Star Wars Battlefront Classic 1 and 2 retrospective and review. What makes the original old Star Wars Battlefront games so amazing? SWBF classic and Star wars Battlefront 2, 2004 and 2005 respectively, have a lot going on in their games that made these instant classics in the video game industry and for the Star Wars fanbase. Classic Star Wars Battlefront gameplay in the early 2000s was developed by Pandemic Studios and are some of the most iconic Star Wars video games of all time.

I’ll tell you why. They were simplistic enough to understand, but mature enough to enjoy. No post-launch DLC, simplified graphics, and a gameplay loop universally appreciated and understood.
Only George Lucas material, too.
Don't forget no microtransactions
There’s DLC which for some reason was exclusive to Xbox with Kit Fisto and Ventress (BF2)
@@Marc42 not sure that's a good reason to justify why they are good. The new games are fun with original trilogy, prequel and sequel characters to use. Same with the maps and so on.
@@OrionInSpacetrue kylo is fun af to use i. the current battlefront 2 ngl
Back when games were actually completed when launched
There's still plenty of games that are finished products.
@@Sir_Slimbread finished only as much as the company ever intended to finish them, which is sometimes a LOT less than all the way
maybe everyone's firing their play testers idk
@@mow_cat That's exactly it. Why pay people to playtest your game when you can have people pay you to playtest?
Lets no pretend that this game had so many bugs.
BF1 also had a game breaking bug where AI would get stuck on certain parts of the map which meant you were fighting a smaller enemy from the get go etc..
@@ddontyy a lot less severe than crashes and constant stuttering tho, there's different levels of glitchiness
I was born in 93. I think i got to experience the best games in history at the best times. I graduated in 2011. I remember playing banjo kazooie, dk 64, Smash bros 64 as a kid. But then by highschool i was playing MW2, Halo 3, Bad Company 2, Battlefront 2 and Far Cry 3. Not to mention Skyrim and Fallout 3. And so many other games. I truly feel like video gaming peaked through my childhood
Same here brother
oh yes man
Same age, and I agree they definately feel off after 2013
Same! Best era for gaming sure! Worst for everything else 😂
Same wow this hit me haha I just turned 30
I STILL play Battlefront II to this DAY. Especially with this amazing mod called Star Wars Saga Edition that retools the AI, classes, makes skins more accurate, etc and it's absolute bliss
same here brother, do you just play against A.I mostly or have you ever tried to hop into some multiplayer servers? theyre actually still popping and i can get full servers playing vanilla on Steam
@@DRGEngineer I've been mostly doing AI because of Galactic Conquest.
Also GOG brother haha
Retools the AI? How so?
@@DRGEngineer You can even use the console to play the campaign with online coop, my ultimate goal is to somehow get galactic conquest working.
where can you find said mod?
There was nothing more satisfying than beating Galactic Conquest on elite difficultly without losing a single battle.
Id lose all the way to my home world then start the fight there for a challenge.
@@Magavynhigaralmaooo reminds me of Battlefront 1 on Kamino you’d start at 1 CP and you could command literally all your troops to stay in the cloning facility and I’d wait until the droids just flooded in and all hell would break loose. Ahhhh good times in the ps2
@@theFminusclub I forgot about that lol
@@theFminusclubdude bespin platforms, fight for the middle command post was tops for me. Those bridge fights were insane
@@lastfirst3512 yea bro platforms with the x wings and tie fighters in the sky. Or during the clone wars getting hunkered down by droideka fire at the bridge ahhh good times
Battlefront II's campaign was also elevated by the addition of Temuera Morrison. Getting the actual voice of the clone troopers really lent weight to the Journal of the 501st. I still remember his logs on from the Felucia campaign or the attack on the Temple.
Hearing the clones pov on the war was a nice touch. Like you could just feel how heavy the war was to them, especially near the end. Like they knew what they were about to do at the temple was bad, they knew that backstabbing the jedi commanders they’ve fought alongside with for years would haunt them. Did they speak up? No. Every dead jedi, the ride to and from the destroyed temple, no one spoke. Because in the end, they were just soldiers following orders.
