see Republic and CIS ships fighting in the sky during Operation: Knightfall and when playing in the Galactic Civil War era. Also, the minimap displays the the Jedi Council chamber as being the northern-most CP across all game modes EXCEPT, inexplicably, for Clone Wars Conquest mode where the map has been rotated 180 degrees making that the southern-most CP instead. On Dagobah, Luke’s crashed X-Wing is replaced with a LAAT Gunship if you play in the Clone Wars era In Felucia’s campaign mission, the section where you have to defend the damaged AT-TE from droids doesn’t require any player input to beat. Just vibe for 1-2 mins and you can then do the next task afterwards. On Geonosis CTF, the Republic are given IFT-X tanks instead of an AT-TE. This is likely a reference to Pandemic Studios’ previous Star Wars title _Star Wars: The Clone Wars_ (no, not that one lmao) In Mos Eisley, it’s possible to phase through the wall of the arena at CP5. On top of the platform next to the barge if you jump north-westward you should be able to clip through and be inside the wall, allowing you to shoot at enemies that can’t shoot you back due to the wall protecting you! Also on Mos Eisley there’s a crazy bug in Hero Assault that’s only possible on console. It’s too long to describe in a KZfaq comment but if you google ‘neoseeker SWBF2 mos eisley super glitch’ there’s a complete explanation there and as wacky as it reads, it’s all true. On Mygeeto’s campaign mission, you can get the Mygeetian crystals by going through a hole above the shield wall as a Jet Trooper or KI-Adi-Mundi, meaning you don’t need to destroy those power generators to get past the shield. Also on Mygeeto’s campaign, there is another shield wall with destroyable power generator to the East of CP3 despite there being nothing there to do. Another fact about Mygeeto is that they switch out the AT-RT for the IFT-X in instant action for some reason. On many maps there are destroyable / repairable drawbridges including 2 in the Death Star. But arguably the most impactful drawbridge is the one on Mustafar between CP0 and CP5. The controls are operated on CP5 and can be used to force the opposing team into a siege at CP0 if all other CPs belong to your team. On Naboo, the map has been rotated 180 degrees compared to it’s SWBF1 counterpart. Also despite the fountains being changed from circular in SWBF1 to square in SWBF2, they are still shown as circles on the minimap. On Tantive IV, if you play as an engineer and destroy and repair the generator at CP4, it’s a fast-fire way of getting the Reward Shotgun very quickly. Also, if you display the full map on Tantive IV, all the unit icons are pointing backwards despite the fact that the minimap display on the top-right shows that pointing forwards. On Utapau’s campaign, if you’re fast enough, after capturing the platform it’s possible to force push Grevious off the ledge and into the bottomless pit behind him. In Space, not only can you repair the Shield Generator, but you can do so from _behind the shield generator room door._ As long as you aim your fusion cutter vaguely in the direction of the generator, the health bar should show up, allowing you to regenerate it’s health! If you hold the sprint button just as the stamina bar reaches the end, you can perform an infinite sprint glitch. It does take some practice but it is a strat used by speedrunnera for the game. If you hold down the secondary fire button with a detpack then let go, it will be thrown across a larger distance. Yoda is the only force user to be able to jump 5 times in a row - all others either jump 4 times in a row or float (Vader or Emperor) If the character you play as has a fusion cutter (i.e. Engineer Class, Han Solo, theoretically Pilot Class) then they will not be affected by mines unless someone else on your team (that has no fusion cutter) steps on it. Fusion cutters can also be used to remove mines without the use of explosives! When playing as an engineer class or Dark Trooper, every time you fire there’s a small recharge time indicated by some red squares on the inner reticule. If you jump or do a roll after firing, it cancels out that recharge completely allowing for some fast firing! If it wasn’t obvious, SWBF2 2005 is my favourite game of all time lmao

One of the psp battlefront games I owned was really solid. The story mode was unique. It was the one where the 2 clones were raised to be Jedi and eventually gave each other in the end. You could also customize the armor of the armies you controlled as well. I’m pretty sure it’s one of the two you mentioned before, but I have very fond memories with that game

I was surprised you didn't mention the different hero skins in the game. Pilot Luke and Anakin with a cape being the only ones that comes to mind.

