- There's no denying that the launch of Battlefront 2 was disastrous. Star Cards, pay-to-win microtransactions, and so much more hurt an otherwise amazing game. Over the years, DICE worked hard to right the wrongs by delivering consistent, quality content for free. Unfortunately, I never got to check much of that out but with Star Wars Day approaching, I thought now would be a great time to see how the game fares!

Imagine how much more popular it would be if it launched like this
It sold over 7 million in 1 1/2 months from launch…
@@sosamanotf642 yeah and imagine how much more popular it would have been if it launched like this
@@sosamanotf642 someone didnt uderstand the original comment lol
Or imagine they kept supporting the game instead of ditching it for shitty BFV
@@ianleifheit7105 No, he's right, how many of those 7 1/2 million copies were returned because of the predatory micro transactions? The game was a disaster until like a year after launch.
A Battlefront 3 with:
-Crossplay
-A massive amount of single player offerings
-New stuff from the shows
-etc
Would rock my world for star wars games.
And private servers, do not forget!!!! I've been wanting private servers since day 1 of this game!!!!
nothing from the shows is any good
@@bostyt50 having the option there is nice plus it's more stuff to play with.
@@bostyt50 There are still a few good shows that did well.
@@RRai2000 not really. Andor and bad batch were the only decent shows. Kenobi was a dumpsterfire and so was bobf and mando s3 was as bland and a saltine cracker.
I love this game. It's sad they stopped adding even more content. Hopefully we eventually get a third.
To think it was gonna get more content, but EA pulled development off so they could work on Battlefield 2042 😂
@@raidengoodman8754 oh dang
If EA wants some easy money, they better do it
@@gamerkev30 There are so many more characters, worlds, and modes they could add in.
BF V also... both games deserve more content for a while. but no, we got Crapfield 2042.
it hurts so much that the two games had to die for it.. wasted potential :(
I still feel like this is one of the best looking games of last generation. It still looks good enough to be from this gen in my opinion.
I agree. It feels like a Launch ps5 and series x game
@@ghostlegit And oddly enough, Battlefront 1 looked better in some cases due to the heavy, and well realized, reliance on photogrammetry. It was stellar and ran pretty well at the time, too. They didn't water it down just because it had an MP focus.
@@BoomSlang001Battlefront 2015's explosion effects look *so* good, not to mention the audio 😙👌
True, I Play this on my PS5 and I just always feel like the game is for this Generation.
I was genuinely devastated when they cancelled support. The dlc was finally hitting its stride. And the devs talking about how they had Ahsoka, Ventress and Mustafar pretty much ready to go for the next dlc drop really just adds insult to injury
This is DICE's MO now. Release a shit game, fix it and make it amazing, and then drop support to start the cycle all over again.
@@The_InfantMalePollockFrancisDice isn’t the problem, it’s EA… the Devs at DICE genuinely gave a shit about the players and what they wanted… Ben Walke actually listened to the community and gave us clone wars content as well as balance fixes etc… Blame EA for forcing DICE to leave Battlefront 2 and work on Battlefield 2042
We were supposed to get Ahsoka and Padme according to the devs. There’s even pc files of Grievous addressing them
Yep. Asajj Ventress too
They were also in the process of working on Mustafar as a map.
Padmé, Ashoka, and Asajj would’ve been a dream for me considering they’ve never been playable in a Triple A game.
Padmé would’ve been a prime choice for Geonosis and Naboo, especially if they added Jango Fett. While Ahsoka and Ventress would’ve been the perfect balance.
I would’ve even been happy if they just added a reskin to Leia’s outfits, allowing you to turn her into Padmé.
The memories I have on this game with friends are amazing. Broke my heart when they announced that they were stopping updates when it was still extremely popular
Im literally redownloading and trying to get my ONE FRIEND i still talk to to squad up lol
@@MrWorstNews did you guys end up playing together
This game eventually became almost everything that I had hoped a modern, rebooted Battlefront would be. Never added Galactic Conquest, but... still a great game.