The narration was so good. You could hear the emotion and regret in his voice when he talked about betraying the jedi
"None of us could bear to look her in the eye..."
It’s a shame they didn’t keep it strictly Temuera for the in game dialogue. It was jarring going from OG clone narration to pretty much storm trooper speech.

My biggest thing is couch freaking co-op. I get to experience the joys of these game twice. Once with my brother and now with my son.
That is awesome! Me and my dad played this alot on Xbox along with Halo 1 and 2. May the force be with you and your son
@@Dukesparrow1999 thanks he’s to young for halo right now but in a few years
@@michaelstringer1840 how excited are you now since the news of them being re-released with HD graphics and new features?
Me and my brother lost so bad to my dad in galactic conquest back in the day. I wonder if I could get my dad to do another one 🤔
There was no better feeling than getting an “impossible” kill on a hero in the first game. I remember grenade-ing Darth Vader off the edge on Cloud City once and absolutely losing my shit as a kid.
Same. First time I did this to Luke I was so excited! "Omg they ARE killable!!" But then later he respawned and I felt kinda sad
Dude, that shit literally changed the flow of battle. That Bespin bridge choke point gets scary when a Hero is there 😭
The youngsters now adays don’t understand how satisfying the map loading screen is in battlefront 1
Good news came today my friend
Hm?
@@egerm6255 remastered announced for release soon with multiplayer play. (All platforms )
The battlefront collection is upon us watch those writs rockets
Just a cash crab, only re-release not really improvements
@@Swisshostit shows a recognition of what we love, and when it SELLS that will hopefully reinforce that this is what we want. We might FINALLY get a good new battlefront.
It also makes it accessible on new consoles, which isn’t a bad thing
It’s actually possible to kill the heroes in classic battlefront, and to make it a confirmed kill. You have to use a speeder bike, lock onto the hero by shooting while you’re speeding at them in order to center your reticle and then drive through them, resulting in you getting the kill.
Another way, if you had the spatial awareness and starfighters were available on the map, was to land directly on top of them.
@@kyomeimagikill7016squish
U can also knock them off the map of something like kashyyk and bespin
Or kamino I mean
You can also brute force it, as they have a lot of health but not infinite health. Just you'll be firing at them pretty much the whole battle before you take them out.
All in all the ways of stopping heroes in OG Battlefront are pretty Looney Tunes.
About what you said concerning BF2 (2005) having no microtransactions and etc: the game was launched finished. Then, some time after, on the Xbox there was a DLC with new maps and characters, but that was released after the game had launched finished. The DLC was just an extra, not a requirement to enjoy the game and the DLC wasn't released on launch.
$5
DLC isn't a microtransaction
I literally only learned about this DLC a few weeks ago, and it's been 20 years xD
Microtransactions ≠ DLC. Apples and oranges my guy.
@@youwayo exactly. Both are made to make you part with your money.
It felt like a war, so many troops just throwing themselves at one another. Pure chaos
Rhen Var Harbour. We lost many a good trooper in those tunnels 😢
These games come from an era where graphical fidelity was fairly low because they were working with limited technology. As such, the developers could focus the time and energy of their team on making gameplay that was remarkably good. The story of BF2 is my favorite part.
8:05 I remember as a kid figuring out that you could use those gigant two wheeled vehicles (8:27) on Geonosis to kill the Jedi, fun times!😄
Yeah those (we called them lasso tanks lol) were one of the few things that would effectively kill the jedi/sith, landing the gunships on them works too but damn near impossible lol
Maybe you didn't know it, but you get the power ups permanently once you get 64 career medals. So 64 war hero medals and you have the damage buff all the time.
yep, and this was the case for every medal, including the special weapon ones. Get everything to that rank and it's quite ridiculous. Always annoyed me though once i got the sniper to that rank because i'd have to remember not to swap to the award weapon - it could pierce through multiple enemies but did much less damage. Contrast that with the award pistol, which could fire as fast as you could click with pin point accuracy and instant kill headshots... There were some interesting awards too, like the heavy's remote controlled rocket or the engineer passively restoring vehicles they're in after managing to slice into a few enemy vehicles
@@jinxs2011 So I'm not the only one to have grind to get all the weapons just to get screwed over by this XD
@@jinxs2011 Yes, I hate the award sniper rifle, but the award pistol is super: like a mini sniper rifle. With the award rifle and the award pistol, I would often use the pistol as my primary and switch to my rifle as the backup!
