Can’t wait for Aspyr to say their “vision is complete” after two patches lmao
their vision is probably already complete lol
That statement from EA and DICE pisses me off to this day. All they did was add stuff that should've been in the game at launch and then called it finished.
You joke but…
@@Aryanne_v2 One of the most hated companies in america for a reason.
More like “the product you already paid for is finally complete
Im in utter shock how they managed to take a game that was already done and finished, managed to add next to nothing, and STILL fucked it up
I think the funniest part is if you look up aspyr, they ported the game to mac in 2005. They already made a working port almost 20 years ago. How does this happen?
Imagine having more gigs than Elden Ring and being a contender for biggest scam since Day Before

Steam have the original what just run .
And even online .
So wy pay again for this ?
This really should have been an easy and smooth launch. Battlefront players can’t catch a break, lol.
thats why i think the battlefront series is cursed
This is why people should play through the originals, not the ea versions or the classic collection.
We have waited 15 years . We are resilient. It will be ok, they are working on it
@@suhsnow EA bf2 is super good, just a shame they stopped giving it service when it was at his peak...

@@alexgaelsotorodriguez3870 I bought it for single player like most people lol
@@alexgaelsotorodriguez3870 I have been having fun when I play
Man I’m really hoping they can turn it around. Not just to have a Battlefront game to play but to keep up your channel growth. It’s been a tough few years on the Star Wars gaming side of things.
why is no one talking about the other stuff wrong with the game, yeh i get it multiplayer doesn't work but so much more is messed up, like the for BF2 campaign half the cut scenes are missing,. The some of the UI elements aren't even wide screen. And for BF2 the split screen has awful cropping issues with health bars not even fitting in the box. Yeh multiplayer is broken but there is more to this collection that doesn't work
I've also been experiencing some bizarre, jump scare, loud audio glitches. Not that it detracts too much from the overall gameplay. However, it is a tad annoying.
@@froggy7570 same here, also there's no way to deploy a fleet on pc without a controller, they even messed up galactic assault💀
Player movement speed has been decreased and xl mode has no options for a timer, so games all end after less than 10 minutes, the list of issues are endless it seems
this is a gta trilogy level remaster disaster and it's absolutely tragic that it's happening to another beloved ps2 game franchise
Y axis inversion. It's a complete pass until that's patched in.
Problem with bf 2 2017 is I'm tired of playing the same maps over and over. And when I get to the map I want to play, there's never anyone in it.
Or, if you want to play singleplayer, a lot of features aren’t available.
Its not fun with all the heroes running around, they're the main reason i dont play the new battlefront anymore
In BF2017 I really missed the Maps of BF2015.. I loved the Endor maps.. and in my opinion parts of the character customization were much better in BF15.. for example that you were able to use any weapon u wanted.
@@MrWasGehtSieDasAn2000I don’t like the no classes in ea bf 2015 but I did enjoy the character customization more (helmet and body being separate instead of just one skin).
@@paulallen2680 Yeah, good point! I have no problem with the classes of BF17, but I missed some of the items from BF15.. cycler rifle, sniper rifle, jump pack and as I said before the amount of weapons to choose from. In general I often had the feeling that the weapons in BF15 had better balancing.. damage of the E-11 was better I think.
Anyone else struggling with the sensitivity? No matter how high I turn it up, it doesn’t actually change the speed. It takes 2 seconds just to turn around in 3rd person. Simply looking around is a pain. No matter what settings I mess with, the sensitivity doesn’t change. I’m on Xbox one.
Bro yes!!! On space combat in struggling bad on turns I tried to adjust the sensitivity to something high and it hardly made a difference
I am experiencing the same thing! It's absolutely horrible to turn to other directions, no matter how much you change the sensitivity.
might be obvious but are you changing tuning for each character type? ie jedi has different sense infantry star fighters etc
The space stuff is F'd, if you point at a cruiser at any point you're going to crash into good and slow 😬
the sensitivity has always been too low on battlefront 2 even in the original release, its fine on battlefront 1
This is why all games that push playing online should have all maps, game modes, & options should be playable offline with bots and split screen. A game that focuses on playing online is eventually going to fail because of not enough online players. I hate playing online because of all the issues mentioned and people online can be real turds.
I just might go back to playing the EA Battlefront at this point, just like controls better and how it plays. have no idea how to get a refund back though since I purchased it on my switch.
