- Star Wars Battlefront 2 is still a phenomenal game. Even today, thousands still play it and it's such a shame that development was cancelled. It's easy to think of what could have come from this awesome game. Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching.

Completely agree. They killed it just when it found itself and was doing well. Good updates, listening to the community, solid player numbers. And they killed it for 2042... I know 2042 is doing better now, but it took a year. I was very annoyed they killed bf5 and bf2, both of which were just starting to get really good to give us 2042
You don't make a dead person better, you embalm them. 2042 has been enbalmed.
They killed it for BF V
Battlefront 2 became good after 2 YEARS. If you dont make that excuse for 2042, dont do it for battlefront 2 either.
@@Grom-rl8bm true 😂
@@Its_Me_Romano No, they killed it for 2042. The game was supported until 2020.
The sound, the visuals, the immersion. There is no game that has come out recently that can match how this game makes you feel. It truly felt like you were inside the Star Wars universe. Worst decision they ever made was to discontinue development
at least you can still play it
@@SakuraGundamR34 that's literally the bare minimum. Graphically it's one of the best looking games that exist at the moment and there hasn't and won't be an update since 2 years
insurgency sandstorm: star wars mod is better
Agreed
Hogwarts legacy exists you know..🙄
This game came out in 2017 it its still the best-looking shooter I've played. It represents each and every Star Wars location to perfection.
If it came out in 2017, how is it cancelled?
@@a_single_white_female it's just that they stopped updating it now and finished the live service, idk if cancelled is the right word
It does look great but I think BF1 looks better.
@@a_single_white_female It was in it's prime pretty much and going very well then suddenly stopped all planned and in the work content
@@ValHazzardI think BF1 looks amazing for a WW1 shooter, and battlefront looks amazing for a Star Wars based shooter/other stuff!!
With over 1200 hours put into this game it's still one of the best star wars multiplayer games I have ever played. If they would've continued support this game would easily be a huge trending success. Nice to see some love for this game recently
You love the game thats great but to say the game would have been a huge trending success. The game never bounced back player base wise to say that's even remotely true
@@hoopla5502 it was a top 5-10 game on the market right before they terminated it.
@@hoopla5502 when it was canceled it had reached it's peak again. Goofy
@@mr.doodles1042 and it stayed on it's peek for like a month both on playstation and PC
"it's still one of the best star wars multiplayer games I have ever played."
You do realize there has only been 2 multiplayer star wars games on consoles in 15 years right?
I genuinely turned into an ape when I saw Battlefront 2, thanks jack!
Hahaha I can imagine your reaction 😂
@@howlingthrottle2465Can’t blame him, though.
I love this game and I freaked out when I saw this too😂
Dude this just made my day too!

A criminally underrated game. What a shame, I think it is still absolutely brilliant and aged so well.
Not underated at all lol. Still has a ton of players even today.
@@dravenripley9468 Not on PC, on PC it is unfortunately very dead and overrun by hackers
It most definitely did not age well. Terrible HvV balance, worse hit detection than CoD, op clone commando, explosive spam, countless unfixed bugs left by Dice. Game lost all of its potential after the Scariff update
@@AnthonyDoesTH-cam no it isnt maybe where you are on the planet but for me in the UK I perhaps encounter hackers once every 30 games and almost all the modes still have plenty of players only modes I struggle to get is starfighter assault.
@@AnthonyDoesTH-cam most play sp. it never was an mp game.
and if it had easier way to mp, would be more popular. no official servers
Battlefront 2 is honestly great and i have so many memories from when it first released, but holy crap if the support was maintained it could have been amazing for so much longer
It’s pretty decent these days, they’ve added a lot of characters
@@believeinmatter like who?
@@believeinmatter facts I still play this game
@@VoltronKnight Clone wars heroes like Obi-Wan, Anakin, General Greivous, County Dooku, and they even added Clone Commandos as an Enforcer for the Galactic Republic. Commando droids for the Separatists and Droidekas too!
@@animalkings7489 wasn't anakin always in
im still astonished at how well they optimized this game. Its still one of the best looking games out there and it runs like a charm somehow.
I was also surprised by how well the game runs!
