2, because of the unlimited support of the community for modded maps etc. What I also loved in Battlefront 2 (and what I am really, really missing in modern Battlefront 1 and 2 games), that you could enter vehicles even if it was from the opponents. And the story Mode was so great. I love to get fed with lore content and the rise of these clone troopers was just awesome. BTW. are you going to play the PC version of the newer Battlefront games?
I remember that I never knew how to navigate the menu and would just spam A until it put me in a game lmao, I was 4 but once i returned to it when I was like 8/9 I finally figured out how much content i missed
One little thing I never see anyone mention is how powerful vehicle blaster felt. They all had a small aoe which just felt so much more satisfying. Much as I loved 2 and even the last one the vehicle weapons always felt like pea shooters.
I like EA battlefront 2 but I don’t like the card things for heroes everyone always seems to run the same exact cards for every hero and villain except for low levers that don’t have it solely because they haven’t unlocked it yet
Yeah it is. But the old ones are soo nostalgic. Like I will play and just appreciate what the game has to offer. I played battlefront and episode III and then the unleashed series. All fun but they weren’t as polish as modern battlefront II. And that’s what I felt it was always missing. We didn’t have a Star Wars game that felt like a triple A title.
What is shocking about the battlefield 3 game and with it being canceled, Starwars: Elite squadron is basically Battlefield 3 and it probably is the best one of all, and psp game that NEEDS to be ported to console because it DESERVES to be on console it is that good
The game also made its way onto the ds. It’s a top down shooter with some on rails vehicle segments plus actual space missions but it follows the same story for the most part.
Man I love the fact that you tried these out. I will say I do love the battlefront 2 reboot but I do love the original battlefront 2 as well. I hope you like these games as much as I do.
15:46 Niosai: …Including Coruscant, Felucia… Me: Okay, yeah that makes sense. They’re not super important in the grand scheme of things Niosai: …and Tatooine. Me: Okay WHAT?!
I really wish some of the maps from battlefront 2004 could have been implemented in the 2005 game ex I feel like the 2004 geonosis is waaay better than the 2005
I really liked one of the besbin maps. I found a pc version that adds them in som mods and brings multiplayer mode but I’m still a fan of the ps2 version.
They did add some maps from BF1 alongside 2 new heroes (kit fisto and Asajj Ventress) through DLC, however it was only ever released on Xbox. Good news is modders have ported over the dlc to the PC version and there's are countless other mods that add BF1 maps.
Star Wars Battlefront Elite squadron for the PSP, if I remember correctly, is the spiritual successor to Battlefront 2, I really enjoyed it. Rogue Squadron also on the PSP, is very enjoyable. Also all these PSP games look and feel so much better on the PS Vita. Bilinear filter is my new best friend.
Ah, Star Wars Battlefront, this was basically my Halo to play in the early to mid 00s because I didn't own an Xbox and had a PS2. This and DBZ Budokai 3 were my most played games of that time. All though when I think of Battlefront I tend to think of the 2005 version the most, I played the original a bit but when BF2 came out, I just played that a lot. I do like the campaign in the 2005 version and I think ironically it's pretty decent for a game that was not supposed to have a campaign at all and was made because they needed to ship with one. It's muuuuuuuuuuch better than the 2017 game and that is hilarious considering the latter was made to have an sp from the ground up. I am actually not a big fan of space battles in the 2005 game, it felt too empty and barren compared to the on foot infantry fights, battles often consist of going instead capital ships because the actual dogfighting was so empty and barren. It's a shame BF3 never got made, Free Radical with the Timesplitters games and Second Sight are great devs and BF3 really could've been the best in the series.
What's funny is that Battlefront II was the second most popular game on xbox live multiplayer, even when Microsoft shut down og XBOX servers. So you can arguably say that Battlefront II was also the XBOX's Halo too.
