Game casually peaks at 150k+ players despite getting no updates in half a decade

game casually peaks at 150k+ players despite getting no updates in half a decade

And it's still inferior to the original two battlefronts.

I thought people abandoned this game because of rampart hackers

will there mbe battlefron 3?

The Steam peak past 24 hours is 10,000???

This game survived

pay2win

lootbox

gambling

blocked in a couple of countries

microtransactions

Sequel era debuff

Kathleen Kennedy

How do they do it?

Nothing organic feels right with this.

A month ago everyone was trashing it as hackers had competely blocked anyone from playing multiplayer. Im supposed to just believe it was fixed just like that and now it has a peak count of 150k?
Wheres the peak numbers coming from because steam is only saying 10,000 are playing and no other platform reports player numbers. You really expect me to believe 140,000 are playing on EA launcher? Fuck off.

The effects of making a game with great graphics, amazing optimization, fun gameplay, and fan service without pandering.
If they never included the star card/loot box bullshit in the first place this game would have been as beloved as Battlefield 3, and if they included dynamic space/in-ship combat battles it would have been as loved as the original. It's a great game, and gutting the bullshit for the most part made it playable and even enjoyable.
I have no idea where the player boost came from but I've been enjoying the game not being full of 1000+ hour niggers and instead just being a huge battlefield of people shooting each other and just playing normally. I will enjoy it as long as I can.

i thought hackers made the game permanently unplayable?

You really expect me to believe 140,000 are playing on EA launcher?

I mean that's where I have it. I'm not buying it again to open it in a different application.

let it go lil bro

Damn really? I got it free on Epic at some point but I never installed it because I thought it was dead. I might give it a try.

the game has been given away multiple times for free on epic/origin. that's where im playing it

pretty sure its including console

Play the game

Forgot I didn;t really play it much and only got to Lv10

Pick assault

Land all my shots a few headshots

They're able to turn around 360 2 shot me with a pistol after a bsarrage of an assault rifle

Oh right I remember why I hated this game.

level has no effect on the strength of your weapon, you literally just suck.

Nigger I am hitting all my shots.
My accuracy last game was 70% on a fucking heavy with the E5. Fuck off with this bullshit.

yeah i played it a little last year but the hackers made it borderline unplayable. once my internet's fixed i'll give it another go
i'm sure the fucking jedi autists are having a field day on the noobs

I've said it once.
I've said it two times.
I've said it thrice.
Star Wars Battlefront II is better than the heckin original Battlefronts. It is the single greatest thing that Disney has ever created post-Star Wars merger.

Can someone tell me why my performance on PC is so terrible? I redownloaded the game for the first time in ages and the game is running like complete ass no matter what settings I use. I remember running this game perfectly at 4k on a 1080 Ti, now I'm on a 3080 Ti.

Pretty sure I just encountered a hacker on PC.

When I aimed at them their healthbar was at like 5% really low.
I shoot and just getting hitmarkers.
They turn around, one shot me with a pistol, their death healthbar was full.
I guess this game might be better on a console. Im sure BF2 goes for cheap there anyways.

Just play co-op for a few hours, you'll grind dozens of levels on your class and heroes of choice.

If they had kept updating the game instead of it getting abandoned for the sake of 2042, that would be objectively true. They had just hit a really good stride toward the end.

Andor

Steam says 6k players in game

Legitimately insane we went from the era of the Prequels where they were giving everything under the Sun a game to current year where barely anything gets games

Season 1 was OK
Season 2 was ass

Majority of people have it on EA's launcher.

proofs?

The game was already dead when it was quietly released on Steam.

interested in the new BF2

missed the Ebin freebies

The game can't be superior than the OG BF1 if there are no crawl key and vehicles don't spawn on maps

dude it got given away (and sold for cheap) on epic and EA a bunch of times, i've got it on both epic and Origin
steamcharts (while somewhat reliable) aren't the fucking end-all-be-all when it comes to games, just because you aren't capable of critical speculative thinking doesn't mean the rest of us aren't

realistically there's probably like 10-15
k across all launchers

Who the fuck still plays with Origin?

Nobody since Origin was phased out years ago. Its EA Desktop now.

