So I tried playing STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 2 In 2023...
There's no denying that the launch of Battlefront 2 was disastrous. Star Cards, pay-to-win microtransactions, and so much more hurt an otherwise amazing game. Over the years, DICE worked hard to right the wrongs by delivering consistent, quality content for free. Unfortunately, I never got to check much of that out but with Star Wars Day approaching, I thought now would be a great time to see how the game fares!

Padmé, Ashoka, and Asajj would’ve been a dream for me considering they’ve never been playable in a Triple A game. Padmé would’ve been a prime choice for Geonosis and Naboo, especially if they added Jango Fett. While Ahsoka and Ventress would’ve been the perfect balance. I would’ve even been happy if they just added a reskin to Leia’s outfits, allowing you to turn her into Padmé.

I swear that held this game back a lot. Galactic Assault was nowhere near the fun of Conquest and the maps in Conquest were wayy bigger and really had you feeling like you were a part of the wars in the movies. BF2 messed up by making the maps smaller. Ill never have as much fun on Supremacy or Galactic Assault like the fun I had on Galactic Conquest in BF1. Even had all my friends come from Battlefield 1 to Battlefront 1 cuz of this. Now all thats good in Battlefront 2 is the Hero Showdown and Ewok Hunt i.m.o everything else including the campaign besides Luke's Pillio mission is trash.

The game's pretty solid, but for all of the improvements and content that DICE added over time, there were just as many cases of jank and bugs as they worked through that process. There was over a month during summer of 2018 (WELL after launch) during which Palpatine became so broken that they had to remove him from the game. The couple of years of updates consistently introduced new unexpected issues like that, and the game remains in a relatively buggy state since they stopped supporting it. The game is good, but it was arguably killed as it reached its peak. We were on the verge of greatness, we were THIS CLOSE.

This game had so much potential and after keeping up with what the devs had in store for the game's future we would have gotten so much more, including a possibility of the long requested Galactic Conquest mode showing up
For those who are buying this game for the first time to know going in 1. Star Cards They are not "game breaking" but will make a difference and add different tweaks to your character's abilities. There are metas but ultimately the combination is what suits your playstyle 2. Weapons They 100% make a huge difference, there are many tutorials on KZread that explains the benefits of each one 3. Game Modes The wait times aren't bad and I get into populated lobbies easily (I play on PC so this might be different with consoles). The most popular are Galactic Assault, Supremacy (specifically "Age of the Republic"), and Heroes and Villains. I've been playing a bit of Blast recently but for me you can really only get full lobbies during peak hours

To me it made the game more memorable and gave it its own unique taste.

Then in 2019, I bought the game back after seeing a lot of good reviews at that time. I played it enough times, I fell in love it. I haven't even been charged a single penny.
Man i remember how close to hitting the old battlefront 2 on ps2 they got with this one, but man it was nice having the nostalgia.

I used to play this one a lot back then, before & after the reworks. Yes, it's a very different game from launch, but it still left with a lot of problems, the linearity, the Star Card system, lack of new abilities, etc. It's overall worth playing even 2023, but only if you're starting out or getting back into it.
This game is a must for Star Wars fans, even now it's still so damn good and still has an active community. I'll still hop on and play Heroes vs Villains once a month.
I'm still here... Playing this game for hours and hoping for a Battlefront 3 but knowing it's not coming...

I still play a lot of HvV. The community is smaller than it was a few years ago but you still easily find games and it’s still a lot of fun
I played this game when it came out in 2017 and I still play it now on my laptop and my cellphone. I'm like you, when I seen the motions for the campaign, I thought we were gonna get a new point of view. But they did what Star Wars always does, which I don't dislike, but it would've been great to seen it end in a more, unexpected way. But I enjoyed the campaign, overall. Multiplayer for this game is a literal joy. Like I be jumping on Supremacy and be thoroughly enjoying myself. My wish for Star Wars games... I want them to give us a full Skywalker saga game on this engine. Similar to what they did with LEGO Star Wars. Because the acting and the gameplay was top notch. But I can only wish.
I still play it on xbox daily. So much fun lmao replay value infinite. Invading someones ship and making a last stand hits 👌🏼. Try conquest lol holding down a command post till i get overran has me feeling like im noble 6 at the end of reach
if the clone Armor had a customisation system like bo2's emblem editor that would have been the best, like you would have truly custom clone Armor and if you wanted to put the time in you can make really good decals for your Armor.
I still remember playing the beta for the first SW:BF and was in love with the sniper rifle (forgot what it’s called.) But when the game came out they completely changed the mechanics of that rifle and it was never used again. Personally I stuck mostly to the dogfight game mode but had to stop because of how unbalanced the A-wings were to the tie fighters and because of the lag
I’m amazed at how much better the game got in the following years
Will never get tired of this game
I spent so many hours on this game
my Wishlist for a SWBF3 is. - more customization than swbf2 such as armor, battles scars, colors, pauldrons, backpacks etc. they should also expand blast customization with more mods -improved balance for reinforcements/heroes especially for the rebels and resistance and I would like to see more reinforcement archetypes along with more star cards for them -improved terrain and a vaulting mechanic because its very easy to get stuck on things in SWBF2 -a combination of capital supremacy and frontlines from battlefield there's probably more that I'm not thinking of rn but this is what first comes to mind for me.
I just finally got the Darth Maul old master skin last week after three years of not trying. Only took me a couple days too. :)

Its crazy how good this game looks, with all the players on the server at the same time and could run on last gen. Then theres jedi survivor….

Played this on my base PS4, back then. But now I have a PS5 this s*** is crazy and the amount of players That's on it is mind blowing!!!
It’s absolutely wild how this game went from like the biggest disaster in gaming history to possibly one of the best Star Wars games ever made imo. Really the only thing it’s missing at this point is galactic conquest. The story could’ve been better and getting a few more heroes like maybe Mace Windu or Ahsoka since she’s got her own show now would’ve been nice too. But really beyond those 3 things I can’t say I have a complaint about it which is pretty damn impressive. Anyone who hasn’t played it, it is currently on the Xbox game pass and goes on sale very cheap pretty often on PS. Definitely worth giving it a shot.
May 23 Xbox One in UK, Online servers are very much alive and well, I see new players appearing all the time!!! I play every day online

Only problem with Galactic Conquest as a concept in a multiplayer game is that it would just take wayyy too long. If anyone’s played EAW, they also had a conquest type mode that was super fun! Only problem was it took hours to complete and your opponent would either quit due to time or once they saw that they were going to lose they would just quit. It sounds great and I would love it if they brought it back but I don’t see a world where the average FPS player nowadays is gonna sit and go through multiple modes and maps for however long it takes to eventually win or even worse, lose.
Downloading now.
I still play the online co op mode sometimes. The game looks great and sounds great. I could do without the star cards but honestly I wish we got a battlefront 3 by dice with how this game ended up.