Battlefront 2005 is the greatest star wars game ever. Left a huge impression with me. Always played on the ps2 and had to go to repair stores to get rid of the scratches on my copy. Nowadays I just play it on computer. Super satisfying to hook up a gaming pilot joystock and switch from keyboard to joystick during space battles. If they ever manage to do pandemic studios battlefront games justice and improve upon it with the huge amount of star wars lore we have right now lying around, I'd pick it up. Untill then the OG's are my go to.
One thing to note about Battlefront II (2005). In SWBFI, some maps like Bespin, Geonosis, Kashykk, and Tatooine let you transport your AI troops across the map. You couldn't do that anymore in the sequel.
@@Niosai It's fine. I just wish BFII had maps like in BFI, making it so you could transport troops across the map in key strategic positions. But both games are still re-playable till this day.
Love the in depth reviews of all of these games! Thanks for making this! The map zoom in sound from battlefront 1 unlocked a fountain of nostalgia that I thought was dried up lol
I'm so glad you covered the OG games, and this is the most footage I've seen of BF3! insane that it was never released...almost a crime against humanity I dare say lol
Honestly, I think almost all the battlefront games have been good (at least at the end). Loved the original two on the ps2, played the demo of one on the psp endlessly. The newer two are different, but they are star wars, when I first played Battlefront (2015) it felt like star wars, everything was so pretty and flashy, and it was so simple it just felt right. The second one had that thing with micro-transactions at the beginning, let us never forget that (since dice seems to know no end to their shitty developing skills), but now, I couldn’t recommend that game more, the only flaw it has, is that it doesn’t have instant action split screen, but besides that (and glitches I guess) for me it does stand as a great entry in the series.
Lucasarts man, they were truly something else despite their problems they knew how to make fun videogames. By the way, a guy made a mod that adds more maps to the PSP version at the cost of galactic conquest and story mode. The maps are ports from previous games and even the renegade and elite games. It's worth trying out if you want a new Battlefront II experience in your emulator or PSP
One of the best parts about the original battlefront was the grenade physics, how they'd toss you around even if they didnt kill you. Created so much madness
Playing Battlefront 2 on my psp are some of my favorite memories as a kid. I'd even pass it between friends to take turns and argue which Jedi is the best in the game
Hey you forgot the hero vs villain mode in battlefront two but it was only on Mos Eisley. But this was a good video and honestly I really would want to see what you can say about the dice battlefronts. As well Battlefront 4 was a thing and was going to have what if ideas of the franchise with their own stories but it was also scrapped on the conceptual level and no gameplay exsited. This was also going to be co inside with the first force unleashed game and have Star Killer as a playable Hero.
Something that wasn’t mentioned that makes me enjoy battlefront 2004 WAY more than battlefront 2005 is the ability to use starfighters and other aerial ships during ground battles, it’s so fun wrecking infantry and tanks using LAATs, etc. Also the physics/splash damage and vehicle combat in battlefront 2 was way worse than the OG
I remember an interview with Dice back in 2015 where they explained the new games don’t have seamless ground/space combat because the graphical fidelity is too high to try to fit that much stuff together.
i was very young when the og battlefronts were released so i have no memory playing them outside of a few occasions when my brother would leave his pc on or something, so i never really had any opinions on the gameplay or mechanics in either games rather memories of seeing my older brother playing them late at night with his friends and seeing everything play out it felt like a movie so when i bought the games for myself and would do the same with my friends it hit a nostalgia nerve for seeing everything again and how they still more or less hold up 18 years later just being fun to jump into and have a good time
hey person who played the og battlefront games his entire life (was born the same year bf1 released)You could always lock onto someone but it didnt force you to shoot them. It did autoaim your rockets and torpedos if you were using a starfighter. But those required you to be looking near the target to lock onto them
The original Battlefront game was the first Star Wars game I ever played and it will always be my favorite, but in my opinion I think the original Battlefront 2 is the best of all the Battlefront games since it has a lot more game modes and a good campaign as well as being able to play as heroes.