My personal belief as a kid was that it ended on Hoth because it's a triumph for them. It's revenge for the Death Star. After Hoth the war turns in the rebels favor. Endor was an embarrassing defeat for the Empire and if the clone survived I'm sure he wouldn't want to revisit that. Love the video!

Having played the psp version of the game for years when I was a kid, I've managed to glitch my way through a lot of it to find hidden details. One glitch I could only ever do once was glitching into the interior of a capital ship and I can definitely say that the interior ship systems are still there and can be shot and destroyed. However, the actual ship interior hallways aren't present so the systems are just floating around in the general area you'd find them in the original game.

7:36 I think the theory is referring that maybe the clone died at the battle of Endor, since we know that’s where tons of stormtroopers died to the Ewoks and the second Death Star was destroyed, making the empire lose the war, and since he died at Endor, he couldn’t record journals for that battle

That Naboo map bug is fixed in the Battlefront 2 Remaster Project mod. Just an FYI. I absolutely hated that bug because I often played the Republic and they always get stuck in that corner. It's much more playable with the remaster project mod.

Idk if anyone has mentioned this but the one game mode on Hoth, rebels v wampas, the map is that back unused section of hoth. Rebels have to hold out an evacuation timer and defend escape transports. Playable wampas is a blast.

One big thing you could add or talk about is the massive list of cheat codes that you can use in the game. You can be invincible, infinite ammo, remove HUD, have alternate soldiers, add comic noises and slow motion, and other things I don’t remember. Is very interesting and is worth putting in here.

If you look up while tossing any under-hand deployable (Mines, Satchel, auto-turret, etc.) you will throw it further. The faster you are looking up, the more distance you will get. While playing dark trooper, you can reset the cooldown on firing your LG by either jumping or rolling. You will be able to shoot again as soon as you land.

The first tier of the iceberg being basic information is actually really important for newcomers like me. I've literally played Battlefront II once at a friend's house, and just watched this out of curiosity because the KZfaq gods deemed it suitable for my viewing pleasure and I cna only obey the whim of my corporate overlords.

I always thought that the narrator didn’t die, but rather there would be no point in continuing the story after Hoth. From the movies, that’s the last victory for the empire(as far as I know). So continuing to fight for the empire after hoth, would just be you doing the missions and laying wastes to hundreds of rebels, just for you to end up losing the battle in the end anyway. It would’ve been cool if the story continued to show how much the empire was struggling near the end of the war

The rancor glitch thing can also be done by falling into one of the bottomless pits in the Death Star or any other place with bottomless pits and hitting respawn right before the point at which the game would kill you

I am not sure if it is on the PC version but on the Ps2 version of the game I remember on Kamino during the campaign there was a secret command post on top of one of the buildings. It was invisible however. Also there was one on the hunt mission on Hoth if you decide to try to walk the area. I could be wrong with the Hoth one however.

I don't think the 'ice cube' thing is dumb but actually a good way to make an addendum/appendix to iceberg videos since they're now a whole subgenre. Not sure what else to say other than you're required to start out with a terrible mic setup as part of your rite of passage as a yootoober. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Havent seen it mentioned but there's a web series on youtube called 'A Clone Apart' which was made within SWBF2. The creators made a really interesting story, with enjoyable characters and great humour. Totally deserves a spot on any Battlefront Iceberg

That bit on the Naboo map always happens to me when I play as the empire, makes killing rebel scum that much easier

The back side of the Hoth map is also used in the Wampa Hunt gamemode

The group glitch on naboo is probably just where the developers had a hallway there but decided to seal it off. back then, AI pathfinders had to be mapped out manually to tell the AI where they can and cannot go. So it is very likely that whoever sealed off the hallway didnt tell the AI developers about it.

Fireworks on naboo. I don't remember how (it was something very specific on how to trigger them) but fireworks on naboo

I loved renegade squadron and elite squadron, they both played super well and the character customization in terms of weapons and looks etc was solid

If I had to take a guess, I think the reason the AI huddles around that one area on Naboo is because there might have originally been a path there you could enter but was later blocked off improperly.