I remember grinding to max out every meal
@@jinxs2011I still don't have the award sniper rifle. I refuse to. I will just refuse to get more headshots, while sniping.
Crazy you’ve posted this a couple of months ago - now we’re getting a rerelease supporting a massive multiplayer online component! Can’t wait to revisit this and experience those epic battles all over again 😭

@@MonsterfromHell2543 very cool
@@MonsterfromHell2543ok then
played the hell out of Battlefront 2 with a friend before and after school everyday when i was a kid. this video is flooding me with nostalgia. thanks chop
Me and my buds would come over to my house before soccer practice as there was a little time between school ending and practice starting, and the school was like a mile away. And we'd always play this nonstop until we had to go. Or whenever they came over just to hangout. Good times
Battlefront 1 also gave us a lot of the Iconic maps that we know and love in Battlefront 2. Naboo: Theed, Hoth, Jaba's Palace. Bespin Platforms. Mos Eisley. They're all so good.
Jaba's Palace isn't in 1 and Bespin isn't in 2. Battlefront 2 was a step backwards IMO, removing the combined ground and air maps.
@@sneakykangarooman442 You are right that I miss remembered Bespin Platforms being in 2. But you can check the BF1 wiki if you do not believe me that Jabba Palace is in one. As for the meat of your comment. There are mods that let you play BF1 maps on BF2 and it is the best of both worlds.
Edit: Ah, I see the problem. Jabba's Palace was added in an update listed as "1.2 Update" So if you have a launch version of the game it will not be on there.
@@AubSec I have it on PS2, there are no patches haha
Edit: or mods!
Jaba's Palace was released for 1 as an add-on later after its release. I know because I was in the official game lobby when it was due to be released and everyone was so impatiently waiting for it to be made available!
@@sneakykangarooman442
The PS2 is the worst version to play the games on lol. PC and Xbox got Jabba's Palace in the first game and Xbox got both Rhen Var maps, Cloud City and Yavin Arena remastered and slightly updated/changed in BF2 along with Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress
The differences between the original battlefronts just shows what game development can do when the creators actually care and put in the effort to make quality games.
Piloting an Arc 170 was like having a wish come true fr
Who’s here after the announcement?
Yay yeah! 👍
Sure, pre ordering it with my cousin (03.03.2024)
Never going to touch EA’s garbage again.
MEEEE
And who's here after the fallout?
I personally think the story of 2 also helped. It was very simply told, but there was a lot of emotional weight to the little audio logs before and after the mission. It's been quite a few years since I've played star wars: battlefront 2. Yet I can still recall the words upon leaving Felucia. "It was a good we were wearing helmets, because none of use could bear to look her in the eye." Or after you get off of Mygeeto. "If they could be fooled, they could be killed." Have the EA ones left such a mark on anyone, let alone me?
I've played every Battlefront to exhaustion. The newer ones do NOT have any emotional weight or depth to them IMO. They're fun, yes... But I can't even tell you what's special about the story offerings.
@@iceicebabie There was luke in his prime, I think. Assuming that's the new Battlefront with the Imperial Hellfire Squad, or whatever it is that they're called.
