@@colbythompsonn there was no reason they had to change up the original formula so much. And then the audacity to stop updating the game after less than a year. I really doubt anymore plants vs zombies shooters are going to be made because of how hard it flopped and that makes me so sad.
@@PhweeOfficial Yeah but that's because of the concept of the video, people came to watch this video because they're curious if it's still being played aside from that I don't think people are gonna consume much content from a game this old.
I remember playing the first one almost religiously back then… still remember my favs though, the electrician and plumber variants of the engineer zombie guy… the Marine Biologist… The freeze trooper guy… and the vampire sunflower for the plants. I also remember a hot rod chomper I had though I don’t remember if it was a special variant or a skin
Same here! I got all the achievements in the first cause I loved it so much and Vampire sunflower is definitely my fav. We really need a GW3, I pray that EA gives this series another chance and take what made the second so great.
On the Xbox mixed mode and turf is pretty popular. Team vanquish is sort of underrated because since so little people play it you could do like 2 v 2 with random players.
Having last played yesterday (17th September 2023) on playstation I've found it fairly easy to find full lobbies: especially in turf takeover and mixed mode. I live in the UK and generally play between 17:00 and 23:00 in the evening. Also speedrunners music starting from 6:00 - awesome it's an underrated game.
Okay thank you. Im going to re download it on my ps4 as well. XD I forgot just how fun Pvz games are and how nostalgic it is from playing Pvz on mobile back in the days
I know I’m a few months late to this video but for anyone wondering, you practically have to queue for Turf as that’s where most players are. Also I seem to find Mixed Mode easy to find lobbies for, but this could just be a me thing! :)
Turf takeover and mixed mode are the only game modes people play. There also tends to be more active players at night west coast time at 8:00-11:00pm. (Btw this for west coast servers on computer)
What’s weird is I have more trouble finding games in GW2 than I do in GW1 but me personally I absolutely love the first one I have so much nostalgia for it
Gw2 is still going strong. But for the consoles, gw2 pc alot of people avoid due to modders and hackers that will be in every other game. I still remember running into a guy who was using Yeti in a suburnation
Hey! Recent garden warfare player here, just wanted to say that I SWEAR I've seen your username in the North American lobbies before, despite how weird it may seem. I'm enjoying the game tons and am pretty glad you enjoyed it too! Here's hoping that the community resurges soon, because it's an absolute blast!
as a man who played this game for the past 7 years, i had many great memories as playing online for the first time and meeting people, this cures my sadness after finishing school and work, making friends here was a joy, and here i am still have the game downloaded, always have a smile on my face
when i clicked on this video i thought this video was going to be by someone with like 24k subscribers but your subscriber count of a whopping 257 really shocked me @-@ definetley underrated
on xbox it’s good, sometimes hit reg is questionable but when u look back at it it’s pretty good and normally down to ur connection if it’s not hitting
When i was little, I used to watch this game on youtube, it looks so cool and fun to play, even tho I have never played it, the graphics, the diffrent shooter, and PVZ is overall Nostalgic and beatiful, I would love to have a chance to play this game, sad that the game isn't as huge as other shooter games, In my opinion one of the coolest shooter games ever!
I think so too! It's very reminiscent of what I liked to watch and enjoy but I just wasn't able to play it. It's too sweet to see someone share an opinion on something that it's not as talked about.
tips for garden warfare 2 in 2023 -don’t play super early in the morning or super late at night you won’t find a lobby -play on console if you can more people are playing there -if you’re playing ops don’t be afraid to open a lobby instead of fruitlessly trying to join one (there’s a bunch of people trying to join a lobby but there aren’t enough people making them)
i wouldnt reccomend playing this on pc unless you're messing around with mods because theres a ton of people who abuse the mod support on pc unfortunatley
I fucking miss this. I would play, but my disk is chipped and scratched beyond repair, I don't have a functioning controller, and it seems that time has destroyed my xbox.
Asia servers are dead, I'm just playing in NA/EU servers now with constant 200 ping, but timezones makes it difficult for me to find a suitable timeframe where I can find lobbies
I don't understand why corporations, when they don't want to update their game, won't give it to the community people who actually care (and know the basics of programming in frostibite) Leaving the game in such a nasty state will not only cause problems for the game and the community, but also discourage the company. Especially since we are talking about electronic art, a company that is already defamed by most of today's gamers and has a budget of 7+ BILLION DOLLARS. Is it so hard to hire some people who would work on the game in peace? But no, they'd rather sit on their ass, selling broken games with tons of microtransactions, damaging their reputation even more. Thanks Ea for giving me my childhood and taking it away so brutally
I also started playing this game again, i missed the old days when i bullied Imps with party citron, so i downloaded it again last week and i’ve been getting some full lobbies (gw2) lobbies of course, not the dumb Wall-nut Hills map. But my biggest question regarding GW2 in 2023 is to see if the town hall ever will open as the countdown says "unknown"
Hey man, this is actually 400k sub quality vids, really liked the content. What you said at the end is unfortunatly never gonna happen, after de BfN fail one of the popcap locations got shut down. This location was responsible for all the shooters. We’ll never get anymore PvZ shooters antmore since popcap is now only focusing on other franchises.
As an xbox player I can say that GW2 is still very active, it only takes a few seconds to enter a turf takeover or team vanquish match, good luck finding a match for any other game mode though.
I wish he recorded this during the release date on steam, it was so out of place but all game modes we full lobbies and the game felt like it was 2016. I really hope EA or Popcap wakes up and makes a SINGLE new PVZ game because this franchise is on life support and we need a banger to get back up. Anyway sweet video and keep up the amazing work and support
Do you need to pay to pay to play online on steam? Is there like a membership you need to play online on steam? Just making sure, ea is full of surprises. And I can't find it online.

