I had to use engineer on that one...throw some detonation explosives for certain spots, try to repair a shelf that isn't destroyed and two troopers being commanded. Line in the Sand was a tough one too, Yoda was a little garbage for that scenario lol 😑
I have fond memories of this campaign from my childhood. In retrospect, it actually amuses me how this campaign gives the impression that Star Wars is a story about how evil wins. The tutorial is really the only real victory for the forces of good is, at best, Geonosis, the tutorial, where the Separatists have their first major blow struck against them with the debut of the Clones. The campaign proper starts in the Outer Rim Sieges, with the 501st on a secret mission securing a component for the eventual creation of the Death Star. The victories in Felucia, Kashyyyk, and Utapau are all tainted either at the time or in retrospect by knowledge of the eventual betrayal of the Jedi, finally seen in the Knightfall mission. Throughout the Clone Wars, the 501st is fighting alongside the Jedi knowing full well they are going behind their back and will eventually have to put a knife in their back. Afterwards, during the inter-trilogy period, we see the 501st as Vader's Fist crushing anti-imperial remnants of the Republic, the last remnants of the CIS with the beginnings of a new Droid Army, and a nascent Kaminoan rebellion using Clone Troopers, leading to the end of the Imperial Clone Army. In the Original Trilogy Era, we see theft of the Death Star plans as an embarrassing defeat for the 501st that is followed up on by the beginnings of the Galactic Civil War, as the Rebellion begins to organize. The Destruction of the Death Star, celebrated in the movies, is instead treated as a horrendous crime that the 501st immediately avenges. The grand finale of the campaign isn't the Battle of Endor, but rather the victory on Hoth. There isn't even mention of the defeat of the Empire. The Battle of Hoth is treated as the back of the Rebellion being broken as a new Death Star, greater than the first, is constructed to serve as the new Crown Jewel of an ever greater Empire. Battlefront II was the story of the 501st Legion, and as my first experience with Star Wars, those Clone bastards will always hold a special place in my heart. I never though seeing a no-commentary playthrough of a game would give me such strong feelings, but I suppose that's what happens when you finally find a complete recollection of a game that gets overshadowed on the internet by its modern counterpart.
Amen. As someone who’s probably favorite thing from the series was the clone army, this game was like a dream come true for me as a kid. You summed it up perfectly. The whole game feels like fan service done right
Hell, you know you love this game when you quote the journals. When I watched HFP's "Our Duty", the use of the 501st journals in the video hit home so hard with the opening "My first day as a member of the 501st..."😑 It's a shame we will probably never get a remaster of these wonderful OG Battlefronts. The Space battles were pretty solid as well, spent a lot of time on that 😁 controls felt very nice. Only thing I was annoyed with is the voice for the clones in-game are not Mr. Morrison's voice...also missed being able to go prone like the 1st game. Bespin Platforms should have been in the 2nd Battlefront, that was probably my favorite map
If you pay close attention to the cutscenes though, our narrator talks about could the victory "have been a mirage? Perhaps." Didn't flat-out mention the fall of the empire, but he subtly acknowledges how the feelings of absolute victory may not have been as absolute as they believed at the time.
I had fun playing this game, especially with the engineer because most of the time I just set down detpacks around enemy command posts then would farm kills with the shotgun that one shots everything whilst healing myself up with the health and ammo packs. Needless to say, this game is probably one of the best Star Wars games out there after 17 years of its existence.
its so interesting to see a perspective from a clone trooper and stormtroopers and now after clone wars series was a thing i really and the let down that we couldn't get a interesting perspective from the "bad guys" in the remake and just made another rebel story line which is so overused i really want a ww2 style movie from the perspective of a stormtrooper just doing his job and see how a stormtrooper see the war could be really interesting aswell as make a real thinker of war is bad message but doubt we will ever see it.
1:15:18 - 1:17:55 Honestly, the role with the Jedi Holobooks should be the other way around in my opinion, since Jedi value knowledge. "There is no ignorance, only knowledge". I get why the troops are protecting the books and the Jedi's reasons for destroying them, but still should be the other way around.
Alongside with the Jedi Purge at the temple, the main objective of Palpatine and Anakin was the search and reading any protected jedi information about the achieve of the inmortality, so it has sense that the jedi attemped to destroy trhis information, without sucess, of course.
Personally, I would say Jedi Academy is better because you play as a Jedi apprentice that you can create from different races. customization is very limited though. you are able to use and level up both light and dark side force powers on nearly every mission. a couple of other gameplay aspects are being able to choose your saber later on in the game ( double bladed and the type that Darth Maul has) instead of a single saber that you start out with, great lightsaber combat, as well as 2 different endings. the game also has a lot of mods such as one where you get to play the duels that are in the prequels. overall, I would recommend that over battlefront 2 because it has a great story, as well as great gameplay.
At the time it wasn't actually established that all the clones would sound like him. Sounds weird but a lot of games from before ROTS had clones with different voices to each other. Although this game was clearly developed alongside ROTS, so they must've known by this point
I can't remember, it was either me having the game windowed and used borderless gaming to make it stretch to fit the screen, or just nvidia shadow play stretching the screen to fit the recording setting. The easier option is just using Anakin's remastered mod.
You spend most of the campaign as a phase 2 501st trooper which is why I went with phase 2, you only do one mission as phase 1 so I don't think it needs it.
Video was copyright claimed by disney, I don't even have monetization turned on, so blame them. If ads are that annoying, you could always use an adblocker
Man I hated protecting the shelves
I had to use engineer on that one...throw some detonation explosives for certain spots, try to repair a shelf that isn't destroyed and two troopers being commanded. Line in the Sand was a tough one too, Yoda was a little garbage for that scenario lol 😑
Same
This comment thread=my childhood
Real pain that is 😂 that part drove me mad
The damn shelves took forever to repair in that fire fight, let alone defend them
The narration of the retired 501st Clone Trooper is even sadder after seeing that homeless 501st Clone Trooper in the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show.