Apparently they actually had to almost completely redo the entire game only a few months before launch, which is why the campaign is so simplistic when you actually look at it (just some basic objectives with a killer voiceover). Idk how true that is, but if it is, like.... well done
The single player campaign for EA’s Battlefront 2 was what ultimately made me lose interest in the Disney canon actually :P
these games have been getting alot of attention on youtube recently. as someone who still plays Battlefront 2 OG, im glad everyone is coming back to remember how good these games were. would love to see a big content creator get some servers going and give this game an active community again
before anyone tells me the game is too old and thats impossible, just take a look at Age of Empires 2 (another game i still play but contrastly too Battlefront, still receives updated and has a thriving community on RUclips)
@@DRGEngineer Honestly old games are usually the best anyway but I guess it would also be nice to have Battlefront 1 and 2 remade by devs passionate about it and another good Battlefront game is Renegade Squadron the downside it was PSP exclusive if I remember correctly but it was also a fun game I heard Elite Squadron was decent but I haven't really played it, now I think of it I should play it 1 day but anyways it would be nice to see Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron ported to PC as well or remade, but I guess that's honestly a dream.
@@sgtjasonbond
These games don't need remakes. The new games are proof of that.
All it needs is a very healthy multiplayer population, multiplayer servers on consoles re-acrivated and a thriving/active community
@@ugiustuskeiserus8066 While I do partially agree they don't need to be remade I'm still on the opinion it would be nice if it was made by passionate devs as well or they should at least port Renegade Squadron or Elite Squadron to PC since imagine all the mods that can be made for those 2 games especially, since there's a bunch of mods. But yeah I do partially agree.
Great news
I already pre ordered the classic collection. Me and a couple of my childhood friends are ready to play as soon as we can.

I like being a hero in Battlefront II but I enjoy just being a regular trooper more. I feel the heroes were super OP n I’m worried we’re gonna see that in the new remaster..
Literally my childhood was this game. Many sleep overs staying up all night playing these two first battlefront games
I'll back you up, along with Halo 1 and 2, complete with pizza, candy and soda, me and my friends had the time of our lives
The OG Battlefront are the simple games I've loved since I was a kid. Me and my brother's played it all the time on our ps2. Everything about the game was awesome. You were in the movie locations, you looked like the guys from the movie, and you did stuff in the movies. It's one of my favorite games ever made. And it should totally get a remake, more people need to play it to see what a true battlefront game looks like
That kill on the dark trooper at 6:16 as he jumped. Loved those moments.
Working as security and stuck at work at the New Year. Our object was completely empty and we had nothing to do, so I looked over my laptop for some games, I might have installed and forgot about. Found Star wars Battlefront 2004/2005.
24 hours shift passed like a hour and I still didn't have enough. The games are legendary
Lucky dude
And now they are returning!!! Will be buying for my PS5 and Steam for my Steam Deck.
Me ps5 and Xbox cant wait
And the classics collections just been announced
Cant wait to see you on the battlefield trooper
2 months later remaster is announced
Dude those menu screens are just so cool even now. Would love to see stuff like that again!
Gotta say though galactic conquests one fault was far too many space battles. The enemy AIs constant spawning of a capital ship next to yours whenever you’re moving to their system made for way too much repetition. I honestly don’t know why nobody talks about it, it really made for such monotony to spend well over half the game time in space, especially since they’re always the same
Yeah, space battles got tedious after not long at all
I remember that, I ended up using a different ship every time space battles happened just to mix it up a little
The space combat and playable heroes were the main joy I got out of Battlefront 2. I loved every chance to fly in space.
@@Galiant2010well, yeah. If you take away playable heroes and space combat the game is a cut down BF1
True. Sometimes you could have two space battles in a row, and it got real tedious of space battle, planet, space battle, planet etc. Especially since most space battles played exactly the same.
Yeah man, I really feel bad for the youngsters coming up nowadays. The late 90's into the mid-late 00's was the golden age of gaming. Obviously good games have, and will always be made, but that era was something else. Kotor, Halo, battlefront, Morrowind, Vice City & San Andreas, Fable, Burnout... Games back then were created as a passion project, not as a shareholders return on investment. There were no microtransactions, there were no battlepacks or subscriptions, there were no cosmetics markets or pay-to win, or loot crates or shark cards, or DLC's.. it was all just about making a good game that people wanted to play. Developers were trying to earn their customers, not just greedily expecting them to consume slop, then chastising them when they speak up.
