UPDATE: The Battlefront development team have responded and made a statement. Details here: ua-cam.com/video/Ffc-Nkcrm2A/v-deo.html Remember, I got the game early. I did not have access to the online servers since nobody was playing online during the pre-release period (I even mention this in my video review.) Please do not attack me or other content creators. This is not our fault. It is the fault of Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games. I hope we see a press statement from them soon addressing these issues and how they plan to fix them. They need to seriously be communicating with fans directly right now to show us they are taking these issues seriously.
Honestly, I don’t care if the graphics looks slightly better if the game plays like crap and has the reliability the beater I used to drive in high school.
they knew this would happen, they for real hate gamers it’s soooo obvious they aren’t stupid they read the feedback, and even if they didn’t they fuckin make games for a living this is purposeful at worst and completely embarrassingly neglectful at best. the only work they did was letting the ai upscale it and do strictly online reworking, simplest shit to do and they messed it up. tired of hearing the same story, expect the worst stop wishful thinking and trusting these people when they have thrown shit in your face time and time again.
yeah but thing is its not a new game its like a port and shit screams like they were too lazy to test shit out and make sure it works and that is inexcusable
I never got to play the online version of this game as a kid. Loved playing the bots! BUT I WANTED this game for the ONLINE version and for me to experience it has always been a wish because this is my favorite games of all time! It’s sad that it launched like this because now it has gotten to much negative feedback that idk if people will come back even if they improve it… COME ON DEVELOPERS get it together man
@starwarshq happened to mcc and Halo infinite. Maybe if they add crossplay when things get fixed this game might have a chance, but lets be honest that's not going to happen
That’s the only time I’ve preordered in years. It was inconceivable to mess up a simple port in my mind. I’d say if you only care about single player you won’t be disappointed. The real dealbreaker for me was my profile not loading, forcing me to restart my progress all over. Valid reason not to buy, until they fix it at least.
I played the original game so much that I even noticed the music/loading screen audio is altered and different than the original games. For example any time a match ends and you get the “victory” or “defeat” the Star Wars soundtrack that plays is altered. Also the iconic audio for the map loading screen in battlefront one is different :/
At this point we're really paying to be a tester instead of companies testing their own games before release. Its scummy activities to let us buy it without any warning then let the community collectively shit on all the issues til they're hopefully fixed. Where my game testers at!?
I was reminded of your channel from star wars theory's recent video. Glad to still see you going strong, I watched your channel since the sequels were coming out, and loved your videos. while I mostly checked out of star wars after the last jedi, it was great to see your channel again. keep it up!
The game department is really what’s suffering with Star Wars right now with the Jedi fallen order series being the saving grace. Here’s to hoping Outlaws and Amy Hennig’s game can surprise us.
On Xbox I had no issues other than having a hard time connecting my bullets. Flying was a little difficult. Remember this is an old game updated to play on platforms and controllers it wasn't initially designed for.
This is why I'm never surprised at launch of games they always break and the game gets review bombed I'm not surprised at all only time will tell if they can fix the issues
I knew the launch would be bad, but Im so happy the base game is as good as it is and how untouched it is. Just a few network fixes and some QOL would be perfect.
I am probably like the only person here who is actually enjoying this game go ahead and hate on me i don't care i'm just happy to be playing these games again
i dont think anyone is going to hate you for enjoying the game, but most people really are wondering if the price jack is even worth it. the Original PC version is so much cheaper and has massive modding support, the only advance of this version is the online multiplayer, and even then its not really working
Blows my mind that so many people didn't expect this. I knew servers were gonna suck for at least a couple days if not weeks cause that's every launch now adays.
Exactly my buddy already refunded and has sent so much hate messages about the game to me and I haven’t even played it yet. This the same guy that told me to wait for Helldivers 2 servers to get fixed before I refunded it and I waited and was happy. Hopefully same goes for this game
I'll be honest looking at the history of aspyr. All their past reboots are still filled with all the same bugs since they launched them and even more than original and do you think they ever fixed it?
I was about to install the collection, and then I saw the reviews and word of mouth. So all I did was get my refund without even installing it and just wait for the fixes and price cut.
They need to get on the audio and graphical bugs asap. Zooming in BF2 is visually broken cause the transparent zoom filter wasn't adjusted so you got this ugly semi transparent box in the middle of your screen when you zoom in. I believe this collection is more then salvageable, but that depends on the higher ups letting the people on the ground floor do their jobs and get this collection into the state it needs to be. A minor annoyance(I'm on switch) you can't swap controllers once you enter the game, if you try to swap to handheld mode or docked, game won't register the pro controller or inputs from the joycons attached, you have to quit the collection to get the game to register your other input you want to use.