How could you forget to mention assault mode on Tatooine! A hidden heroes vs villains mode that I believe was also a pc exclusive. It wasn't a 4v4 like EA's games though, but every hero vs every villain simultaneously
battlefront 2 has an awards feature as well. it ranges from small to big buffs. better rifle, a guided rocket, damage buff, vehicle regen, and others. but all in one life till you reach max level. the first 3 times the award doesn't matter, after 32 times the requirement lowers, 64 it becomes permanent. the elite rifle and flechette shotgun can really do some damage
13:50 ... the meta in bf1 was also explosives(antitank-guy was 80% of every lobby) and rolling or sniping, everything else was played by bots :D what a time, loved it.
The best part about Battlefront II was 4 player splitscreen, which was pretty cool back in the day for couch gaming. Hero battles, Galactic Conquest...etc...
9:50 in the original release of battle front 2 they did use movie footage before playing the in game cutscenes, but they were removed for the steam release
Battlefront II (2005) almost released without a singleplayer campaign but it was added late in development because the developers believed it was something that needed to be added. That dedication did not deserve Filoni completely ignoring the clone rebellion on Kamino.
I had a demo version of the PSP game and it actually had the combined land and space battle. It only had one map since it was a demo (Tatooine), but I think they wanted to include both modes. You could spawn on a capital ship, in a fighter, or on the surface and by flying up you could transfer between ground and space. I expected you to mention this and was surprised that it was not actually in the full game.
You're talking about Elite Squadron! I'm going to be talking about that in Part 2 and while it does have surface to space, it's not seamless and they're almost treated like separate maps
Good to know battlefront 2 still has the same online meta. Back when I was a kid I'd plug my PS2 into dialup and all I'd do was drop infinte trip mines.
This just gave me the biggest nostalgia trip ever, back to 2002, playing LoTR: The Two Towers on XBox! I legitimately smelled scents I remembered from back then and everything. 😄😀
We actually got the entire story in "battlefront elite sqaudron" (i believe that was the name) i used to have that game on my nintendo DS. You play as X2 a clone that has jedi dna. You as X2 don't go trough with order 66 and turn on your brother X1. You join the rebellion and later get trained by luke skywalker. And in the end you and your brother (now both capable force users) fight to death on mustafar! God this story actually slapped hard!
It's really a shame you've only got 50k subs. You've taken up the task of having to play through multiple games per video on a weekly schedule, yet your videos continue to be such high quality. You deserve 300,000 at the VERY least.
22:57 Okay, so this IS just Part 1, because I was ready to ask, "But what about the Renegade and Elite Squadron games?" Yeah, no, Part 2 and all that jazz. Got it.
In case you don't know there were two more psp games that were sequels to battlefront (like how dbz evolution was a budokai game but not called budokai). They were called Star wars battlefront Elite Squadron and star wars battlefront renegade squadron. Elite Squadron also had a Nintendo DS version that played completely differently Also I think "I play every Timesplitters game" should be added to the list of requests
@@Niosai Yeah at the end of the video it sounded like you were alluding to these games but felt the need to comment still just in case (especially about the ds version)
Fun fact: On the PSP Battlefront 2, even though on the space battles the capital ships don't have interiors. They still have the destroyable targets in there floating in the air and you still get points for destroying them. You can get to them, if you glitch your fighter/bomber trough the hangar floor.
Yeah. Found out about it, when a ship respawned on top of my previously landed ship and i tried to take off with it, but then my ship just sank through the floor. What i find interesting, is that i can't find anyone speaking about this glitch.
17:58 acording to some devs game was 99% ready so if this is true leaked build its much older and unfinished that last build they had which probably only needed bug fixes and polish.
