Alot of maps that we didnt get where a crime.... Utapau being one of them same with mandalore..... Which I don't like their excuse for not adding because they made maps like that work on older gen consoles back in the day with ps2 battlefront and it was fine
Possibly a hot take, the biggest reason Battlefront 2 was cancelled is Dice and EA themselves and the direction leadership took on launch. If they didn’t ship the game with all the insane grind requirements and micro transactions then it would have had much higher general sentiment and a much larger player base which would have garnered WAY more support. Also Dice’s 1-map a year production pipeline just isn’t sustainable for a live-service game.
That's not a Hot take That's Facts It was pretty good when the Micro transactions got taken away and then we were going to get some good updates Especially when Disney + shows We're just coming out which would have gave the game more updates but then EA Does the 100 IQ move to stop working on the Game💀

You are very right, but I think that Live Service would have ended sooner or later. The future of Battlefront certainly would have been a new installment on the current gen (back then next gen) consoles.
I personally am not bothered by the devs not caring to add more guns. A smaller pool of balanced guns beats having a bunch that either suck or are OP. Obviously anything added would be welcome but I’d rather their effort be towards skins, characters, maps, and maybe events or limited modes.
exactly, you can either have some really solid well balanced guns or have it like Call of Duty, where there is like 50 guns but only 1 or 2 are used becasue they are way more OP than all the rest
@@theaces3697 Yeah, and do "more guns" even necessarily make sense? Ie the average stormtrooper mainly used the E-11 Most clones could pick between DC-15A and S, sure, but they couldnt just go into the fight with other weapons. And imo thats totally fine. Infact id say its better that way.
I'd agree but dice was (was being the key word) good at balancing a huge amount of guns while making them all feel unique. Bf4 was a great example. Over a hundred guns and all viable while very few played the same.
I could see Respawn doing a battlefront 3 in the future, with how successful they’ve been with their Star Wars games and how well Apex has been doing. It would be really cool if they hired Dennis and a bunch of the other devs that left to head the project and let them have free reign over everything and to let them actually make the next game how they wanted it to be before it was shut down
And this time, actually make the lightsaber combat engaging and movie-like.. Instead of the current mess it’s in. I mean it is better than it was at launch, with that awful bouncing.. But it’s still not good or where it needs to be, for a modern-day STAR WARS game in 2017+.
If they would, either no heroes at all or make them much more balanced. As an avid Luke and supremacy player, I will full heartedly say heroes ruin the game
Having this information as rumors and leaks is one thing. Hearing that majority of them are true just hurts. Like a punch in the gut. I hope another studio can give us a proper Battlefront 3. I have been playing BF2 again lately and the playerbase on PlayStation at least is still pretty high.

It's because all the capitalists on top see in Star Wars is $$$$. They want to minimize effort, and maximize profit, that's what they do. They have no emotional connection to the series. It leaves us fans starved for content, and desperate, which makes us buy whatever dreg they allow to be made. Passionate devs are curtailed constantly, money siphoned, and eventually the passion is lost, and the game dies.
Its actually crazy how frequent we've been shafted, if they spent any amount of time just looking theyd know how much is to be made from sinply making a bf3. Dice was judt getting the balk rolling. We've been played out of bf3 TWICE and both times it was looking to be the best starwrs game out. Also rip 1313
EA didnt support it because the players werent playing it... if people hadnt been whiny little cry babies and actually played the damn game EA would have kept support for it, then once EA annouched they were cutting support a month later the players came back and then complained... sorry but this is the players faults for being idiots, i personally didnt stop playing until late last year
@@theaces3697 this is just not true,, the game was on its rise since the geonosis update and thats because they actually started caring about the game and actually adding content. they literally cancelled the game at its peak
We have like 12 Battlefield games. We don't have many triple A Star Wars games. And if they had just sold skins I would have bought them - playing Clone Wars era modes with fully voiced Delta squad Republic Commandos, Magnaguards for droid commandos, B1A droid jet troopers and Ahsoka Tano for Rey and Mace Windu for Luke really adds to the immersion.
Ngl I have like 3months of time played on Battlefield 2042. But I would do ANYTHING to have scraped that and bring more life to Battlefront 2. There's really no reason this game doesn't deserve a massive amount of attention. It's literally what Star Wars fans wanted and still want. So now what...we wait for them to recreate another Battlefront when they already had the means to make it better? Smfh.