The problem is, although the project is salvageable, aspyr will need to do more work post release than they did pre, which I just don't see them doing. It's a blatant cashgrab, and it needs more time and attention than they're likely willing to give
Thank you StarWarsHQ, i have so much respect for content creators who adress the real issues of the community. Lets hope Aspyre has the guts to communicate with us and most above all - fix the multiplayer netcode so we get proper hit detection and less lag
I suppose I'm one of the few who bought the Classic Collection mainly for the enhanced graphics and higher framerate. The idea of getting to play the original Battlefront games online again was definitely appealing to me, but I anticipated there would be a fair few hiccups at launch as there is with most online services. Sad as it is, this pretty par-for-the-course. I don't know why anyone would expect different. I'm perfectly content revisiting the single-player modes and campaigns until they can get everything sorted out. I would advise patience to my fellow Battlefrontians and Star Wars fans.
To some people are aware Re-release launch could have issues at the start so we have to wait for bug fixes, if we have community manager to sort those problems
I’m honestly a bit upset. I hope things get better and they fix this. However I am unable to participate in any of the servers at the moment for Star Wars battlefront 2. So I hope I will be able to soon.
@@starwarshq yea, that’s true. I hope people continue to play this game and it’s a more finished product or at the very least playable. I remember playing the original game with my brother and we did space battles to see who would win first. I enjoyed that and I hope that this game will be like the originals. Fun yet also playable with people you know.
Damn I wouldn’t even be able to play it then! Nice to see other people who invert the controls lol. People always hate handing me the controller when I play video games with them cuz they always have to change it back after 😂
Go onto settings and starfighter controls set it to the “Anakin” control scheme remap the buttons how you see fit and you can finally look up and fly up!
The XL mode impressed me. The amount of bots onscreen do turn any session into the large-scale, chaotic, all-out wars that you can't even experience on the newer Battlefronts!
First thing I did was check out XL mode on geonosis saw the amount of clones spawning with me and coming in from all angles and my jaw dropped. It plays like how I felt playing the game was like on PS2 as a kid
I didn't buy it for the online. I bought for the nostalgia. I didn't have the ability play online back in the day, so it was just Galactic Conquest, Campaign, and Instant Action.
Aspye released a statement : We’d like to thank the Battlefront community for their overwhelming support and feedback for the STAR WARS™ Battlefront Classic Collection release. At launch, we experienced critical errors with our network infrastructure. The result was incredibly high ping, matchmaking errors, crashes, and servers not appearing in the browser. Since launch, we’ve been working to address these issues and increase network stability, and we will continue our efforts until our network infrastructure is stabilized to prevent further outages. Please continue to report bugs, errors, or unexpected behaviors to our support team via our Request Form The Aspyr Team
I find it sad that content creators have to feel like they need to apologize for things like this and they have to ask that people don’t turn on them in times like this. I’m new to this channel but please don’t think that anyone with reason would put this on your shoulders. Hopefully everyone wants patches from Aspyr and more content from you and your team. Keep up the great work!
Honestly I aint mad cuz I knew this was gonna happen I was mostly excited of having OG BF2 with better visuals and more Gamemodes and Galactic Conquest in its glory in other words im more offline
Im annoyed that the game isnt working as intended, but pc players are complaining about the weirdest things. This game is a godsend for console. If someone buys on steam and is mad that its the same game, thats on you.
You can invert the flight in bf2 but you have to select controller layout and select the anakin preset then just change what you need to change from there like changing the R2 to be primary weapon instead of r1 etc and it will save the inverted flight
Did people not pay attention to how they gave pretty much no service to the Jedi Knight academy servers. They will do the same to this game. Update it once and forget about it. It's a Cash Grab!
I hope they fix it but tbh I grew up with the ps2 versions (no online) and I still had a BLAST!!! So I’m happy with the offline options we’re getting here. Specially the split screen.
@mr.dr0bot731 20 years ago I wasn't even able to play this game online lol. What was it 16 player multi-player? They never did a beta to even see how the multi-player would work with 64 players. Give them a chance to patch it. If they don't do anything then run them through the dirt
People need to chill! I mean, the multiplayer is having problems. However, there is a lot of awesome single-player content! Not to mention the campaign. Also, there is local split-screen mode.
Campaign cutscenes are missing (not all of them, just the end of mission ones) plus there are other issues like the general sound issues, lighting oddities etc etc. not to mention the multiplayer is very broken in Battlefront 2 especially, and most notably hosting your own servers is also beyond broken. Battlefront 1:s multiplayer and general functionality works a lot better (apart from mods now being more or less completely broken unless they are completely rebuilt).
It seems 80% of the people who bought it just wanted to experience the multiplayer because back then if they played it, they probably didn’t know online mode was a thing lol I didn’t, but the thing is I played the PC version in online a bunch just a few years ago edit it acts the same way the collection does, in a nutshell they didn’t change anything👀
My only real issue with the game is the ticket count on bf2 because it's makes the matches too short but other than that I haven't had an issues I already got used to the inverse flying so I haven't had my fun tainted yet but that being said I'm not denying issues simply saying I haven't experienced much issues personally and I've played since the second it launched
Thanks for mentioning the camera shake when spawning. I haven’t seen many others mentioning it as an issue, but it is bad, and messes with me in a not so good way.
Single player is the way to go every time, multiplayer is always going to have issues. Fun games like Star wars battlefront died when they went multiplayer route. I've been having a great time playing both of them offline.