Runs like a charm? My game always over heated while playing this lmao
@@datgio4951 for real? Comparing this game to others that look as nice, it runs very smooth for me
I agree the potential it had and the content we could’ve gotten would’ve been amazing, such as Ventress, Ashoka and the 332nd battalion aswell as Mustafar.
Facts they gave up way to easily on this game there is so many characters they could have put in this game
Oh there would've been a lot. We barely got new Blasters.
Regarding heroes they had to consider trilogy balance though, due to conquest splitting them. So for new PT heroes we would probably also have been given sequel characters (I mean zorii and that stormtrooper woman could've been sick from a gameplay standpoint).
Check out the mods if you play on PC. This game has some of the best mods out there, including adding just about every hero you can imagine.
When you say they killed the game you mean the support to create more content for the game?
If you are a PC player you can play on the modded multiplayer servers, you can play Ventress & Ashoka on it. The mods are so clean you could almost think it's official content !
Currently have like 1300 hours played. Couldn't agree more! Love this game sooooooo much seriously one of the best games of the decade for me. I know it had a rough start, but if you can look past that this game is legit one of the most amazing games. Still very active too!
On PC not so much, you might find a full server if you can wait around for a half hour or so(and that was around 1~2 years ago the last time I played), and odds are the top of the leader board will be plagued by hackers. Even small game modes are the worst when this happens too
@@extantfellow46 you're telling me to avoid modders by joining a modded server? Sorry I'm not familiar with Kyber but does it come with some sort of anti cheat?
I think one of the issues was the huge backlash at launch over the MTX and the cards/loadouts system. A lot of people never tried it again after that, even thought they completely overhauled the game and progression system.
the game had won back a lot of players with the content updates, that was certainly not the reason for it. at first you could have said that, but the game had many thousands of players during the support period.
I honestly never understood what the backlash came from at the start, you could get everything but you just had to grind for it. As a 13 y/o at the time it was just really cool to have a new battlefront with clone war era content + more
@@Steve-mx9rr It definitely was the main reason for me, along with the monetization.
@@cptmarcus you didn't unlock things based on who you were playing. The only way to get things you want were either luck or paying. Completely scummy businesses model
This is the right answer! I couldn't get any friends to pick it up after the made the changes. Gamers move on quickly. There's always something else to give us the hit.
This is one of the few games that blew me away graphics wise when it came out in 2017 and still does today. I still hop on heroes vs villains mode every now and then it's so much fun.
I've just started playing, but only get destroyed. I guess the cards are kinda important? Or is there some Meta that I still need to find out about, like spamming block or sth.?
@@oppressorb7196 having upgraded cards definitely help a lot, I suggest playing the co-op missions mode against bots as it lets you upgrade your cards faster and also get some practice learning the abilities for your favourite heroes/villans. The cards alone won't carry you to victory though, you gotta practice how to manage your stamina bar. Knowing when to attack/retreat/block and parry is key to winning fights which is why I suggest doing co-op missions against AI before fighting real players.
@@SeemsLegal Roger Roger
We really need Battlefront 3 with the new generation features 😩
Facts!!!! And all the characters honestly
Hopefully it launches with nothing but lootboxes!
Ground to space battles
@@gzuskreist1021 i think they learned from their mistake, i hope
@@vFuSiion That would be awesome. It would be the Battlefront equivalent of Battlefield's planes/helicopters. Just from further away, providing air support from orbit. And that feeling of a much larger, open map due to the inclusion of space would be the best place to introduce Battlefront 128 player game modes.
I love the level of enjoyment that Jack gets when playing this game, it makes me happy seeing someone having so much fun
This game is an absolute classic. Shame that it was abandoned the way it was. Thanks for the videos Jack!

Big facts
Love star wars bf 2 just so disappointing for the players who still play it that they are not going to do more with it.
@@Redoctober81 im still playing it. im trying to get max level with my heros. feels like its gonna be a long one
It's a classic but only after they removed the MTX and lootboxes
This game was way ahead of it's time, still play it now a then.
I haven’t stopped playing this! Thanks Jack for giving this game the attention it needs!
is the pc community still active ? it s on sale on steam right now
should I get it ? only 5 bucks
@@nadhembayouli7645 PS4& PS5 lots of players, on Steam i think the Game have a base of players
@@nadhembayouli7645 Yes it's active. Full lobbies especially in the evening.
