I was there when the beta released, I was there when the game launched, I was there when Starfighter assault was canned, I was there when they announced Grevious and Obi-wan, I was there when Anakin could destroy a whole server with one attack, and I was there at it's end. BF2 (2005) is still one of my favorite games and I'm proud to say that 2017 is a worthy successor. I can only dream about what a BF3 would have been.
lmao remember how broken boba fett was at launch with tier 3 rockets absolutely rain death upon the heroes. or how they nerfed leias butt.... good times good times
dice: we have a great game here, nothing can bring this down. yay. EA: Good. BUT HOW ARE WE GONNA MORE MONEY BACK?! Give these kids random loot boxes to buy and have it take years to get everything.
It's impressive how EA for some reason thought that after making one of the most impressive comebacks of the decade with Battlefront 2 and Battlefield 5, they still decided ego and refusing to just give up on BF2042, a game dead at launch, was more important than riding the wave of good press they were receiving.
I wouldn't say bf5 was a banger. They were coming back with it ig but whatever. I'm just so pissed they dropped bf2 for Squadrons and 2042, man. It feels like a kick in the balls, especially with the last two characters added being joke characters
If this game wasn’t free for PSN like 2 years ago I never would have known it got better over time. I heard about the loot boxes and was like “wow that must suck”. Never gave it another thought until I finally experienced the game and realized everything
Yeah and the collection came out to be a disaster, it's terrible. You're better off buying the original versions of the game. Those versions has mods too.
It's such a shame EA put all their resources and moved the BF2 dev team over to work on Battlefield 2042 over this masterpiece 😂 what were they thinking 😭😭😭 Battlefront could have been even more incredible than it already is 😢
At launch the original trilogy had the most content but ironically by the end of support it had been neglected as they never added capital ships to supremacy, or a fourth reinforcement troop for the empire and rebellion.
I love your take on 2017 BF2. The original will always have a special place but this game in 2024 is SO good! Multiple hero choices in matches, regular troops feel fun and powerful, sounds and lights looks great, maps look great.. So much greatness and could have been more
Co-op / single player “missions” mode (basically pve galactic assault) is so under rated. It was both so good for xp and chill and laid back. I played it more than anything else in the game
I got back into the game recently as well, I’ve been playing the game pretty much since launch and was there through everything, I think it’s safe to say playing this game on console and pc through the years has become one of my favourite gaming experiences ever
@@TheJediMasterPro honestly I've played a bunch of star wars games that people consider to be the best of the best, jedi academy, outcast, Republic commando, KOTOR etc. They're all great, but you can't deny that battlefront 2 is literally the ultimate star wars experience. It's firstly the best looking star wars game, has so many different characters from 3 different eras of star wars and there's so much content in the game. 2 single player campaigns, as well as supremacy, attack/defend missions, battle scenarios, arcade and starfigher combat ALL playable offline with bots. Then online content, you have supremacy, capital supremacy, blast, ewok hunt, heroes vs villains, hero starfighter battles, co-op, and way more. It's literally the definitive star wars game.
This game, is still special to me. I was there when the originals were released. I liked the remake and it was cool. Then this came out. It was fun. I still enjoy it against bots.
I feel like this game is like cyberpunk 2077. The launch was so bad that when they fixed the game no one would give it the chance it deserved, and a lot of people missed a great game
EA’s Battlefront 2 is a cautionary tale on so many levels: Don’t let a notorious company hold an exclusivity for a major franchise; don’t put greedy microtransactions/lootboxes on a full price game; don’t underestimate player backlash; etc…
Can't forget how the campaign completely blueballed all of us by having Iden switch sides to the rebels 1 hour in. They said we would get an Imperial perspective story (something we very rarely if ever see or get in Star Wars) and it ended up just being a rebel's story. So much potential not only lost to multiplayer content, but we forget how insincere and weird the campaign feels compared to what could have been.
I am more into playing the battles with clone v droids, but I will always be with imperial and first order when it come to defeat the rebelions. Specially when hunting donw Lukes
Unfortunately BF2’s campaign was what ultimately made lose interest in the Disney Canon. Nowadays I just follow the 6 movies and Legends. The OG BF2 and TIE Fighter (1994) had better imperial focused campaigns. Marek Stelle ftw!
We really did go through it during this game's life cycle. I'm glad I got to experience all of it as it was being updated, the hype for all the improvements to this game was so damn real.