Exactly, it's what i loved back in 2005 & what i got it for now. In fact i always thought it was the SP modes that made the originals way better than the newer remakes. At least that's what i remember most folks saying.
I couldn't agree more, I had more fun doing couch co-op " multiplayer" with friends through the story than anything else. Most of all, I'm just glad to be back playing it with working controllers instead of beat up ones that could hardly function anymore.
rememeber its not a new game its like a port all it screams is they were too lazy to test shit out and make sure it works properly which happens way too often nowadays mate
Not a good excuse here, these are 20 year old games that have much more functional versions already on steam with only no official servers. This was the point of the re-release and this mindset is the wrong one to have here. So please get your head out of your ass and take the rose tinted glasses off
I had so many issues. At the simplest I just wanted to be able to create a private lobby with a bunch of bots and play like we used to in the old days. Somehow that simple task was impossible and rather depressing that we couldn’t even do something as simple that again.
This is really interesting as a diehard player from 2005. We never had these problems and you could say it's the sheer amount of people trying to connect however they should've been ready as the original developers we're also ready in 2005 some of us have played this game competitively online years after LucasArts had actually stopped servicing the game with servers so Wheat host our own and then the hosting service for the game stopped because the contract ended but hackers in the community were able to change the DNS settings so we could all still connect even to the point where North American and European players could play together unlike before I stop playing competitively a while ago but from what I heard there were still ladders and competition going on as leaders 2021 so this game has a crazy following and it's just really weird to see them struggle with the online let maybe that's part of the problem it is just old and it is a different company so who knows but I'm feeling optimistic I can't wait to play I'm sure things will be fixed I just hope lots of people continue to play because it's actually a really fun competitive game when you set the servers up correctly and not just have a bunch of AI running around also remove vehicles and have more players versus AI so maybe just eight verse eight with three AI on each team but we used to never play with AI also for those complaining about the jerky Aiming You need to turn auto aim in that stuff off as it creates jerky locking aiming also I'm just curious can you still throw dead packs?
Hopefully they iron out the online situation fast. For offline gamers, so far I'm not having any issues and it's a nice port on PS5, with some epic battles to be enjoyed against the AI bots.
Right now at the moment, I’m just gonna go play some instant action on Star Wars battlefront collections and story mode(battlefront 2) for the time being 🙂
I just want to point out something. Battlefront and Battlefront 2, the originals, are about 12 GB put together. Why in the name of Tatooine's twin suns is this game _63 GB?!_
I wish they would just remaster this game.. leave the gameplay and mechanics as is, just make the graphics good, like even 2010-2015 era graphics would be good.
Yea, if they could just add new character models and skins to make a new Era with familiar assets and new maps and dlc Like the pc modded community to add the Old Republic Era with Jedi/Sith/Hunters would make this epic and better server connection
Couple things worth noting. I preordered and hopped on the second midnight hit, I was able to play both games online with very little issue. I never got to play either game online back on PS2, so it was totally a worthwhile experience. No killstreaks, no bunnyhopping, sliding, or quickscoping. A real breath of fresh air compared to modern shooters. Hopped on today to see servers overpopulated and had more issues than before, but was still able to get a few decent matches in. Its possible that so many people across the entire world trying to play it at once are whats causing the issue. Its a simple serverside fix, just gotta give it time. As for the overall experience, its everything I was hoping it would be. Already cleared the story and a few tours of Galactic Conquest. Really wish people would have more patience and not bash things based on the popularity to do so.
The fact that we can’t get cross play Star Wars multiplayer game even in 2024 is just unbelievably depressing. The stupidest thing EA did was not add crossplay to battlefront 2 2017. I’m still bitter over them pulling the plug for Battlefield 2042. What a stupid decision that was! 2017 BF2 could have easily been the best Star Wars game ever made, and could’ve actually been the biggest game of this millennium so far if it would’ve launched successfully and would’ve had all the and kept getting patches! EA could’ve made more than Madden!
i just find it hilarious that we livin in the age of realtime raytracing graphics cards which allows to have graphics like those we were dreaming of when we saw a games cinematic intros 10 years ago, and here we are 10 years later and we have rehashed games like this with these dogshit graphics lol. its like we didnt advance in anything.
Okay so i played some really solid games this morning. I want it to get fixed but im happy that we have this gem now. Please lets make thia happen so we get a battlefront 3
Ok fine I'll give you a pass about not knowing about online, but dude there's graphical design Bugs in some maps on offline such as hoth, how was that noticeable? Or how there's volume/music glitches
I'm a huge fangirl of Battlefront, even found some good in the EA ones. But this? I couldn't even sleep last night without asking for a refund. And I'm glad I did.
Play a few matches today on the PlayStation five version. Definitely saw the hit detection issue a few times. Server connectivity was acceptable, but did get dropped once or twice. Hope the game runs much smoother by the end of the weekend. Fingers crossed.
For me there's alot of audio issues for ps5. Audio spikes, quiet audio (even though volume is up all the way), sound from the left coming in on the right and right to left, maps losing textures or having invisible objects, getting stuck on defeated enemies and in spawns. Still haven't done multi-player, but I hope they fix these issues soon.
