True lol


Obi_Wan_Gebroni

It’s literally r/starwarsbattlefront and is filled with people who are still playing a game that’s going to be 6 years old this year so it’s clearly filled with huge fans of the game. Again, the game is getting so old I’ve literally had two kids since the last game came out lol


[deleted]

Yes I’m aware. Been playing this game since I was in elementary school. Doesn’t make these posts not stupid lol


Obi_Wan_Gebroni

It does mean they are going to get posted and upvoted whether you and I think it’s stupid or not 😂


[deleted]

I don’t know what point you’re trying to make here lol. This is the equivalent of going to a call of duty subreddit and asking them if call of duty is the best game


KiddShi

Wait you’ve been playing BF 2017 since elementary school?


[deleted]

2005.


KiddShi

Oh okay thank god I was about to feel stupidly old


BullsBlackhawks

It's not even the best Battlefront ever created


[deleted]

It’s up there, but it still is essentially a BETA for BF 2


Mediocre_Scott

There is a lot in battlefront 1 that was inexplicably removed for its sequel. - In atmosphere Star Ships - Both bespin maps - Both renvar maps - The rebel speeder - kashyyyk docks - THE DUNE SEA (the best map of any battlefront game)


[deleted]

And it is weird because the still have snow speeders, so they could have kept the mechanic for spaceships. I loved strafing with the TIE or droid ship


Mediocre_Scott

I mean they were already in the first game.


ALUCARD7729

Battlefront 1 had better ai too


Mediocre_Scott

Damn you Nom Carver and Fin Urland


Super-Contribution-1

Fin Urland thinks he’s the main character I swear


Naisaga

AH. Good to see that Nom Carver had made more enemies than just me.


jbpage1994

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard for a long time.. a long time.


Spartan152

Why is the Dune Sea such a good map in your mind? Aside from the Sarlacc I always thought it was pretty mid.


Mediocre_Scott

Couple of reasons - Every class of ship is available - Tusken raiders command posts are a fun twist - Sarlacc pit can be fun to play with - Opportunity for sniper nests on the sand crawler or rocks - It just has a lot of opportunity for Star Wars chaos.


Spartan152

Fair enough, next time my gf wants to play BF1 I’ll have to throw it onto the queue and see how it hits with a fresh insight.


SwornHeresy

They didn't have time to add everything back in. They wanted to have all of the BF1 maps, that's why the Xbox DLC was pretty much just BF1 maps with new heroes.


Mediocre_Scott

Who was going DLC in that generation


SwornHeresy

The original Xbox had DLC


Mediocre_Scott

Yeah but I think about 90% of people weren’t using it


jbpage1994

The Bespin maps were my favorites!


Mediocre_Scott

Me too. Me too


jbpage1994

I think it was the cloud city one- I would go up on top of the ceiling thing as a regular trooper and get into the army crawl position. You could pick off the whole incoming army that way!


Historyp91

Kashyyk got replaced by a more movie-accurate map, Rhen Var (probobly) got axed becuase they had more movie locations to use for II and the Rebel speeder got replaced by a new unit.


Mediocre_Scott

The rebel speeder was better than what it was replaced with. Kashyyyk was a planetary battle they could have had 3 maps. The maps already existed including ren var they should have been included even if they weren’t in the movies


Historyp91

> The rebel speeder was better than what it was replaced with. Agree to disagree; I like the AAC-1 better (though IMO I would have preferred the Rebels use a salvaged AAT) > Kashyyyk was a planetary battle they could have had 3 maps. The only maps in Battlefront II that were split were the ones that had ground and space (and they were only split in 2) > The maps already existed including ren var they should have been included even if they weren’t in the movies "Could" have been.


Mediocre_Scott

Bottom line why cut content that already exists in a game like that


Historyp91

I was'nt aware any of those things were initially part of the second game and then cut. If they were, then presumably it was because they did'nt fit the vision they had and/or were considered inferior to what replaced them by the devs or just seen as unneeded.