My friends and I love the fact that Star wars Battlefront 2 (2005) had 4 player splitscreen for ps2 and Xbox. However, you need the 4 player adapter to make that work on ps2
The original Battlefront II had a much better menu, UI, and character selection screen. If course the resolution and textures will be better on PC, so the gameplay will look better. As stated in the video there's online servers available, but it's way more fun to just play with your friends though
Battlefront II (2005) released with unique characters and maps on the original Xbox. I can't remember the maps, but Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress were the added hero characters who had completely original animations and voice lines. Asajj even has lightsaber nunchucks. I cannot find any evidence of mods that add them to the PC version, meaning they're, to this day, still only in the Xbox version. Which didn't take anything away from the other versions, except XL mode on PC, which obviously it had to. And yet no one ever talks about the Xbox version. They always say they played the Playstation 2 or PC version in their childhoods. Me included.
Fun fact, it's actually impossible to play every single released battlefront game in 2022, Star Wars Battlefront: Mobile Squadrons has been completely lost to time with only a few screenshots remaining.
😭 Yeah, tons of mobile game tie-ins to a bunch of series are gone forever. At least it's not due to the publisher intentionally making it unavailable, not that this outcome is much better
Me and my cousin would play split screen space battles in the 2nd game and just keep betraying eachother in the hanger till the defeat screen came up. Good times. 😂
the first one is still the champ. i was in an unofficial tournament on xbox and my team made it to the final match. then my internet went down before it started and was out for two weeks. i never found out who won.....
For Star wars battlefront PSP there is a Mod project for it which works best on a PSP emulator. You get all Battlefront 1 and 2 maps, have a cheat menu, improved graphics and 64 bot matches, more heroes, more unit skins and so much more. I recommend you play it. With a PSP emulator you also can play the whole game on a phone. The whole star wars battlefront 2 experience. Really good.
I just commented the same thing lmao. It's a very solid mod despite the graphical issues and some lack of vehicles. I tried on my Vita and it was a whole new experience. A shame there's no galactic conquest nor story mode but since the mod is fairly new we just have to wait and see
After the support from DICE and all the treatment Battlefront 2 2017 got . I would have to say Battlefront 2 2017 is the best ,I have grown up playing hours and hours of battlefront 2 2005 on the PS2.
I had the first battlefront, and remember playing as a demo on xbox which came with the OT on dvd. But for the life of me, I cannot remember the PT being part of this game
Elite Squadron. It's Battlefront III, but on the PSP... and the DS, but that one sucks. Although the DS one does keep the cameo of Rahm Kota from The Force Unleashed intact. Sadly, neither keep the interaction between the clone troopers, X1 and X2, and Ferroda during Order 66. That cutscene, I feel, is amazing. You can hear the anger in Ferroda's voice when he realizes Palpatine just ordered the Jedi's executions and then his tone shifting when he's forced to fight X1 and X2 to being desperate for them to stop fighting him. Trying to tap into their unique nature as they're not Jango Fett clones, and quite frankly, his friends. Parts of Rahm Kota's interaction with X2 from Battlefront III also exist. And as always he's a hardass and I love him Spoilers: X1 and X2 are clones of Falon Grey, Rahm Kota's Padawan. Who was badly injured, and Kota went to the Kaminoans for help. They did, but also took some of Falon's DNA which they used to make X1 and X2. Falon acts completely different from his master, as in he's actually more of a pacifist. This raises questions about Rahm's past. It also, if expanded on, could've delved deeper into Kota's distrust of clone troopers. As he is a third Jedi who knew about the clone army before it's deployment.
Battlefront 2015 is my favourite Battlefront. But if it was finished it would have been Battlefront 3. I have played that alpha, and yeah it's not amazing but if it was actually completed it would have been great. And the campaign (Which you can play in Battlefront: Elite Squadron) was great as well.
Ps2 Battlefronts 1 and 2 can be played online still! Just gotta use specific network settings and boom you can play online again! Sure the pc servers are back for Bf2 but it's fun nostalgia
Original Battlefront 2 story was written before the inhibitor chips were canon. So in the game they knew about Order 66 the whole time, but now it’s canon that the chip altered their brains to view the Jedi as traitors to the Republic. Hence the reason the turned on them. It was all a rouse by Sidious. That’s my nerd rant of the day.
The AI was really good for that time period too. You'd go quite some time with the AI being complete canon fodder then all of a sudden get absolutely slammed into a table by a sniper. The AI is hilarious.