I'm mixed at this launch, I got it for the Switch and i started with BF2. For the singleplayer, its stellar for me with 60 fps and it only dips to 30 fps when I play XL. However, the multiplayer is where the problems arise, which is disappointing because its my first experience in it. Really hope they fix it and add cross play.
They made it region locked too i think btw. An American friend of ours in our regular gaming group was trying to jump in with us his Aussie mates yesterday & couldn't even find the server i created to be able to join us. Looked it up & it seems as though it may be region locked.
I spent several hours of Galactic Conquest and MultiPlayer, and things seem to be solid af. No problems on my end. Also: been playing the "Classic Edition" for almost 20 years.
after playing story and galactic conquest i can say cheats still work and during story i was still able to unlock achievments with invinciblity and unlimited ammo
I don’t have that issue. I went in knowing that I was going to play it how I always played it, offline by myself. The game has several bugs but I’m having a blast. No online needed for me 🤷🏽♂️😌
Same for me, back in 2005 i never played anything online, didn't have an internet connection back then. I enjoyed the offline modes & had a tonne of fun doing that. It's what i actually purchased the classic collection for. To me playing the online is just a bonus & i've gotten to play a few decent rounds online but it was never the draw card for me. I did notice that the online is region locked. A friend in America couldn't join us here in Oceania.
I’ve just played offline for the past hour and even the offline is full of bugs! Lots of audio bugs, getting shot through walls, terrible hit detection, and loading radius (flying ships on BF1 ships disappear from field of view unless they’re right in front of you). Most of these issues have been on BF1 as that’s what I’ve mostly played, but even the offline needs a lot of work. I’ve been playing on PS5
Yea I dont sgree eith people demanding a "remaster" because it wasnt meant to be that but the lag, glitches, online issues, etc are absolutely unacceptable
Love how people still trusted ASSpyr, they have done nothing but bring us low quality, lazy upscales of star wars games that have all been broken in someway and never fixed, People are in denial if they think everything will be fixed, they just pump and dump these low quality remasters
On a positive note, the graphics look great. On my 4k TV, it looks really good and I am happy. I do think improvements could be made, in particular to the capitol ships, at least exteriorly, could use some attention. Especially the Rebel Cruiser
UPDATE: The Battlefront development team have responded and made a statement. Details here: ua-cam.com/video/Ffc-Nkcrm2A/v-deo.html

Lol who the hell was blaming you. This comes off as.. weird idk just rubs me the wrong way
@@Great_Lakes_Discus maybe read comments? you know use your eyelids?
So all the issues not related to multiplayer never happened to you or any other reviewer?
Bruh, this should have been the easiest win.

@@aaronvasseur6559 I would like to say sorry for the abuse you've gone through.
#1 tip: wait till the game is actually playable to play/buy it
yeah but thing is its not a new game its like a port and shit screams like they were too lazy to test shit out and make sure it works and that is inexcusable
Then don't buy the game its that simple
That should be a tip for developers, not consumers. But instead, wait till it's playable to release it.
it was on the switch as well so idk how I can not buy it
😂😂😂😂LITERALLY MY THOUGHTS AS I GO BACK TO PLAY HELLDIVERS EVERYTIKE I CANT GET INTO A BATTLEFRONT MATCH
I never got to play the online version of this game as a kid. Loved playing the bots! BUT I WANTED this game for the ONLINE version and for me to experience it has always been a wish because this is my favorite games of all time! It’s sad that it launched like this because now it has gotten to much negative feedback that idk if people will come back even if they improve it… COME ON DEVELOPERS get it together man
me too I didn't have internet till later on but by then I had a 360
Exactly, this the main problem with launching a game badly. Sometimes people never return...
@starwarshq happened to mcc and Halo infinite. Maybe if they add crossplay when things get fixed this game might have a chance, but lets be honest that's not going to happen
Their whole network crashed on release. They're working in it
I was like wtf why are my shots not tracking am I shooting like a storm trooper they really need to fix everything
they made gameplay a true one to one experience.
well isn't that lore accurate gameplay??
Real talk , feels like you're not hitting nothing. Straight shots on target no hit marker, then enemy kills you. Laggy rubber ban glitch servers man.
I literally thought I was going insane, I was like why can’t I hit shit?!
Servers are so bad 😢
Another great example for us to never reserve any game no matter how good it looks till it's actually playable
Games shouldn't be released until they're playable. Stupid take btw.
That’s the only time I’ve preordered in years. It was inconceivable to mess up a simple port in my mind. I’d say if you only care about single player you won’t be disappointed. The real dealbreaker for me was my profile not loading, forcing me to restart my progress all over. Valid reason not to buy, until they fix it at least.
Exactly
The only thing I’m upset about is the battlefront 1 loading screen sound effects aren’t the same for such an iconic loading screen…
Its a bug it works sometimes lol its weird
How do you manage to fuck up such a simple thing? I would fire somebody over messing that up.