I would of loved all game modes to be playable solo with ai and Co-op, like having galatic assault with ai offline couch co-op would of been sick what could of been
Personally, I wanted a little more focus on the non-hero combat. More guns, gadgets, that sort of thing. A No Hero mode in particular would have been most welcome, for those of us who just love infantry and vehicle combat.
I can still remember watching that final community update. And I can remember that I actually cried. A lot of us stuck by this game in its darkest days, to see it rise, to see it mostly shake of the lootbox stigma. To see fan favourite additions be added. It is still the game I have the most hours on, even though I have only played it irregularly for three years or so. I have so many memories with friends. The community, the devs, the game’s strong suits and the game’s flaws. Anakin being a brand new addition (I’d have loved if they had an event, once a year, where Anakin was is overpowered version again, maybe on Hayden’s birthday or something). I remember I made hero and reinforcement concepts for myself, for so many characters. Taking a peek at how the game was structured and trying to mimic it myself. I know it’s incredibly geeky, but that’s just what I am at times. Add the fact that a lot of new Star Wars content has really disappointed me and just Disney still handling the franchise the way they do. I don’t know… I’m just getting more apathetic to the franchise as a whole. There are other fantasy and sci-fi worlds that occupy my mind more, including ones I have made myself. I think I just value Star Wars less and less overall, though I do cherish the content I do love. And I have a couple of novels at the ready for my reading pleasure. That said, I alternate them with other series, such as Brandon Sanderson’s first Mistborn trilogy, at the moment. And I still want to read a song of ice and fire. And I write my own stories. Star Wars… I love it still, but it’s just being shoved towards the rear end of my mindspace.
I loved battlefront 2. When it got canceled, I shut of my xbox and didn’t play the game again until months later. This video makes me sad, but I do have hope that sometime in the future that the Star Wars leaders will realize the pain that their fans have and come together and give us the Battlefront 3 we deserve. We have to have hope!
I remember I played it so much but when I heard it was cancelled I immediately uninstalled it. I was so angry. I've reinstalled it here and there and played a few games and then just uninstalled it again. It isn't the same.
Here’s something interesting: I mod battlefront 2, and was searching through the voice files and I found two voice files labeled “Ashoka” (it’s misspelled like this in the files) and “Padme” how close we were to actually having them in the game :(
@@droidy365 I tried to port the voices over the FO officer (since that was what I was modding at the time), but in the game it was just a clone trooper’s voice. I don’t think there were any actual lines, more just a folder for when they were actually adding in voice lines
I don't think i was ever obsessed with a multiplayer game this much, TF2 aside. BF2 brought me so much joy, and the time between the launch of the game and it's end in 2021 was the best time of my life. Each update was like a holiday, i really wish they'd stick to it and deliver till the very end of EA-Star wars deal... 90% of the cancelation reasons was just "Not enough resources" Did EA gave them a total budget of 2.66$ or something??
It's 2014, you are a star wars fan disappointed that there will be no Battlefront 3. It's 2024, you are a star wars fan disappointed that there will be no Battlefront 3 again.
You know what they should've done? Leave a small team that works on anything in their reach for the game as long as they have the time and money for it, but they should make "competitions" every few months about new units and maps that fans and modders can apply to and the winning mod gets to go into the game officially. This way the devs don't need to do much map and character work other than polishing and modders get exposure.
I would have loved to see more factions and maps that have specific unique factions, for example mandalorians, umbarans, geonosians, and possibly old republic content.
Not just greed, but what also feels like hubris & dismissal. I get the sense that the dev team was going to the higher-ups at EA telling them the changes & new content was bringing more players to the game, only to be told, "yeah, whatever, give them some scraps with what you can, since these dumb Star Wars fans will eat up anything you give them if you string them along right, but we're not gonna actually flesh out this game beyond 2019." Like they couldn't figure out the "magical formula" to getting Star Wars fans to spend lots of money, when all it would have taken was respecting the opinions of the dev team who knew the pulse of the fandom because they themselves were fans.
man it just makes me so sad seeing this. hearing the reasons ea cancelled the game pisses me off so much. genuinely i feel like if ea did announce a continuation of bf2 or even a bf3 they would make so much money which seems to be the execs' driving motive anyway. the treatment ea has given this game from launch and then to its cancellation baffles me. at least the devs got to do a bit of what they wanted before ea pulled the plug
@@goonagun yeah bf1 and 2 were my first exposures to ea games that weren’t from their sports line lol I wasn’t aware they were such a bad company until 2020
God, Andor content would’ve been so much fun. Ferrix map, Aldhani, and Narkina-5 maps, Cassian and Syril as heroes, the MW-20 Bryar pistol as a weapon, Imperial Army skins, god, I would’ve paid good money for that.