And that’s why the older Battlefront games is still practically gold because it was ahead of its time and provided a lot options and providing both singleplayer/splitscreen and multiplayer having the same modes for overall accessibility where areas modern Battlefront games pushed too much on the multiplayer side and that’s why despite its popularity it just doesn’t have the same appeal or accessibility
@@jamesdiaz5975 unfortunately it just doesn’t vibe with me overall, just got my refund for it.
@@jamesdiaz5975yep, doesn’t even have capital supremacy for offline or even private matches.
I really miss the old days of local couch multiplayer, barely any games have that now and that was unbeatable fun with friends or family.
Tried multiplayer, got into a game after 20 minutes, played one match, and then it wouldn't let me spawn in. Went right back to single player.
im sorry you paid $35

Forgot the part where the hit does damage 😅
Personally I think the sales of this collection will have no impact on the future potential of a Star Wars Battlefront "3" one way or another. The interest was there when it was announced, the interest in the series has always been there since the original in 2004. What I want is a proper remaster of Star Wars Battlefront Renegade Squadron because many people like me never got to play it, I only played Star Wars Battlefront Elite Squadron and the four released mainline Star Wars Battlefront games
Renegade squadron isn’t as fun as the original 2. Trust me your not missing much.
@@Foreignparisite You tell lies. Renegade Squadron was more fun than the OG PS2 games I'd say
@@carbonfibre_ it’s not a lie but an opinion, besides you can do much more on the original battlefronts and the maps are larger. Renegade squadron was made for psp, it was never meant for console. Trust me no one wants it if they’ve played it before. Maybe for psp if they still make those
If anyone is able to, all the PSP BF games work on the Vita, and you can move the controls for the face buttons to the Vita's second joystick. It is the absolute best way to play these games outside of emulation or a PSTV.
@@Foreignparisite elite squadron
How hard would it be for them to release Free Radical's BFIII? I know that build that is 99% done is just sitting in some archive somewhere at Lucasarts.
They probably won't be allowed to use that property if it's technically owned by another company still or something stupid but that game looks absolutely amazing and makes me so sad that it never got released
It’s not close to 99% done. It has the content but it was nowhere even close to being polished or ready for release. What you heard was either an exaggeration or a rumor.
Highly skeptical, given we've been hearing for 2 decades that the Duke Nukem Forever 2001 build was "90% complete" and when it finally got leaked a year or two ago, it had only like 2 playable levels populated with enemies, the rest were dead empty with no enemies, triggers, or even player start locations set, and of those 2 "playable" levels a million things were broken.
@@acarguy3773It's not owned by anything anymore because the companies that were involved no longer exist as companies. Yes the game is 99% done said recently from one of the original team leads that designed the game Barclay is the name. Who works at naughty dog now. Said that the battlefront community was robbed of having a really good Battlefront ever.
If anything, this just reconfirms for future potential investors in the Battlefront franchise that interest remains extremely high in 2024.
This actually had the opposite effect. There are not a lot of players playing on Steam and it hasn’t sold well due to the reviews. If anything this shows developers to stay far away from Star Wars, especially since you MUST go through Disney first since they own ALL right and properties of Star Wars.
@@UnchainedfulWhy though? Why should it show that just because Aspyr f**ked up? This should show developers not to be careless rushing games with 3 month deadlines instead.
@@BlueFusion2910 it should be that way but that’s never what happens. Whenever one of these games fails for technical
Issues companies usually point to a lack of interest in the property and usually gives devs an even harsher deadline for the next project creating an even worst situation. It’s been happening a lot in both the gaming and film industry and it doesn’t seem like it’ll change anytime soon.
@@thepathfinder11387 it will change if people start not buying the rushed slop.
It also shows we are extremely picky and will burn your studio to the ground if we aren't happy. Not defending this shit, but you can't tell me a developer in the world sees what happened with E.A. BF 1&2 then seeing the re-release (which is what we wanted) and because the first few days are trash we riot.
I wouldn't touch this franchise with a 20 ft pole if I was a developer. Hellll no
Star wars needs a studio that would not only make a great battlefront 3 that builds on what they didn't finish in bf2. It also wouldn't hurt to have more star wars games that are truly good story games like old republic where you could be a sith, jedi or all the others
IMPORTANT CONSOLE NOTE: I play on switch and it’s apparent that BF1 and BF2 sensitivity is messed up and only has aim assist OFFLINE. This makes playing online nearly impossible to have fun with. With no aim assist and terrible sensitivity options - added with aim acceleration that you cannot turn off, I’ll not be playing online at all until this is fixed/if fixed. BF2 offline is OK, BF1 on switch aiming offline is actually difficult due to aim acceleration. But for me - both online are nearly unplayable. Plus all the issues mentioned regarding short marches online. Curious if others are experiencing the same.