What's the best Battlefront game?
2 original
2 definitely also who else loved just booting up assault on tha cantena level
2, nothing more, nothing less
2, because of the unlimited support of the community for modded maps etc.

Battlefront 2 (2017) after all the fixes.

@@mvrtinxz650 that's good to hear. I remember playing it on my friends ps2 in like 2008 and loving every second of it

There was also Renegade Squadron, which had a different battle style, but was a lot more seamless (and had troop customization)

the first 3 times the award doesn't matter, after 32 times the requirement lowers, 64 it becomes permanent. the elite rifle and flechette shotgun can really do some damage
13:50 ... the meta in bf1 was also explosives(antitank-guy was 80% of every lobby) and rolling or sniping, everything else was played by bots :D
what a time, loved it.
The first orginal one was definitely the best for me.
The best part about Battlefront II was 4 player splitscreen, which was pretty cool back in the day for couch gaming. Hero battles, Galactic Conquest...etc...
9:50 in the original release of battle front 2 they did use movie footage before playing the in game cutscenes, but they were removed for the steam release
I think there’s an option to enable the movie scenes in the steam version, not too sure though.
Battlefront II (2005) almost released without a singleplayer campaign but it was added late in development because the developers believed it was something that needed to be added.
That dedication did not deserve Filoni completely ignoring the clone rebellion on Kamino.
13:43
Yeah, the multiplayer is so unstable that blaster shots just don’t register most of the time, which means grenades are sometimes more reliable.
That's interesting. It's fun either way! :)
I had a demo version of the PSP game and it actually had the combined land and space battle. It only had one map since it was a demo (Tatooine), but I think they wanted to include both modes. You could spawn on a capital ship, in a fighter, or on the surface and by flying up you could transfer between ground and space. I expected you to mention this and was surprised that it was not actually in the full game.
You're talking about Elite Squadron! I'm going to be talking about that in Part 2 and while it does have surface to space, it's not seamless and they're almost treated like separate maps
I grew up with the first two battlefronts on ps2. Me and my cousins would play for hours on end, and I really wish I could play them again.
For those wondering, pretty sure the Montross theme is part of the backround music for this video.
Great vid dude!
Why is it that the Star Wars games we want to play the most are the ones that never get finished?
😢
Good to know battlefront 2 still has the same online meta. Back when I was a kid I'd plug my PS2 into dialup and all I'd do was drop infinte trip mines.
This just gave me the biggest nostalgia trip ever, back to 2002, playing LoTR: The Two Towers on XBox! I legitimately smelled scents I remembered from back then and everything. 😄😀
I to this very day await the space to ground combat that was promised in battlefront 3, great video as always
We actually got the entire story in "battlefront elite sqaudron" (i believe that was the name) i used to have that game on my nintendo DS. You play as X2 a clone that has jedi dna. You as X2 don't go trough with order 66 and turn on your brother X1. You join the rebellion and later get trained by luke skywalker. And in the end you and your brother (now both capable force users) fight to death on mustafar! God this story actually slapped hard!
I actually talk about it in part 2 :)
@@Niosai yeah haha, just watched it! And part three too! Great series! The games and your videos haha!
Well, the basics of the story is kept for ES but it's heavily slimmed down from what the actual BF3 story was going to be
It's really a shame you've only got 50k subs. You've taken up the task of having to play through multiple games per video on a weekly schedule, yet your videos continue to be such high quality. You deserve 300,000 at the VERY least.
I appreciate that 😭
At some point ,you have to do I played every street fighter 2
There's a build of Battlefront 3 that is 90% completed, we just need that one guy to leak it.
22:57
Okay, so this IS just Part 1, because I was ready to ask, "But what about the Renegade and Elite Squadron games?"
Yeah, no, Part 2 and all that jazz. Got it.