Thank you so much. After the classic packs were announced the amount of slander this version got was CRAZY. Both are great in their own rights. Its like comparing Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Raging Blast 2.
There's a few things I wanted them to release before they stopped supporting the game, such as more co-op based modes and of course a Galactic Conquest mode. It helps to have other mode types that aren't strictly PVP based. Especially like a Duel mode where you and a friend can fight each other in private mode. Similar to Heroes v Villains mode, but just between two people, in a private mode.
This game was so incomplete, so many planets missing like Coruscant, Utapau, Mustafar, etc, heroes like Ventress, Ahsoka, Windu, Jango, etc, such a shame, i just hope if a BF3 is made in the future, it should be by another company
11:17 Yeah, this is basically the system in old bf2 2005. randomly, after racking up a bunch of the kills (i think it was if you were at the current top of the leaderboard ingame) it would give you a notification if you wanted to play as the hero/villian. i feel they could improve it to what you said, where it would put you in a queue and let you know when that character is playable
My favorite game no question 🙌🏻 (yeah I’m not a hardcore gamer). The maps, the heroes, the reinforcements .. this game is fantastic, such a shame they wasted this huge potential, something I will never forgive EA
I actually recently came back to this game. Based on my unlocks, i didn't put the most time into it the first time but I'm ready to really give it a go this time around. From a lot of the videos I've seen, there's a lot of depth to be learned when it comes to this game
This one of those games where you come back to it for two weeks, play 80 hours of it, have it positive in your mind for the next year, then come back again
Now that the OG Battlefront Games are re-releasing on all Modern Platforms with all DLC's, and Online Support, I'd say it's more likely we get the OG Battlefront 3(if the files still exist and they can find a competent Developer to finish it)before a Dice Battlefront 3, or another Reboot.
Thanksgiving 2024, battlefront 2 servers (US) are gonna be blowing up so make sure yall got the game downloaded Galactic assault Supremacy (republic & rebels) All the hero modes
Idea. What if there is a game mode that takes place at the Jedi temple and you can choose a Jedi. It is a co-op game that you have 3 other teammates that help you protect the temple from the clones.
Im glad the original team behind this game is not around anymore. Maybe when new devs create a Battlefront 3 they'll actually make a game that is faithful to its Battlefield roots instead of overly focusing on jedi heroes and ignoring the infantry combat.
As someone who loved Star Wars Battlefront 1 (from 2015) I in a way always thought the exact opposite way about it (although despite that un the end coming to a somewhat similar result as you in parts). To me one of the biggest mistakes they made with the 2017 game was giving up the unique and creative way of customizing the troopers capabilities and weapons in Star Wars Battlefront 1 for a Battlefield clone style of 'infantry trooper' class system (which doesn't even have much resemblance to the movie originals). As much as I love the game nontheless, it was never nearly as good and balanced as the 2015 Star Wars Battlefront 1 became in the end after it's numerous updates. It's (like you similarly recognized in your own way) just way too much of a 'Battlefield Star Wars Edition' game instead of being a true sequel to the much more unique first 2015 game. Instead of making it a 'Battlefield clone' it could and should have much rather been a more stand alone alternative (like the first game was) with fewer similarities to the battlefield games, not more. On top of that, all of the best game modes and especially all of the best maps SW Battlefront 2 has to offer are all more or less remastered copies of SW Battlefront1 content. The mechanics of the starfighters are indeed much better, but the unbalanced and sometimes outright broken missions make playing starfighters somewhat less fun in the end. I was always really hoping a Star Wars Battlefront 3 game could go somewhat back towards the style and mechanics of the first game again but with new content. Seems like EA will not bring out a 3rd game though, so maybe in the end it's just good that some other game developer may have a chance at doing an all new remake, with better designed maps, better and more balanced missions and game modes, more balanced weapons, better balanced heroes and reinforcements etc. Having to play strike as a rebel with utterly harmless (big or small) furry 'teddies' versus nearly over powered death troopers as enforcements is and always has been rather nonsensical, really, and it just once more demonstrates 'rather poor and somewhat lazy' game development overall (especially when compared to the 2015 game). Despite all these aspects and the vast amount of cheaters running around in the game on PC it still is is a lot of fun to play, of course. But that doesn't change the fact that it could and should have been so much better had it only been more like the first game from 2015 instead of upgrading it with recycled 2015 maps.
