"Two teams of eight players compete in objective-based scenarios."
— In-game description

Strike is a 16 player game mode in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II with objectives unique to each planet, similar to the larger scale Galactic Assault. It is also played on a point system where one team must win two rounds in order to win the whole game.

Overview

Strike is a 16 player game mode that pits two teams of 8 against each other in small scale objective-based battles. The mode spans all three Star Wars trilogies with objectives unique to each map. Similar to Galactic Assault, one faction typically acts as the attackers and the other the defenders. Unlike Galactic Assault, the mode is played on a point system where one team is required to win two rounds to win the whole game. The mode utilizes smaller versions of the larger Maps and the only reinforcements available are the special units, that can be acquired through Battle Points.

Objectives

There are two types of objectives featured in Strike depending on the map:

  • Capture the Flag: A member of the attacking team must grab an objective and escort it back to their transport ship with the support of their team while the defending team must try to eliminate the carrier and prevent it from being picked up or secured within the transport ship. If the objective falls in the middle of the field, the attacking team will have some time to try and pick it up again where it fell before it is reset back to its original location.
  • Planting Bombs: The attacking team must plant a bomb on two separate objectives and defend these bombs once they are planted for a period of time while the defenders must defuse these bombs before they explode.

The attacking team must complete these objectives before they run out of tickets, which are based on lives; in other words, each time an attacker is eliminated, a ticket is lost. Matches can enter overtime if an objective is still being completed, such as a carrier still holding onto an objective or a bomb still preparing for detonation, but will end once the objective is complete.