In case you don't know there were two more psp games that were sequels to battlefront (like how dbz evolution was a budokai game but not called budokai). They were called Star wars battlefront Elite Squadron and star wars battlefront renegade squadron. Elite Squadron also had a Nintendo DS version that played completely differently
Also I think "I play every Timesplitters game" should be added to the list of requests
You just described Part 2 :)
That's a fantastic idea! Added to the list!
@@Niosai Yeah at the end of the video it sounded like you were alluding to these games but felt the need to comment still just in case (especially about the ds version)
Oh man. I remember og bf2 online in 2012 the meta was to roll and use the vanguard/rocket land mines to wipe out 4-6 people at a time
Wish there was a mod for BFII that made all weapons feel as good as in the first game (2004)
Fun fact: On the PSP Battlefront 2, even though on the space battles the capital ships don't have interiors. They still have the destroyable targets in there floating in the air and you still get points for destroying them. You can get to them, if you glitch your fighter/bomber trough the hangar floor.
So the engine room is still there, just invisible? lmao
Yeah. Found out about it, when a ship respawned on top of my previously landed ship and i tried to take off with it, but then my ship just sank through the floor. What i find interesting, is that i can't find anyone speaking about this glitch.
There’s a PSP Battlefront game called Elite Squadron and the Battlefront 3 campaign pretty much got moved to that game
SWBF 2 was the best but SWBF 1 was also very amazing in its own right to!
17:58 acording to some devs game was 99% ready so if this is true leaked build its much older and unfinished that last build they had which probably only needed bug fixes and polish.
3:45 Oh yeah that sound takes me back.
I love the casual skipping of Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron on PSP in fact Elite Squadron is such a great game it's practically Battlefront 3
Part 2 includes those and should be out in the next day or two! :)
@@Niosai oh nice
My friends and I love the fact that Star wars Battlefront 2 (2005) had 4 player splitscreen for ps2 and Xbox. However, you need the 4 player adapter to make that work on ps2
This guy is so underrated. So much detail and a great presentation! Keep it up!
The original Battlefront II had a much better menu, UI, and character selection screen. If course the resolution and textures will be better on PC, so the gameplay will look better. As stated in the video there's online servers available, but it's way more fun to just play with your friends though
Battlefront II (2005) released with unique characters and maps on the original Xbox. I can't remember the maps, but Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress were the added hero characters who had completely original animations and voice lines. Asajj even has lightsaber nunchucks.
I cannot find any evidence of mods that add them to the PC version, meaning they're, to this day, still only in the Xbox version. Which didn't take anything away from the other versions, except XL mode on PC, which obviously it had to.
And yet no one ever talks about the Xbox version. They always say they played the Playstation 2 or PC version in their childhoods. Me included.
The Xbox DLC *is* a mod on Moddb.
@@ic0nic707 It is? First I've heard of it.
Fun fact, it's actually impossible to play every single released battlefront game in 2022, Star Wars Battlefront: Mobile Squadrons has been completely lost to time with only a few screenshots remaining.
😭 Yeah, tons of mobile game tie-ins to a bunch of series are gone forever. At least it's not due to the publisher intentionally making it unavailable, not that this outcome is much better
Don't even like Star Wars but I'll still listen to you talk about it. That's when you know you're winning at TH-cam
😭 appreciate that
Niosai! I have a suggestion
Could you play every Super Mario game or Sonic the Hedgehog game? 😆 I’d love to see you do that!
I'm saving these for a specific occasion but they're gonna happen! :)
13:31 I'm assuming you were playing in our SWGO Galactic Battles (US) server?
Btw I am SWGO Stormy, in your video. Thank you for covering this!
I believe I was! :)
Me and my cousin would play split screen space battles in the 2nd game and just keep betraying eachother in the hanger till the defeat screen came up. Good times. 😂
If you're craving a Battlefront fix, check out the Kyber Mod for Battlefront 2.
I love Star Wars battlefront 1 and 2 these games r my childhood. But BF1 will always be my favorite.