@@agentsmith6161 first of all thank you very much for replying I appreciate it , I did get it now Im just saving to get better gaming laptop than the one I've had can't wait to hop on and play
Jack, can I just say I really enjoy hearing you talk about Star Wars. I'm a massive Star Wars enthusiast, and it brings me joy to know you like it and watch all the content, too. I also loved The Solitary Clone. It's really cool to see small team special operations style tactics from clones post-rise of the Empire. It's really well done, in my opinion
There is still a pretty strong community on the game, and the modding scene is huge. Lightsaber dueling on this game is so surprisingly intricate that there are quite a few sizable youtube channels dedicated to just duels.
I stumbled upon it by accident, and fell in love.
Movie Battles 2’s duels 10x better than Battlefront’s goofy lightsaber system.
Not only is it a great FPS. The air combat is amazing!
Still play this game almost every day! One of my top 5 favorite games of all time 🔥
Same
Do you play on pc or console?
@@AaronDoster I play on pc
i really hope it will be proposed from free at Epic game store soon
@@AaronDoster console 😁
Just got on Battle Front 2 again as well recently.. you're completely correct this game is incredible to this day and an absolute joy of a game to experience
So good to see you visiting this kind of games, keep it going! This really makes my day, much love from Brazil!
Glad you enjoy it!
The game is still very much alive. Couple thousand on steam daily but way more people play origin and way more play on epic games (because it was free on epic for a week.) And many more on console. So if anyone's looking to pick it up, you wont have to worry about not being able to find matches in less than 60 seconds for any of the good modes.
Absolute loved it on console, was some of the most fun I'd had gaming in years. And the maps are absolutely stunning.
I have 500 hours on this game. This video made me get back into it. Thank you for getting me back into probably my favorite game ever
so glad you made this video jack! this game is so amazing and had such big potential! still shocked how they stopped the support for it, playerbase was even rising when they did it, very strange move of them. hope for a Battlefront 3 one day...
I just can't get over how beautiful this game is
Amazing isn't look just as good or better than current games
This game... Man. I loved this game... The detail, the gameplay, the graphics... It was awesome.
Makes me sad to hear there could have been more to this game. This game was a huge part of my early childhood, I know every map by heart, every weapon by memory, and every ability like the back of my hand. An amazing game Ive personally spent many hours on, it's saddening I find out today that there could have been more to it.
Glad to see more people bring attention to the potential this game and franchise still has
Same I’m glad a bigger TH-camr posted a video on this game I love this game and it had so much potential for characters they could have added
4:42 I love how some random droid throws a grenade and says "Goodbye grenade!" xD
this is my first time watching a Star Wars game
and this game look sick
It’s so much fun I highly recommend you play it
@@AaronDoster
i will yeah
@@TierZGG 🫡
More Star Wars gameplay and latest content discussion PLEASE. You’re killing it, Jack.
9:42 the master yoda "defend them you will" killed me😂😂
😂😂
Co-op was extremely fun and a fast way to level up
Great to see you playing this Jack. Was and still is a great game. Wish they would have did more with it. Keep it alive Jack. Congrats on almost 4 million as well. Love the channel. Thanks Jack!
Man I put absolutely massive hours into this and the first game it was the most fun I’ve ever had in gaming and totally true to the universe. Best game!!
Thank you so much for shining a spotlight onto this game I absolutely love it and sank at least 300 hours into it over the years and will be returning :)
The solitary clone was so good, great to see Cody again, and please more star wars content!
This game was so beautiful. Holds up really well in 2023!
Facts
I just get jealous of Jack’s rig and fps.. silky smooth, I’ve never seen the game look quite this good.
This games graphics for the time were incredible and still go crazy
I’m on PS4 and I can’t stop playing it, recently got into a Milsim community and they play everyday and boy! This game is so fun to play! So many amazing scenarios that really makes you wanna scream “FOR THE REPUBLIC!”.