@@tomwoggle9411 What are you on about? Battlefront 2015 is NOTHING like the original Battlefront games, its so obviously more inspired by COD's less teamwork oriented gameplay and customization. Its true that Battlefront 2 (2017) is closer to Battlefield's style of gameplay, but it's also far more shallow and less dynamic than games like Battlefield 4 or Battlefield 1. This is why a hypothetical Battlefront 3 needs to be CLOSER to the Battlefield games. It needs better class customization, more weapons and gadgets, cooperative vehicles, and less emphasis on shitty Overwatch styled jedi characters.
I would've loved if this game had mixed factions. I think the most balanced era is probably the clone wars with regards to reinforcements. Edit: By mixed faction, I also mean skins and cosmetics with the infantry because in my opinion, I think its a shame that some of the cooler skins are only limited to their era and where they take place on the timeline.
Remember this game was trashed… we always look on the past like it was so great but when it’s current we hate on it so much happens in sports movies you name it.
One thing you missed is how great the original score for the game is. As a composer and a long time appreciator of the Legendary John Williams scores for star wars I can say that Gordy Haab's music for the battlefront II game is on par with JW. The orchestrations, the motifs, the orchestral textures. It's so satisfying to listen to! It's so memorable to me and possibly my favorite game score.
I like the queue idea you suggested, I’d mix it in with the current system and have it to where- You queue but you aren’t placed in any specific order, you’re just queued to play a Hero character. Now, the way you get “Priority Pick” is by participating and racking up those points, the game will recognize you’ve been doing the most and offer you the pick of the Hero character which you can either accept or pass on. IF more than one person just so happen to rack up the same amount of points/participation score the game will automatically do a lottery pick and offer the Hero character to that player. After that player uses a Hero character they’re locked out of it and the system restarts again for the rest of the lobby. Idk.
This game will always have a special place in my heart, was a new father and spent the night feeds playing this game, they absolutely nailed the Star Wars feel and aesthetics, it truly is an example that game’s perceptions are won or lost at launch, it should be the most celebrated Star Wars shooter ever Also the celebration edition trailer is still one of my favourite game trailers of all time
You don't need a trilogy of Battlefront games. Just give us one solid game that includes a decent amount of starter content and modes. Then over time add characters, add maps at a cost of a seasonal pass to support the devs. Just aslong as there is enough content when purchasing the base game.
On a triple xp day it literally only takes a few hours to max out a hero. I did rey from level 3 to 26 yesterday in coop. So i think its not taking to long at all. quite perfect honestly, did not feel grindy just pure fun for me mostly
Star Wars Battlefront 2’s offline instant action modes are so much fun! Love relaxing and playing the epic battles solo. The AI is really advanced, graphics are great, Kylo Ren and Darth Vader are my favorites to play as, just a joy. Great memories playing it. 😊
I disagree with your take that there's a fair balance of content per era. Clone Wars has a MASSIVE amount of content compared to Sequels and OT. Oddly enough, I think OT easily has the least amount of content, they don't even have ship phases in Supremacy
Yea it’s so much fun when the community comes back and all the people start immediately using the exploits and bugs left in the game to ruin the experience for everyone else.
Almost 4 years since support ended and I'm still here watching videos like this being sad at what all we missed on. God I'd give anything (or pay anything take notes disney) for this game or one like it to come back and stick around as a live service game
Man I played this game from the moment it launched to its last update. I play it every now and then too. But I remember the hype on the community when the clone wars era was announced to be introduced. It was so fire.
I mean if you ask me if they redoo battlefront 2 but with a lot of new maps and heros and maybe one more class like healer or medic or i dunno and maybe the old république and sith empire as battlefront 3 It could be better in my opinion
i was there for beta and launch and everything i met a friend on battlefront i still play with today almost everyday this game was one of a kind its just kind of tragic they ended support for this game so early just so they could release celebration edition and get one more cashgrab i hope in the future that battlefront 3 comes out from another developer and becomes as good as this incredible game
Queue would have been a horrible thing. Imagine going off as a clone commando and getting pulled out because you queued like 15-20 minutes ago. Just lower the timer to force people back into action, there are plenty of other fun units and vehicles to use. As for galactic conquest, I really wish they added this. So many galactic assault maps would have been easily implemented into this gamemode and worked well.
