Movie Battles II offers 3 different ways of playing the game, plus 1 variation, each with it's own unique spin:
Open Mode
Open Mode is our standard, most-played mode. It pits two teams against each other in timed five minute rounds. The offensive team must complete their primary objectives to win before time runs out while the defending team tries to stop them by either killing them all or by holding them until the timer runs out. All game modes utilize a Last Man Standing mechanic. This means that, if a player is killed during a round, he will remain dead for the rest of the duration of the round. However, some classes can purchase an ability which grants them more lives to play in each round.
Each team is made up of seven different classes based on movie character archetypes, each with their own specialty. Every class can contribute with it's own unique skill set which can be upgraded by players.
Open Mode prioritizes balanced battles between the forces of good and the forces of evil. Players start with a given number of points that they can use to purchase or upgrade weapons, abilities, equipment or powers for their selected class. The different variety of classes, each with it's own set of movie characters, gives players freedom on what roles they want to play across the wide range of movie-based scenarios recreated on the mod.
With Open Mode, players can play as their favourite characters in unusual situations and create interesting What If? scenarios, such as having Vader and his Stormtroopers fighting against the Jedi on Naboo or Darth Maul teaming up with Jango Fett and trying to capture the Rebel intruders on the Death Star.

Full Authentic Mode
Full Authentic Mode follows the same mechanics and rules from Open Mode except for one thing: it doesn't have classes which are upgradable through points.
Instead, each team is made up of predetermined characters from the event that you're playing in. Each character comes with predefined equipment and abilities that are stated on it's description.
Full Authentic Mode aims to recreate each battle just like it originally took place in the Saga timeline. Any number of players can join a Full Authentic game, but only the corresponding number of players to avaiable characters on that specific battle can play at any given time. Remaining players can play as a generic weak character (normally a soldier if avaiable) or they will remain as observers until the round ends. When one character is killed, his player is put at the end of the observer queue and the next person in line for that specific character will play as him on the next round.
In Full Authentic Mode, players can play as their favourite characters in the famous Star Wars battle scenarios, such as playing as Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers while they board the Rebel Tantive IV ship or playing as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Padmé Amidala against Darth Maul and Trade Federation Battle and Destroyer droids on Naboo.

Duel Mode
Duel Mode is a collection of Full Authentic Mode maps that allow players to recreate the most famous duels in Star Wars.
Like in Full Authentic mode, players select and take control of a specific character involved in the duel, fighting in the same location where the duel originally took place.
Your objective is simple: eliminate your opponent(s). Any number of players can join a duel map, but only the corresponding number of characters to that duel can play at any given time. Remaining players will remain as Observers until a match is complete. When one character is eliminated, his player is put at the end of the observer queue and the next person in line for that specific character will play as him on the next round.
The winner of the duel continues to play against new opponents until he or she is eliminated or a win streak limit of three times is reached.
Duels usually pit 1 vs 1 confrontations, like Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker inside the Carbon Freezing Chamber, Emperor Palpatine vs Yoda in the Senate Room or Anakin vs Obi-Wan on Mustafar. There are also instances of 2 on 1 duels, like Dooku vs Obi-Wan and Anakin aboard the Invisible Hand or Darth Maul vs Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan on Naboo. There's even a 4 vs 1 battle where Mace Windu and his fellow Jedi Masters fight Chancellor Palpatine in his office on Coruscant.
Each scenario will have as many playable characters as the ones needed to reenact the duel accurately to the Saga's history.

Semi Authentic Mode
Semi Authentic Mode follows the same mechanics and rules from Open Mode except for one thing: it doesn't have the original seven archetypal classes for each team.
Instead, each team is made up of predetermined characters from the event that you're playing in. Each character comes with predefined equipment and abilities that players can purchase and upgrade with points.
Semi Authentic Mode aims to recreate each battle similar to how it occured in the Saga timeline while allowing players a bit of liberty in how they equip their selected character. Semi Authentic follows the same mechanics as Full Authentic in what regards to character selection and queueing.
With Semi Authentic, players can play as their favourite characters in known Star Wars battle scenarios, while being able to upgrade each character's trademark skill or weapon in different new ways from the movies.