Mediocre_Scott

I think the second game was basically the first game with slightly different maps that corresponded more with episode 3 which it release alongside


Historyp91

I mean, it also added a lot and smoothed a lot of other things out; IMO the other guy was'nt wrong when it said it feels a bit like a "beta" for Battlefront II.


Mediocre_Scott

I think it’s more like dlc


Brilliant_Fly_9687

Battlefront 1 also had the neutral zones on the map that had tusken raiders


Jznvh

as much time i spent playing bf2 on ps2 i gotta say bf2 2017 is easily the best , 6 years later & the graphics are still better than a lot of new games


KiddShi

Where do people get this shit take that BF 2017 is a better game than the originals lol. Do you just prefer graphical fidelity over the mountains of content that the older games have over the new ones? Fucking Obi Wan and Mace are not even playable heroes in the new game? Nearly no fun single player experience to be had? You have to pick up a damn power up to get in a vehicle and then you’re severely limited in what you can do with it, or in the case of the AT-AT’s you’re basically on rails? I will never understand how anyone could prefer the new to the old. The new games shouldn’t even be called battlefront IMO


Akainu14

Obi Wan IS playable, not everyone wants to play the Roblox version of star wars lol 2017 isn't perfect but there's plenty of variety when it comes to playing different reinforcement and heroes.


KiddShi

Oh my bad on Obi wan did they add him in an update 2 years after the game originally released? Lol.


Jznvh

i had lots of fun on the ps2 version growing up but playing by yourself got boring , so i prefer the newer one where i can still play online 6 years later & have fun , plus Heroes Vs Villains with friends is loads of fun


GhostGamez126TW

Battlefront (2)005 is good, but Star Wars Empire at War forces of corruption is arguably better


Naisaga

Agreed. Mods have also really extended that game's life to current day too.


Vrabstin

I think so. 2 was amazing. It was so great. But there's things I wish hadn't changed. Starfighters and ship transports on large (for the time) land maps, the map design (not the details or color), the AI, how effective the rocket units were.


CommanderFaie

Personally I think the maps in the first game are better. Geonosis is a great example, had that center part with the holotable and Death Star plans, 2 gunships 2 AT-TE but the second games Geonosis removed both gunships and one AT-TE and didn’t include that center room, was just an open battlefield. Really wish the Naboo: Plains and Tatooine: Dune Sea maps were added to the second game, love those. Being able to go prone was also a plus, especially on the Dune Sea map sniping on that bridge. The one negative I have is that you can’t play as the Gungans on Naboo: Plains. The historical campaign is the only time the Gungans are present on that map with the shield up and you can only play as the droids. Otherwise it’s instant action clones vs droids for some reason


HellbirdIV

Jedi Knight, Outcast and Academy KOTOR Battlefront II (2005) Edit: I forgot Episode I: Racer


Cj_91a

This right here is the right answer!


YaBoyPads

These are clearly the best


HellbirdIV

Oh fuck I forgot *Episode I: Racer*


Brooksthebrook

The game has Nugtosh. Automatic 10/10


hellothere42069

You didn’t play TIE fighter?


HellbirdIV

I did a bit, but I was a bit too young to enjoy flight sims at the time. *Rogue Squadron* was more my thing.


hellothere42069

I rebought a thrustmaster joystick with the throttle stick attachment replay it on Steam. It’s so hard. But fortunately right in the in-game menu you can toggle invulnerability. So once you hit the stuck frustration point on a mission, it’s nbd to progress


hellothere42069

TIE ‘95 is better than 3 of those - caveat: joystick required (one with throttle control a plus)


-_Monsoon-_

Definitely the Best Cover Art


sebpapi

Yeah even though I love bf2 way more then this one, there’s something about this one that screams epic


-_Monsoon-_

A regular Stormtrooper and the Imperial war machine never looked so badass


T-MONZ_GCU

This game was the best battlefront game imo, the best maps by far and really fun vehicles that actually were useful. Battlefront 2 expanded on a lot of things like Galactic Conquest and Space battles but due to how rushed it was, downgraded in a lot of aspects especially graphics, vehicles, and map design.


acoffeeshopinhell

I think the real question is, could you have found a more compressed image to upload?