Alternative solution to the hero queue: add more heroes so everyone can play different hero's at the same time, and have enough variety so they can get someone they like
I think if they reboot it again, it should only be one huge, expansive title with live service. To ensure that things don't go to ruin with planning and such, they need to just ditch the trilogy format and put all their efforts towards one title. No training wheel like they've done with the first game, no loot boxes, just put the best product they can out there for one title.
11:33 I like this idea it's similar to the old battlefront 2 where it says you can't play as a hero do you want to y/n? I also think if battlefront 3 someone comes back, that before a match begins a randomizes picks 4 or 6 heroes per side and those are the options for that match because with so many fan favourite characters you can't just have them all in one match.
Regarding the canon timeline, you are exactly on point. Lucasfilms requirement of canon content within the first few years was an asinine restriction on the developers timelines, it took Lucasfilm FOREVER to approve content for the game and ultimately became just as much Lucasfilms fault as it was EA's fault for its early failure.
My theory on why they stopped updating is because they didn’t want the game to get too popular. Like to me it dosent make sense to end a games update cycle in the games peak when it is doing really well. To me it’s just that they didn’t want the gane to expand and wanted to use battlefield as an excuse to stopping the update cycle. And because of that that, the online Star Wars community like gane community took a massive hit.
If they ever do a new game there needs to be a respawn time on the aircraft. Aircraft really don’t have much of a chance to contribute to the team on the ground after they clear out the enemy aircraft in this game since new ones will spawn back in pretty much instantly
When i first downloaded this game about 2 years ago i played heros versus villains and then promptly decided to not play the game. But a few months ago i decided to retry it and ive played the game almost every day since.
As much as I love Star Wars Battlefront series, especially 2005's Battlefront 2 that I played in my childhood, the problem is that in recent years, the entire entertainment industry (not just games, but movies, TV shows and music) is inherently corrupt to it's core, that there won't be a good Battlefront game in the future. All hope goes to modders who'll add more to the table, and/or any indie/AA developer that may hopefully produce a spiritual successor in the future.
Personally I loved the fact that they added unique side characters as heroes in Battlefront (2015). It adds to the charm and uniqueness of the game. Nein and Dengar will probably never be in another Battlefront game. I think we can all agree the more characters we can play as in these games the better.
I was there when the beta released, I was there when the game launched, I was there when Starfighter assault was canned, I was there when they announced Grevious and Obi-wan, I was there when Anakin could destroy a whole server with one attack, and I was there at it's end. BF2 (2005) is still one of my favorite games and I'm proud to say that 2017 is a worthy successor. I can only dream about what a BF3 would have been.

As much as I love the game nontheless, it was never nearly as good and balanced as the 2015 Star Wars Battlefront 1 became in the end after it's numerous updates.
It's (like you similarly recognized in your own way) just way too much of a 'Battlefield Star Wars Edition' game instead of being a true sequel to the much more unique first 2015 game. Instead of making it a 'Battlefield clone' it could and should have much rather been a more stand alone alternative (like the first game was) with fewer similarities to the battlefield games, not more.
On top of that, all of the best game modes and especially all of the best maps SW Battlefront 2 has to offer are all more or less remastered copies of SW Battlefront1 content.
The mechanics of the starfighters are indeed much better, but the unbalanced and sometimes outright broken missions make playing starfighters somewhat less fun in the end.
I was always really hoping a Star Wars Battlefront 3 game could go somewhat back towards the style and mechanics of the first game again but with new content.
Seems like EA will not bring out a 3rd game though, so maybe in the end it's just good that some other game developer may have a chance at doing an all new remake, with better designed maps, better and more balanced missions and game modes, more balanced weapons, better balanced heroes and reinforcements etc.
Having to play strike as a rebel with utterly harmless (big or small) furry 'teddies' versus nearly over powered death troopers as enforcements is and always has been rather nonsensical, really, and it just once more demonstrates 'rather poor and somewhat lazy' game development overall (especially when compared to the 2015 game).
Despite all these aspects and the vast amount of cheaters running around in the game on PC it still is is a lot of fun to play, of course.
But that doesn't change the fact that it could and should have been so much better had it only been more like the first game from 2015 instead of upgrading it with recycled 2015 maps.