I swear that held this game back a lot. Galactic Assault was nowhere near the fun of Conquest and the maps in Conquest were wayy bigger and really had you feeling like you were a part of the wars in the movies. BF2 messed up by making the maps smaller. Ill never have as much fun on Supremacy or Galactic Assault like the fun I had on Galactic Conquest in BF1. Even had all my friends come from Battlefield 1 to Battlefront 1 cuz of this.
Now all thats good in Battlefront 2 is the Hero Showdown and Ewok Hunt i.m.o everything else including the campaign besides Luke's Pillio mission is trash.
This game was nothing like the battlefront I expected. There isn’t even multi-passenger vehicles
@@paulallen2680 Aren't the AT-TEs on Geonosis multi-person? Been a little while since I've played.
@@joelbecker5389 only on battlefront 2004. If they’re on ea battlefront 2 then they’re nothing like what I’m talking about as they are not multi-passenger and you don’t even get to fly them.
Still one of my favorite multiplayer games ever. Wish this series could come back.
the koop missions are so good. i love when there is a huge crowd of enemys and ya gotta get through them with your koop buddys. You gonna get blasted by 100 bolts if you simple rush in so you have to flank or have strategie as well so the bots are still bots, but they come in numbers which is the core fun
Reminder to everyone that every Wednesday, there’s a 3x XP event, that works in coop
Have fun grinding heroes and troopers without restraint!!!
This game turned out excellent. On PC with mods is next level.
mods still work?
@@ultimis3658 oh yeah. There's crazy mods you can play on custom servers.
IF mods work. For me the game have decided now after 4 years of using mods that it crashes randomly in 30-60min of gaming. Only solution is to delete ModData and re-enable mods so then I can play normally for 2 days before the same cycle happens.
Dope vid man! Definitely cut off way too soon.
You have every cosmetic because you have the celebration edition btw if you didn’t know, it a £20 upgrade in the uk to get the celebration edition, idk about elsewhere
@GuyInCLE i agree
The game's pretty solid, but for all of the improvements and content that DICE added over time, there were just as many cases of jank and bugs as they worked through that process. There was over a month during summer of 2018 (WELL after launch) during which Palpatine became so broken that they had to remove him from the game. The couple of years of updates consistently introduced new unexpected issues like that, and the game remains in a relatively buggy state since they stopped supporting it.
The game is good, but it was arguably killed as it reached its peak. We were on the verge of greatness, we were THIS CLOSE.
Its not buggy now…..
It isn't Buggy from my experience. Runs extremely well.
What a treat
Love this game, played since it came out and I still find myself going back to it. The shooting is so satisfying and graphics are incredible
Tbh, I enjoyed the game from the very start and I think Dice going back and making changes and updates and fixing the game gave it more depth in a way. It made it more special. What a time to be alive. This game had so much potential, and even with the refocus, the game was still a great experience. I truly enjoyed the ups and downs. To me it made the game more memorable and gave it its own unique taste.
Me too, I’ve been with it since the beginning and I had great fun. But the game truly became amazing when capital supremacy was introduced (when Obi Wan and Grievous were added)
For those who are buying this game for the first time to know going in
1. Star Cards
They are not "game breaking" but will make a difference and add different tweaks to your character's abilities. There are metas but ultimately the combination is what suits your playstyle
2. Weapons
They 100% make a huge difference, there are many tutorials on UA-cam that explains the benefits of each one
3. Game Modes
The wait times aren't bad and I get into populated lobbies easily (I play on PC so this might be different with consoles). The most popular are Galactic Assault, Supremacy (specifically "Age of the Republic"), and Heroes and Villains. I've been playing a bit of Blast recently but for me you can really only get full lobbies during peak hours
Thank you 🙏
This game had so much potential and after keeping up with what the devs had in store for the game's future we would have gotten so much more, including a possibility of the long requested Galactic Conquest mode showing up
Respawn is the only studio I trust to make a "Battlefront 3"
Played this today on my PC for the first time and it looked and played excellent 👌🏽 If this game came out today it would be insanely popular
Almost every video you make, I can relate and appreciate what you are saying and feeling. Thank you for doing you're thing an allowing me to watch some good content before class lol :P but fr thank you
I swore I would never buy this when it first came out. Years later it was on sale for like $5 and people were saying it had improved since launch, so I gave it a shot and ended up getting incredibly addicted. The game is sooo good now. The original Battlefront 2 had been my favorite Star Wars game for years but with all the improvements and free content this new Battlefront 2 has surpassed the original in my opinion.
