Unlimited hero or villain:
--------------------------
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.

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:
----------------
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.

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.

While in a space battle, take a transport to the enemy's space cruiser for
sabotage. Land and make sure no one is in it or they will destroy it. When
no one is in it, it will stay there for the rest of the battle. When you die,
the transport acts as a command post for your team so you can go into the
enemy ship much faster than taking another fighter from your hanger.

This following is a list of the battle ship's weak points.

Auto turrets: Located in the ship's interior Enter the ship's interior and
you will see a cylinder shaped console with different monitors. Use two
pilot bombs to destroy it.

Life support system: Enter the ship's interior and to the left should be a
door. Enter it and you will see a giant blue screen ahead. Destroy it with
three bombs.

Engines: Enter the interior, then turn to the right. Go through the door
and destroy the four giant glowing tubes with three bombs.

Shields: Run into the interior and move past the auto turret controls.
Enter the door, then run down the passage. There should be a giant
lightning-filled tube. Place six bombs on the glass. To do this, aim up
and touch the glass.

Slow enemies from getting to their ships:
-----------------------------------------
Get into a heavy transport (for example, a LAAT Gunship or Droid Gunship).
Make sure that no one but you is in it, then fly over to the enemy hangar.
Land and get into one of the scout fighters in that hangar (for example, a
Jedi Starfighter or Tri-Fighter). Quickly fly back to your capital ship.
To do this even more quickly, do the boost, and if the enemy frigates are
not destroyed yet, fly out of the hangar, go down a good ways, then level
your ship out again. Once you have reached your hangar, land and see if
your other transport is there. If it is, get in. Make sure no one is in it
but you. Repeat the process described above. If it is not there, either just
waste time and wait, or get into a X-Wing or ARC-170. There will now be two
of your transports in the enemy ship, and they will spawn many of your men.
By doing this, you have bought yourself lots of time to disable the enemy
ship. It is important to make sure no one but you is in the ship because if
someone else is in there they will not get out when you land; and if you get
out, they will take off and crash.

Repairing shields:
------------------
You can always repair your shields. Just use the torch, but do not get too
close to the glass or it will not work. This will take awhile, but is helpful.
Also on ground battles you can use the torch to slice (hijack) enemy vehicles.

Regenerate health and ammunition:
---------------------------------
If there is an ammunition or medical droid on the other side of a thin wall
(i.e. in space if you go into another hangar and the main room the thin
separator walls between the doors and the droids), it can heal you through
the wall. Nobody on the other side can shoot you unless they use a bomb,
grenade, rocket, etc., which rarely happens.

Jango Fett comment:
-------------------
Select the Kamino map and set the hero counter however desired, okay as CIS, and 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 II, when he was decapitated during the assault
on Geonosis.

Unlimited awards:
-----------------
When you get a medal, you will get an award. For example, when you get the Guardian medal,
you will get the Damage Reduction bonus award; or when you get the Frenzy medal, you will
get the Elite Rifle award. When you get enough medals of one kind, you will become legendary
in that medal. When you become legendary in any medal, you have unlimited of the award that
comes with it every time you play a battle. For example, when you become legendary in the
Guardian medal, you will have unlimited damage reduction every time you play; and when you
become legendary in the Frenzy medal, every time you play as a Rebel Soldier, Stormtrooper,
Clone Trooper, Super Battle Droid, or any Marine, you will have the Elite rifle. This also
works with every other medal. Note: When you get a medal that gives you a new weapon, like
the Elite rifle when you get the Frenzy medal, to get out your new weapon switch your
primary weapon twice.

Earning medals:
---------------
After elite status is gained, the amount you have to get the medal decreases
(except for Technician).

Massive battles:
----------------
Go to the options menu on the screen where you select levels. There will be a "Conquest"
option. Select it and change the "Reinforcements" setting to "500%". Each side on a conquest
battle will start with about 750 soldiers. Note: This also works on a CTF battle, but you
must change the options for that battle. For some reason, command posts are easier to hold
with these massive battles. You can take over all of the command posts even when the other
side still has about 400 soldiers remaining.


Glitch: Mos Eisley: Get inside house:
-------------------------------------
Go to the house behind the cantina in Mos Eisley (with the ammo droid behind it; on the front
will be stairs). Go up the stairs and walk to your right so that you are standing above the
door going into the house that is facing the cantina. When you are facing the main house and
on the door arch, crouch and start walking into the house. If done correctly, you will fall
through the wall and be inside the house. You will be able to shoot the people outside, but
they will not be able to shoot you. You cannot jump through the ceiling. If your walk too far
towards the wall you will get outside the house again.

Mos Eisley: Get into cantina wall:
----------------------------------
Note: This is easier to do with a Jedi or Sith. Go to the cantina and find the chair that is next
to the health and ammo droids. Jump into the crack between the wall and chair and attack if you
are a Jedi. If you are a soldier, it will be more difficult. Stand in the crack facing the wall
between you and the health droid and hold the [Up] + [Left]. While doing this, move your Mouse
back and forth until you are in the wall. You can shoot others but they cannot shoot you.

Mos Eisley: Invulnerable:
-------------------------
There are two places where you can see everybody but you cannot get hurt. One is in the cantina.
Go to the booth by the med and ammo droids. Get behind the out turned seat. Crouch and go forward.
It may take some time to get in, but you cannot get hurt. The second is on a building across from
the cantina. Go up the stairs and get onto the roof directly to the right. Roll forward toward the
corner and you should go into the building. Note: You might get stuck and die.

All guns with a sniper scope:
-----------------------------
During game play or at the main menu, go to "Options" and go to "Game Play". Once there, switch
third person view to first person view. All weapons will have a sniper scope.

Unlimited Jedi:
---------------
In instant action there is an option along the side called "hero". Go to it and set it to
points needed 1 and respawn time "always".

Destroy Droidekas Easily:
-------------------------
Be the Trooper with the shot gun and remote detanators. If there is a destroyer droid causing
your troops trouble, just run up to the sheilded droid and toss the detanator under him, then
run to a safe location and detonate. The Droideka should explode.

Walk on capital ship:
---------------------
Land your ship halfway through the hangar shield. Note: This works better if you just took off.
You can get out and run along the side of a clone or Imperial capital ship. This works over Hoth
and Felucia, but cannot be done in the space battles. The trick also works best with a dog fighter.

Warp across room:
-----------------
Start running, press [Esc], then quickly press it again. You will warp across the room.

Frigate weak points:
--------------------
Every frigate in Space Battle mode has small critical hit points. They are as follows.
Victory 2 Class Frigate - The two black objects next to the rear standing wing.
Corellian Corvette      - The front tube facing upwards.
Banking Clan Comms Ship - The middle engine visible from above.
Acclamator Assault Ship - The utmost tip on the Command Bridge
Rebel Transport         - The entire Command Bridge.

Climb vertical surfaces:
------------------------
Use any vehicle and boost towards a vertical surface or any surface that goes up
(for example, tree, wall, etc.). Your vehicle should hit the wall and just start
rising.

Invisible mines:
----------------
This works on any map. Play as a Rebel Vangaurd, Shock Trooper, Assault
Droid or a Heavy Trooper and place a mine on a CP you control. The mine will
look visible to you, but to an enemy, almost invisible. After awhile your mines
may disappear. If you die or change units, they will not remain.
