During the battle, the 501st encounters the Separatists' leader General Grievous, but they manage to chase him away and then take over the CIS base, while Obi-Wan battles and kills Grievous, thus assuring the Republic's victory. In the final mission of the Clone Wars era, the 501st joins the clone forces led by Obi-Wan Kenobi on the planet Utapau to help them with the attack on a major CIS stronghold. In addition to utilizing heroes in conquest matches, the game also features a hero assault mode in which heroes are pitted against villains in a team deathmatch format. Differences between Battlefront II and its predecessor include the ability to sprint and the ability to roll forward. Heroes serve as a bonus to players, and are unlocked by meeting certain criteria, such as earning a certain number of points. Battlefront II also features heroes - a special class that allows the player to control iconic characters from the Star Wars universe. For the Rebellion faction, the Bothan Spy and the Wookiee for the Empire, The Officer and The Dark Trooper for the Republic, the Commander and the Jet Trooper and for the CIS, the Magnaguard and the Droideka. In addition to the four standard classes, each faction has two unique classes which unlock by scoring a predetermined number of points. Four class types are common to all factions infantry, heavy weapon, sniper and engineer. Players have the ability to choose between six classes during gameplay.

Like its predecessor Star Wars Battlefront, the game is split into two eras: the Clone Wars, with battles taking place between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and the Galactic Civil War, where battles between the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire take place. The general objective in most missions is to eliminate the enemy faction. Battlefront II is fundamentally similar to its predecessor, albeit with the addition of new gameplay mechanics.
