For clarity: In the first video, *the online modes couldn't be tested* because they hadn't come, well, online. I said this in the original video. Now that they've fully launched the multiplayer we can see how bad the servers are which is why I made this update video to alert people instead of pretending everything is fine. 99.9% of you guys understand this, but some seem to be struggling... lol

It definitely needs some serious network AND main game fixes. So far, I've had my immersion broken by AI not being as smart as it was on the original game, random crashes, noises glitching out and becoming bass boosted, noises playing with the wrong cues, lack of singleplayer post mission cutscenes (aswell as the cutscenes that are in are super compressed and lagged), BF1 being for the most part under worked on, glitched player models (mainly the rocket trooper), etc. Mp is fine for me now, my main issues are the solo play stuff which is honestly my biggest thing. If you fail offline play then you fail overall. I recently just compared the PS2 version and the ps5 version and tbh ps2 has the best experience for offline.

@@maboilaurence8227 Thanks for the quick summary. So far, doesn't seem enough they've done enough vs the OG versions to make me want to get it and you mentioned the rest is a direct downgrade.

Campaigns are missing entire cutscenes! Altered lighting update has ruined the whole look of levels to the point of washed-out, gray-scale. Can't invert Y-axis on mouse or controller (Originals you can. This can thankfully be achieved with Steam Input's overlay). No crossplay (was advertised, but that advertisement has since been removed). Split-screen is now limited to 2-player (Originals had 4-player split screen on Xbox and via the official Multi-tap adapter for PS2). Textures, while sharper, are lazily just A.I. upscaled; and some aspects of the games (HUD/Main Menu) aren't even properly redone, they're simply left stretched from the original 4:3 aspect ratios. Online multiplayer is an abysmal mess. Both the original SWBF1 and SWBF2 on Steam are ~11 GB combined. If you were to add the upscaled teztures mod for both the originals with widescreen patches, this brings the original games combined to only 18 GB. I am trying to wrap my head around where the other ~42 GB in this new re-release to make it nearly 60 GB is coming from! I won't tell you how to spend your money; but I simply refuse to support this garbage. Even with Aspyr's reputation to drop the ball consistently, I foolishly still had my hopes up for this collection. Day ruined, man.

A lot of texture and lighting issues. Some audio is weird sounding, like the BF1 loading screen sound, BF2 victory sound... So many issues with this release I just don't know what they were thinking.

apart from massive layoffs throughout the industry, server capacity issues(unwillingness to put more money into it) seems to be the biggest problem for online games these days.

reject the empire, reject the rebel, join the HellDivers, fight for Super Earth

No LAN on console is absolutely ridiculous

Doesn’t surprise me that the multiplayer is broken. I hope they get it fixed. Not another Redfall game :/

Other than the multiplayer issues, there are three other massive issues for me specific to the PC version: 1. Mouse input feels super wonky and off, likely due to this being a console port and the game trying to translate mouse input into analog stick input. 2. The UI and menus are terrible on PC with a mouse and keyboard. Again a side effect of porting the console version. 3. At ultrawide resolutions, the UI is super bugged. Certain parts (like the ammo counter) are stretched while others are not. Class select screen looks terrible. Feels like your actual view is just 16:9 cropped at the top and bottom.

Companies think that these older games aren't worth it and that nobody plays them but almost every game has some cult following of adults wanting to relive the experience. I believe that this is the Age of Remasters, the perfect time for Older games to be remade with great graphics and even changed a bit to make them perfect. Capcom has the right idea! 💡

seeing that rubberbanding i have the feeling they didn't adjust their server scripts to tick for the new framerate

I noticed my version i purchased yrs ago was changed to classic when battle front 2 (new one) released cant believe its this bad :(

Refunding until it's fixed, if it's not fixed soon I'm not buying it again. By soon I mean a week or less.

I couldn't even load into my profile today on PS5. So there goes all the singleplayer progress I made.

I only got it for the single player and split screen having a plast bringing back memories

The thing is custom servers are available to remedy this, also for people who have not got this collection yet and seen the video they have got more servers at least for xbox

Is there the offline LAN option on consoles as well like in the originals or is it just on PC?

I was playing a little bit last night after a vigor and black ops 2 session and was laughing at matches lasting a grand total of 4 minutes. I played both games on the xbox in the mid-2000s and remember more long and exciting matches.

Playing GC right now. Amazing

Got this on PS5, and there is no option in the menus to invert the Y axis. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but for me, I can't play it with the default settings. Really a bummer.

I'm having an issue with splitscreen on the Switch version: it just says "Please Insert Controller" for player 2, even when I have two controllers paired to the console. Does anyone know why this is? Do both players need to have a Nintendo Online account even for offlline splitscreen play?