The PSP version of Elite Squadron is definitely more faithful to the classic Battlefront formula. The DS version is almost completely different in gameplay while PSP plays like the other games

noticed when you fly the bomber you aim for the critical modules on the star destroyers /battleships when the shield is still up... but you can actually cause damage to the shield every on the out side, so no need to fly around and maneuver, just mash the bomb drop button and fly over the ship

I kinda miss the glitches where you can glitch into a wall. Like in Jabbas palace or the Deathstar where Pyramids are hidden. Would be interesting to know why they're there and if there's a mystery behind it or just a random easter egg left by the Devs of the game.

I played the PSP renegade squadron a lot as a kid and being able to customize your soldier was so fun. I wish they would’ve done more of that in the newer games. I remember only using the tri-shit pistol and a lot of power ups instead of running a primary weapon and thinking it was awesome. Really underrated and I wish they would’ve ported it to a console

That wall corner glitch has the clones looking like the wall worshipers from AOT. 😂😂😂

For the shield, it would make a lot more sense in a multiplayer match where you can have 4 or so players all repair the shield at once, thus making it very difficult to actually destroy any subsystems without boarding so long players always keep it in tact. Of course, if you're just playing Instant Action it matters less.

Coming off of reading the Republic Commando series by Karen Travis, I feel like maybe the intention for the narrator's (and other clones') long lifespan could be because they were able to slow or halt the accelerated aging process. There's multiple hints throughout the book series about how some of the other Clone Masters would create clones for manual labor (mining mostly) where they would accelerate their aging, then 'switch it off' once they were at their physical peak. So a clone could be aged from 0-20 in about 5 years. Then they could live the rest of their life aging normally for the next 50-60 years. Of course there were multiple drawbacks for this type of cloning, which explains why the Kaminoans were considered the best in the business, but still allowed their soldiers to continue aging faster than normal. Also, another excellent video. Subbed.

I remember finding the rancor glitch when I was playing as a kid. I went to school the next day and told my friends and they went home and tried it. I felt so cool

Man a Star Wars 'What If...?' series would be amazing, not just for those amazing allegiance-flipped characters, but even stuff like: - What if Fives succeeded in whistleblowing the inhibitor chips? - What if Qui-Gon survived Naboo? - What if Anakin beat Obi-Wan? - What if the Death Star destroyed Yavin? And the one I'm most curious about; What if Anakin sided with Windu against Palpatine? Would the clone wars continue without Sidius to round up the separatists and kill them off? Would Palpatine stand trial? If he is killed, did he have a contingency in place to activate order 66? Who would replace him? So many interesting directions to go

The main problem with the iceberg, which I assume that other commenter was trying to get at, is that nothing in it is particularly interesting. Most viewers aren't here to learn about Darth Maul's secret fourth attack, they want creepy/cool niche information. Even if legendary awards technically deserve their place on the iceberg since they're things not everyone knew, they're not interesting, and definitely not somewhat creepy.

In the event you choose to do a part 3, here's a few things I know about that you may consider doing part of the next part: 1. Cheat codes: There's cheat codes in I believe the xbox and playstation versions that allow you do have infinite ammo, invincibility, no hud, low-poly graphic mode and a few others that can be achieved by doing actions on the pause menu. 2. Similar to the Rancor Barf, on mos eisley, if you line up Chewbacca perfectly and blow him up on the corner of the ship within the big space port part of the map, you can glitch him into infinitely falling and spawn infinite drops. 3. This might be basic info, but if you speed up as fast as possible as a missile from the the gunships or Chewbacca's missle, then the explosion is much larger. I loved the videos man! Very insightful.