They basically have. The vast majority of matches I've gotten into are blatantly hacked servers, usually Theed and Hoth. They make the objectives invincible/disappear and then teleport every enemy player simultaneously to them to farm thousands of kills as a hero character. Or just fly around in a fighter with invincibility hacks on so they can run you over and strafe spawns nonstop. Just because you can get into the servers and play online doesn't you should bother at this point, it's fucked and nowhere near as fun as it once was.

I haven't noticed any issues in co-op or supremacy, GA matches are always fucked though.

The gunplay in this game was always horrible, and has been nerfed even further into the ground over the years on top of having bad quality servers with major rubber banding and hit detection issues. The devs really did a lot of bad to this game that no one ever talks about. They really fucking ruined Heroes vs Villains mode and Lightsaber combat too.

I like this game but refuse to play it because most of the time i get put into NA lobby with high ping. I rarely get EU ping. Probably most people playing it are NA faggs

Andor is soulless dogshit. Not Star Wars at all, it has absolutely no resemblance to it in aesthetic, tone, or style. The people behind it clearly hate Star Wars and just wanted to make leftist propaganda about overthrowing Donald Trump. A truly cancerous show that has further corrupted, subverted, and dragged Star Wars through the mud by pandering to dumb reddit manchildren that think HBO shoes full of F bombs and needless sex scenes are "mature writing". I hate every single NPC troglodyte that praises that pile of garbage.

I guess I'll try out Supremacy today. I tried Galactic Assault for a few hours yesterday and it was nothing but cheaters everywhere with 300+ kills and bugged out objectives.

Anyone have experience with EA App on linux? Id prefer to buy a 10 dollar EA App key than a 40 dollar steam key.
Im eventually buying the game regardless for Battlefront+
Original Battlefront 2 is worse than Original Battlefront 1 with its ugly clutered hud and bad levels.

but muh jedi

The worst part of the game, play Jedi Knight(literally any of them theyre all great)

its called bullshiting on the interwebz

>Sequel era debuff

It was more of a buff because it includes both prequels and original trilogy
Literally no one plays the sequel modes even now, you genuinely can't even find a single match

Movie battles 2

Its either cheaters or faggot stacking in one team and rolling some new players. The chances you get into an actual equally matched fun game are even lower than this happening in a team based blizzard game and bear in mind they still use slightly improved mm system from dota 1 days.

You're right that EA's Battlefront games are easily better than the originals (thanks to the shitty classic collection a year or two ago for finally shutting down the nostalgia over those). But the Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor games are great too. None of Disney's movies, shows, books, or comics have been any good though and none of it will ever be canon.

I dont hate the Jedi games but Dark Forces/Jedi Knight are heaps better, and thats not nostalgia talking, I played them for the first time a year ago

hero characters

unironically misses the point of battlefront
Only the very first game by Pandemic had it right.

First Order is very popular for the co-op mode, those matches always load up instantly for me while every other faction takes minute or two most of the time. Or never starts at all in the case of the Resistance.

3243223e.png - 768x1024, 1.01M

survived

abandoned and no sequel

every now and then some people get on and play when they all hear the game they got for free is "alive" again

in a week they're all gone

I'm actually kinda spooked this happened.

About a month ago I was at the retro store around here. Most of these places are mad shit but this ones a cool dude, also sells guns (crazy combo). And I saw BattlEAfront2 for $7 and thought "hey you know what... maybe I will".

And like everyone else had the exact same fucking thought.

That is so fucking bizzare.

I wish they would have ended development, with adding Ahsoka for the clone wars push they did. and at least a Mandalorian season 1 character . so much wasted potential.

I still love how the jedi devs completely ignored that lesbos official book set after the first game.

This, jedi ruined battlefront 2(OG). Bf1 had them show up every so often and it was like a mini boss battle, 2 is just you and the homies getting wiped every couple of minutes +nade spam

Everyone who still plays this game is a cuck. Imagine playing a shooter where you have to grind to make your bullets stronger than paintballs.