@@tomwoggle9411 What are you on about? Battlefront 2015 is NOTHING like the original Battlefront games, its so obviously more inspired by COD's less teamwork oriented gameplay and customization. Its true that Battlefront 2 (2017) is closer to Battlefield's style of gameplay, but it's also far more shallow and less dynamic than games like Battlefield 4 or Battlefield 1. This is why a hypothetical Battlefront 3 needs to be CLOSER to the Battlefield games. It needs better class customization, more weapons and gadgets, cooperative vehicles, and less emphasis on shitty Overwatch styled jedi characters.
I would've loved if this game had mixed factions. I think the most balanced era is probably the clone wars with regards to reinforcements.
Edit: By mixed faction, I also mean skins and cosmetics with the infantry because in my opinion, I think its a shame that some of the cooler skins are only limited to their era and where they take place on the timeline.
This video hits 1,000,000 times harder after the shitshow that is the Battlefront Classic Collection
you're goddamn right man, that game, it deserves the best🔥✊
Remember this game was trashed… we always look on the past like it was so great but when it’s current we hate on it so much happens in sports movies you name it.
21:10 man time goes by so quick.
Galactic Conquest Large Scale Multiplayer would be so good
The modding scene with this game is crazily active, so the game stays feeling fresh for a lot longer
One thing you missed is how great the original score for the game is. As a composer and a long time appreciator of the Legendary John Williams scores for star wars I can say that Gordy Haab's music for the battlefront II game is on par with JW. The orchestrations, the motifs, the orchestral textures. It's so satisfying to listen to! It's so memorable to me and possibly my favorite game score.
I like the queue idea you suggested, I’d mix it in with the current system and have it to where- You queue but you aren’t placed in any specific order, you’re just queued to play a Hero character. Now, the way you get “Priority Pick” is by participating and racking up those points, the game will recognize you’ve been doing the most and offer you the pick of the Hero character which you can either accept or pass on. IF more than one person just so happen to rack up the same amount of points/participation score the game will automatically do a lottery pick and offer the Hero character to that player. After that player uses a Hero character they’re locked out of it and the system restarts again for the rest of the lobby. Idk.
Battlefront classic collection: Hold my beer
Fr.
But there still fuckin us why not remaster that game with battlefronts 2 2017s awesome graphics are they scared to release the best game ever?
@@austinporter6701 it's a remaster so it's meant to stay as close to the original as possible plus Aspyr doesn't have that kind of budget.
It was great at the time but bf 2 2017 is just better. Don’t let nostalgia tell you otherwise
@@userT7898 2017s game is missing so much content.
This game will always have a special place in my heart, was a new father and spent the night feeds playing this game, they absolutely nailed the Star Wars feel and aesthetics, it truly is an example that game’s perceptions are won or lost at launch, it should be the most celebrated Star Wars shooter ever
Also the celebration edition trailer is still one of my favourite game trailers of all time
You don't need a trilogy of Battlefront games. Just give us one solid game that includes a decent amount of starter content and modes. Then over time add characters, add maps at a cost of a seasonal pass to support the devs. Just aslong as there is enough content when purchasing the base game.
On a triple xp day it literally only takes a few hours to max out a hero. I did rey from level 3 to 26 yesterday in coop. So i think its not taking to long at all. quite perfect honestly, did not feel grindy just pure fun for me mostly
Finally you came back to battlefront 2
Battlefront 3 - We're all playing it in our dreams, and it's an absolute blast!
i cant believe how long the remakes have been out now
I remember I got mad once and tried to wait for a Hero... and got kicked for inactivity lol
Was the fairest eff you I got from this game.
Still love playing this game!
It’s soooo sad that this game and BFV died for the disaster that is BF2042
Star Wars Battlefront 2’s offline instant action modes are so much fun! Love relaxing and playing the epic battles solo. The AI is really advanced, graphics are great, Kylo Ren and Darth Vader are my favorites to play as, just a joy. Great memories playing it. 😊
I disagree with your take that there's a fair balance of content per era. Clone Wars has a MASSIVE amount of content compared to Sequels and OT.
Oddly enough, I think OT easily has the least amount of content, they don't even have ship phases in Supremacy
if people just play all at the same time for more than a week they will make a bf3
We need a Jynxzy for Battlefront 2, we need the chosen one.
I seriously love this game, the redemption this game went through was just incredible. So sad that it got cancelled.
BF2 2017 had some of the highest highs and the lowest of lows
I was there since the beta. It's tragic how this game went, such potential. It really is fun.
Yea it’s so much fun when the community comes back and all the people start immediately using the exploits and bugs left in the game to ruin the experience for everyone else.