I though it was just me. I thought I was remembering wrong sence I'm old now lol
The Objective Complete sound in the BF2 campaign is different too, I really don't like how it sounds now.
how do you actually screw this up tho? wouldn't they have to go in and manually change it 😂
I will admit I was pretty optimistic this morning, but my hopes and dreams were crushed again
😭 same, woke up so excited
Never get too excited for anything in this world mate, specially something great corporations have their hands on
Well there goes battlefront 3 down the drain
Sensitivity is also a huge problem I maxed it out and it still feels like I’m dragging my reticle through mud it’s awful
It’s honestly brutal
Less so with infantry and heroes but it is absolutely noticeable in space with the inverted flight controls.
I feel like the sensitivity was super sensitive lol
I played the original game so much that I even noticed the music/loading screen audio is altered and different than the original games. For example any time a match ends and you get the “victory” or “defeat” the Star Wars soundtrack that plays is altered. Also the iconic audio for the map loading screen in battlefront one is different :/

Surely among the people that got fired for no reason by companies
Not me because I have an above room temperature IQ.
Im actually shocked there are no laws that prohibits companies from getting away with shit like this.
Im enjoying it so far. The only problem i have so far is that the sensitivity for turning isn't high enough.
You can adjust sensitivity in settings during gameplay
Im sorry.... im just really upset
@@zachary5412 even at max, it's quite annoying.
What... I had to turn everything down to 1 cause it was so terrible

Battlefront really is a cursed franchise
Star wars as a whole is now sadly
Ehhh wouldn’t say that
@neofulcrum5013 well yeah maybe just the big published things, the fans will always keep the franchise alive tho.
The game department is really what’s suffering with Star Wars right now with the Jedi fallen order series being the saving grace. Here’s to hoping Outlaws and Amy Hennig’s game can surprise us.

I’ve been saying the same thing aswell aspeyr or whatever their called are so incompetent
This is why I'm never surprised at launch of games they always break and the game gets review bombed I'm not surprised at all only time will tell if they can fix the issues
Both of these games are like 20 years old kid. They aren't new.
I knew the launch would be bad, but Im so happy the base game is as good as it is and how untouched it is. Just a few network fixes and some QOL would be perfect.
It’s a disaster, I refunded it. Cannot believe my shots were not hitting enemies and the crashes and stutters were unacceptable.

Ppl are just big cry babys always complaining about everything.
Blows my mind that so many people didn't expect this. I knew servers were gonna suck for at least a couple days if not weeks cause that's every launch now adays.
Facts. And this is for a 20 year old game they made a 64 players multiplayer for. It was guaranteed lol.
Exactly my buddy already refunded and has sent so much hate messages about the game to me and I haven’t even played it yet. This the same guy that told me to wait for Helldivers 2 servers to get fixed before I refunded it and I waited and was happy. Hopefully same goes for this game
@Lambzy except this collection doesnt have 400,000 people trying to play it
I'll be honest looking at the history of aspyr. All their past reboots are still filled with all the same bugs since they launched them and even more than original and do you think they ever fixed it?
Gonna be a single player only game watch
I was about to install the collection, and then I saw the reviews and word of mouth. So all I did was get my refund without even installing it and just wait for the fixes and price cut.
A this point it’s more surprising when a game doesn’t launch with issues 😭
They need to get on the audio and graphical bugs asap. Zooming in BF2 is visually broken cause the transparent zoom filter wasn't adjusted so you got this ugly semi transparent box in the middle of your screen when you zoom in. I believe this collection is more then salvageable, but that depends on the higher ups letting the people on the ground floor do their jobs and get this collection into the state it needs to be. A minor annoyance(I'm on switch) you can't swap controllers once you enter the game, if you try to swap to handheld mode or docked, game won't register the pro controller or inputs from the joycons attached, you have to quit the collection to get the game to register your other input you want to use.
The problem is, although the project is salvageable, aspyr will need to do more work post release than they did pre, which I just don't see them doing. It's a blatant cashgrab, and it needs more time and attention than they're likely willing to give

I’m honestly a bit upset. I hope things get better and they fix this. However I am unable to participate in any of the servers at the moment for Star Wars battlefront 2. So I hope I will be able to soon.
There is still a chance they can fix this but they have to do it very quickly or people will just get up and leave and go to other games :(
@@starwarshq yea, that’s true. I hope people continue to play this game and it’s a more finished product or at the very least playable. I remember playing the original game with my brother and we did space battles to see who would win first. I enjoyed that and I hope that this game will be like the originals. Fun yet also playable with people you know.
*STOP PRE ORDERING GAMES*
No “Y” axis invert ?
How does that get missed ?
Especially since the original games had the option. And so does every game on the goddamn planet.
Damn I wouldn’t even be able to play it then! Nice to see other people who invert the controls lol. People always hate handing me the controller when I play video games with them cuz they always have to change it back after 😂
Go onto settings and starfighter controls set it to the “Anakin” control scheme remap the buttons how you see fit and you can finally look up and fly up!
It’s unplayable for me until that gets fixed
Same here. I prepaid it too. Pmo. I hope they patch that. It’s unplayable for me.