-thermal detonator massacre
_"Just like the simulations."_
This game was literally one giant power fantasy/fan service and that’s what makes it fucking great
“Traitorous Jedi” damn the clones really thought they were fighting for the best :c
They were
The jedi were plotting to kill the chancellor. They were too dangerous to be kept alive.
Those damn control chips.
@@primusvsunicron1 no?
18:19 Man, this was back when AI was actually fun and new, that was a kickass throw!

40:17 I think homie took out a fighter with a bomb. Even the AI should uninstall after that
oh wow you're right! I thought I just shot them but no, the shots missed. That's crazy
Those memories..
I will never forget them
A classic of the Battlefront heart to what if
Don’t tempt me
So excited for the rerelease. This brings back so many memories
2005 the year star wars was really at it's peak
I cant believe how many days i played this game, god i miss it..wish the new remake of it was nearly as good in both campaign and multiplayer
The newer games aren't remakes, their reboots.
@@Ash21 more like re-booty cheeks
Welcome back to Battlefront classic edition 🎉
Oh Temuera, i love your voice
Temuera’s voice makes you believe he was there and his physical appearance was meant to be a clone trooper
"A line in the Sand" this is hard campaign when i play SWBF2 (2005) now it's still hard
its so interesting to see a perspective from a clone trooper and stormtroopers and now after clone wars series was a thing i really and the let down that we couldn't get a interesting perspective from the "bad guys" in the remake and just made another rebel story line which is so overused
i really want a ww2 style movie from the perspective of a stormtrooper just doing his job and see how a stormtrooper see the war could be really interesting aswell as make a real thinker of war is bad message but doubt we will ever see it.
those. fucking. Bookcases.
Even after all these years this game is still amazing! I use the Remaster and Reforged mods they gave an incredible graphics upgrade!
I never played this game but the campaign was so much better than the new dumb imperial campaign for the new game
The empire campaign
1:15:18 - 1:17:55 Honestly, the role with the Jedi Holobooks should be the other way around in my opinion, since Jedi value knowledge. "There is no ignorance, only knowledge".

Man, BF 2004 was challenging sometimes but damn, 2005 was impossible. However I enjoyed this game
Good times with this game a lot of great memories
I love playing the space battles in this video game too👍
I’ve completed the campaign with invincibility and max ammunition
May the force be with you Ash ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Even after as many times as I've played this game, I've never heard the line at 1:48:05.
I loved the game, still have pc cd box :)
This is story mode for star wars legends.....
The memories
Please recommend me which old star wars game should I buy on steam? Battlefront 2 2005 or Jedi academy? Which one is bettter?
I never really got into jedi academy and BF2 is my childhood, so you're asking the wrong person.
Personally, I would say Jedi Academy is better because you play as a Jedi apprentice that you can create from different races. customization is very limited though. you are able to use and level up both light and dark side force powers on nearly every mission. a couple of other gameplay aspects are being able to choose your saber later on in the game ( double bladed and the type that Darth Maul has) instead of a single saber that you start out with, great lightsaber combat, as well as 2 different endings. the game also has a lot of mods such as one where you get to play the duels that are in the prequels. overall, I would recommend that over battlefront 2 because it has a great story, as well as great gameplay.
But little did they know that in the end the empire had lost...........
The sheer Amount of friendly fire in this campaign… Has anyone calculated how much blue on blue Ash was responsible for?
I’ll never understand why they made the clones have murican accents in game.. especially since tem did the narration
At the time it wasn't actually established that all the clones would sound like him. Sounds weird but a lot of games from before ROTS had clones with different voices to each other. Although this game was clearly developed alongside ROTS, so they must've known by this point
Awesome game❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gizor delso is one tough sob to beat😄😄😄
This must be a modded or updated version
*The last two missions on ps2 are constant enemy grenade spam and random spawns on top of you 24/7*
It is the PC/steam version. The only mod I had installed was the main unoffical patch with the free cam.
I still have the game for the PS2!
Awesome!
Up up up left down down down left up up up left right
Heavy trooper works good killing those acklays btw😀
Switch weapons and you will get award gun that is awesome and more effective
My favorite characters in this video game are the Fett's Boba Fett and Jango Fett👍
Best game ever. Wish they would remake it on the newer systems.
Well .. well , you got a remaster atleast 😂
Which mode would you play after the training?!
Yes Kamino and Boba Fett kicks ass
How were you able to record the intro video without it staying in 1024x768?
I can't remember, it was either me having the game windowed and used borderless gaming to make it stretch to fit the screen, or just nvidia shadow play stretching the screen to fit the recording setting.
The easier option is just using Anakin's remastered mod.
Memories...
1:13:03 hail lord Vader
One battle of Endor later
Thumbnail needs a Phase I Clone
You spend most of the campaign as a phase 2 501st trooper which is why I went with phase 2, you only do one mission as phase 1 so I don't think it needs it.
@@Ash21 I know but it would look cool and double as Armor Evolution
Naboo wookie planet and polis massage most difficult missions in this video game but I beat this on PS2 yrs ago 😉
I mean polis massa
