When starting playing StarWars battelfront II one is asked to select side (good guys or bad guys). Is there any way to change that selection?My boys got the game for christmas and we were not alert enough when they were to start the game - they selected different sides. I want them to play together. How to fix this?/Confused mom

Choosing sides only affects certain bonus goals you can choose to go for in the game. No matter what you pick you can still play together with whomever else has the game without any issues.

(I know it's a old threat but whatever). The problem I am facing is in co-op, ya essentially always droids. Only like one clone (Fulucia is what it's called I believe) and after that, droid, droid, droid. I do not like being droid, but co-op is the only mode where I can actually find players (every single mode for me is empty as if no one is even playing).

I don't think playing together was the issue- the issue I believe, is the same for me- I want my child to play as the good guys... How do we change sides for the story mode campaign? Thank you!

@rx30acas0t40 The story mode campaign follows the story made by the developers, it's kinda like watching a movie, you can't make the movie theater make the bad guys into the good guys, you have to follow the story. SPOILERS AHEAD: Spoiler (Highlight to read)As for the story of the campaign in Battlefront 2: you play a squad working for what most people will consider the "bad guys" while believing they are the good guys. Your character then slowly realize that you have been fighting on the wrong side and then joins the "good guys" and does everything to make it right.As for the story of the campaign in Battlefront 2: you play a squad working for what most people will consider the "bad guys" while believing they are the good guys. Your character then slowly realize that you have been fighting on the wrong side and then joins the "good guys" and does everything to make it right. Starwars as a universe is not completely black and white, there's a lot of grays in there. There are bad guys working for the good guys and the good guys sometimes have to do bad things. There are also good people working for the bad guys which they believe are the good guys. We are talking about multiplanet governance, ideologies etc. etc

Ahhhh- got it! I thought there was a choice... thank you for explaining it! 🙂

Hi just got the game. Thought I chose the rebels, but when it came time to set up my player it was a Stormtrooper? Shouldn't my character be a rebel? How can I reset the game completely to ensure I am on the rebel side? Thanks in advance.

Multiplayer assigns you a random faction to play as automatically each game.

What side you picked in the start doesn't affect it. All choosing a faction in the start means for you is what challenges you get in the Career tab this season.