This makes me consider installing it since I got it for free from Epic but I also assume it's 100+ gigs big and I don't really feel like making space to play by myself in a multiplayer game

I love the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series as well. In fact Dark Forces 1 was always better than Doom imo, and Jedi Outcast is in my top three favorite games of all time. But I do think Fallen Order and Survivor are great and should be counted among the very best Star Wars games.

Cal Kestis is a better character than Kyle Katarn.

t. fag that knows nothing about the game

Take your meds and stop sperging out over everything

The very first battlefront is the best game by a large margin. The gunplay is so satisfying and the focus is on normal soldiers shooting each other. 2s gunplay felt arcadey and the special units destroyed the cohesion of a team of soldiers working together with just guns and nades and the occasional special weapon.

The gunplay in this game just sucks, enemies are too spongy and the netcode is bad. It has very little to do with grinding, unlocking other guns doesn't change that shooting just never felt right in this game to begin with. EA's first Battlefront had much, much better feeling gunplay.

Nigger I am hitting all my shots.

My accuracy last game was 70% on a fucking heavy with the E5. Fuck off with this bullshit.

hit your shots kid.

pellet gun cuck is mad because i dont feel like grinding shit gameplay to make a gun that can kill someone

I want to disagree but Kyle is weirdly inconsistent in the series.
DF1 hes just a merc who PFUCKING HATES THE EMPIRE
DF2 hes a merc smuggler who has da force and doesnt really give a shit about the jedi, only uses his power as a means to an end
Outcast hes kind of the same but also hes allowed to get super fucking angry without falling at all to the dark side and by the very end hes a jedi cultist
Academy hes a cereal mascot who is too nice and too flavorless
So yeah Ill give Cal his credit but I still like DF2 Kyle

tfw found out theres a mod pack that adds in a shitload of new weapons, units and heroes

youtube.com/watch?v=qYOkyZO3eMU

Why was I not told of this?

bfplus.png - 1920x1080, 2.05M

Pls respond

How is the playerbase for the first one though? Because it had better maps, better shooting, and wasn't ruined as much by the heroes since you had a time limit on them. I'd rather play that.

No idea, but the PC version crashes for me constantly now and it never used to do that. I couldn't find anything online to explain or fix it either.

Assuming the ratios are similar for BF2, there are maybe ~1.5k people playing the original EAfront across all platforms.

32432432.png - 1142x277, 212.09K

That's incredibly depressing. It was the better game in many ways. The Hoth and Endor maps were so much better. Guess I'll play against bots.

I enjoyed Blast in BF1 quite a lot, but the main modes never played well for me.

DUDE OF COURSE YOU CANT KILL ANYONE WITH THE HEAVY MACHINE GUN VS THEIR PISTOL YOU DONT HAVE THE GRINDYFUCK LEVEL 10 LASER STRENGTH CARD OR THE VADERTONGUESMYASSHOLE IMPROVED RATE OF FIRE CARD YOU CANT JUST EXPECT A BASE MG TO DO ANYTHING TO THAT GUY HE HAS 5 LEVEL 20 CARDS EQUIPPED

It don't really be like that, but ok.

None of the Star Cards in BF2 improve weapon damage

Steamies are so retarded

you forgot about the sloppa fallen orders and outlaws

go back to Anon Babble pedodisney shill

Star Wars used to be good. People used to like it. Neither are true anymore and that's been the case for a decade now. The enduring popularity of Star Wars was owed in great deal to how good the expanded universe books and comics were. Disney not only erased all of that, but the books and comics they have made have ALL been horrendous garbage written by feminists pushing LGBTQ agendas and I am not exaggerating. We did not know how good we had it 20 years ago.

if it's ever made, Battlefront 3 should add a seamless transition between space battle and ground battle like the canceled BF3.

star wars used to be good

Star Wars even on its worst day was still ICONIC. There was some arcane wizardry at work every film had at least one lifetime moment in it. The sequel trilogy has none of that.
1: maul fight/pod race
2: dook fight/padme tied up
3: mustafar/grievous
4: death star
5: I am your father/hoth
6: darth vader/emperor fight/teddy bear picnic
The sequel trilogies most pronounced scenes are a scooby doo hallway chase with a throwaway monster and luke dodging a lightsaber matrix style....

