Unlike the original Battlefront, in which up, down, left, and right on the directional pad each issued a specific command to nearby groups, commands are now issued by using the targeting reticule to select a specific soldier and pressing the up button. While controlling troops, one of the most striking differences between the original and the sequel is the method of issuing orders. In these situations, enemy reinforcements are unlimited and will continue to be deployed until the objective is completed. These missions may include destroying a specific target, recovering an item, or keeping the opposing force from overrunning a position. In campaign mode, in addition to the basic tasks of capturing command posts and killing enemy troops, certain objectives must be met for a mission to be successful.