I'm an OG BF2 player and played this online during the PS2 days when it had a large community involving clans, competitive scrimmages, rivalries and drama etc. Haven't touched this game in almost a decade but this video alone brought so much nostalgia that I'm wanting to whip out my 360 and play it again.

two more pieces from me: 1) AI of the rebels often keeps shooting at dead bodies, standing right above them - I've never seen other faction doing it 2) you can damage droideka's shield by sprinting into it - that's if you're a Jedi, not sure about other units

I don't know if anyone else had this but I played on OG Xbox a long time ago (obviously) and I remember during space battles (mainly if I played clones but sometimes would happen with empire too) I would get absolutely spammed with voice over of "our shields are down!" Followed within 1 min+ silence with no backing track and then "our shields have been restored!" Because some of the AI seemed to just be in love with the shield generator. Walked in there once and it seemed to be a full on pilot/engineer party all playing with fusion cutters

You can also repair the auto turret system as well as the shields. These are the only two systems that don't award you points for destroying them, probably because you could farm points by repeatedly destroying and repairing the enemy's systems. Also, in your last video you mentioned the rebel soldiers and Spike Spiegel have the same voice actor. The stormtroopers are voiced by Lex Lang who also voices Goemon in the Lupin III series!

A few notes on Battlefront 4: The story wouldn't have been just a "switched alliance" kind of deal, but rather a "butterfly effect" story in which a few changes in the original story would lead to this darker path. Appatently these inflection points could have been Obi Wan never joining the light side, Dooku never leaving the Jedi and Palpatine never becoming a Senator. All these changes would have led to a timeline in which Vader and his children rule the galaxy with very little opposition, but eventually having Leia and Anakin redeemed. As for the gameplay, the team considered expanding the battleground maps to tell more effectively the new battles of this story, using larger portions of these alternative universe planets and continuing with the proposed BF3 "from ground to space" modality.

What about bug on some maps like Death Star, Tatooine that was used many times online - you could use a turret that sniper had in his inventory and go into the wall and block enemy from capturing a command post and shoot them while they were not able to see you

Two things I thought of that I didn’t see mentioned 1. Kit Fisto is based off of the original Star Wars: Clone wars and in the show his lightsaber is all fuzzy since he’s underwater. In the game, his lightsaber looks the same as if it is underwater. Another thing is his force orb he can throw. In the series we see him make these blue orbs in the water to throw at droids. I’m pretty sure this is where that mechanic comes from in the game since nobody else has this ability and hasn’t been seen in any other Star Wars content. 2. In the Death Star map you can actually go into the trash compactor. In the red hallway you can shoot the door open that Princess Leia does in A New Hope. From there you can go inside and walk around. Not sure if you can die from it, but the walls do squish together.

You can actually get a AT AT in that isolated area of Hoth, fun to see bots get confused while they spawn there. Fun fact you can repair the hoth shield generator too enabling its spawn again, and you can also do it in hunt mode you get an extra spawn point. Regarding that rancor pickups glitch, there's another one similar that's often used online on Tatooine mos eisley, if you spawn as chewbacca at the hangar and sprint/jump on the front of the parked sail barge you'll glitch and get stuck in it and die, but it will constantly generates pickups.

The whole point of the iceberg analogy is "whats hidden beneath the surface". The top is the part that is visible above the surface, whereas the rest of the icebergs body is hidden underneath the surface. So yes, you are absolutely correct that the "surface" top should be obvious conventioal information. The people who makes icebergs where all of the information displayed is obscure to some extent are the ones who never understoond icebergs anaologies in the first place. The commenter is the person in this case who actually doesnt get the premise

Another amazing video. I saw your first iceberg

Still a good addition to the whole topic! Thank you for your time and effort making this man

Many people dont know that you can give orders to friendly npcs and have them follow you around. I remember there being a death star out-of-bounds glitch. And engineer class abuse was the shit, with detpack lobbing and instant health/ammo regen with canisters.

I played the PSP and PC versions a ton back in the old days, still do from time to time. Something you can do in all versions of SWBF2 is glitching a ship into the structure of a capital ship, land on the roof and see everything top down. Normally this just mean you can shoot all the stuff and they can't shoot you but in the PSP version, you can see on the inside of capital ships that the engines, shield generator and life support systems exist but have no floor or wall or anything, they just float there. You can still destroy them from the inside, idk why they didn't just let you do it the normal way. There exists a modified PSP version that adds in some maps from the PS2 version of the game, it adds some normal maps and some campaign maps and they are fully playable. Geonosis is perfectly playable on a PSP, idk why it wasn't included, it is a lot of fun. The PSP also has a special bounty hunter mode that would have been fun on other versions. Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron were decent titles, I think the best part about them was that they had actual multiplayer over the internet. (Infrastructure mode for PSP fans) and it was great to have something like that. I guarantee you in the OG PSP SWBF2 had internet play I would have worn that PSP out three times as fast. You can repair the other internals in space battles, on PC version I know you can and doing that was actually what people did in multiplayer. It is just not as efficient in single player. On the Rancor glitch, you can do the same thing with Chewbacca in Mos Eisley assault mode, jump into the sail barge at the right angle on the bow and you will start the falling animation, respawn and the corpse will forever drop powerups.