I would've wanted more jedi and villain characters from different eras and a few new maps. Honestly I think that fans can make a fantastic Battlefront 3 and take it by storm. The only thing is that with all the crazy stuff going on in the world right now it would be difficult for the fans and others joining them to make it would have a hard time keeping the revenue or even the rights cuz we all know what would happen. And its sad. But We will hope and pray for a battle front 3 that can deliver and have more resources put into it than battlefront 2. For the republic
Pretty sure the ahsoka dispute was because she wasn't in live action form when dice wanted to bring her out and it would've had a negative impact to the reception of having ahsoka finally appear in live action. It's not about them not wanting ahsoka to be everywhere, it's just them not wanting to reveal live action ahsoka through a video game.
There has to be a way to bring it back. As a community and as a fandom, we can't just let this happen to a game we hold so near and dear to our hearts. We can't just stand by, we have to rebel like the alliance. For the Republic!
If there was one thing that DICE would’ve added into Battlefront II, it would be The Mandalorian content. Imagine Din Djarin, Moff Gideon, and have Luke Skywalker’s hooded robe skin in the game.
Man, I wish we got private matches. That kyber mod thing is annoying, every single thing you do you have to completely quit out and relaunch. It's so tedious.
I was holding out hope for Ki-Adi-Mundi and Zam Wessel (a shapeshifting demolitionist sniper sounded wild to me...sorta like a bothan spy but one that could mimick enemy units for a time and sow discord into the enemy backlines just sounds super unique), the B-Wing, Z-95 and TIE Defender, playable Crab Droids and more Hunt modes, and if possible a mode that is like the speeder chase tutorial mission or at least a stage of a larger mode. As far as maps go, I had a thing for both Rhen Varr maps and Naboo Plains, but also going to new wild and environmentally hostile places like Gamorr and the dark claustrophobic dens of the lower or even just middle levels of Coruscant
@@robloxrecroomenjoyerit's not dead, I can find any game mode within 3 minutes realistically. On weekends it's even better. Star Wars fans are keeping this game alive because it deserves to stay alive. It's a great game. Stop listening to podcasters and basing your opinions on what some basement dweller said so he could generate views.
I feel like captain rex would not have been that hard, just use the dual wield from the original arc trooper so without the secondary fire and give him some grenades, health boost, some simple abilities
what Id want added is melee suport characters like the manga gaurd and the clone assassins added. They'd each get access to a sidearm and would be able to sprint across the battlefield quickly. To balance this the ISB agent would get access to Agent Calus's transforming electro gun staff we see in rebels, and the rebels would get a dualwielding electro sticks kinda like what we see in the force unleashed on something like the purge troopers in jedi fallen order/survivor. Also Id want a better customization for weapons as well as more throable options for standard class units, as well as cosmetic options that can be used on the battlefield like night vision goggles, or helmet mounted binoculars and or target acquisition mods for helmets and hats.
We had BB8 and another ball droid as heroes… they most definitely prioritized the sequels over the prequels. Sure we got a bunch of clone trooper skins, but is that really worth it? Imagine if they had enough lightsaber heroes and villains to have a separate mode to the blaster heroes and villains.
I wish respawn or someone just took charge of something, there's a huge Community even if the game is dead too try too lift it back from the grave it has so much Potential for people too tap into it but it's just sad that people don't make the battle front 2 live again or a battle front 3
Absolutely. I spent £80 on lootboxes around launch. I know not everyone can do this. But the inability for EA to monetise the game caused EA to pull support. If we, as a community had understood the financial implications and forgiven their avarice then we would probably still have a living game.
Nah that’s victim blaming right there. Mystery loot boxes are akin to online gambling and got outlawed for a reason. There are other less predatory monetization strategies they could have used that people would be fine with, they chose to take the easy path
Thank you Andrew, for reminding us of all that Battlefront 2 has had happen. I agree with you, I've had many tears for this game, such great potential that wasn't given the live it deserved at its end.
My dream Battlefront game would be the fluidity and atmosphere of the EA battlefront games, with the gameplay of the OG Battlefront Games. That's literally all they need to do.