@@michaelvilaire-c9y that is very interesting! I’ve tried playing with it but still seems challenging. Perhaps it is a me issue but important to note that it isn’t an option available online. Either way.
Aim assist is a toggle you can turn on or off in custom matches online.
What may be even more sad is the peak player count never cracked 10k players. As of the time writing this comment on a sunday afternoon, more people are playing the newer battlefront 2 than the classic collection.
Still gonna be the 1 to say it, if EA would update the newer battlefront 2 with a surprise update that added an anti-cheat, rebalanced heroes, added new maps and heroes, we could potentially have 1 of the best battlefront games.
In defense of the classic battlefront collection, EA had a lot of time to make mistakes and fix what they fucked up. I’d like to have some faith that aspyr will do the same thing.
Give the next reboot to the team that worked on EA's BF2. They left DICE not long after killing BF2 for 2042 and formed their own company. Embark Studio.
EA didn’t make this….
I kinda doubt Embark has the time or interest in rereleasing an old game they didn't make
@@GeekyGamer412he’s talking about the EA BF2 🤦♂️
hes saying that the team that worked on the new bf2 should work on this game and fix it@@GeekyGamer412
@@PhoenixPalmer88 Sorry let me clarify. Give the next reboot to them.
On the switch it’s actually good only thing bad is the control of aiming but outside of that it’s great
No option to invert controls makes it unplayable for many.
I just want a fix for offline problems. I mostly play offline and hoth textures are broken and blue, I can’t use the droideka bcos it won’t roll up, when leaving a vehicle it messes up my controls for a few minutes, sensitivity is awful and invisible walls and textures just to make a few (ps5)
Yup, people need to stop ignoring the offline bugs, but since people are onlineoomers only the server issues get attention, and then Aspyr will only labour fixing those. Normies only care about playing online. They won't even ask for Hoth to get fixed
@@BlueFusion2910 exactly they should fix gameplay before multiplayer. There’s no point in having amazing servers if the gameplay is broken
Also has anyone noticed how weird the bf1 loading screen sounds compared to the original.
@@BuddyBoyOutdoors i didn't buy it yet but i saw a video of that. The original sounds were so good they butchered it
The fix for this is to buy the old Battlefront 2 classic.
My brother & I pre-purchased the switch version and haven't experienced any of the problems I've heard or see in reviews.
Hope it gets fixed across the board tho
I got it on Xbox and have played for like 6 hours with zero problems
I have it on PC and it's fine. These people are just posting videos for views.
I’m playing on ps4, everything is fine. Just dead with a few players
I am still a fan of BF2 2017 as my fav mp star wars game. They did a great fixing it and rebuilding it.They need to make Battlefront 3.
I found it fun, sadly you can't play on PC anymore because there's too many cheaters
Sooner or later developers and publishers have got to understand just how important it is to release a complete, stable game on day 1. This "we'll fix it later" mentality is blatantly disrespectful to each respective playerbase that has undergone this sort of treatment. You should have a complete, finished product on day 1, especially after dropping 35 smackaroos on it.
The servers are actually populated in Battlefront 2, it is another bug that shows servers as being empty or low. Need join one until you find a populated one. Hopefully they fix this next bug soon.
Bf1 on ps5 works almost fine and is more populated than pc. Bf2, is pretty rough still but there are dozens of dedicated servers now and they are very populated considering the roughness
On Xbox it's dead, yesterday evening we played with like 4 people and that was the most populated server. If all players would've come together in one server, we would've had 10 people. Maybe it was the time idk but that's embarrassing.
@@lmdvvyod yeah the difference is xbox has always had access to the game. I'm surprised anybody on xbox or pc bought it at all. It will remain heavily populated on playstation and switch.
@bennettnez4711 There was no online for Xbox, only single player. And for me personally, I use the Series S, so I can't use my old Battlefront 1&2 Discs. Online Key Stores don't sell them for Xbox, so I had to buy both for 10€ each in the Xbox Store. Paying 10€ more and getting more Maps, Heros, modes, better textures and online multi-player seemed like a good deal to me.
Yeah went on the next two days when it wasn’t crowded, it played smoothly for the most part on both games mostly BF1, and there was a players playing in and out on different maps so it wasn’t completely dead, and this was right before I hopped back to playing singleplayer, overall Aspyr just needs to make there servers bigger for larger lobby handling and fix the remaining issues on offline
If they fixed stuff, 100% people would come back. We are talking about one of the most popular games of an entire generation. Just it's a big if of if they can fix it or not.