The best thing about BF1 was the maps.
I don't remember much else
BF2 improved and expanded on it so much that BF1 was simply overshadowed, except for those unique maps.
On Xbox a lot of the maps were remastered and slightly updated in BF2 dlc. The maps were Cloudy City, both Rhen Var maps and Yavin Arena. And it came with Kit Fisto as a hero and Asajj Ventress as a villain as well as adding the heroes vs villains mode to a bunch of maps
Ah the nostalgia of playing BF2 CTF against the AI on Geonosis as a kid as I tried to reenact the Battle of Geonosis and make it last as long as I could for the spectacle... Good times.
Because they had great content and details.
Also the fact that original battle front 2 had the rise of the empire campaign one of the best solo or coop campaigns in any star wars game to date.
I preferred the prone mechanics and FPV cockpits from 1, but 2 added some awesome features in their own right, namely space battles and playable heroes.
Star Wars Battlefront II is a timeless classic like AOE 2. It never gets old, it's always fun, and brings back great memories.
I would substitute in BF1 and Age of Mythology
I had so much fun with hero mode. I played it so much that I found out that if you just do nothing and go fuck around somewhere else (like trying to get to the top of that giant pillar in the stage) the hero's are going to win every time.
These are the only 2 video games I still play to this day. Just so easy to boot up and immerse yourself in the grandest battles of the universe
Probably the fastest click in my entire life
The AI in BF1 is better than in BF2, to be honest. For example, in BF2 enemies are obsessed with you, they focus entirely on you even if there are enemies next to them and you are far away. And they suicide with grenades a lot more. BF2 also doesn't have going prone and concussion grenades, those were good against vehicles in the first one, plus some of the maps are worse (e.g. Geonosis). And, in my opinion, the gunplay was a bit better in BF1. You are absolutely right about Galactic Conquest in BF2, though.
I agree and 2 u could play the heroes and villains but imo just about everything else 1 does better
I’ve always thought the graphics were worse in BF2
@@TheBlackBantha The textures in BF2 are better, but BF1 has better lighting.
8:06 Blowing heroes off the map or out of bounds in Battlefront 1 is NOT the only way to kill them! You can ram them with a speeder bike, or land a ship on them, which will kill them instantly.
I only got into star wars because I played a PS2 demo disc of the first Battlefront. I was in 2nd grade and I was completely hooked. Playing split screen galactic conquest with your neighborhood friends in the 2000s was definitely a canon event for middle class suburban kids
The first Battlefront I still pull off the shelf and throw myself into free play with all maps set to random. Classic.
Still regularly playing. I got Battlefront back in 2004 and I haven't really stopped playing.
i love that its re-releasing

The imperial officer commanding the Stormtroopers was always so cool to me. Credits to the VAs that really made the armies feel truly different 👌
To this day one of the most fun gaming experiences I've had as someone who's been gaming for more than 15 years is playing Battlefront 2 on my older brothers PSP. It's the definition of pure AWESOME and FUN gameplay that won't let you put down the controller. If I had that experience today as an adult I still wouldn't put it down. To the point of why the old ones are special it's as simple as this: No microtransactions, and not live serviced.
I'd take a new Battlefront game as a RTS like old C&C (RA or KW) or even like Halo Wars, at this rate because I miss Galactic Conquest so much. Heck implement the mechanic from BO2 Strike Missions where you can control from tac-view or on the ground and I'd be fairly happy, especially if dlc shit is kept to a minimum. Throw in a good rewarding grind with rewards like alternate skins or voice lines. Put something like the Challenge Cards from Alien: Fireteam Elite to give a bit of more challenge and replay-ability, like : Completing this mission you'll get 2500xp, +2k Credits and a Autocannon bonus, but Bacta-tanks and "Enforcers" (SBD's, Cl-Co's, Magna-Gs and Imp-Offi) are disabled.
