Star Wars: Battlefront II/Hoth

Hoth
This level is one of the more unique, and is a hard, yet rewarding battle for either side. The only era this may be played in is the Galactic Civil War. The Empire leader is Darth Vader, while the Rebellion leader is Pilot Luke Skywalker (basically the same, just wearing a flight suit). This is the Rebel Base planet during Galactic Conquest.

The Empire has two AT-AT's which can respawn, but take a while to do so. The Rebellion has some snowspeeders to combat these AT-AT's. More info on these vehicles can be found in the Vehicle Descriptions.

Another interesting point to make is that the shield generator functions as a command point, and can actually be destroyed, therefore disallowing any units to spawn there. The AT-AT's are best at destroying these, as even a lightsaber has a difficult time destroying this. The Empire cannot capture this command post, only destroy it entirely.

One method for the Empire is to get on a Tauntuan and solo capture the bunker cp. Doing so stops snowspeeders from spawning, a key aspect of the rebel's strength. You can even pilot one to destroy the remaining snowspeeders.

Two command point mark the two entrances to Echo Base, which is one long winding tunnel. Any confrontation in Echo Base will be almost impossible to escape. Two other command points are a bunker a little ways away and in a field furthest from Echo Base by the AT-AT's. These last two are the Empire's beginning points, while the first two and the generator are the Rebels' beginning points.

Another unique feature is the change in appearance of the units. Stormtroopers become snowtroopers and rebel soldiers are in snow attire. Their abilities are the still the same.

Finally, throughout the battlefield are a large number of turrets that are exclusive to Hoth, and information on these can be found in the Vehicles section.