Dude, a Star Wars Helldivers-like where you play as Clones or Rebels fighting the CIS or Empire would be amazing!
Somewhat similar to that smaller tactical shooter that Lucasarts was working on before it got canceled.
Idk I thought I’d only get it to play online, but I’m also having a blast offline, it makes me feel like a kid again. So dead online..? Maybe. Dead for my enjoyment HELL NO!
Offline also has issues but of course normies and youtubers only talk about the server and netcode issues
...half the cutscenes are literally absent from bf2 campaign. Let's not act like the offline isn't broken as well lol.
@@NewMilleniumDawn did I say it isn’t broken? No. But I’m still having fun. Growing up early 2000’s half the games I played were broken, doesn’t change whether or not I have fun.
@@JoeyPitts22 Ah ok fair enough then. Enjoy the game 🎮
@@JoeyPitts22same here I'm having fun playing instant action on my ps5, but if I got this on pc I'd have got a refund since it's just the sane as the og but without some features and with broken online
I still wish galactic conquest could be online
It's sort of possible through Steam with remote play.
I’ve noticed on Switch, in BF1, the little noise during the loading screen sometimes don’t play or don’t play fully.
I have experienced a few bugs and annoyances sometimes, but honestly ive been thoroughly enjoying the multiplayer, especially since they raised the unit count.
All I know is I played the OG BF games so much back then and for them to flop it 20 years later!!!!?? How!!! 😂😂😂😭
There's a mod for the army sim Squad that turns it into a star wars game. And it's not just a reskin either it actually adds the worlds, the weapons, the UI, the vehicles, it's amazing! It's like its own game. You should probably check it out just for your own mental health.
When people say the singleplayer is good, are we forgetting that half the cutscenes are absent?
The thing that upsets me the most that I see hardly anyone talking about is that the game is region locked!!! I literally can’t play with my friends!!!
A huge percentage of players can’t even play due to the missing invert Y axis option. I will not play this game again until this is fixed,
I played on the switch a few matches, on multiple matches and the game runs smoothly for me surprisingly the only bug I see is when the pop up menu showing the command post and it’s starts bugging a bit, but other then that, playing quick play runs well and I’ve been having fun
I play on Switch and for the past two days, I cannot "Join" a game or search with filtered playlists on either Battlefront games. The game will crash every single time. So I am stuck to doing Quick Matches. I have had some fun but as someone who never played these Battlefront games, I wish it was a better experience.
Still cant invert my controls! It was fine on release since I was only playing single player but after the latest update I can't invert any of my controls so it's unplayable for the moment
The part that gets me is that it’s not the games that suck. It’s the greed behind the people making these games. Like ea and now aspyer they just keep making greedy decisions and we the fans get the shaft in more ways than one.
It’s truly dead now, the maximum amount of people on average is five
Bf 2017, people considered it a flop. But it bounced back. This game will bounced back. I played on the switch for MP and had little to no issues.
Ps5 is still a little unstable online, but VERY populated
The 2017 BF bounce back because of the team behind it, sadly the people behind this game has a very bad record. I hope hope this game would be an exception but I recomend to not have a lot of hope
@yubikamikaze2075 despite this game, they did a tremendous job with the tomb raider remastered trilogy. I'm able to play the 1st game again and now parts 2 and 3. So if people keep pushing then, unless they say no, they'll keep working on it.
It baffles me how modern developers can’t even PORT old games without adding bugs and removing content.
I’m a Software Engineer and I can tell you everyone with the tiniest bit of skill is staying miles away from the gaming industry because they pay you a misery and treat you like garbage, while other companies asking for programmers pay way more and actually treat you like an office worker.
Its just so sad. Imo they've ruined a true classic that should be sacred
I'm just having fun playing the game offline on my switch like how I used to play it despite some bugs and errors.
But I still hope Aspyr can get there stuff together and fix the issues in both online and offline stuff. Like audio issues and end mission cutscenes in Star Wars Battlefront 2's campaign.
It better have died.
I dont know why everyones trashing classic Battlefront 2 entirely, its just the shitty Aspyr company and their port of Battlefront 2.
You can still get the original ported versions from 2005 Lucasfilm and Pandemic Studio that work fine and are cheaper, plus download free mods to make the game look more like it was made 10 years ago then 23, and to get the xbox exclusive DLC THAT WORKS on Xbox one/series if you buy BF2 on there too
Nope because offline play is still a thing and it's still fun as hell to play with your friends.