Galactic Battlegrounds w/ CC and Empire at War, still beloved RTS games. Lots of mods too, rly good ones :)
There were multiple ways to kill heroes in the original Battlefront. You could push them off the map, impale them with a speeder bike, or crush them by landing on them with a ship
Whats your take on the announcement of the SW Battlefront Classic Collection? As an Xbox owner I am a psyched to be able to play these again on my console.
I fired up my ancient Slim PS2 today and after a gut wrenching time of the old machine trying its best to read the disc, I got to relive the magic of Star Wars Battlefront 2004. Instantly took me back to a simpler time when I could jump into the sandbox and the world was my oyster. Great video and I agree with your comments. Knocking on wood that my copy of battlefront II still works!
Yep this is the sign I need to play again today 😂
I have always sucked at shooter games, but Star Wars Battlefront was one of my favorite childhood games, especially the second. One of my fondest memories was recreating the Legolas/Elephant scene with Luke and an ATAT on Hoth.
This guy knew something we didnt
So a little fact on SW:BF1(2004) you can kill heroes, they were just very hard to do. Making matters worse immune to blaster fire as they would just reflect it back to hit you, and their melee attack was a one hit kill too. However grenades can damage them and knock them around. Best is with a grenade launcher class like the rebel Wookie or the empire Dark Trooper. When they die they drop their lightsaber and take a kneeling position then fade away. They do respawn however so they don't stay dead. You can see how many times they died in the score screen at the end of the match. I think the record we had at one time was 4.
I personally preferred the maps (Rhen Bar especially) and the neutral teams (sandmen etc), and the environmental aspects of (sarlac pit, carbon freezing chamber) the original 1. But generally perfer 2 for everything else.
I played the PSP battlefront game and it applied the ground to space elements and it also told and amazing side story . Incredible campaign and gameplay . I would love that on an actual console
I loved the gameplay so much, but the main thing that stands out to me now is how complete the games were compared to what we usually get nowadays.
It had a good singleplayer campaign, a fun and replayable galactic conquest mode (which you could play with your friends splitscreen or against the computer), you could just set up whatever map and mode you wanted to play in instant action, and could play it online too.
I'm surprised you didnt mention battlefront 1's map loading screen. Still lives rent free in my head
It's scary how I started getting nostalgia for Battlefront just a few weeks ago and then just some time later we got the news about the re-release. I'm so fucking hyped for this
And here we are getting a collection of both classic games with 32v32 online multiplayer!
Its going to be sick cant wait till tomorrow
I remember all rbe cheats you could do in BF2. A lot of wall cheats but also ship potion cheat on Mos Eisley.
You convinced me to pop in the Battlefront 2 game and spend my evening playing that again. Merry Christmas!
Heroes weren’t playable in the first Battlefront because the whole purpose of the game was to play as the everyday soldiers from Star Wars. There were tons of games where you could play as the heroes of Star Wars, but Battlefront 1 was the first where you could just play as the normal soldier on the frontline.
World Champ here, landing dropships on star destroyers and respawning there was awesome!
The psp battlefronts are so easily overlooked because they were handheld only but the way they did do the ground to space and back to ground was an amazing and fun transition. I truly hope they make a new one like the old ones. If not then remaster renegade and elite squadron into a squadrons collection.
Still have my original copy of SWBF2 that plays perfectly on my Series X. Couch Co-op with my kids is amazing
I LOOVE the Ps2 Battlefront 2. Still have it on steam. The space battles as a kid was a dream come true.
If you’re 25 now, you must’ve been 4 or 5 at most when these dropped. 😂
My first console was the SNES, that was more kid oriented than the 6th generation consoles these games were made for.
I have both games, and still play both. But your review made me feel inspired to go back and enjoy them with new appreciation for what made them so good.
As someone who’s only played Battlefront 2, I’m really excited to play the first one when the classic collection releases in March
Not gonna lie I disagree battlefront II squashed the og one. I always felt like those were two version with their own advantages and played both of them equally.