One thing I've never seen spoken about... In the manual for the game at least on the Xbox version, on the page where it shows the map you can see that the command posts actually have names. Something which they don't in the full release.

I love these videos We will watch your career with great interest

Two more entires I would add are the farmboy luke skin still present in the manual for the pc version of the game & Jango Fett still using two blasters in the manual as well.

Don't know if someone else already commented this, but in hero assault on Tattoine, if you jump into the front of the sail barge in the hanger as chewie at exactly the right spot, he'll get stuck, start spinning and endlessly dropping supplies.

Yo are we not gonna talk about the fact that before we got Rouge One BF2 explains how the rebels got the death star plans by being captured and stealing the plans

One thing I like more about the OG is when ur down to the last trooper on ur team, there’s only one left. In BF2 multiple can still spawn which makes it harder to win since theres multiple Torres and only one has to die instead of there litterally being just one trooper left u have to keep safe

Fun fact if you are playing Operation Knightfall and all the enemies are removed from the map all the clones will line up. Did this on accident as a kid.

Another glitch similar to the rancor glitch happens on the mos Eisley Heroes versus Villains map. In the northwest corner of the map, behind one of the villains Command Post, along the west wall you see a gate and some support columns in the wall. There are two spaces in these columns to the left of that gate where you can fit your character in them. For I think the rightmost one, if you wedge your character in there they will start to do the falling animation. They will eventually die from falling for too long. If you get them to stay in that column then they will continuously drop health, ammo, and all the other drops you get from dying. This was on the xbox version of the game. You can kind of do it with standard Soldier characters, like a clone trooper or Droid, but I found that they don't often stay wedged in that column doing the falling animation. The body eventually falls out and they stop giving drops. I used to fit multiple characters in there to increase the drops. May work best with Jedi and Sith.

ctrl+w at the "lol global warming faaake" "joke"

your channel is not stupid, and we love you bro

Things I would add that you can add to the ice cube Along with being able to repair the shield generator You are also able to repair the life support system. It is extremely extremely slow but it is possible Also in one of the maps you are also able to glitch yourself into the damaged shield generator and actually somehow repair one of your support ships if it is still alive Though I think it's only for the CIS In polis masa the outside section that the tanks spawn and fight in Layla with her healing ability can aid her and a group of rebels into surviving a treck from your side of spawn to the enemies. The bothan spy can as well Any sith that can use force lighting or force choke can do it infinitly if you use it and then switch abilities while still holding the button. For characters that can use both makes whoever you aim it at die extremely fast There is a rank system which also allows you to command a set amount of soldiers per rank to follow you. Which works for every unit and every faction except heros Where the soldiers will be told to leave you alone. You can repair the shield generator on both Theory is that the story isn't being narrated by a single soldier specifically but by random soldiers throughout the journey and history of the 501st as the campaign is based on them and you play as a nameless soldier and when you die your another nameless soldier Which is why even though the 501st loses a lot of members or gets split into specific units as the campaign goes on you still have someone narrating it The game is entirely co op and can be played in split screen even the campaign last I checked. A light saber blocking can block all damage in a 180 degrees in front of them From blaster.shots to missles to a fucken At At There was also the storm trooper versions of luke and han solo in the code

A glitch I found on heroes vs villains allows you to make infinite heals. If you play general grevious and jump at the tip of jabbas sail barge, eventually you'll become stuck in it. If you do, and you respawn, he will float doing back flips dropping infinite loot. It's nice as you can actually heal and stay alive an entire game this way.