The XL mode impressed me. The amount of bots onscreen do turn any session into the large-scale, chaotic, all-out wars that you can't even experience on the newer Battlefronts!
First thing I did was check out XL mode on geonosis saw the amount of clones spawning with me and coming in from all angles and my jaw dropped. It plays like how I felt playing the game was like on PS2 as a kid
How do I play XL mode ?
@@YG.ETHAN813Instant Action
@@YG.ETHAN813 only some sandbox maps have the option to play the XL mode. Hoth, Geonosis, Kashyyyk.
I didn't buy it for the online. I bought for the nostalgia. I didn't have the ability play online back in the day, so it was just Galactic Conquest, Campaign, and Instant Action.
Aspye released a statement :
We’d like to thank the Battlefront community for their overwhelming support and feedback for the STAR WARS™ Battlefront Classic Collection release.
At launch, we experienced critical errors with our network infrastructure. The result was incredibly high ping, matchmaking errors, crashes, and servers not appearing in the browser.
Since launch, we’ve been working to address these issues and increase network stability, and we will continue our efforts until our network infrastructure is stabilized to prevent further outages.
Please continue to report bugs, errors, or unexpected behaviors to our support team via our Request Form
The Aspyr Team
So it's up to the consumers to help em fix this shiz? That's messed up and it's their job to fix this before the launch.
I find it sad that content creators have to feel like they need to apologize for things like this and they have to ask that people don’t turn on them in times like this. I’m new to this channel but please don’t think that anyone with reason would put this on your shoulders. Hopefully everyone wants patches from Aspyr and more content from you and your team. Keep up the great work!
Honestly I aint mad cuz I knew this was gonna happen I was mostly excited of having OG BF2 with better visuals and more Gamemodes and Galactic Conquest in its glory in other words im more offline
Im annoyed that the game isnt working as intended, but pc players are complaining about the weirdest things. This game is a godsend for console. If someone buys on steam and is mad that its the same game, thats on you.
I keep imagining a proper remake of the game, like they did with Mafia. That's more in line with what battlefront deserved
You can invert the flight in bf2 but you have to select controller layout and select the anakin preset then just change what you need to change from there like changing the R2 to be primary weapon instead of r1 etc and it will save the inverted flight
This is like making a Superman movie with no flying scenes
Haha yeah or like spider man with no web slinging
Well there is that superman game on the n64 that didnt have much flying lol
@@mattoconnell1359 😂 true that
Did people not pay attention to how they gave pretty much no service to the Jedi Knight academy servers. They will do the same to this game. Update it once and forget about it. It's a Cash Grab!
Funnily enough, they also broke the cheat codes in bf2. You have to reactivate them every match/mission.
I noticed that, it’s so annoying to pause and re enter them when I feel like going into hoth using the AT AT and feeling like a boss whilst invincible
No invert is my biggest gripe
I was never going to buy this for the multiplayer.
I got my money’s worth for infinite Bespin Platforms 24/7
the hit detection is def frustrating at times seems to be worst with the blaster rifles
I hope they fix it but tbh I grew up with the ps2 versions (no online) and I still had a BLAST!!! So I’m happy with the offline options we’re getting here. Specially the split screen.
Love how people are surprised by this 😂 guess I’m getting old because I see the same shit happening over and over again.
They're not new games and in the 20 years since their release technology has advanced to the point that this should be impossible to fumble.
@mr.dr0bot731 20 years ago I wasn't even able to play this game online lol. What was it 16 player multi-player? They never did a beta to even see how the multi-player would work with 64 players. Give them a chance to patch it. If they don't do anything then run them through the dirt
Just play the single player for now.... the best and most nostalgic part of the games and you want to just play multiplayer lol
People need to chill! I mean, the multiplayer is having problems. However, there is a lot of awesome single-player content! Not to mention the campaign. Also, there is local split-screen mode.
I really don't care for multiplayer plus i just play offline so
The same single player content that you can find with 5 euro in instant gaming for both the two original game.
Campaign cutscenes are missing (not all of them, just the end of mission ones) plus there are other issues like the general sound issues, lighting oddities etc etc. not to mention the multiplayer is very broken in Battlefront 2 especially, and most notably hosting your own servers is also beyond broken.
Battlefront 1:s multiplayer and general functionality works a lot better (apart from mods now being more or less completely broken unless they are completely rebuilt).
It seems 80% of the people who bought it just wanted to experience the multiplayer because back then if they played it, they probably didn’t know online mode was a thing lol I didn’t, but the thing is I played the PC version in online a bunch just a few years ago edit it acts the same way the collection does, in a nutshell they didn’t change anything👀
I’m definitely fine with that! The reason because everyone is a sweat in multiplayer nowadays and makes it harder to enjoy, for me.
My only real issue with the game is the ticket count on bf2 because it's makes the matches too short but other than that I haven't had an issues I already got used to the inverse flying so I haven't had my fun tainted yet but that being said I'm not denying issues simply saying I haven't experienced much issues personally and I've played since the second it launched
Thanks for mentioning the camera shake when spawning. I haven’t seen many others mentioning it as an issue, but it is bad, and messes with me in a not so good way.