I really want them to hurry and fix the game because all I wanted for years is for these games to come back and have a consistent player base where I can casually jump into a match and have a good time playing with people all over the world, is that so much to ask for?
I bought it just for the single player just to see that didn’t work either
At least on PC we have the older version still for sale. And the servers work and the mods add a lot too.
it has poteninal to survive but they need to act quickly
and for the statement that should have happend few hours after the fact not a full day later
This game needs to be able to allow me to invite my brother to a game and then for us to search for a lobby at the moment it’s almost impossible to see such for a lobby together
Also if you want to play classic battlefront you can play it on this game called contractors VR
As a Switch player, my guess is Aspyr originally planned this to be just a Switch port (due to them mainly focusing on Switch ports of Star Wars games) and then realized part way “oh crap, Battlefront is a popular game and other consoles might want this.”
Aside from the multiplayer servers and missing cutscenes, my top fix would have to be the lighting.
I can't explain it, but some of the maps in BFII just seem improperly lit when compared the original version. Especially Mustafar.
Loving it on the switch right now. Definitely some glitches that should be fixed. I personally dont play online but hope it does get fixed.
it is but almost no one's playing it. hope that changes
Is anyone else noticing the bug where the ai won’t spawn as a hero in instant action on battlefront 2? Kinda takes away some of the front
I wish more people would play Battlefront 1 the servers for that game are waayyyy better than they are in Battlefront 2
What set me over the edge was issues with the scope controls and more importantly, no setting for inverted controls which is an essential feature for me in space battles which is my favorite part of Battlefront II
Already refunded; i was 20 minutes till my refund was void, better to refund and just buy it later.. assuming it even reaches a point wherr it's worth the buy.
Xbox player here, servers feel fine for me. Only issue is that the sensitivity on BF2 is awful. I don’t know if it’s the aim acceleration or what but aiming is so hard. Sensitivity is fine on BF1 at least. I just wish there where more full servers barely anyone is playing
Refunded 2 minutes after playing it, I’ll pick it up again when it goes on sale I’ll stick to the OG for now
THANK YOU!!!!! I feel like no one is talking about the ending mission monologues being missing from the BF2 campaign. It’s so infuriating like how did you remaster a 20 year old game and somehow you’ve lost or left out pieces of the story mode
Failed cash grab
I really like how you put it “you want a single player battlefront game - go to the original. You want a multiplayer battlefront game, go the EA battlefront 2”
It’s just that simple. As long as my campaign and instant action works on the original and I can connect to my childhood memories like that. I’m completely fine with the game.
For Xbox players, if you’re only enjoying the offline modes of the classic collection. I’d still recommend refunding it as you can literally get the same content including the maps and heroes for a way cheaper price just without the online multiplayer. A shame that this collection turned out to be such a disaster.
on single player you can even get more maps and heroes with mods and its really easy to install, just copy and paste
I just bought the original Battlefront II 2005 for my friend for $10 on Steam. It works great, has a wealth of mods, and has multiplayer with a few active servers. Why not go play that instead? It's fully functional. The servers lag depending on where you're located, but it's better than the alternative.
Was on last night for the first time and Jesus you were not joking. It’s sad and just about unplayable 90% of the time due to hit registration hardly working. There were around 3-4 full servers on PlayStation which was sad to see. I bought the game out of support for the idea and title but now I do wonder if it’ll ever be playable at this rate. With a lot of games I do feel they hinge so much in their sales and plan 25% if the process for post launch. No point in paying developers to complete a game if they don’t even know whether it’ll be successful or not. Not my opinion but it seems to be something EA pushes to save on costs. That would make me hope that sales drive this game to be fixed but with the state it’s in now I just don’t know if there will be a player base by the time that happens
It’s depressing, when the game first launch almost all servers were full, but now it’s barely can fill half
Aspyr need to REALLY work hard to make this game bounce back! I'm seriously tired of this series being treated like it has little worth.
Quickest refund I’ve ever done.
Never pre order literally anything, waiting a day or two for real reviews after launch won't kill you.
Anyone know how to disable the sticky reticle on console permanently? I've turned it off in the menus but it still stays on- makes shooting in the game really annoying
honestly, i went back to the old swbf2 and theres a few servers with people on them still. just last night i joined a game with 60 players in it. im not talking about the collection just to clarify.