There was also another thing In one of the Loading Screens for Space Battles (i think it was in Conquest for the Empire/Rebellion) you can See what looks like a Capital Ship With 2 Hangars Im not sure and i have never found any information about it It looks like a Super Star Destroyer

Just wanna say I liked your battlefront iceberg because no one else did it, thanks for trying even though others didn't appreciate it... also I love how you called this one the ice cube hahaha

Omg why can't we have star wars battlefront 4 that looked awesome 👏 🙌👐👍 I want the game

The psp port makes so much sense now. I played it on psp as a kid then Xbox in college a decade later. There were so many things I remembered differently in my head and that explains it

here's an addition to your point at min 13:05. all kind of canisters (red - damage boost; brown - instant partial endurance refill ; blu - health; red grey and square - ammo; green - defensive buff) can be generated indefinetly: when killing yourself in certain positions, possible on certain maps, where you are stuck in an eternal falling animation and tumbeling (some houses on mos eisley and certain slopes) will have you continusly spill out these pick-upable items for the whole match, since the game thinks you are still dying while falling, even as you in your next life resupply and buff underneath. much quicker than going to droids or have the technician give you just health and ammo. furthermore your corpse spins faster and faster as the game progresses, but I never experienced any crash or issue due to too many items landing and glitching in the same area (played ps2 port for years). thought it would be fun to know for any1 PS: do you plan on writing something about particular bugs, glitches or level walls? things like the pyramids on the death star come to mind or indefinetly choking and zapping enemies as dooku or palpatine when you rapidly keep alternating your force ability while it is used on one enemy? I played for so long that the numbers of times i got every medal was of course legendary, but so large it blended into the written names of the medals, making them partly unreadable XD stuff you get easily like guardian was one of those medals.

12:50 another interesting way to pull off this effect is on maps where you can die by falling out of bounds you can blow yourself up and launch yourself off the map and because the grenade explosion is giving you a long death animation and you’re falling out of bounds you hit the kill barrier and then it spawns a bunch of stuff in the void. I used to go to the ledge by the dual lava bridge command point on Mustafar and launch my self and get to watch my body fall out of bounds and look up from under the map

At the map of Mos Eisley, North-West of the North Western command post, there is a part of the wall where you can jump into, and your character will start to fall until it dies, then continuing to fall and spin endlessly until the end of the match. While it looks funny, the corpse also spills out power and health pickups over time. it's perfect for a very quick power up and heal during the heroes versus villains Assault mode.

Adding on to my last comment, sometimes AI throw grenades at walls by mistake and kill a whole load of their own team which is really funny especially when you hear the droids shout "WATCH YOUR FIRE"

I mentioned it in the last video, and I know it’s not a popular opinion but Elite Squadron on the PSP will always be my favourite Battlefront. Sure the story was wacky but I loved the gameplay, especially being able to disable capital ships shields via an ion canon planetside or from space by damaging it enough to access the hanger. I think my favourite part after destroying an enemies capital ship (or failing to defend yours) was the fact you could use an escape pod to get back planetside and watch the ship explode from the surface or just escape via a ship. (It doesn’t end the game, just gives the enemy team a BUNCH of attrition points) Renegade Squadron wasn’t as good imo, but still solid.

We need the BattleFront 4. I want to say we can skip 3 but I want the original number three we were supposed to get.

Good job on these videos man!

The fact that Rise of The Empire ends on Hoth is interesting... Especially when you realize that Endor is a map you can play in Instant Action as well as Galactic Conquest (only in Civil War era). They could have had the ending of the campaign be where you had to fight a "what if" scenario where the Empire actually won on Endor, retaking the shield generator and preventing the shield for the Death Star II from falling. If you lost that mission, then the game would have a normal ending, however, if you won, you could see the "secret ending" and get something cool unlocked.

When I played through campaign as a kid I thought it ended at hoth because its called "Rise of the Empire" mode. Hoth is the last big win for the Empire in the original trilogy that has a map featured in the game. The next two places that storm troopers actually fight are Bespin and then Endor and Endor is the end of the empire. The story mode is supposed to be about how the Empire began and how they won in the end, so including their biggest loss as the last part doesn't make sense, where as ending at their greatest victory does make sense. Especially since the galactic senate was disbanded at the beginning of a new hope, and Hoth is their first victory after that it just made sense to me for the game to end at Hoth. Also its very likely that the narrator died in the battle of Endor considering every single storm trooper who was on the moon of endor died in that fight.