Posted too quickly : hope you'll enjoy the 1st one as well!
Those power-ups when you go on kill streaks were so great. Same with the upgraded weapons when you got the awards a number of times in the entire game. It's just so simple but great progression
Killing the heroes in Battlefront 1 on some maps is pretty easy actually. All it takes is running them over with a speederbike.
I remember ground-to-space battles being in the psp Battlefront: Elite Squadron and having so much fun with it.
Awesome vid!!! These games were a huge part of my childhood.
Another fun thing to do in BF2 was the Wampa hunt, where you can either fight the Wampas, or be them which was WAY better. I remember punching people into oblivion 😂😂😂
I’m adding to the list of things people wanted back because it was so enjoyable.
Subspace emissary (basically story mode) for Smash Bros.
Galactic conquest for Starwars battlefronts.
WE BACK BABY LETS GOOOO!!!
I remember playing this game on the PS2 shit was fun asf
Brothers in arms , battlefront 2 , wwe 2010 where the best games back in my childhood besides Ace Combat
This is a great analysis video. Good work!
These games were and still hold up extremely well. They don't have the "realistic" elements of more modern shooters like unsteady aiming and whatnot, but their gameplay is solid and the content was there. As many hours of content as you could want and you can keep adding it up.
Fun Fact: Rhen Var was the final resting place of Ulic Qel-Droma 4,000 years ago. His spirit was instrumental in helping Anakin destroy The Dark Reaper on Thul, another planet only featured in the Attack of The Clones game.
The thing I love about the first battle front. Was the vehicles it didn’t take five shots to kilogram Trevor it was one shot in that thing was gone which is what I loved about it because it felt like you were in an actual tank.
Galactic conquest was my main appeal with the older games. With the new Battlefront 2 by EA the only 2 game modes I've ever touched are campaign & coop - and that's too restrictive, so I haven't touched that game as much
The mos fun things about those games that they are hevily inspired SW Empire at War which is now on of the most popular star wars games in steam
I’m 26 and I had (and still have) such a deep love for bf2. This was gaming at its absolute finest. Everything you’ve said is spot on
Saying something from 04 is “incredibly old” feels so bad it's truly inefable. My god the pain. Fck the present
luv your work dude
I got to grow up playing the original games on the xbox. Me and my bud would spend hours screwing around in Mos eisley and on the hunt missions. I then got to experience playing the second game in high school with my best friends while the movies were dropping. Some of the best memories I've ever had. There's something special about these games, and its a shame that they can't seem to keep the momentum to get to a third game.
Bro!! This brought me back lol I remember playing this with my brother for hours. What a time to be alive 😅
7:55 Reminded of the time when I witnessed Darth Vader get eaten by the Sarlacc. XD
I always preferred the first game when I was a kid, probably because it had my favorite maps between the two, still loved bf2 though. Both of them are probably two of my favorite games of all time
I remember playing these games at my friends house. We had so much fun playing for hours. Eventually when I got my own Xbox, I played so much of this with my little brother and cousins. They really are fond memories that I hope my children will someday enjoy.
I think that the reason why the heroes and villains were not playable in the 2004 Battlefront game was because it was meant as both a soldier simulator and a recreation of the battles from the movies. Hence the tagline "Live the Battles".
I remember coming home from school and playing it. This was on of my favorite games and I was super disappointed with the remakes. But I bought both of the original ones on the series x so I can still play them and it’s so much fun. Conquest was the shit man. It was so fun I spent hours doing it. I still own them both on the original Xbox and the ps2 they are on display in my game room. I always took the gun ship to the ship, and then other clones would pop out and fight the interior of the ship as well.
I remember getting the first Battlefront for me and my brother’s birthday weekend. It was during the days of Star Wars’ prequels and we got the toy lightsabers, action figures, clothes, but man, Battlefront for the PS2 was the highlight. We poured so many hours into this game, doing versus or working together and had a blast. Battlefront 2 was more of the same for us. Was an awesome time to be alive.