Is it only broken for PC? It seems to work fine on Xbox I played on two separate servers and didn't have any lag

Battlefront 2 from DICE be poppin off right now! Just played each trilogy for conquest with full lobbies on Xbox series X. I love OG battlefront bought it when it dropped as a kid but this is so sad to see. Waiting for patches to buy 💯

My big thing is look inversion. I play inverted and for the original games to have that feature but the re-release doesnt is super annoying. My experience with the multiplayer was that I shot an AI rebel in the back 20 times and 2 registered. Waiting on the quality of life updates that hopefully come in the next 24 hours. If not then i made sure to play less than 1 hour in case of a refund situation.

Honestly didn't even get as far as playing an online match because I couldn't finish the tutorial without inverted aiming.

Honestly this is exactly how I remember the game felt back in 2005. Big chaotic laggy matches but we had nothing better at the time so it was the best. My all time favorite is Battlefield 2142 it was released a year later but I remember like it was so much better than Battlefront.

Nostalgia Bait and yall went with it 😅 even my mate did straight after playing he asked how to refund to get Helldivers 2 😂

My friend bought it for us to play and he's always been an only inverted player, thus cannot play it.

People didn’t see this coming? 😂😂😂

Was there issues for the ps5 or is this just on steam

tbh they probably thought (and rightfully so) that the pull for this would die off by like 95% after the first week of nostalgia dies down, but I dunno why they didn't just hire a bunch of servers on a weekly basis and then cull them as the usercount dies.

Gamers get what they deserve. Keep preordering, keep buying the second a game launches. I'm sure things will change someday if everyone keeps doing it.

Fortunately, all the good memories I have of the classic Battlefront games consist of the single player content; I never really got into the online multiplayer side of it and will purchase the classic collection purely for the single player modes. Knowing that the online gameplay is broken just saves me the trouble of testing it myself.

Was looking for a comment who said it but I didn’t see one. They only had like 6-9 official severs listed for BF1 and BF2. (Didn’t go back and count them) The rest all look like hosted matches that you could join. which explains why there were only two people playing on most. Someone hosting to play with a friend or two. So there still aren’t a lot of official servers but they doubled the amount or more so there’s that lol.

Unfortunately devs don’t give a crap about the players or they would include this from the start, but I’m finding more and more that do a half ass job on control options and that’s sad.

Glad you posted a follow-up video unlike The Act Man and his Payday 3 video.

There were 8 dedicated servers on BF2 last night. No issues with lag or hit reg or anything, everyone is just copy-pasting the 1st hour issues.

Im on xbox and trying to play the 2nd one and nothing comes up press refresh still nothing can anyone help?

I logged thousands of hours on the original SWBF2 on PC. I don't think people remember how 'broken' the original game was. I could go on an on with specifics. But that's what made the game special and gave it a challenging skill ceiling especially at the competitive level. 8:56 happened all the time in the original. The original couldn't handle when a mine detonated in a high traffic area in online.. the game would freak out just like that. We just learned to deal with it back then.. After 20 years of multiplayer 'improvement' in the gaming industry.. its a lot more obvious now.. but like its stated.. this isn't a remaster.. so they didn't actually fix a lot of the issues that were there from the very very beginning.

So instant action is still totally playable right? Its just the multiplayer thats messed up?

I do love the double standard though of how Hell Divers 2 had the same problem yet they also knew how many people pre ordered.

Arrowhead was prepared for the number of people that preordered, and in the first few days the servers ran well, then as word of mouth spread a ton of people started buying the game and servers got overloaded, they increased the capacity pretty quickly though despite having hundreds of thousands of people more than initially accounted for. As you can see, there is no double standard.

@@user-vd6em1ie6v this game is playable. The entire game is playable the only issues it really has is the multiplayer. Also I never said Hell divers 2 wasn’t playable at all. Now on the first week It was somewhat playable if you could even get in. And even when you got in it was a roll of the dice if the game would give you any progression.

i pre-order nothing now. all you get is tears

I’ve seen people mostly on TikTok saying that what else should we have expected for a 15+ year old game. Like bro the age of the game has nothing to do with the lack of servers!!

such a shame, will kick the wind out of its sails in a way it wont recover unlike how Helldivers did.

You can still play the game offline with bots, that’s how it’s supposed to be played anyways.

They were supposed to bring balance to the force not leave it in darkness

Played it with my buddy the hour it launched and almost immediately realized they fucked it up. By played it, I mean couldn't play it at all together.

My issue is that there are basically no options for bf1 on pc.

There is no way to host your own server?

Just wait for a sale, it'll be in better shape by then... hopefully

They probably host these on AWS so they can spin up servers in very quickly

You prob tricked a ton of people into buying this yesterday with your video

Aspyr seemed to have rushed re-releasing this game and didn't quite finishing squashing the existing bugs before release.