The fact that the mod community and the fans of Star Wars continuously have better content vision than game developers and movie and show writers continues to baffle me. They make Star Wars so complicated when it really could be so freaking easy…
idk if it's because I'm in OCE but it only ever puts me in empty lobbies waiting for 15+ players. Co-op or the other modes incorporating ai are the only things ever really available to me
A game truly ahead of its time especially with graphics. Could you imagine all content being free and earnable in games you already spent 70-100 dollars on to buy like battlefront. Gaming would be in such a better and more fun spot
No Battlefront 3, Battlefront 2 premature cancellation, EA/DICE's dumb choices and wanting Battlefield to succeed more than Battlefront, and it was mostly a flop... and they haven't learnt a damn thing. I am still a bit depressed about it all.
The problem with EA BF2 was the loss of an income stream to pay for further development work. I thought they would just release a new full-priced version every two years (2015, 2017, ...) and was prepared to pay another US$70 when the Clone Wars content was announced. I guess I should have realized that getting that for free meant EA had given up on BF.
What I misted wanted to see was a tv show based campaign (maybe as a second campaign not necessarily to replace the iden campaign) for example missions based off the geonosis arc, kamino, Felicia etc.
that moment when Dennis revealed general grievous, obi wan, count dooku, and anakin skywalker was so great. Not to mention Droidekas and the new capital supremacy mode were a dream come true. Still honestly one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Battlefront II had that balance between feeling like you're just another soldier AND also giving you enough power to make you feel like you're making a huge difference in the battle. Games with super high player counts just end up losing what games like Battlefront had. triple A titles need to stop pushing better graphics and higher player counts, and instead focus on actually interesting and fair gameplay. Yeah, Battlefront II isn't perfect for balance but it's pretty darn good.
With the reinforcement jedi, just add detailed customisation with hairstyles/ different races, different robes and lightsabers so the player has their own Jedi, instead of having repetitive generic ones
It seemed like the decision to pull the plug on Battlefront 2 was really an ultimatum for Dice and its developers after EA, Disney, and Lucas Film board members held a strategic meeting. The backlash against the potential monetary value of in-game transactions was but one of the major reasons to do it. Celebration Edition really meant, “you have ‘x’ amount of time to finish this product. Because we’re not spoon-feeding freebies of future content we’d rather expect people to pay more for watching on Disney+! For our best interests, upon ‘x’ day before Celebration Edition launches, your studio and staff will have already motioned towards another direction.”
I know its unrealistic but imagine if the dev team avoided everything that was the sequel trilogy, and only developed Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. All that money could have refined the game even further
I remember when hackers turned almost every lobby into invicibilty-mode. I emailed EA on the 19th of december 2021 and was in contact with a real legend over there. A few days later it was fixed. I'd like to think the me and Kapil was part of that. Wherever you are Kapil; thank you
The final update always brings a tear to my heart a lot happend that day I remember logging on and my telling me and my siblings someone in my family passed away
As a PC player who couldn't find any matches the few times he tried after the game was cancelled Hearing that cross play was an idea that didn't went through make me more depressed than I thought I would be after watching this

It leaves us fans starved for content, and desperate, which makes us buy whatever dreg they allow to be made. Passionate devs are curtailed constantly, money siphoned, and eventually the passion is lost, and the game dies.
fanbase great? load of this shit
I'm sorry, the fan base is great?
Nah the fanbase is absolutely horrible sorry to break it to you
Its actually crazy how frequent we've been shafted, if they spent any amount of time just looking theyd know how much is to be made from sinply making a bf3. Dice was judt getting the balk rolling.
We've been played out of bf3 TWICE and both times it was looking to be the best starwrs game out.

So tragic man. This game could have been amazing if EA supported it.
EA didnt support it because the players werent playing it... if people hadnt been whiny little cry babies and actually played the damn game EA would have kept support for it, then once EA annouched they were cutting support a month later the players came back and then complained... sorry but this is the players faults for being idiots, i personally didnt stop playing until late last year
That's just not true. There was public backlash sure, but you can't blame players for developers stopping development. @@theaces3697
@@theaces3697what do you mean? From what I’ve seen the community loved it. I loved this game and still do. I don’t know though, that’s just me.
