STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT II TIPS & TRICKS
Unlimited hero or villain 1
Start Instant Action mode, choose your levels, but do not launch. Go down to the options, then go on "Hero". Change the options here as follows: Best Player, 4 Points, and the time for the hero to become available to 4 seconds. Your hero or villain can still die and the meter runs out, but you only need to kill four people for 4 points to unlock the hero or villain again. Also, if you get the points when you are playing as the hero or villain, when you die when playing as the hero or villain they still count as the points -- you can pick to play as them immediately.
Unlimited hero or villain 2
Go to Instant Action, select your levels, but before you start go to the options menu. Select "Hero" then change options to Best Player, Time Limit 1 second, and the time for hero to become available to "Always". You can start the game selecting the hero, and when you die you can pick them again immediately.All hero battle:
Unlimited hero or villain 3
Go to Instant Action mode and pick Mos Eisley as your level and Assault as the game type. When you begin the game you should be able to pick between heroes and villains and fight as any of "Hero" type character classes with no time limit.
Easy space battle kills
First, ensure that the enemies shields are down, then select a soldier with a blaster rifle. Take a fast ship and fly directly into the docks (it has a blue film over it), land, and get out. All of the enemies will be lightly armed because they are pilots. Open fire. Most will not return fire. Also, most enemy ship have an objective to destroy inside them.
Easy space battle kills
Lock on to a structure such as the life support system or bridge. Make a preliminary strafing run straight along the ship. After passing the target, pull up with full thrusters. When the targeting arrow goes from the front of the screen to the back of the screen, decrease all engine power. Continue pulling back until you see the target. Line up with the target and do a half roll. This maneuver will allow you to make several runs, unloading on the target and avoiding as much enemy fighters as possible.

General Strategies 1
The center command post is always a good offensive position.
General Strategies 2
Use your units' advantages. If you are facing a lot of enemies, use the trooper unit. If you are up against vehicles, use heavy weapons.
General Strategies 3
Use the right unit for the right level. For example, use an engineer for lots of turrets/vehicles. Use snipes for high places with little cover below.
General Strategies 4
Always keep moving, because if you stop, you are a prime target for snipers.
General Strategies 5
Use vehicles a lot, as they keep you safe, you get lots of points with them, and some are much faster than walking.
General Strategies 6
When in vehicles, fill them up. The more weapons you can have going at once, the better.
General Strategies 7
Kill the most threatening units first. For example, if in a vehicle, take out the heavy weapons units.
General Strategies 8
Check out an area before you go into battle, so you see the turrets and other dangerous areas.
General Strategies 9
Use tactics, as charging into battle usually does not work.
General Strategies 10
Use cover a lot, such as rocks, logs, walls, water, and even grass.
General Strategies 11
If you are taking a CP, try to stand next to a health droid.
General Strategies 12
If you are having trouble defeating enemies, try to take out the enemy in ones and twos. This will get you a lot further, and you will come out with a lot more health.
General Strategies 13
If you are finding something difficult, play on the Hard difficulty setting for a few battles. When change back the difficulty setting, things should seem a bit easier.
General Strategies 14
Go with allies everywhere you go. Allies = firepower = enemies die = easy CP's = you win.
Break the ground with Mace Windi
Jump and press Fire. You should go down and break the ground, sending anyone around you flying.
Easier completion of Tantive IV mission
In the mission on Tantive IV (blockade runner), the first and last objective are very difficult. At the start, once the door explodes and opens, use your thermal detonators. Get to the CP and keep dodging bullets and firing while standing near the CP until it is turned to your faction. This may take a few attempts, but it will work. Use Darth Vader after you have captured it. Use a regular Stormtrooper to take care of Leia. She should be around where you started the level. Use your grenades to soften her up, then your rifle to finish her off.
Jango Fett comment
Select the Kamino map and set the hero counter to whatever desired, then wait until you can play as Jango Fett. A Clone will exclaim "Its Jango Fett! And he's brought his head!", referring to the scene in Star Wars: Episode 2 - Attack Of The Clones, when he was decapitated during the assault on Geonosis.

Easy tank kills
Place proximity mines on the tanks (Vanguard, Heavy Trooper, Shock Trooper) and any other kind of vehicle, except for the assault vehicles such as the AT-TE. A more difficult way is to use a sniper technique. Fire from a safe location. Target the vehicle, wait until the reticule turns red, then fire. Another useful bombardment unit is any that carry a recon droid. Their self-destruct mechanism makes them a formidable bombardment unit.
Easy Slicing points
Sneak aboard the Rebel capital ship and wait by the Y-Wing until someone gets in it. Then, use your torch to slice into it. You can cause it to explode if in the air, getting points in the process. Repeat this as many times as desired.
Yoda cant be hurt.
While playing a map with yoda and bodies of water run him towards guys in the water and they will shoot at you but since yoda is so short the water is like a shield.
