I'm gonna be positive so I'll mention my positives... 1. I love the graphical upgraphed details in this version (not dising on the original because I love it) 2. It's thanks to this people who play the switch can have the chance to play these 2 iconic games 3. It's thanks to this Classic Collection the mass audience who only played it on Xbox or ps2 can now play XL Mode 4. Everyone who didn't play the Xbox version or backwards compatible version now gets access to the 2 DLC characters and 4 DLC Maps 5. The fact u can extend amount of AI men up to 32 in a match is insane (keep in mind in the ps2 and backwards compatible version the max AI team u can spawn in is 16) 6. Last but not least, this Classic Collection for the first time ever added heroes Vs Villians on all ground maps I love I can play this mode on Hoth
If you had the original on PC (I had it on disc long before it went to Steam). You already had all this stuff though. XL was present in the PC version at launch back in 2005. The DLC was also available as a mod. I'm talking about an actual port of the DLC that the Classic Collection itself is using has been around since 2020 and before that there were conversion packs since like 2008. The AI at 32 was also native to the PC launch. Heroes vs. Villians was modded in back in 2008 with stuff like the conversion pack (it also added more heroes and villians to both sides). I'll give you the graphical updates, but this has also been modded in with the objectively superior Battlefront Remaster Mod. If you're on PC, there is next to no real reason to buy the Classic Collection. I did, because I actually missed the vanilla game as my original Battlefont 2 is insanely modded and I didn't feel like having a seperate vanilla install, but I still somewhat regret getting the Classic Collection because even for nostalgia, it was somewhat pointless to buy.
Single player or local multiplayer is where I’ve spent most of my Battlefront time (on Xbox back-compat). I wouldn’t fault anyone for buying the collection for those reasons but man, what a shame for Aspyr to put this out the way they did. I don’t understand why they continue to get these Star Wars remasters with how bad their track record is at this point. The Battlefront games deserved better.
Same for me too i had alot fun with swbf 1 & 2 back in the day on my old xbox & when this remaster came out too despite some of the problems at launch i still had fun with this but it was a shame i do agree but i'm still happy to be playing the games again However the pvp was a blast for me & my older brother. & GN or Good Day to you
The way they could save this game is putting on gamepass and PlayStation plus. They should have made it cross platform idk if they can change that now tho
PC hasn't got any players playing it due to them playing on the original battlefronts which is still running. I'd imagine out of all the platforms, Playstation and switch has the higher player count due to them not having the backwards compatibility that xbox has.
You NEED to watch the Original Trilogy. That’s where Star Wars started. I pre-ordered this game, and playing the single player stuff was fun and fine for me. I didn’t play the multiplayer, but that wasn’t the selling point for me. The selling point for me was, I can play my FAVORITE game again!
There was such a massive chance to really make this work for so many hardcore fans and newcomers alike, yet shit all over the dummies like me that pre-ordered. Not happening again…
I bought a cheap key off a gray market site because there was no way I was going to directly give the developers money for this crap. They should be happy I didn't pirate it.
I never played the original versions, it's virtually impossible for a 2-3 years old to play a videogame especially without the consoles they came out for. I got to pre-order it for Switch, and since I didn't have any real intentions of playing online because I'm so shit at shooters that I actually ended up liking the collection. The only issue I had is that the game was not actually playable until 12:00 pm, software for Nintendo Switch usually gets unlocked around 2:00 am but this game wasn't the case. I woke up at that time and the game didn't run, I tried again at 6:00 am and it didn't get unlocked until 12:00 pm for some reason.
$35 on switch is still too much money for this. I'd get it for $15 max because of how terribly they handled multiplayer and pre maturely killed it. Apparently, the switch ports were done the best release day compared to other platforms.
having played it opn ps2, i loved to see it back agian like that. in singleplayer, most of the bugs ain't really much of an issie i found. of course, the icomic cutscnes being screwed was a big let down. If i may ask, how much do you mind that the ingame music is bugged?
It was always worth it, if you understand, unlike the ulidiot modern gamers that these games were never about the online secondary uneedamed gameplay, but the offline gameplay like back in 2005
ah this was a lovely review i look forward to seeing what you do next & hmm... if you want maybe we could try some pvp together sometime if you want tho i'm on ps4 copy of the game atm tho & GN or Good Day to you
I unfortunately bought this when it first released and it was horrible very buggy game crashed all the time during online matches and when there was people playing online the matches would be over in like 2-3 minutes i deleted this 3 times and re-downloaded it after a "update" with the same consistent crashes game is trash
I still wouldn't buy it for the singleplayer....the modding support is practically non-existent on PC. That means no remaster mod. No custom Galactic Conquest. I don't even think the shader patch works. I have a video of the remaster + shader patch on my own channel to highlight how much better it makes everything look, even on some of the worst maps. It doesn't just stop there though. The classic collection STILL has bugs on PC. They are minor bugs, but still bugs all the same that aren't present in the original. This includes "patchy" planet backgrounds, washed out colors, sound issues and small stuff like background explosions and stars having a jitter effect which makes them look off. You can see this right in the video at 0:51 . That was not present in the original game.
BF2 plays smoothly enough now, but my digital copy (PS4) is having trouble with achievement tracking. Definitely a secondary issue, but it is kind of annoying to be like "How many times do I have to earn the rank of General before you'll recognize me for it, game?"
So the game it’s fine for singles players umm maybe I pick it up when it’s on sale I don’t play online a lot or at all and I do wanna revive some cool memories with my bro on my switch oled
@@MinusInfernoGaming Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
I gave this game for the switch and I'm really disappointed. My biggest issue is that even playing bf2 offline my game will crash and make me exit out the entire game completely
@@MinusInfernoGaming Not on my Xbox one, it says it’s 57.4GB with a 11.5GB update pending. I can’t even download it because I’m not in the market for buying more storage space right now. Guess it’s just a me problem
@SomeRandomGatorFan holy moly, sounds like a developer problem dude. They seem to have trouble condensing games down these days. The Witcher 3 is only around 50GB lol
I love this!! I redownloaded it recently and I've been having fun with it!! 🥹 Been replaying all of the Star Wars games I can get my hands on these last few months! Currently on Jedi Academy
i thinks if you are in to single player or local multiplayer it is worth, but the online is dead because of what happened.

Is this game going to have an update or has it already been abandoned?
Dude I didnt even know the name of the jarjar horses😂😂😂😂 but thanks to the comment that posted the name they never said it in the movie.
I know right! 😂

Grood Idea there's instant action
And Galactic Conquest
I've been waiting for it to go on sail. Oddly enough it wasn't on sail for May the 4th even though everything else was.
I got it off CDkeys for £13 🤘
@@MinusInfernoGaming Might have to check it out. Though not anytime soon, as I've got more pressing matters at the moment.
So have I, it's finally on sell right now till the 29th on ps store

Can i play online with my friend like doing story or conquest instead of just tdm?
The soundtrack/music doesn’t work for me in-game on the Battlefront 2 side of the collection. No idea how to fix it.
Is this the original from the 360? I’m interested in playing offline. Do you get all dlc already in the game or do you have to download anything?
It's both the original Battlfront and Battlefront 2, plus all the dlc included 🤗 and it's great fun playing offline 🤗
@@MinusInfernoGaming did they ever do this for the Battlefront for the Xbox One?

The campain is fun but not Canon ( if you care about that )
it can be canon if you want it to be, canon is fluid based on what you like most
It's more canon that whatever garbage filoni put out