Yeah the community did not age well and went sour
The non-toxic community is very agreeable compared with other competitive games
Only Turf Takeover seems to be active. I've had issues finding lobbies on other modes. Monthly events in town hall are the only exception
I usually find a mixed mode lobby pretty quickly
Mixed mode is usually full, but maybe that’s just on Xbox
@@eddie9920ps4 player here, mixed and turf are active and usually full lobbies but you do see a lot of the same people
ps4 player turf takeover and team kill are pretty active sometimes a full lobby and no hackers
mix mode is usualy next to full ithonestly depends on the time of day
You should really consider making this into a series. we need more GW2 youtubers in this.

Nostalgia hits😢😢😢
I remember playing it almost 24/7 and watching zackscott playing and reviewing the different variations of the characters. It hits hard
Yeah man, I only watched Zack Scott playing GW2 at that time, Brings back a lot of memories 🥰
this game was like the second blessing of god, mainly the second one because of my +5000 hrs on it.
PvZ GW2 is that one game that will never get old, its bin 7 years ever since it got released and its feels like it all happened yesterday
I remember playing the first one almost religiously back then… still remember my favs though, the electrician and plumber variants of the engineer zombie guy… the Marine Biologist… The freeze trooper guy… and the vampire sunflower for the plants. I also remember a hot rod chomper I had though I don’t remember if it was a special variant or a skin
The Marine Biologist was the GOAT… I can still hear the dolphin gun 😂
Same here! I got all the achievements in the first cause I loved it so much and Vampire sunflower is definitely my fav. We really need a GW3, I pray that EA gives this series another chance and take what made the second so great.
I think there are no skins as in merely cosmetic character variants. I think hot rod chomper got fast after he ate someone
I honestly thought you had at least 50k subs. You are actually so underrated. Keep up the good work (:
Much Love
The high level of quality is not equal to the amount of subs. Good job bro keep the grind going
On the Xbox mixed mode and turf is pretty popular. Team vanquish is sort of underrated because since so little people play it you could do like 2 v 2 with random players.
So glad the Xbox servers are still active, I love playing gw2
Same, play with my squad all the time
Any mode works
I usually get full lobbies on team vanquish or welcome mat in european servers
LETS BRING THIS GAME BACK! Get the new generation of gamers into the PVZ games and we are set.
Except that online now is horrible on pc

Yeah it's Turf first, Mixed Mode second in player numbers
Turf and mixed you find almost full lobbies
Mixed match modes is where it's all at, don't click on the regular single mode like turf takeover
Jesus, i miss this game. Massive part of my childhood, mainly the 1st one.