What’s your favorite mode? Mines easily Capital and Heroes v Villains. I play Heavy and Mail + Dooku/Leia + Luke for heroes.
I still play this game online. Mostly Co-Op Missions. I got tired of playing against people. I ranked up my Heavy class to about 200 before I swapped to Co-Op though. Heavy class is now 400+
@GuyInCLE I as well dude! Too many times I really feel like I helped push the tide of battle in my teams favor..also the sense of badassery when you're the only one on your team with hundreds of levels in a class..next level shit man.
I recently just golf into Star Wars. I’ll be picking this up very soon and I can’t wait
I love watching retro rebound when I’m sick, idk it’s just comforting. Thanks Matty!
Matty's a vibe. Seems like a dude everyone would wanna chill with 🤙
@@Bisonshadaaloo exactly!!
I still have this game to this day. Before I got this game for Christmas in 2017, My Brother-in-law warned me it was really expensive to play. Because of this, I traded it in my local Gamestop store. Then in 2019, I bought the game back after seeing a lot of good reviews at that time. I played it enough times, I fell in love it. I haven't even been charged a single penny.
Man i remember how close to hitting the old battlefront 2 on ps2 they got with this one, but man it was nice having the nostalgia.
I mean its a good thing the devs listened to us and made updates and fixing stuff
I think you only get most of the skins unlocked like that if you have the celebration edition. I know everyone seems to hate BF 2015 but it did have a lot of great maps, would have been great to see those back.
I was confused, wondering why when I logged on a week ago I didn't have all the skins unlocked...
Man I loved battlefront 2015. I find it to be better than 2.
@@bilbomcbaggins Because you need to have the Celebration Edition.
@russianinvader3207 to be honest is the celebration edition even worth it in 2023?
@@cktankgirl5236 it often goes on sale for a few dollars
I actually just happened to have played some Battlefront 2 a few days before you posted this. I really wish the starfighter assault mode had gotten more support with different maps and vehicles, while nowhere near as complex as something like Squadrons it was still very accessible and fun.
I love this game. Started playing again on May 4th and I’m addicted again.
Convenient timing, my friends and I have recently got into playing this game again!
Dude, that Ewok gametype is some of the best gaming I’ve ever had….
Being an Ewok is hilarious!
I'm just not a online multiplayer guy but I had some good fun with the story mode.
You can play matches offline and I dipped into playing some of the heros but without the multiplayer aspect in matches I think something is lost.
The multiplayer is so fun, it is hard while leveling up, but when you get there, it is so much fun.
Does this game have couch co-op?
I dont have internet access but if this game allows me to go against just the bots I'd be happy
Its such a banger of a game. I just got back into playing it after a year or so off, and its just as fun as it was when I left. I can't think of another shooter I like nearly as much
DICE is amazing at constantly dropping the ball on something should be a slam dunk. I mean Jesus, as a fan for a decade of their games, they are consistently the most frustrating developers. They make my fav multiplayer games, but I just can't help but think about what those games COULD have been, but was never realized because they dropped the game too early, both at the start and end. So frustrating
Blame Electronic assholes.They are in charge.
Another fantastic video from Retro Rebound
It was confirmed this game was like one update away from ahsoka as a hero and i think ventress? I believe mustafar was coming too
I used to play this one a lot back then, before & after the reworks. Yes, it's a very different game from launch, but it still left with a lot of problems, the linearity, the Star Card system, lack of new abilities, etc. It's overall worth playing even 2023, but only if you're starting out or getting back into it.
Oh wait I have this game too 😮
When the galatic battle that took almost 1.5hrs and heard people going almost 2hrs and beyond was such a fun time but damn was it amazing to just lose track of time and be lost in the game
I still play heroes vs villains on this game from time to time. It is so much fun! Too bad they couldn't have added even more characters into the game due to the lower player count two years into it.
If you enjoyed HvV then you havent really played it 😀
Thoroughly addictive but extremely frustrating when u get sniped by a blaster hero
And very toxic
This game is a must for Star Wars fans, even now it's still so damn good and still has an active community.