Battlefront 3, and the Battlefield series, desperately need to go back to having vehicles spawn on the map rather than needing to spawn as a vehicle from the menu and not being able to get out of it.

that's the power that e-celebs have over zoomers

I like and hate the idea that my on the ground match will end because the death star got blown up or some shit so far beyond my control.

not being able to get out of it.

you can get out of the ground vehicles in BF2, but yeah, it should be like in the ogBF games

Playing it rn and it feels busted as fuck. I'm getting annihilated by people with full card stacks and I have none.

How is the singleplayer?

Protect the shield generator next time.

I enjoyed the campaign, personally. And it has a variety of bot match modes that are pretty good too.

Yeah those coop matches are genuinely fun

My heart goes out to the brave men and women who spend the entire match trudging an ATAT toward the shield generator
You are meant to be 1 of millions of disposable troops, stop worrying about dying so much and lubricate the war machine

So should I bother with this on PC due to hackers or nah?
It's on game pass

join lobby

someone with all maxxed out starcards demolishes your team in the first 2 minutes

redeploys as a MAX rank op hero unit (conveniently, Anakin because he's busted)

proceeds to never die during the whole match

Really wished space combat had more and better maps, I enjoy starfighter combat but the only enjoyable era is the clones because the maps aren't god awful.

My little brother made me install it again and it's meh, the original is better simply because of the soul. Why is it popular again all of a sudden, did they deal with the cheaters?

The stars aligning with May the 4th, a new series airing, and a Fortnite Star Wars event making people want an actual Star Wars shooter game to play

Every couple of years people remember what Star Wars was supposed to be and get hooked on the iconography.

4th of May

they gave it away for free for the second time

Andor S2 was decent

Fortnite is having a star wars event with AI Vader saying Nigger

Truly a mystery

Most of the time, the people who get the hero and never die are cheating. Was always the case, this game has sadly always been rampant with cheaters because all the cheats that already existed for Battlefield also worked in this day one.

Andor S2 was decent

Astroturfed shill campaign because of Andor, a garbage show being glazed by TDS trannies.

They need to fuckin give the whole IP to Sam Witwer, hes the only nigger who cares enough to be autistic about it. Dave Filoni the gay jew retard was supposed to course correct but hes too much of a fanfic mongoloid to give star wars what it needs.

If you just forced Dave Filoni at gunpoint to kill off all of his Clone Wars and Rebels characters, I think he would be okay going forward.

More like someone needs to give it back to George Lucas and beg him to fix everything Kathleen and Filoni have done.

Sure, but lets be realistic, George is so burned he probably wouldnt touch it after Disney poopoo'd his scripts.
Nigga was willing to make star wars and give Disney all the profit just for Disney to go "Nah, needs more lesbians and mixed race couples"

He still wouldn't. Filoni truly sucks and isn't given the amount of hate he genuinely deserves. He's too much of a retarded furfag to stop pushing his wolf fetish, too obsessed with Ahsoka, Sabine and Rex to ever stop forcing them into everything, and too much of a feminist beta to stop pushing politics. His tranny defense force doesn't want people to know that he was heavily involved in working on the sequel trilogy and many of its ideas and handling of Rey were things he wanted and was on board with. There was always this narrative that he stands opposed to Kathleen Kennedy but he really agrees with her on everything.

They added the EA anticheat, it actually bans people. Linux troons are mad because it doesn't run on their server OS but who cares?

Game is actually fun.

based mods.png - 1695x952, 2.69M

This, I hate spawning directly into a vehicle and it just makes it feel bad.

He cosigned the obi wan show so I doubt it

give baby Leia away to keep her safe

like 5 years later implicate yourself in her life and get talked down to by boss ass bitches

but anakin shows up once or twice so its good!

