Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (2005)
developer at DICE have mysteriously removed Emperor Sheev Palpatine from the roster of EA’sStar Wars Battlefront IIand the game ’s lover are n’t certain when or if he ’ll be back . As one of the ultimate scoundrel of George Lucas’Star Warsand the expanded population since he first appeared inThe Empire Strikes Back , Palpatine has also try out to be a powerful character to have on side inBattlefront II .
From the annihilating moolah box scandal to continuous ripples thatit is simply too late forBattlefront II , it has n’t exactly had an easygoing drive for theStar Warsshooter . It is thought that Palpatine was pulled from the game on July 5 when developers once again restored his cataclysmic Force lightning abilities . Effectively making the Emperor one of the most powerful characters on the battlefield , the Force lightning has been a item of contestation for players that have seen it as an unfair advantage since the title ’s dismissal .

The plot ’s mechanics originally allowed Palpatine to fritter his Force lightning through rampart , which was a superpower he was quickly unclothe of until recently . post on theBattlefrontcommunity forum , community manager " F8rge " explained why Sheev has been been completely move out :
" We plan to execute our Kill Switch ( KS ) for him . This signify he will be removed from the secret plan . He will be disabled until a hotfix can be deployed . We do n’t take this decision lightly , but we feel it is in the best interest for everyone until a fix can be deploy . "
That was a calendar week ago and there is still no sign of the Emperor ’s swishing ness or sound of his crepitation voice . DICE may be promising Palpatine ’s return at some point in the future , but until then , gamers are left playing with the likes of Darth Vader , Kylo Ren , and of course of instruction , Bossk .
While Palpatine is still available in offline mode , it is n’t quite the same as relivingRevenge of the Sithand shell other players across the screen with a zap of Force lightning . It is dry that Palpatine has been nerfed with an online Order 66 until further notice . Unfortunately , the news and lack of spry reply by EA is just the modish in a political campaign of disconfirming press for the game . Balance change are nothing new for on-line plot likeBattlefront II , but to nix such a big character and then attempt to flee it under the radar in the astuteness of a assembly post is as surreptitious as Sidious himself .
For those uncoerced to stick withBattlefield II , there is still plenty to look ahead to thanks toan upcoming departure ofClone Warscontentand conversant faces like Anakin Skywalker , Obi - Wan Kenobi , and General Grievous . The game was still a big presence at E3 2018 and EA looks to be judge to reclaim the problems of the past . That being say , with the Empire presently left without the Emperor , fans are wondering if the spiritual visage of Palpatine will ever sit on theStar Wars Battlefront IIthrone again .