How does this guy not have millions of subscribers this guy is amazing
GW2 will always be a classic, great video!
This is one of the most underrated videos I’ve seen of the game rn. Surely nice work
Turf Takeover seems to be still active on Xbox one. Not as active as before, the lobby is mostly between low-mid to high mid capacity of players
that "WOAW" when opening a pack is pure dopamine
Diehard engineer and sunflower main. This game is a blast to the past
killing in this game is the most satisfining thing ever, to the point i set up on notification this effect
My goddddd you’re genius!!
For someone with only 100 subs this is edited so well. Keep it up and one day you will explode.
What’s weird is I have more trouble finding games in GW2 than I do in GW1 but me personally I absolutely love the first one I have so much nostalgia for it

You find full lobby's almost instantly on pleaystation 4
recently restarted playing, its so nostalgic and yes i remember full lobbies xd and i miss them
Funny, i don't ever encounter hackers and even when they access out of bounds it turns out you can access them without hacking.
Underated channel fr better than most channels now days keep it up

the production value is quite good, keep it up
great video especially for a small channel
My old friend and I used to play gw2 everyday and stay up until 2am just playing. I spent so much of my birthday money so I hope it never dies
It better survive!!
GW2 asia servers are dead as hell when 2023 arrived
Yeah the Australian servers are worse… Fingers crossed they make a third game!!
@@colbythompsonn I doubt that after BFN
From my friends experience there seems to be a surplus of hackers which sounds like a headache to deal with
If you play on xbox you can get full GW2 lobbys quick
Bro this video was great. You’re very underrated
Last time I played, I had no problem finding games on Mix-Mode
This so much nostalgia bro I grinded this game
Bruh the Xbox version has like zero hackers and is actually still pretty populated to this day
7:39 AYO 🤨
Ahh memories, what a good video
I usually only queue mixed mode, it generally finds a match within 5 seconds and is always full or almost full
I can't speak for pc but at least on Xbox it's definitely playable. You can still get full lobbies pretty easily.
That cheap bundle helped get some people into the game, it did get me
Console lobby’s are actually pretty popular today at least on PS5
I returned to this game man and my childhood memories flourished I missed everything about it other than chompers
everytime I get on there is some sort of glitch, I have been in a game where it was just infinite TDM. it was nuts.
This blast of nostalgia hits like captain cannon click
😂😂

Asia servers are dead, I'm just playing in NA/EU servers now with constant 200 ping, but timezones makes it difficult for me to find a suitable timeframe where I can find lobbies
i restarted playing 2 days ago after 2 years, and its actually still alive because i found an almost full lobby
I still play the game every few days, it’s still pretty active for the most part for me.
your delivery of this video is great, hope to see some more
The console version is much more filled with life

That is soooo TRUE
Every time I play on PC I do mixed mode, and there is always a full lobby
mixed mode is actually decently active in the europe region, at least on the PC version.
On ps4 I haven’t even found a empty lobby
They are either maxed or almost maxed
@@EditsFactory1wish I could say the same 😢
On european servers I would definitely say that it is dead, however on most of the other servers you should be able to find a full game
Also if you want a full lobby, play Mixed Mode
good stuff, but, did bro just hit a peashoter being a catus? 9:13
Yup… It’s people using mods on PC! Criminals 😂
I played yesterday and got unto a full lobby instantly
I also started playing this game again, i missed the old days when i bullied Imps with party citron, so i downloaded it again last week and i’ve been getting some full lobbies (gw2) lobbies of course, not the dumb Wall-nut Hills map. But my biggest question regarding GW2 in 2023 is to see if the town hall ever will open as the countdown says "unknown"
It opens up like every month
I'll give a better reply then this person above me, it opens the first week of every month, lasting for a week, so wait until May.
Yea opens first Tuesday of every month. Lasts twelve days
I miss this game's prime
console gw2 is in a way better state than the computer variant
Console is pretty active still
omg im there, the guy at the top of the zombies team at 5:37
No shotttt... 80 kills? That's nuts 😂
my fondest memory if gw 2 is talking to my friends about it in an xbox 360 party, wondering if itll come out on the 360 while we continue to play pvz1

It’s a Mod where he can be a plant on the zombie team… Absolutely criminal for people to do that to this game 😢
If you were to play garden warfare two on Xbox, you more likely to find a full server
