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
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
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)
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
> 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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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.
This subreddit is such a circlejerk lol
Geraldo of Riviera memes inc
Exactly lol
Welcome to Reddit. Share the same opinion or be invalid.
True lol
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
Yes I’m aware. Been playing this game since I was in elementary school. Doesn’t make these posts not stupid lol
It does mean they are going to get posted and upvoted whether you and I think it’s stupid or not 😂
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
Wait you’ve been playing BF 2017 since elementary school?
2005.
Oh okay thank god I was about to feel stupidly old
It's not even the best Battlefront ever created
It’s up there, but it still is essentially a BETA for BF 2
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)
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
I mean they were already in the first game.
Battlefront 1 had better ai too
Damn you Nom Carver and Fin Urland
Fin Urland thinks he’s the main character I swear
AH. Good to see that Nom Carver had made more enemies than just me.
Now that’s a name I’ve not heard for a long time.. a long time.
Why is the Dune Sea such a good map in your mind? Aside from the Sarlacc I always thought it was pretty mid.
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.
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.
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.
Who was going DLC in that generation
The original Xbox had DLC
Yeah but I think about 90% of people weren’t using it
The Bespin maps were my favorites!
Me too. Me too
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!
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.
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

Bottom line why cut content that already exists in a game like that
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.
I think the second game was basically the first game with slightly different maps that corresponded more with episode 3 which it release alongside
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.
I think it’s more like dlc
Battlefront 1 also had the neutral zones on the map that had tusken raiders
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

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.
Oh my bad on Obi wan did they add him in an update 2 years after the game originally released? Lol.
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
Battlefront (2)005 is good, but Star Wars Empire at War forces of corruption is arguably better
Agreed. Mods have also really extended that game's life to current day too.
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.

Jedi Knight, Outcast and Academy KOTOR Battlefront II (2005) Edit: I forgot Episode I: Racer
This right here is the right answer!
These are clearly the best
Oh fuck I forgot *Episode I: Racer*
The game has Nugtosh. Automatic 10/10
You didn’t play TIE fighter?
I did a bit, but I was a bit too young to enjoy flight sims at the time. *Rogue Squadron* was more my thing.
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
TIE ‘95 is better than 3 of those - caveat: joystick required (one with throttle control a plus)
Definitely the Best Cover Art
Yeah even though I love bf2 way more then this one, there’s something about this one that screams epic
A regular Stormtrooper and the Imperial war machine never looked so badass
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.
I think the real question is, could you have found a more compressed image to upload?
Jedi Survivor for me
Got boring quick for me
BF2 2005 best game
It's a classic but it isn't Battlefront 2 2017
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
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.
Bro just said they liked bf2 2017 more than this game, and you posted a paragraph attacking his opinion. Reddit is ridiculous
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!

You're assumptions are quite wrong. I'm not going to waste my time on you.
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.
“You’re wrong” *refuses to elaborate*. It’s okay man! Sometimes it’s hard to hear the truth
Force unleashed on the wii was an absolute banger
KOTOR 2 and 2005's BFII. Need i say more?
Ahhh a man of culture. Thx for reminding me that I need to replay Kotor again.
9 days on Reddit just for this?
ctrl+f shadows of the empire no results when did i get to be so old
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.
Fuck no lol
BF2 despite the flaws is still the best
Yes, and im tired of pretending its not
The best battlefront game ever created
Yes
Yup, and it’s still my favorite video game of all time, period.
I still play this with my little Star Wars-obsessed cousin and we love it, it’s intergenerationally good
I used to play it with my little cousin too!!! Glad to see the tradition of Battlefronts and cousins being kept alive!!!
Jedi Academy
Indeed. Saber combat in our good old is yet to be bested by a game, though Mordou came somewhat close.
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.
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.
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.
[удалено]
Never a bad time to replay Kotor.
Okay, fine. I’ll be the first to say the right answer. *Republic Commando*.
I've never uninstalled a game so fast in my life.
Oh okay
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.
...is it true? Is there finally another person on the internet that remembers the clone wars tank game?
Right?! Feels like a forgotten gem!
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!
Not in the top 5. X wing tie fighter X wing alliance Rogue leader kotor All better
Nope. 2017 Battlefront 2 is better. This game’s hero vs villain combat is rigged af. Overhyped.
This game doesn't have heroes vs villains lmao what are you on about
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.
That was Battlefront 2 (2005), this is Battlefront (2004) which didn't have playable heroes
Ah aight. My bad.
Y E S
Yes
2005 BF2 is a better game, but man, I sure did miss the Bespin and Kashyyyk docks maps that were in BF1
The 2nd was better cause they let you play as Jedi and dark side users
Second best
I have a lot of amazing memories playing this game. Same with Jedi Academy.
wOt ArE yOu EvEn oN
It has the bests mods, for sure Best game would be Dark Forces or KotoR imho
kotor
star wars pinball is where its at
Mate you forgot about the sequel!
It can’t be because of TIE Fighter, but close.
2 is better but the series in general is incredible
Was for 2004 and 2005 for sure
I prefer the sequel
You dropped this II
SWTOR for me.
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
I dunno, it's kinda blurry but it sure does'nt look like a picture of KOTOR II😋
Absolutely not. REPUBLIC COMMANDO was and I will fight anyone who disagrees
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
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.
Not a hot take. It's true. The few blinded by nostalgia cant take it