Strongly suggest playing if you’re a Star Wars fan😉
Im still amazed to see that after 3 years of no more content the servers are still full as the servers of bf 2042 are beginning to crumble
Yeah I play on ps4 and ps5 and it so much fun I love it
I don't have a computer to play these titles. But the amount of time and effort to make this game and others is super. They look so good!
What an unexpected surprise, but a welcomed one. I am rn playing the solo campaign : it is so astonishing
I mean how can you produce such masterpiece in terms of map design and performance in 2018 and then releasing a really buggy game without any charm (speaking about bf 2042)
My favorite Dice game actually.
Being a die hard Star Wars fan helped but the game was more accessible than most Battlefield games. I really like it
A really nerdy trick you can do with the commando droids is to alternate the special melee slash and the normal dash ability to get super speedy
Yes ))
Adding vehicles to conquest was the last thing they needed to really capture that nostalgia factor. Glad they finally did that.
Would love to see some more Battlefront 2 content. So much fun and the game still looks incredible
(Xbox) I STILL play this game to this day and have NO trouble finding matches. Incredible game. Play more
I'm gonna start playing it again. Thanks for your comment I'm glad to see it's still popular on xbox! Excited to jump back in! 😀
Yeah I play on PlayStation and it’s still easy to find matches
Completely agree. It had a rough af launch but turned into pretty much Star Wars perfection.
great game tbh, had some issues though. i hated how people would just camp menu for the jedi to be up. leaderboards depended on using specialist / jedis. i kinda wish there was just a mode with basic troopers.
Leaderbords definetily wasnt all dominated by specialists and jedi, if you were good enough any class except the officer could basically really easily get to and stay on the top.
I would have played this game a lot if there was a dedicated troopers-only mode. I just don't like playing against players who have a ton more health than me. Same reason I didn't like the sentry kits in BF1
I have gotten first playing as a trooper the whole game
Yeah Assault and Heavy class are amazing. The special Troopers are the tits as well. Death Trooper is a savage. Roll, shoot, and roll!
There's a plethora of issues, I always called it Stun Wars Bugfront 2: Exploitation Edition
Source: I was there for every single CT, spoke to community managers and have over 3k hours combined from multiple platforms
has been one of my favourite games for years. a group of mine picked it up in lock down to play and we all had so much fun just endless nights, so much fun stuff to do its endless. real shame. they really need to bring something like it back
Happy to see this gem getting some screen time!
Same not many people post about it. I love this game and play it all the time
@@AaronDoster The main reason I hear people were deterred was the loot box fiasco at the beginning, but never realized that, that was handled fairly early in it's lifetime. It's still very fun to hop back in to. I just hate how starfighter assault never got any content love.
This is such a beautiful game, exciting gameplay as well.
The aim assist was so strong on console with the snipers, it was easy to quick scope because all you’d need to do was zoom. Shoot. Zoom out and repeat. Easy kills
as a console player, no
@@thestarhopper it was lmao
@@thestarhopper was a console player myself
something about calling him "Mister Maul" really got me cracking up lol
Really wish this game didn’t end like it did, such a come back from launch
We were so close to having Ahsoka and ventress as heroes!!!
This game goes so hard -- always a good time
Facts
This game is so damn good, I still hop on at least once every couple weeks. HvV is probably my favorite mode
One of my most favorite FPS games ever!
It is my favorite honestly
Very glad to see you on the gam Jack! It's a shame liveservice was cancelled indeed...
Keep it up man
Fantastic game. Questionable decisions seem to be the norm nowadays.
I don't understand why it seems to be something that is happening in all facets of life
The audio-visual experience in the 2 latest Battlefronts were nothing short of orgasmic to a SW nerd! 😍
Always love SW content from you, Jack!
As a star wars fan, I love the graphics of this game. I havent played much of it but it just blows me away
Such a good game! Love the content Jack❤️
Facts
I still play it every day, we can now only imagine what beast of a game it would have been if it only kept receiving updates, even for an year more! For anyone interested, I post daily videos of BF2, especially the heavily underrated Starfighter assault.
I couldn't imagine playing this in first person. Looks more cinematic for the video though
Kind of weird cause I grew up playing the original battlefields as well, but I preferred playing this game in first person for that very reason. It's just so much more immersive.
I play in 3rd person but I’m definitely going to try it in first person
This game is awesome. Still play a lot of it on pc.