@@theaces3697 The player base was massive, EA just wasn't making enough money
@@theaces3697 this is just not true,, the game was on its rise since the geonosis update and thats because they actually started caring about the game and actually adding content. they literally cancelled the game at its peak
they should add a map editor to the game so that we can make the maps. imagine what Rhen var citadel would look like in this battlefront game.
We have like 12 Battlefield games. We don't have many triple A Star Wars games. And if they had just sold skins I would have bought them - playing Clone Wars era modes with fully voiced Delta squad Republic Commandos, Magnaguards for droid commandos, B1A droid jet troopers and Ahsoka Tano for Rey and Mace Windu for Luke really adds to the immersion.
Ngl I have like 3months of time played on Battlefield 2042. But I would do ANYTHING to have scraped that and bring more life to Battlefront 2. There's really no reason this game doesn't deserve a massive amount of attention. It's literally what Star Wars fans wanted and still want. So now what...we wait for them to recreate another Battlefront when they already had the means to make it better? Smfh.
This game was literally my childhood I’m so sad they stopped updating it 😢
Your childhood was 3 years ago? Christ I’m old…
@@jackryan444 Lol pretty sure it released a bit before that
Geez how old are you?
I belive it'll be 6 or 7 years old this year in October....
@@truthspitter8156 God damn I was 10 years old when it launched that's crazy
>No Battlefront 3
>*Laughs in Galactic Contention*
Pretty much. Lol
Every single time I even hear BF2 I just think “the biggest heartbreak of last gen gaming” could’ve been SO DAMN GOOD. God. I hate it
I would of loved all game modes to be playable solo with ai and Co-op, like having galatic assault with ai offline couch co-op would of been sick what could of been
Personally, I wanted a little more focus on the non-hero combat. More guns, gadgets, that sort of thing. A No Hero mode in particular would have been most welcome, for those of us who just love infantry and vehicle combat.
7:43 Goddamnit the nostalgia hit me like a truck on the highway. I miss those short skits from Battlefront 1.
I can still remember watching that final community update. And I can remember that I actually cried. A lot of us stuck by this game in its darkest days, to see it rise, to see it mostly shake of the lootbox stigma. To see fan favourite additions be added. It is still the game I have the most hours on, even though I have only played it irregularly for three years or so. I have so many memories with friends. The community, the devs, the game’s strong suits and the game’s flaws. Anakin being a brand new addition (I’d have loved if they had an event, once a year, where Anakin was is overpowered version again, maybe on Hayden’s birthday or something). I remember I made hero and reinforcement concepts for myself, for so many characters. Taking a peek at how the game was structured and trying to mimic it myself. I know it’s incredibly geeky, but that’s just what I am at times. Add the fact that a lot of new Star Wars content has really disappointed me and just Disney still handling the franchise the way they do. I don’t know… I’m just getting more apathetic to the franchise as a whole. There are other fantasy and sci-fi worlds that occupy my mind more, including ones I have made myself. I think I just value Star Wars less and less overall, though I do cherish the content I do love. And I have a couple of novels at the ready for my reading pleasure. That said, I alternate them with other series, such as Brandon Sanderson’s first Mistborn trilogy, at the moment. And I still want to read a song of ice and fire. And I write my own stories. Star Wars… I love it still, but it’s just being shoved towards the rear end of my mindspace.
I loved battlefront 2. When it got canceled, I shut of my xbox and didn’t play the game again until months later. This video makes me sad, but I do have hope that sometime in the future that the Star Wars leaders will realize the pain that their fans have and come together and give us the Battlefront 3 we deserve. We have to have hope!
I remember I played it so much but when I heard it was cancelled I immediately uninstalled it. I was so angry. I've reinstalled it here and there and played a few games and then just uninstalled it again. It isn't the same.
Here’s something interesting: I mod battlefront 2, and was searching through the voice files and I found two voice files labeled “Ashoka” (it’s misspelled like this in the files) and “Padme” how close we were to actually having them in the game :(
That's very interesting stuff! What were the voice files specifically? Dialogue?
@@droidy365 I tried to port the voices over the FO officer (since that was what I was modding at the time), but in the game it was just a clone trooper’s voice. I don’t think there were any actual lines, more just a folder for when they were actually adding in voice lines
there was a rumour we would get Ahsoka and Padme as heroes back in the day.