Original Battlefront 2 will always be the go-to for me
the first one is still the champ. i was in an unofficial tournament on xbox and my team made it to the final match. then my internet went down before it started and was out for two weeks. i never found out who won.....
New battlefront 2 does a good job at capturing the old ps2 battlefront days imo
Legit
EA should’ve taken a page from Free Radical with seamless ground to space combat in battlefront 2
I really hoped you played the mods for OG Battlefront 2 PC, it's truly outstanding.
For Star wars battlefront PSP there is a Mod project for it which works best on a PSP emulator. You get all Battlefront 1 and 2 maps, have a cheat menu, improved graphics and 64 bot matches, more heroes, more unit skins and so much more. I recommend you play it. With a PSP emulator you also can play the whole game on a phone. The whole star wars battlefront 2 experience. Really good.
I just commented the same thing lmao. It's a very solid mod despite the graphical issues and some lack of vehicles. I tried on my Vita and it was a whole new experience. A shame there's no galactic conquest nor story mode but since the mod is fairly new we just have to wait and see
After the support from DICE and all the treatment Battlefront 2 2017 got . I would have to say Battlefront 2 2017 is the best ,I have grown up playing hours and hours of battlefront 2 2005 on the PS2.
I remember playing the multiplayer for the PSP with cousins
We would use the heroes vs villian on tattoine trick and just goof off
fun times
My bois Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron deserve some love!
I had the first battlefront, and remember playing as a demo on xbox which came with the OT on dvd. But for the life of me, I cannot remember the PT being part of this game
Elite Squadron. It's Battlefront III, but on the PSP... and the DS, but that one sucks. Although the DS one does keep the cameo of Rahm Kota from The Force Unleashed intact.
Sadly, neither keep the interaction between the clone troopers, X1 and X2, and Ferroda during Order 66. That cutscene, I feel, is amazing. You can hear the anger in Ferroda's voice when he realizes Palpatine just ordered the Jedi's executions and then his tone shifting when he's forced to fight X1 and X2 to being desperate for them to stop fighting him. Trying to tap into their unique nature as they're not Jango Fett clones, and quite frankly, his friends.
Parts of Rahm Kota's interaction with X2 from Battlefront III also exist. And as always he's a hardass and I love him
Spoilers:
X1 and X2 are clones of Falon Grey, Rahm Kota's Padawan. Who was badly injured, and Kota went to the Kaminoans for help. They did, but also took some of Falon's DNA which they used to make X1 and X2. Falon acts completely different from his master, as in he's actually more of a pacifist. This raises questions about Rahm's past. It also, if expanded on, could've delved deeper into Kota's distrust of clone troopers. As he is a third Jedi who knew about the clone army before it's deployment.
The menu on console was epic, definately missed out on that
Yooo that kotor music blew me back to my childhood
Battlefront 2015 is my favourite Battlefront. But if it was finished it would have been Battlefront 3. I have played that alpha, and yeah it's not amazing but if it was actually completed it would have been great. And the campaign (Which you can play in Battlefront: Elite Squadron) was great as well.
Woah, I had no idea about battlefront 3, that looks like it would have been sick!
I know nothing about these games but by god I will watch this video to the end.
Ps2 Battlefronts 1 and 2 can be played online still! Just gotta use specific network settings and boom you can play online again! Sure the pc servers are back for Bf2 but it's fun nostalgia
I wish you had come across the PSP BF2 mods! They add back missing maps and more, Cool that you showed r7 too
Original Battlefront 2 story was written before the inhibitor chips were canon. So in the game they knew about Order 66 the whole time, but now it’s canon that the chip altered their brains to view the Jedi as traitors to the Republic. Hence the reason the turned on them. It was all a rouse by Sidious. That’s my nerd rant of the day.
The AI was really good for that time period too. You'd go quite some time with the AI being complete canon fodder then all of a sudden get absolutely slammed into a table by a sniper. The AI is hilarious.
The gameplay in the new Battlefront is so much better that I don’t even care if there’s not as many maps or modes as the original
That slapping kotor music at the start :D
