Star Wars: Battlefront II/A Line in the Sand

Hold the Beach Command Post for 3 minutes
This is arguably the hardest objective in this mission. First off, the objective is probably the easiest if you spawn as a Clone Trooper or an Engineer. While not absolutely necessary, hopping on one of the hovertanks will make your job easier too. "Beach Command Post" refers to the forward command post on the beach; the timer will start once you (or other friendlies) capture it. Then you have 20-30 seconds to brace yourself before the CIS assault begins. They will throw everything they've got at you (including all types of infantry except Droidekas, Tank Droids, STAPs, and Homing Spider Droids), so be prepared to defend against multiple onslaughts of enemies.





Don't bother spawning as a Heavy Trooper just to destroy the Tank Droids; your allies will focus their fire on them anyway. You need to make sure that a minimum enemy units make it onto the beach. If you see any enemy unit capturing the command post, jump out of your tank (if you're on one) and dash to the point to stop the capture. This is a long 3 minutes, and if you lose the command post, the level will be aborted.

Fall back to the Wookiee base
There's no definitive reason why this is even an objective. All you have to do is run back behind the shield wall.

Defend the Oil Refinery for 4 minutes
This can be tricky, but not if you know how to do it. Jump into the IFT-X parked near the walkway leading to the upper platforms and sit in clear view of the main entrance to the area. Use both your primary and secondary weaponry to demolish any enemy units that attack. This is a suicide mission, no doubt, and you will be destroyed. The timing of this fate, however, relies on your skill in the game. Remember that you have infinite ammo in both weapons, so don't hesitate to give them everything you've got.



If you want to stay alive, drive the tank over so that you're right in front of the refinery. Here you will be less likely to be killed by enemies. Remember to try and dodge purple rockets (these are the Assault Droids' weapons, and are highly damaging) while remaining close enough to the refinery to destroy any droid that comes too near. Tank Droids shouldn't pose a problem for you, as you have superior weaponry and your Wookiee allies have grenade launchers to deal with these particular threats.

There is also another way to achieve victory on this objective. Select the engineer unit at the command post and equip your fusion cutter. Now run to the gate winch and sit to the left hand side of it where the doorway is. Don't worry about enemy units as they will attack the gate winch instead of you. While you're sitting there just hold the secondary fire button down when you have the fusion cutter equipped and point it towards the gate winch. When the gate winch is damaged or destroyed you will be able to repair it in less than 2 seconds. This will decrease the droids chances of destroying the refinery by blocking any tank droids from entering into the refinery clearing. If you are hit by stray fire use the supply cache that the engineer has to heal yourself.

Take over all CIS Command Posts
Yoda becomes available with this objective, so go ahead and use his powers to your advantage. Take the command posts in order according to distance from the refinery. So first take the two CPs on the beach in front of you, then move along the left side of the beach to the auxiliary command post (look out for units hiding behind the rocks). As you're taking the first two CPs, you won't have any cover; have your Force guard up, and only go for enemies outside a small radius if your health meter is getting low.



If you still have Yoda after getting the third point, great! Just keep steamrolling the enemy and take their last command post on the far side of the beach. If not, don't worry about it; select the Clone Trooper and drive another IFT-X, this time straight into the middle of enemy territory. Clear out the enemy units guarding it, then get out of the tank to begin capturing the CP. There's a good chance you'll be on the receiving end of a Tank Droid's grenades. Don't worry, you should have enough reinforcements available that you can respawn at the nearest CP (if you've cleared out enough enemies during the first run, consider selecting a Jet Trooper to get to the last point faster). The only thing you absolutely should NOT do is try to kill units without taking the Command Post; the enemy has no reinforcement limit, so this won't do any good. Once you capture the last CP, you win the mission.