Almost 4 years since support ended and I'm still here watching videos like this being sad at what all we missed on. God I'd give anything (or pay anything take notes disney) for this game or one like it to come back and stick around as a live service game
We’re getting a GTA 6 before Battlefront 3
Man I played this game from the moment it launched to its last update. I play it every now and then too. But I remember the hype on the community when the clone wars era was announced to be introduced. It was so fire.
I mean if you ask me if they redoo battlefront 2 but with a lot of new maps and heros and maybe one more class like healer or medic or i dunno and maybe the old république and sith empire as battlefront 3 It could be better in my opinion
I still play this game to this day. There's really nothing else like it. Can't stop thinking, and dreaming about what it could have been.
i was there for beta and launch and everything i met a friend on battlefront i still play with today almost everyday this game was one of a kind its just kind of tragic they ended support for this game so early just so they could release celebration edition and get one more cashgrab i hope in the future that battlefront 3 comes out from another developer and becomes as good as this incredible game
Queue would have been a horrible thing. Imagine going off as a clone commando and getting pulled out because you queued like 15-20 minutes ago. Just lower the timer to force people back into action, there are plenty of other fun units and vehicles to use. As for galactic conquest, I really wish they added this. So many galactic assault maps would have been easily implemented into this gamemode and worked well.
Tried to play this yesterday and got annoyed by the amount of things my character would get caught on in the scenery
Loot boxes were blown out of proportion lol. Maxed every hero at 40 and had every card maxed with not that much play time with crafting parts
That hero queue idea is a really nice sort of throwback to the 2005 version
Miss this game so much, used to watch you stream it on the 2nd channel under a different name (smr)
Alternative solution to the hero queue: add more heroes so everyone can play different hero's at the same time, and have enough variety so they can get someone they like
Something EA would "definitley do"
I’ve been playing again recently and man it’s so good
I think if they reboot it again, it should only be one huge, expansive title with live service. To ensure that things don't go to ruin with planning and such, they need to just ditch the trilogy format and put all their efforts towards one title. No training wheel like they've done with the first game, no loot boxes, just put the best product they can out there for one title.
the fact that i have 900 hours in game with no updates .its that good
11:33 I like this idea it's similar to the old battlefront 2 where it says you can't play as a hero do you want to y/n? I also think if battlefront 3 someone comes back, that before a match begins a randomizes picks 4 or 6 heroes per side and those are the options for that match because with so many fan favourite characters you can't just have them all in one match.
Regarding the canon timeline, you are exactly on point.
Lucasfilms requirement of canon content within the first few years was an asinine restriction on the developers timelines, it took Lucasfilm FOREVER to approve content for the game and ultimately became just as much Lucasfilms fault as it was EA's fault for its early failure.
Star Wars battlefront 2 remastered would have to be a little bit like it if it were to happen you gotta admit
My theory on why they stopped updating is because they didn’t want the game to get too popular. Like to me it dosent make sense to end a games update cycle in the games peak when it is doing really well. To me it’s just that they didn’t want the gane to expand and wanted to use battlefield as an excuse to stopping the update cycle. And because of that that, the online Star Wars community like gane community took a massive hit.
If they ever do a new game there needs to be a respawn time on the aircraft. Aircraft really don’t have much of a chance to contribute to the team on the ground after they clear out the enemy aircraft in this game since new ones will spawn back in pretty much instantly
When i first downloaded this game about 2 years ago i played heros versus villains and then promptly decided to not play the game. But a few months ago i decided to retry it and ive played the game almost every day since.
20:39 isnt that what kinda happens rn with the old ones coming to the new consoles xd
BF2 after the overhauls is one of my favorite multiplayer games ever
As much as I love Star Wars Battlefront series, especially 2005's Battlefront 2 that I played in my childhood, the problem is that in recent years, the entire entertainment industry (not just games, but movies, TV shows and music) is inherently corrupt to it's core, that there won't be a good Battlefront game in the future. All hope goes to modders who'll add more to the table, and/or any indie/AA developer that may hopefully produce a spiritual successor in the future.
Personally I loved the fact that they added unique side characters as heroes in Battlefront (2015). It adds to the charm and uniqueness of the game. Nein and Dengar will probably never be in another Battlefront game. I think we can all agree the more characters we can play as in these games the better.
i’ve always preferred Battlefront 2015