I'll still hop on and play Heroes vs Villains once a month.
I started playing it for the first time in March. I love it, I will continue after Jedi: Survivor. Thanks for the good video
I'm still here... Playing this game for hours and hoping for a Battlefront 3 but knowing it's not coming...
I just started playing this about a month ago and got hooked and currently ranking all my hero’s and villains thru 4v4 and Wednesdays 3XP is clutch
Love this video
Matty the officer is OP. Just hit your head shots and pick your moments.
Who's Matty?

@@praisethesun6078 I asked nicely, who's Matty
yeah i remember playing battlefront on my ps2 when i was little :) :D fun games, some ps2 games are very very good
I really hope we get a battlefront 3. I LOVE these games and this game means alot to my older brother which is the main reason i love these games so much, as i dont actually play these but my older brother does and its one of the few joys he allows in his life because hes weird and thinks he has to work hard and suffer in life. So i hope a new one comes.
if the clone Armor had a customisation system like bo2's emblem editor that would have been the best, like you would have truly custom clone Armor and if you wanted to put the time in you can make really good decals for your Armor.
I still remember playing the beta for the first SW:BF and was in love with the sniper rifle (forgot what it’s called.) But when the game came out they completely changed the mechanics of that rifle and it was never used again.
Personally I stuck mostly to the dogfight game mode but had to stop because of how unbalanced the A-wings were to the tie fighters and because of the lag
Just played last night July 16 2023
The game had full lobbies and ran great. So excited to get off work and play more
I really hope they make a Battlefront 3, hopefully based on the old republic
I still play a lot of HvV. The community is smaller than it was a few years ago but you still easily find games and it’s still a lot of fun
Imagine a Galactic Conquest mode but with an ongoing war with multiple players/battles happening all at once
Just Started playing the game again yesterday and it’s a blast
I still play it on xbox daily. So much fun lmao replay value infinite. Invading someones ship and making a last stand hits 👌🏼. Try conquest lol holding down a command post till i get overran has me feeling like im noble 6 at the end of reach
Galatic Conquest, Mass Mandalorian battles/characters, Bad batch characters, Asoka. Battlefront 3 will be amazing
I played this game when it came out in 2017 and I still play it now on my laptop and my cellphone. I'm like you, when I seen the motions for the campaign, I thought we were gonna get a new point of view. But they did what Star Wars always does, which I don't dislike, but it would've been great to seen it end in a more, unexpected way. But I enjoyed the campaign, overall.
Multiplayer for this game is a literal joy. Like I be jumping on Supremacy and be thoroughly enjoying myself.
My wish for Star Wars games... I want them to give us a full Skywalker saga game on this engine. Similar to what they did with LEGO Star Wars. Because the acting and the gameplay was top notch. But I can only wish.
I spent so many hours on this game
Will never get tired of this game
It’s absolutely wild how this game went from like the biggest disaster in gaming history to possibly one of the best Star Wars games ever made imo.
Really the only thing it’s missing at this point is galactic conquest. The story could’ve been better and getting a few more heroes like maybe Mace Windu or Ahsoka since she’s got her own show now would’ve been nice too.
But really beyond those 3 things I can’t say I have a complaint about it which is pretty damn impressive.
Anyone who hasn’t played it, it is currently on the Xbox game pass and goes on sale very cheap pretty often on PS. Definitely worth giving it a shot.
Playing it heavy in the last few days. The multiplayer is still active in Capital Supremacy and tons of fun. On pc you can also mod the game if you want a change of pace from multiplayer. Or even without mods its fun to play against bots
I too have played swbf2 in 2023, with my son no doubt. But the good one. I love it, he loves it. He knows there’s a new one and I keep telling him not to get his hopes up(it ain’t that bad but it also ain’t close to the original)
Played this on my base PS4, back then. But now I have a PS5 this s*** is crazy and the amount of players That's on it is mind blowing!!!
🤔💭If there was a BF3 that was coming out, I'd want BF2s instant action, BF2 2017 customization of skins, both BF2s heros combined, BF2 2005s Hunt modes, BF2 2005s space battles, and BF2 2005s Galactic Assault 🔥🤘🏼
May 23 Xbox One in UK, Online servers are very much alive and well, I see new players appearing all the time!!! I play every day online
my Wishlist for a SWBF3 is.