Gotta love how EA gets the rights to Star Wars games, only to make no Star Wars games
This game had such amazing potential. Sadly most companies like this just forget about their games
I don't think i was ever obsessed with a multiplayer game this much, TF2 aside. BF2 brought me so much joy, and the time between the launch of the game and it's end in 2021 was the best time of my life. Each update was like a holiday, i really wish they'd stick to it and deliver till the very end of EA-Star wars deal...
90% of the cancelation reasons was just "Not enough resources" Did EA gave them a total budget of 2.66$ or something??
If EA wasn’t so annoying with stopping dice’s massive ambition because of money battlefront would be so good
It's 2014, you are a star wars fan disappointed that there will be no Battlefront 3.
It's 2024, you are a star wars fan disappointed that there will be no Battlefront 3 again.
I have played this game since it first came out and I still play it it saddens me that these ideas may never get used at all
Battlefront 3 is a cursed title. It never gets made for some reason even with the classics
I litterally just bought this game a week ago, and i thought th e bad news was the server is now permently down for online, nearly had heart attack
You know what they should've done? Leave a small team that works on anything in their reach for the game as long as they have the time and money for it, but they should make "competitions" every few months about new units and maps that fans and modders can apply to and the winning mod gets to go into the game officially. This way the devs don't need to do much map and character work other than polishing and modders get exposure.
Almost gave me heart attack thinking the servers where shutting down 😭
Fr, I had to leave the game I was playing
I would have loved to see more factions and maps that have specific unique factions, for example mandalorians, umbarans, geonosians, and possibly old republic content.
Short story is greed we'll never get a truly passionate game from this company because the executives are too greedy for their own good
Not just greed, but what also feels like hubris & dismissal. I get the sense that the dev team was going to the higher-ups at EA telling them the changes & new content was bringing more players to the game, only to be told, "yeah, whatever, give them some scraps with what you can, since these dumb Star Wars fans will eat up anything you give them if you string them along right, but we're not gonna actually flesh out this game beyond 2019." Like they couldn't figure out the "magical formula" to getting Star Wars fans to spend lots of money, when all it would have taken was respecting the opinions of the dev team who knew the pulse of the fandom because they themselves were fans.
man it just makes me so sad seeing this. hearing the reasons ea cancelled the game pisses me off so much. genuinely i feel like if ea did announce a continuation of bf2 or even a bf3 they would make so much money which seems to be the execs' driving motive anyway. the treatment ea has given this game from launch and then to its cancellation baffles me. at least the devs got to do a bit of what they wanted before ea pulled the plug
You clearly don’t know EA
@@goonagun yeah bf1 and 2 were my first exposures to ea games that weren’t from their sports line lol I wasn’t aware they were such a bad company until 2020
I think any game devs who are tasked to make a battlefront game find themselves cursed because we have never once gotten a 3rd battle front.
It's fun hearing all the characters that were planned for the game. Especially the random side characters,.
A galactic conquest like in the older games ( battlefront 1 & 2) for the newer battlefront 2
God, Andor content would’ve been so much fun. Ferrix map, Aldhani, and Narkina-5 maps, Cassian and Syril as heroes, the MW-20 Bryar pistol as a weapon, Imperial Army skins, god, I would’ve paid good money for that.
A Luthen character addition would have gone hard af
I would've wanted more jedi and villain characters from different eras and a few new maps. Honestly I think that fans can make a fantastic Battlefront 3 and take it by storm. The only thing is that with all the crazy stuff going on in the world right now it would be difficult for the fans and others joining them to make it would have a hard time keeping the revenue or even the rights cuz we all know what would happen. And its sad. But We will hope and pray for a battle front 3 that can deliver and have more resources put into it than battlefront 2. For the republic
Pretty sure the ahsoka dispute was because she wasn't in live action form when dice wanted to bring her out and it would've had a negative impact to the reception of having ahsoka finally appear in live action. It's not about them not wanting ahsoka to be everywhere, it's just them not wanting to reveal live action ahsoka through a video game.
There has to be a way to bring it back. As a community and as a fandom, we can't just let this happen to a game we hold so near and dear to our hearts. We can't just stand by, we have to rebel like the alliance. For the Republic!
There isn't LOL. It's dead.
@thefirstcurse3123 way to bring up moral pal
Hopefully one day we can all say this meme: "Babe come over." "Cant hanging out with the boys" "i have battlefront 3"
What's up my bro finally you uploaded
If there was one thing that DICE would’ve added into Battlefront II, it would be The Mandalorian content. Imagine Din Djarin, Moff Gideon, and have Luke Skywalker’s hooded robe skin in the game.