Single player is the way to go every time, multiplayer is always going to have issues. Fun games like Star wars battlefront died when they went multiplayer route. I've been having a great time playing both of them offline.
Exactly, it's what i loved back in 2005 & what i got it for now. In fact i always thought it was the SP modes that made the originals way better than the newer remakes. At least that's what i remember most folks saying.
I couldn't agree more, I had more fun doing couch co-op " multiplayer" with friends through the story than anything else. Most of all, I'm just glad to be back playing it with working controllers instead of beat up ones that could hardly function anymore.
Damn it!
At least they've made a statement they're gonna try to fix the issues, and to keep reporting bugs and issues
😂😂
Dont preorder kids
Lol, they broke the Armoured Tank Droid tread animation. Look at him, just gliding along the sand
The originals barely have any issues on PC so I'm going to look into modding them with better textures and controller support and play those instead.
They all need to chill out the game just came out they will fix all the bugs the force is strong with them 💪💯
Just came out? Mate, the game is like almost 20 years, what are you talking about?
rememeber its not a new game its like a port all it screams is they were too lazy to test shit out and make sure it works properly which happens way too often nowadays mate
Don’t forgot to breathe with their Johnson in your throat brother. The had 20 years to get this right.
Not a good excuse here, these are 20 year old games that have much more functional versions already on steam with only no official servers. This was the point of the re-release and this mindset is the wrong one to have here. So please get your head out of your ass and take the rose tinted glasses off
@@therealjeffdimps2cry about it
I had so many issues. At the simplest I just wanted to be able to create a private lobby with a bunch of bots and play like we used to in the old days. Somehow that simple task was impossible and rather depressing that we couldn’t even do something as simple that again.
This is really interesting as a diehard player from 2005. We never had these problems and you could say it's the sheer amount of people trying to connect however they should've been ready as the original developers we're also ready in 2005 some of us have played this game competitively online years after LucasArts had actually stopped servicing the game with servers so Wheat host our own and then the hosting service for the game stopped because the contract ended but hackers in the community were able to change the DNS settings so we could all still connect even to the point where North American and European players could play together unlike before I stop playing competitively a while ago but from what I heard there were still ladders and competition going on as leaders 2021 so this game has a crazy following and it's just really weird to see them struggle with the online let maybe that's part of the problem it is just old and it is a different company so who knows but I'm feeling optimistic I can't wait to play I'm sure things will be fixed I just hope lots of people continue to play because it's actually a really fun competitive game when you set the servers up correctly and not just have a bunch of AI running around also remove vehicles and have more players versus AI so maybe just eight verse eight with three AI on each team but we used to never play with AI also for those complaining about the jerky Aiming You need to turn auto aim in that stuff off as it creates jerky locking aiming also I'm just curious can you still throw dead packs?
Hopefully they iron out the online situation fast. For offline gamers, so far I'm not having any issues and it's a nice port on PS5, with some epic battles to be enjoyed against the AI bots.
Shoot, look at the treads on the snail tank, the treads arent even moving
Right now at the moment, I’m just gonna go play some instant action on Star Wars battlefront collections and story mode(battlefront 2) for the time being 🙂
Good idea 😊 , same goes fer me
I just want to point out something. Battlefront and Battlefront 2, the originals, are about 12 GB put together. Why in the name of Tatooine's twin suns is this game _63 GB?!_
Glad i still played the OG version for Battlefront ll while waiting
I wish they would just remaster this game.. leave the gameplay and mechanics as is, just make the graphics good, like even 2010-2015 era graphics would be good.
This would be cool to see. If they get the multiplayer working imagine a complete remaster in unreal engine 5 with next gen graphics 👀
@@starwarshq I’d pay them $100 for that game.
I refunded after 30 minutes. All I needed.
Also the tank track isnt moving in this looks like it’s sliding. Load up the original version you will see what I mean.
Yea, if they could just add new character models and skins to make a new Era with familiar assets and new maps and dlc Like the pc modded community to add the Old Republic Era with Jedi/Sith/Hunters would make this epic and better server connection
Crazy you guys were able to get into a session I couldn’t even get into a server at all on both battlefront and BF2
I ❤ how everyone complain bout the 60GB game-size when it's freaking 72GB on Steam-Deck lol
31.25 on my ps5
Couple things worth noting. I preordered and hopped on the second midnight hit, I was able to play both games online with very little issue. I never got to play either game online back on PS2, so it was totally a worthwhile experience. No killstreaks, no bunnyhopping, sliding, or quickscoping. A real breath of fresh air compared to modern shooters.
Hopped on today to see servers overpopulated and had more issues than before, but was still able to get a few decent matches in.
Its possible that so many people across the entire world trying to play it at once are whats causing the issue. Its a simple serverside fix, just gotta give it time.
As for the overall experience, its everything I was hoping it would be. Already cleared the story and a few tours of Galactic Conquest.
Really wish people would have more patience and not bash things based on the popularity to do so.