I know this vid is 6 months old. But I just want to point out that your channel is not stupid. You going out of your way with your time to make high quality videos is badass. There’s nothing whatsoever that could be stupid about that bros. Keep up the great ass work g

ive never seen this mentioned anywhere else, but you can actually repair the shield generators from the main room where the auto turret mainframe is located. if you go face the wall to the left of the door to the shield room there is a hitbox you can repair through the wall

If I may suggest an addition to these icebergs and ice cubes… There was a squad mechanic in Battlefront 2, at least when I played on PS2. Using the directional pad you could gather up to four friendlies to follow you, and order them to split off, fight, etc. etc. They would follow you into a vehicle too, and using the d-pad you could order passengers out of said vehicle or ask for people to come and get in. I think this mechanic depended on your progress in the game? It’s been a while. I mention this here since I’ve rarely seen people talk about it. It could have been part of the starfighter squadron mechanic that you said was scrapped.

Community mods have added all Battlefront and Battlefront 2 maps (oddly excluding Utapau, likely for graphical reasons), plus all beta, Xbox DLC and unused maps, along with some custom PC maps to the PSP port and it mostly runs fine! Though the community version lacks a campaign and the original port lacks most of the original campaign, it's actually really impressive for the PSP and probably preferable to most of the other ports.

you could have talked about the PSP mod project which makes it an entire different game. it gives you almost all BF2 and BF1 maps as well as multiple modded maps, the magma guard with the staff instead of that weird rocket gun and unique heroes. the best is you can play the battlefront psp mod on a phone with the ppsspp emulator. it makes it one of the best mobile games. the psp mod project is such a great project you should take a look at it!

You can also rack up a ton of kills in a few missions by quickly capturing all but 1 command post and speedrun to get the jedi/sith character and spawn camp to a very quick victory. This can be done on Polis Massa by spawn camping the upper left command post and also with Mustafar by camping the launch pad. With this I have a 33 kill death ratio for brags.

One thing I always used to do on Mos Eisley Heroes Vs. Villains was to jump up on one of the buildings and glitch to infinitely fall, then respawn but the character model would still be falling. You'd end up with a whole bunch of powerups just waiting to be picked up! Works in normal modes too, but you'll need some parkour to find one of the better ledge spots.

​ @Ciudad16 Isn't it kinda curious though, that there IS an Endor map in the game, that the developers might have intended to use for a final mission of sorts, though it could have been cut, most likely from the design documents for whatever reason. I do like how they at the very least, kept the map intact, it's really in my opinion, the only physical piece of evidence that supports my own theory.

#SecretHothArea This Area is also reachable in the hunt-mode, when you fight against or as the wampas. Even the rebel-transport is there. I fact, this time, the usual part of the Map seem to be blocked.

I read that the reason the campaign ends at Hoth is because you're playing as the 501st, and after the Battle of Hoth the 501st was relieved from duty as a reward for their service to the Empire. After the death of Palpatine and Vader and the destruction of the second Death Star at Endor, the former members of the 501st rejoined the Empire for revenge.

10:25 when you REALLY need to pee but youre the only rebel on the entire capital ship that knows how to use a damn fusion cutter

First tier is common knowledge, don’t worry about that guy. Most of us watching us have never played or watched these so we don’t have prior knowledge so a quick grasp and overview of what it is doesn’t harm anyone. Great vids keep up the good work!

I have a theory that after order 66 and the 501st is renamed into Vaders Fist he had the advanced aging reverse engineered to make sure his solders are still at peek physical performance would make a bit more sense when fighting on Hoth

The corner glitch when you’re losing a battle is clutch!

My guess with that random corner on naboo is that maybe there used to be a hallway there or staircase that led to the control port on the other side of the plazza, and the AI still thinks it there. Just a guess, could also just be because the AI is very old