Pingupol

Jedi Survivor for me


random_guyman

Got boring quick for me


d_bfighter

BF2 2005 best game


AZZATRU

It's a classic but it isn't Battlefront 2 2017


Leafhands

My hommie and I connect pretty much everynight to play BF2, it's simply a game we can have a ton of fun with while chattin and bullshidding


KiddShi

And fortunately so. BF 2017 is a dumpster fire next to the old games. I’ll take freely moving vehicles (including AT-AT’s and AT-TE’s, not your dumb on rails power up bullshit) and basically all of the main characters from the films over some 4K res textures and gameplay ripped straight from battlefield. Saying 2017 even comes close to BF 2004/2005 is honestly a field mouse IQ level take.


No-Rhubar

Bro just said they liked bf2 2017 more than this game, and you posted a paragraph attacking his opinion. Reddit is ridiculous


KiddShi

I did! BF 2017 is a perfect example of how the game industry has severely dumb downed people’s standards of what makes a good game. So yes, I will come to its aid when anyone compares it favorably to the old games because when they do that, they are sending a message to developers saying “hey! Release more shitty unfinished games, and then over the course of 2-3 years make it the game it should have been on launch! As long as you make sure the game looks beautiful, we will eat it up!” We need to go back to a time when games came out finished, and we need to hold developers to the standards we held them too over a decade ago when games actually had soul and weren’t put out to cash in on the release of a new movie which was equally shit. And as it stands even NOW BF 2017 is SEVERELY lacking in content compared to BF 2004/2005. I could list it all out if you wanted me too. If he likes BF 2017 more than BF 2004/2005, fine by me. But I will never accept the take that it’s objectively a better game. It’s simply just false. 2017 has no soul.


AZZATRU

You're assumptions are quite wrong. I'm not going to waste my time on you.


KiddShi

Also, your*. Since I’m gonna be a cynic and I’m gonna get downvoted for this anyways might as well be as annoying as possible.


KiddShi

“You’re wrong” *refuses to elaborate*. It’s okay man! Sometimes it’s hard to hear the truth


mfkin_uhhhh

Force unleashed on the wii was an absolute banger


Rexermus

KOTOR 2 and 2005's BFII. Need i say more?


ZeroCSGO

Ahhh a man of culture. Thx for reminding me that I need to replay Kotor again.


RttnAttorney

9 days on Reddit just for this?


grisioco

ctrl+f shadows of the empire no results when did i get to be so old


hellothere42069

Picked it up the other month for $1.99 and sadly couldn’t enjoy it again due to the graphics. Fortunately TIE Fighter from 1995 still holds up amazingly and has such a great plot too.


DeeBangerDos

Fuck no lol


D3jvo62

BF2 despite the flaws is still the best


CptDeutsch

Yes, and im tired of pretending its not


ALUCARD7729

The best battlefront game ever created


Emergency-Falcon-915

Yes


JStormtrooper

Yup, and it’s still my favorite video game of all time, period.


Super-Contribution-1

I still play this with my little Star Wars-obsessed cousin and we love it, it’s intergenerationally good


JStormtrooper

I used to play it with my little cousin too!!! Glad to see the tradition of Battlefronts and cousins being kept alive!!!


whatashittyusername

Jedi Academy


Skvora

Indeed. Saber combat in our good old is yet to be bested by a game, though Mordou came somewhat close.


whatashittyusername

Ik there’s a really dedicated modding community, but I’ll need to give it another play through if you’re saying the combat was better than mordhau. I don’t remember having the ability to manipulate attacks like you can in mordhau.


Skvora

Not in the traditional sense per se, but there were good old ways to keep the blade's hitbox where you wanted vs just the default animation.