I thought the servers were getting shut down😭 You scared me bro
Man, I wish we got private matches. That kyber mod thing is annoying, every single thing you do you have to completely quit out and relaunch. It's so tedious.
I have been crying about Star Wars Battlefront 3 since Disney canceled the first one. 😭
I think the first one was cancelled before Disney bought Lucasfilm.
They could literally open it back up with a massive update and get half their fans back
I was holding out hope for Ki-Adi-Mundi and Zam Wessel (a shapeshifting demolitionist sniper sounded wild to me...sorta like a bothan spy but one that could mimick enemy units for a time and sow discord into the enemy backlines just sounds super unique), the B-Wing, Z-95 and TIE Defender, playable Crab Droids and more Hunt modes, and if possible a mode that is like the speeder chase tutorial mission or at least a stage of a larger mode.
As far as maps go, I had a thing for both Rhen Varr maps and Naboo Plains, but also going to new wild and environmentally hostile places like Gamorr and the dark claustrophobic dens of the lower or even just middle levels of Coruscant
A minor OT update with some skins and more maps would've been dope. I would've killed for some more StormTrooper skins
If I could add one thing to BFII, I would add Darth Jar Jar
Viewers: man geez UA-cam recs is boring lately
Star Wars Content: *Hello There!!!*
Literally just bought the game
y u buy a dead game????
@@robloxrecroomenjoyer It ain't dead yet. I can find games within a minute for most game modes
@@robloxrecroomenjoyerit's not dead, I can find any game mode within 3 minutes realistically. On weekends it's even better. Star Wars fans are keeping this game alive because it deserves to stay alive. It's a great game. Stop listening to podcasters and basing your opinions on what some basement dweller said so he could generate views.
no way same
@@sea_triscuit7980 I can find any game including Ewok hunt in 30 secs
it’ll always baffle my mind how they fumbled a billion dollar idea/company harder than a 10 foot dude missing a dunk on a 8 foot rim.
I feel like captain rex would not have been that hard, just use the dual wield from the original arc trooper so without the secondary fire and give him some grenades, health boost, some simple abilities
Then people would’ve cried it’s too similar
@@colonel1003 well now that the game hasn’t had live service in years, we gotta learn to not take any content for granted like we used to
what Id want added is melee suport characters like the manga gaurd and the clone assassins added. They'd each get access to a sidearm and would be able to sprint across the battlefield quickly.
To balance this the ISB agent would get access to Agent Calus's transforming electro gun staff we see in rebels, and the rebels would get a dualwielding electro sticks kinda like what we see in the force unleashed on something like the purge troopers in jedi fallen order/survivor.
Also Id want a better customization for weapons as well as more throable options for standard class units, as well as cosmetic options that can be used on the battlefield like night vision goggles, or helmet mounted binoculars and or target acquisition mods for helmets and hats.
I'm definitely gonna be crying😭
We had BB8 and another ball droid as heroes… they most definitely prioritized the sequels over the prequels. Sure we got a bunch of clone trooper skins, but is that really worth it? Imagine if they had enough lightsaber heroes and villains to have a separate mode to the blaster heroes and villains.
I just really wanted Mace Window.
close enough
@@breadproductions6139 It was an intentional misspelling because he went out the window
@@Jurassiccanonking fr Mace Window would've been awesome
I wish respawn or someone just took charge of something, there's a huge Community even if the game is dead too try too lift it back from the grave it has so much Potential for people too tap into it but it's just sad that people don't make the battle front 2 live again or a battle front 3
Absolutely. I spent £80 on lootboxes around launch. I know not everyone can do this.
But the inability for EA to monetise the game caused EA to pull support. If we,
as a community had understood the financial implications and forgiven their avarice then we would probably still have a living game.
Nah that’s victim blaming right there. Mystery loot boxes are akin to online gambling and got outlawed for a reason. There are other less predatory monetization strategies they could have used that people would be fine with, they chose to take the easy path
DLCs for new maps or certain skins costing money woulda worked
Thank you Andrew, for reminding us of all that Battlefront 2 has had happen. I agree with you, I've had many tears for this game, such great potential that wasn't given the live it deserved at its end.
This is just painful…
I love battlefront 2 so much. Its sad they are not going to be doing anymore updates
Pretty sure Imperial Agent has the face of Padme.