The fact that we can’t get cross play Star Wars multiplayer game even in 2024 is just unbelievably depressing. The stupidest thing EA did was not add crossplay to battlefront 2 2017. I’m still bitter over them pulling the plug for Battlefield 2042. What a stupid decision that was! 2017 BF2 could have easily been the best Star Wars game ever made, and could’ve actually been the biggest game of this millennium so far if it would’ve launched successfully and would’ve had all the and kept getting patches! EA could’ve made more than Madden!
i just find it hilarious that we livin in the age of realtime raytracing graphics cards which allows to have graphics like those we were dreaming of when we saw a games cinematic intros 10 years ago, and here we are 10 years later and we have rehashed games like this with these dogshit graphics lol. its like we didnt advance in anything.
you can't even invert the x&y axis like og, it's a remaster how is there less options
Okay so i played some really solid games this morning. I want it to get fixed but im happy that we have this gem now. Please lets make thia happen so we get a battlefront 3
I am very happy I waited to buy this game. Let’s hope they patch it in the next few weeks.😢
It’s pretty rough, I’ve kind of given up on this Disney ERA of Star Wars and have lowered my expectations 😂
Ok fine I'll give you a pass about not knowing about online, but dude there's graphical design Bugs in some maps on offline such as hoth, how was that noticeable? Or how there's volume/music glitches
I'm a huge fangirl of Battlefront, even found some good in the EA ones. But this? I couldn't even sleep last night without asking for a refund. And I'm glad I did.
Play a few matches today on the PlayStation five version. Definitely saw the hit detection issue a few times. Server connectivity was acceptable, but did get dropped once or twice. Hope the game runs much smoother by the end of the weekend. Fingers crossed.
Battlefront and disastrous launch is now an iconic duo
I'm still gonna buy the game but I'm gonna wait for some patches before I go online with it
Definitely not your fault, still
appreciate your content!
I hate entitled online gamers.
For me there's alot of audio issues for ps5. Audio spikes, quiet audio (even though volume is up all the way), sound from the left coming in on the right and right to left, maps losing textures or having invisible objects, getting stuck on defeated enemies and in spawns. Still haven't done multi-player, but I hope they fix these issues soon.
I'm mixed at this launch, I got it for the Switch and i started with BF2. For the singleplayer, its stellar for me with 60 fps and it only dips to 30 fps when I play XL. However, the multiplayer is where the problems arise, which is disappointing because its my first experience in it. Really hope they fix it and add cross play.
They made it region locked too i think btw. An American friend of ours in our regular gaming group was trying to jump in with us his Aussie mates yesterday & couldn't even find the server i created to be able to join us. Looked it up & it seems as though it may be region locked.
I spent several hours of Galactic Conquest and MultiPlayer, and things seem to be solid af. No problems on my end. Also: been playing the "Classic Edition" for almost 20 years.
after playing story and galactic conquest i can say cheats still work and during story i was still able to unlock achievments with invinciblity and unlimited ammo
Wait the cheats still working? Damnn 😮
Just these haters don't give stuff a chancs
I don’t have that issue. I went in knowing that I was going to play it how I always played it, offline by myself. The game has several bugs but I’m having a blast. No online needed for me 🤷🏽♂️😌
Same for me, back in 2005 i never played anything online, didn't have an internet connection back then. I enjoyed the offline modes & had a tonne of fun doing that. It's what i actually purchased the classic collection for. To me playing the online is just a bonus & i've gotten to play a few decent rounds online but it was never the draw card for me. I did notice that the online is region locked. A friend in America couldn't join us here in Oceania.
I’ve just played offline for the past hour and even the offline is full of bugs! Lots of audio bugs, getting shot through walls, terrible hit detection, and loading radius (flying ships on BF1 ships disappear from field of view unless they’re right in front of you). Most of these issues have been on BF1 as that’s what I’ve mostly played, but even the offline needs a lot of work. I’ve been playing on PS5
As soon as I got on Steam, I looked at its reviews, and at the time I looked at, out of 1700 to 2000 reviews, only 300 or so were positive.
Let’s wait it out. It’s a remaster of two games that were released when Bush was in office. They may be able to work this out.
Yea I dont sgree eith people demanding a "remaster" because it wasnt meant to be that but the lag, glitches, online issues, etc are absolutely unacceptable
Love how people still trusted ASSpyr, they have done nothing but bring us low quality, lazy upscales of star wars games that have all been broken in someway and never fixed,
People are in denial if they think everything will be fixed, they just pump and dump these low quality remasters
What a Disaster Star Wars Battlefront Collection is a complete wreck right now
But yet people are still playing it and i don't care if i get judged for it im just happy to be playing these games
Edit:Go ahead judge me all you want i do not care period i'm just happy to be able to even play these games on my ps5

On a positive note, the graphics look great. On my 4k TV, it looks really good and I am happy. I do think improvements could be made, in particular to the capitol ships, at least exteriorly, could use some attention. Especially the Rebel Cruiser
So far switch lobbies are doing oretty good for me. But, that's all i know so far
Yeah for me it's a little laggy but stable hasn't crashed after an hour and a half playing!