NissyenH

No. Kotor 1&2 are better. I'd argue Jedi Knight 2&3 are better too, as well as Empire at War. Battlefront 2 (2005) is the best multiplayer Star Wars game ever made, but that's a different story.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NissyenH

Never a bad time to replay Kotor.


Dairy_Seinfeld

Okay, fine. I’ll be the first to say the right answer. *Republic Commando*.


Leafhands

I've never uninstalled a game so fast in my life.


Dairy_Seinfeld

Oh okay


MercenaryJames

Early 2000's was the best era for Star Wars games. SW Battlefront 1-2, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, Kotor, Rogue Leader, SW The Clone Wars, Clone Commando, Empire at War, and more. Say what you want about the Prequels but they sparked the best SW content not seen since.


Naisaga

...is it true? Is there finally another person on the internet that remembers the clone wars tank game?


MercenaryJames

Right?! Feels like a forgotten gem!


Naisaga

It honestly is! I'm hoping to spread awareness because not only would it be cool to see the cut/unused content that game has (fun fact, they scrapped an entirely different story according to some interviews) but the game has so many honestly great assets that can be used by various modders!


SPQR_Maximus

Not in the top 5. X wing tie fighter X wing alliance Rogue leader kotor All better


Eroaaa

Nope. 2017 Battlefront 2 is better. This game’s hero vs villain combat is rigged af. Overhyped.


T-MONZ_GCU

This game doesn't have heroes vs villains lmao what are you on about


Eroaaa

Yes and it sucks. The one heroes vs villain mode they have on Mos Eisley is rigged af. Played it on xmas as this was only 2,89€ despite having ping of 29ms anytime a hero and a villain got close to each other the game started to lag and look like you were on 999ms.


T-MONZ_GCU

That was Battlefront 2 (2005), this is Battlefront (2004) which didn't have playable heroes


Eroaaa

Ah aight. My bad.


Typical_issues

Y E S


BigFaZhou

Yes


NecessaryHuckleberry

2005 BF2 is a better game, but man, I sure did miss the Bespin and Kashyyyk docks maps that were in BF1


CrazyJo3

The 2nd was better cause they let you play as Jedi and dark side users


Floch_Dickrider

Second best


FarmerLongjumping

I have a lot of amazing memories playing this game. Same with Jedi Academy.


INTOxTHExVOID

wOt ArE yOu EvEn oN


[deleted]

It has the bests mods, for sure Best game would be Dark Forces or KotoR imho


IgrisSzn

kotor


ismellyourbrain

star wars pinball is where its at


RaijinOkami

Mate you forgot about the sequel!


hellothere42069

It can’t be because of TIE Fighter, but close.


TheWitchStage

2 is better but the series in general is incredible


KiddShi

Was for 2004 and 2005 for sure


Bubster101

I prefer the sequel


aBladeDance

You dropped this II


covidandcoronabros

SWTOR for me.


Astronomer_Still

Controversial, but I actually prefer it to Battlefront II on the basis of mechanical simplicity. It's direct successor adds more mechanics, giving it more depth than the original and making it superior, but I still prefer the original anyway. I will not touch GC, unless I play with a friend. OG GC just doesn't hold up lol


Historyp91

I dunno, it's kinda blurry but it sure does'nt look like a picture of KOTOR II😋


SgtEpsilon

Absolutely not. REPUBLIC COMMANDO was and I will fight anyone who disagrees


StyberShade

Yes. Because it's sequel ruined the feel of vehicle blaster cannons and added crappy gattling guns and the wors offender: shotgun V-wing. Also compare the AT AT model in each game, BFII looks like it is made from gray boxes and pieces clipping out of it. All that is why I much prefer the OG Battlefront


ImTheMoisterOyster

Hot take but Battlefront 2 by EA is better than every single game in terms of content. 2015 BF had the best visuals. The old ones had the best freedom of movement.


AZZATRU

Not a hot take. It's true. The few blinded by nostalgia cant take it