My dream Battlefront game would be the fluidity and atmosphere of the EA battlefront games, with the gameplay of the OG Battlefront Games.
That's literally all they need to do.
I think that somewhere there are general grievous voice lines revealing that there was Ashoka and padme
It really sucks knowing so many people want a game like this and they just wont make it.
The fact that the mod community and the fans of Star Wars continuously have better content vision than game developers and movie and show writers continues to baffle me. They make Star Wars so complicated when it really could be so freaking easy…
It’s not their agenda. They are not there to deliver quality content
Its cause higher ups dont listen to devs that actually know what they’re talking about
idk if it's because I'm in OCE but it only ever puts me in empty lobbies waiting for 15+ players. Co-op or the other modes incorporating ai are the only things ever really available to me
A game truly ahead of its time especially with graphics. Could you imagine all content being free and earnable in games you already spent 70-100 dollars on to buy like battlefront. Gaming would be in such a better and more fun spot
No Battlefront 3, Battlefront 2 premature cancellation, EA/DICE's dumb choices and wanting Battlefield to succeed more than Battlefront, and it was mostly a flop... and they haven't learnt a damn thing.
I am still a bit depressed about it all.
The problem with EA BF2 was the loss of an income stream to pay for further development work. I thought they would just release a new full-priced version every two years (2015, 2017, ...) and was prepared to pay another US$70 when the Clone Wars content was announced. I guess I should have realized that getting that for free meant EA had given up on BF.
Battle front 3 had soooooooo much potential it could have been game of the year
The Thumbnail: UBISOOOOOOOOFTT!!!
They really need to try for battlefront 3 now that we have consoles like the ps5 that can handle what they wanted to do and what the fans wanted.
What I misted wanted to see was a tv show based campaign (maybe as a second campaign not necessarily to replace the iden campaign) for example missions based off the geonosis arc, kamino, Felicia etc.
I would never wish this on my worst enemy
that moment when Dennis revealed general grievous, obi wan, count dooku, and anakin skywalker was so great. Not to mention Droidekas and the new capital supremacy mode were a dream come true. Still honestly one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Battlefront II had that balance between feeling like you're just another soldier AND also giving you enough power to make you feel like you're making a huge difference in the battle. Games with super high player counts just end up losing what games like Battlefront had.
triple A titles need to stop pushing better graphics and higher player counts, and instead focus on actually interesting and fair gameplay. Yeah, Battlefront II isn't perfect for balance but it's pretty darn good.
With the reinforcement jedi, just add detailed customisation with hairstyles/ different races, different robes and lightsabers so the player has their own Jedi, instead of having repetitive generic ones
Man imagine finally “completing” a game after you’ve released it then completely stopping support for it.
It seemed like the decision to pull the plug on Battlefront 2 was really an ultimatum for Dice and its developers after EA, Disney, and Lucas Film board members held a strategic meeting.
The backlash against the potential monetary value of in-game transactions was but one of the major reasons to do it.
Celebration Edition really meant, “you have ‘x’ amount of time to finish this product. Because we’re not spoon-feeding freebies of future content we’d rather expect people to pay more for watching on Disney+! For our best interests, upon ‘x’ day before Celebration Edition launches, your studio and staff will have already motioned towards another direction.”
I miss you and your updates man, they were the best moments to look forward to
I know its unrealistic but imagine if the dev team avoided everything that was the sequel trilogy, and only developed Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. All that money could have refined the game even further
I have so many credits I have no idea what to use it for .
I remember when hackers turned almost every lobby into invicibilty-mode. I emailed EA on the 19th of december 2021 and was in contact with a real legend over there. A few days later it was fixed. I'd like to think the me and Kapil was part of that. Wherever you are Kapil; thank you
The final update always brings a tear to my heart a lot happend that day I remember logging on and my telling me and my siblings someone in my family passed away
No mace windu... no padme,no jango ,no qui gon ,no cad bane..
dice is worth like 3 billion dollars and they cant add c3p0 voicelines because of "cost" my ass, bunch of stingy bastards
As a PC player who couldn't find any matches the few times he tried after the game was cancelled
Hearing that cross play was an idea that didn't went through make me more depressed than I thought I would be after watching this
Heartbreaking news and Dice Battlefront 2.
Name a more iconic duo.
At least the servers are still up. I got into this game late, but I'm glad I did at all.
Also I'm pretty sure Battlefront III is cursed
Another problem is not all content is playable for single player, like galactic assault