I'm having a blast on Starfighter Assault these days. Brilliant.
Nice video Jack. Merci.
I put so many hours into this. One of the biggest 180's in video game history, the game became AMAZING with updates. I put hundreds of hours into it.
What a lot of people don't understand is that the game itself was always fun and well-made, the reason the community hated it at launch was due to the lootbox mechanic which was removed after the massive backlash. To give an outline, the MTX/lootbox system allowed you to bypass the unrealistically long grind for heros and upgrades, by purchasing the lootboxes that contained the characters and cards (which alone was also controversial as it was entirely random and you could very well end up spending hundreds or even thousands and ending up with countless duplicates which could be cashed in for small amounts of in-game currency). Player time investment was deeply undervalued and it put people off. The community never really recovered after that as most had made up their minds and backed out, which is the most unfortunate part. Had the game not launched with lootboxes in the first place, it likely would have maintained a much bigger playerbase, even now, and would have been supported for much longer.
I had so many memories on this game. I remember pre ordering it and playing every day
I've been actively playing this again the last few months really been enjoying it
I was very happy to see some battlefront 2 on this channel!
Also, if you ever decide to play this again, tanks are very vulnerable when shot in the back.
Jack I honestly love all of your content mate thank you for existing 💙
I love this game still and is definitely one of the best games I have played. I really wished the kept working on it or make a 3 one
Same I still play this game and really enjoy it
@@AaronDoster Im considering going back to it, is there still players for full servers?
@@thepyroguy624on Xbox, yes
@@thepyroguy624 yes I play on ps5 and ps4 and it has been easy to find matches every time I get on honestly
@@thepyroguy624if u play on pc it’s stacked with player. And the mods are amazing
I only got this at the weekend for XSX. It’s one of the most enjoyable games I’ve played in a long time. So much more so than MW2 or BF2042.
I wish someone would make a fully dedicated Star Wars FPS (original trilogy 🤞)
Battlefront 2 and BFV were criminally cut short. Both had such incredible potential.
Not so much Bfv that game wasn't the best. Id rather play Bf1 or Bf4 any day of the week.
BFV was utterly outstanding. I still play it a lot. It had something for everyone map wise and the SERVER filter to choose. Absolute master piece

It is absolutely criminal that this games support didn’t continue. So many endless possibilities with Star Wars, with new content available via BB and Mandalorian.
you mean its absolutely criminal the way this game launched with its predatory lootboxes? This game should have died its first week of release. Also, Star Wars is for children.
The only thing that bothered me about this game was the amount of heroes/villains in a killing spree every match.
I miss this game so much. Stayed playing the coop mode for a while because it was really hard to find multiplayer matches.
First time watching your channel was on battlefront1 walker assault in the snow. That was awesome, I wish I was able to play that game when it was new.
Genuinely impressed and saddened by how amazing this game looks and that it was dumped
Glad to hear that you are a fan of Star wars
Arguably one of the best, if not the best, looking and well optimized games out there.
Played this for the first time last year. Played 360 hours straight. Loved it. Just wish more maps and Jedi but apart from that it’s perfect
Incredible game, no doubt. Such a shame it was mismanaged so badly at the beginning, and then killed just when it was in a great place!
i have never watched this channel, but somehow battlefront 2 randomly popped up in my feed so i clicked on. if i could choose one game to be revived, it would be this one. there's still so much more to be added and so much more to be enjoyed. i still play it from time to time, but i can really only get games on hvv (i play pc). i dont mind that too much as it is my favorite game mode, but it's almost always the same people across different matches.
Crazy 2042 doesn’t look close as good as this game and doesn’t play as well either
Jack imitating yoda was the thing I didn't know I needed today.
This game is still fun to play.
I've always preferred Empire at War to Battlefront games. Fits the name of "star wars" more.
And here I thought you'd never have another video of battlefront 2. Mark me pleasantly surprised, thank you.
Been playing for YEARS on the ps4 and loving the massive influx of new players.
I might have to re-download this on xbox, I forgot how good it was! Great video❤️🚀
This is interesting to see Jack playing battlefront 2
I’m still playing this as well. The mods on PC really brought new life to the game for me
