Current Events > OG Battlefront II can be the most bullshit thing ever <_<

(+) Yeah! (+)

the AI is nonsensical.

Sometimes you win handily

Othertimes you, the player, have to hard fucking carry your side to a victory by the skin of your teeth.

I got 83 fucking kills. Eighty-Three. Out of 150 enemies. I killed over half their forces by myself and we still only just won with like 20 units remaining

Playing as the Empire on Endor is always BS

there's always one enemy holdout at the end, and the Ewoks keep fucking with me

Why are there so many topics about this old ass game? Did it get a remaster?

I put a lot of hours into mos eisley hero mode running around as Maul cutting people to pieces.

Yeah, it got a rerelease a few days ago. Singleplayer is good but multiplayer is a wreck right now

It just got a Classic Collection re-release that bundles both of the original games

Yes

it's uhhh not a great port to say the least
it runs fine on my Switch, but I haven't tried online yet (didn't get on PC, did not see the point since I already own the originals there)

I just finished up the first one and it didn't matter how many kills you had if you don't capture CPs on some of the missions. And that's not necessary easy to do. At least on hard.

I was playing on galaxy conquest on Naboo with the medic/shotgun class and I dropped a 112 kills by campjng? just for the single last enemy to kill me The hard carry for nothing, I was in shock

Some stages with some factions require you to turn into a god of death to win. I can't remember them off the top of my head but you really do have to become a one man army.

The game runs fine on Singleplayer and works great on Steam Deck. The only problem for singleplayer is that all the BF2 missions are missing their ending cutscenes for every mission. Also the game takes up 35gigs (and requires 70 gigs open before it can install)

Multiplayer is rough. They launched with only 3 servers for 9000 people lol.They added more servers now but they all have a lot of latency so it's not fun playing online right now >_> I hope they fix it soon.

The positives of the port are the Xbox exclusive DLC is FINALLY available to everyone, added achievements, and all the textures are up-res'd. There is 2 player splitscreen too

Missing cutscenes is insane, how and why is that a thing

70 gigs for a PS2 game?

Honestly, Aspyr has been pretty great in the past, their Linux port of Civilization V was the gold standard

here's to hoping this collection gets fixed (the games are good enough that this is the 3rd time I've bought it >_>)

I have no clue why. It seems like they added a bunch of movie clips in the mission briefings too which I dont remember

for 2 PS2 games!

In the 1 minute it took me to move from one CP to the next and capture it we went from a 4-2 CP lead to only having the one CP i took.

Make it make sense lmao

it isn't like I wasn't encountering enemies and they all happened to be out in force at every other CP. I killed more than a dozen taking the one CP. >_>

That has definitely happened to me before lol

Everything I've read and seen says you should just buy the original release on Steam and throw a mod on it to have it support modern resolutions. It's cheaper to do that and it plays way better.

Like 70% of my Naboo matches turned into me being the only one left with like 70 enemies left and having to wait in that circular area for them to start coming in so I could take them out lol.