- more customization than swbf2 such as armor, battles scars, colors, pauldrons, backpacks etc. they should also expand blast customization with more mods
-improved balance for reinforcements/heroes especially for the rebels and resistance and I would like to see more reinforcement archetypes along with more star cards for them
-improved terrain and a vaulting mechanic because its very easy to get stuck on things in SWBF2
-a combination of capital supremacy and frontlines from battlefield
there's probably more that I'm not thinking of rn but this is what first comes to mind for me.
Its crazy how good this game looks, with all the players on the server at the same time and could run on last gen. Then theres jedi survivor….
I really hope dice does a 3rd one or someone does ! I need a galactic assault/strategy mode
Still love and play this great game. Its cancellation was such a shame 😔
This game was a disaster from the start, but improved as time went on
I’m amazed at how much better the game got in the following years
i haven’t played this game and i’ve been wanting to since the day it dropped. should i download it on my xbox
Downloading now.
I've been playing this game nonstop for the last month
I just finally got the Darth Maul old master skin last week after three years of not trying. Only took me a couple days too. :)
BF & I hv made some pretty hot memories, I was quite the player. I too loved the sensations it accomplished, made the action immersive unlike any other shooter. Then again, its not just a shooter, is it? 🤭
If you guys want a Star Wars game/platform to duel and get some dope 1v1s in, start playing hero showdown! I promise it’s more fun than it initially seems and the controls are actually awesome
Been playing it using the cloud on gamepass on my phone nightly before to bed, its mad
Used to be really Good at the Game a couple years back on PC, but decided to hop in a match a couple Day's ago n got annihilated 😅
Decided to just install the Instant Action Overhaul Mod and had so much fun having a laid back experience.
I remember when the battlefront 1 beta came out on pc and i felt like a god lmao. Easily would go like 30-3. Now whenever i try to hop on 2 randomly i get wrecked 😂
I want this game again because it is so much fun.
I play this very often still. I can confirm on console playing multilayer its almsot always the same names on all the maps. I know whos going to dominate the server I know how every map will play out. Rarely am I surprised. But its still fun for me.
Only problem with Galactic Conquest as a concept in a multiplayer game is that it would just take wayyy too long. If anyone’s played EAW, they also had a conquest type mode that was super fun! Only problem was it took hours to complete and your opponent would either quit due to time or once they saw that they were going to lose they would just quit. It sounds great and I would love it if they brought it back but I don’t see a world where the average FPS player nowadays is gonna sit and go through multiple modes and maps for however long it takes to eventually win or even worse, lose.
This game is Just Amazing after launch play it till today. Just breathtaking and funny
I only played the OG Battlefront 2 and gotta say was one of the best games I played that year. RIP OG Battlefront 3
Iden Versio is honestly one of my favorite new star wars characters.
If you play on console its still definitely worth playing but 100% have fun trying to find games in this up to an hour searching and usually just having to go thru recent players list and pray some random found a game so you can join session 😢
Man don’t worry
A UA-camr played for nostalgia all cod games
And 5 people still played the first one
Ah. I got excited for a sec...
Up-voted before the video even started, just for bringing attention to the current most underrated Star Wars game ever!
Say what ya'll will about the game, but it has the most epic large scale battles and lightsaber combat out there (Not as fluid and deep as Jedi Academy, but more cinematic and intense).
It also gave us another snippet of Legends Luke in the main story mode👌🏽
I left when they announced they would end updates, the microtransactions left a nasty wound that was starting to heal with every update and then EA just decided it wasn't worth it. 😢
I remember triple XP for like 3 weeks..I MAXED OUT assault, heavy, officer, Tank, Vader, Bossk
It still looks really good. It could come out today and it would be considered one of the more beautiful games.
I'll be honest I've never liked galactic conquest on the older ones I've always just liked going in with friends playing co-op in hero mode and instant action
I still play the online co op mode sometimes. The game looks great and sounds great. I could do without the star cards but honestly I wish we got a battlefront 3 by dice with how this game ended up.
This game looks so damn good I played it and I will play it again