I have Battlefront 2 and EaW/FoC, but they are physical versions, but without a no CD patch of some nature, I am not confident I won't tear up the discs since I played them ao much, especially modded. Expanding Fronts functions as a no CD patch for Galactic Battlegrounds/Clone Campaigns. I want to play Dark Times II: Rising Son and Battlefront Conversion Pack, ideally with the Xbox DLC, and all of the great EaW mods like Thrawn's Revenge, RaW, and AoR. I guess just rebuying them on Steam is probably the best solution.
I legit just bought the game for Xbox series X and I'm having a blast playing single player and split screen
They need to put invert y axis. I can’t play it.
The best hope for this game is for them to add crossplay once all the major bugs and server issues are fixed. A lot of people are dropping this game across all platforms so the only chance of it maintaining a somewhat decent player count is by allowing everyone on all platforms to play together.
The biggest and saddest thing, it was such a mess so many people have already refunded it. Hence the quiet server population and it will take something major to bring them back.
I wish there was an option to not download the FMVs if you would rather have the multi gigs storage back.
Heard that it's actually the upscaled textures that do that. Apparently there's a lot of upscaled BS to make everything look crisp, but they didn't think to try to compress any of it.
I never got the outrageous lag or desyncing that you're getting here. I did notice the dead servers and probably most alarming was that when me and my friend were trying to find a server to play on, we realized we were getting a completely different list of servers. Could not find a single server in common with each other on the browser with no filters on BF2. It was the same on BF1 for a while but then after a few refreshes we would get the same server lists. Has anyone else had this problem because I wasn't able to find anyone talking about this
it was like that for a day, i tried it. now everyone cried and moaned about it so no one's playing when all they had to do was wait a little bit
They had a standard job, and it was pretty simple as it’s off things already existing.
Get the two games that have been remastered/ported onto Steam and see what people are doing with them, mods, changes, reviews, etc.
Make them work on current consoles with servers online.
Add some little changes to make the price of purchasing make sense, allow nostalgia by keeping the old bits too, like single player.
Do some patching, do some testing.
Release… working…
Hmm, shame. I will get it and play it in the future. But not now.
I refunded the game for a lot of reasons, but if the issues were fixed and I could play multiplayer I would buy it back no questions asked.
I will say this, as a huge battlefront fan there will never again be a “Oh my god it looks so good” or “I’m so excited” they will need to prove themselves if anyone touches the franchise again
Wish I had the option to refund on the PS5. This is the biggest scam to this franchise, what a joke.
We as the battlefront community, cannot just let this slide. Let’s keep on them and boycott any of their future games until they POLISH this one and convert to crossplay!
So finally got to play it. I'm on Xbox series x, it is a blast! Huge multilayer games, lots of chaos! So far after about 5 hours, not much bugs. There is some desync occasionally and random deaths, but nothing crazy
I refunded the game after about 40 minutes of playing. Multi-player was just awful, and even when I could get into a match, people were glitching everywhere and like 80% of my shots just didn't register. I gave up on that and tried single-player, and it was just as bad. The AI was never amazing in the originals, but they just straight up lobotomized them, running into walls and also glitching all over the place. When I ended the mission and didn't get the ending cutscene, immediately refunded it and picked up a few games from the Steam spring sale instead.
I still don’t understand why people got this on PC when the ogs are on Steam and have online
The modern age every game launch is a flop😂
Desperate for EA to put a statement out.. “We are renewing support on Battlefront 2, 2 new maps coming to supremacy and 2 new heroes with full online support” 😭😭😭 please EA!
Dude didn't even acknowledge the game on ps4 and ps5.
Not like it matters. I just got in the game on PS5 and there's less than 100 people online.
The games is cross gen...
Fun fact, I remember the original Battlefront being buggy on launch, Geonosis not loading at all because of a patch issue.
I just want to blast droids while crab walking on a capture point
The pre-orders are part of the proceeds for video games. Maybe wait to do research on a game and decide for yourself what you think you want to do before getting impulsive, pre-ordering a game and giving support to shitty games. Be smart gamers
I don’t get why they couldn’t have delayed it. Nobody was even expecting this re-release until a few weeks back. Releasing it in a much better state later on would’ve been good for sales too.
Hey my fellow Playstation 4/5 Players! I'm thinking about buying the collection for the Playstation 4 (mostly for the online part) but I got no idea if it's still populated, that it would make worth it. Is it still playable with plenty of players?
I'm not super happy with how the multi player is super laggy. However, I got on last night and was in a server with 50 people. It was crazy and still some fun.