I wasted so much time going for the platinum trophy, got it. Not sure why I did it.
The jedi battles was funny. They included some kind of perfect block mechanic where you would reflect some damage back at people if you blocked an attack at the last moment and so what would happen is you would fight some annoying sperg that would pick Darth Maul, they'd rush you down, and you could just block them to death and they would have no clue what's happening.

muh starcards

They don't matter
And if your team can't counter an enemy hero it's a skill issue

retardjeet be correct about one singular thing challenge(IMPOSSIBLE)

it's happening

1725902352.jpg - 1192x1848, 700.42K

Got the game on ps5 and series x. Feels way better playing it on Xbox for some reason. Maybe the controller? Not sure. I also have battlefield 1 from 2015 and it has active lobbies too. Somehow battlefield 1 even looks better than battlefield 2

Why are americans so obsessed with star wars?

it returned to form, I'm having a blast

The reality is that Lucas sold to Disney because he thought it was a trustworthy company that would protect the purity and sanctity of the franchise. They used to be a company that prioritized good storytelling and keeping everything kid and family friendly. Instead, they immediately sunk their own reputation in order to push leftist propaganda, groom children, pander to China, and drag their beloved characters through the mud to spite good morals and values. They have fallen so far, and tainted this franchise so deeply, that Star Wars now has characters saying "fuck" and Imperial Officers using their position of power to rape "undocumented immigrants". I can't blame George Lucas for thinking Disney, a company that spent almost a century being a bastion of wholesome entertainment, would protect Star Wars. Nobody could have foreseen the rotten thing they would become.

Cuz it(wa)s cool.
I wish Lord of the Rings had the same high quality games Star Wars does

the basic rifle on the assault class is the best one, and the the TTK is very low. Not sure wtf you're bitching about desu.

What made this game spike in popularity again? Because a few months ago when I was looking into it, it was dead.

there are starcards that literally give you more HP

Andor shill campaign

I haven't watched it but it's popular so it's bad

BASED

Yeah, I think George pictured a neowalt who was obsessed with legacy, someone who would treat his baby like an adopted child to the house of mouse, but look at Star Wars, Marvel, and even fucking Mickey Mouse now....problem is even the passionate autists are fucking perverts now so the only ones who can save this shit also draw Mickey MouseXLuke Skywalker Mpreg in their offtime

fake & gay

I did watch it unfortunatelyz and it is cancerous trash. Objectively and unironically way worse and more subversive than the entire sequel trilogy.

only on enforcers, and the hero health cards got nerfed so bad that they aren't worth taking. It takes like one COOP game to unlock 60% of the star cards for a basic class. They constantly hand out double XP so it takes no time to do so.

what if Star Wars but the refugee and border crisis where everyone remotely right wing is strawmanned as some vehement Empire TurboNazi.

Saved you a couple hours

It spikes in population bigly every May, this year it spiked especially high because of the Fortnite event reminding people Star Wars hasn't gotten a new shooter in nearly 10 years.

How did they hack ramparts?

Fortnite got a Darth JarJar, why do Lego and Epic Games have more fun with Star Wars than Disney....

It truly is sad. I'd sooner let my kids watch 80's horror movies than anything made by Disney in the last 10-12 years.

Sure are a lot of posts in this thread that read like literal shill bots
Why though?

How's it feel to lie on the internets

SAAAAAARRRR PLEASE TO BE TALKING ABOUT UNLEASH DE ABATAR!!!!!

Fuck off nigger

let me guess, a bunch of streamers organically($$$) came to the conclusion to play it all at the same time

If Gisney was paying for it, theyd probably ask for a fucking patch somewhere in the last year as well. Theyd likely prefer you play Fortnite and buy the licensed skins so you can play as the emperor with an AK hitting the griddy

What the fuck are you even talking about you schizo ass retard

Heresy!

Stay mad. You don't even play the game.

because we want more people to play this game so EA makes a third one. Problem?

my normie nigfriends loved this game when it came out

BLUEMILK

Anon they burned Luke's family alive because of a fucking hunch, the empire is evila and run by a evil space warlock with a monster face

Like mentioned only Enforcers get a Battle Hardened and that is a special class like heroes.

It wasn’t “dead” on ps5 or xbox. Has steadily had active lobbies

The game doesn't have any monetization at all at this point, they give out every single formerly premium skin at purchase and the game is always discounted heavily. There is zero incentive to try and organize a shill campaign to bring the game back to life.

unironically agree first was better, but it was killed sequel, EA and general sentiment towards SW under jizzney

That's outdated, saar. Try it now!

PC is pretty dead most of the time due to cheaters

got it free on ebic years ago

try it out today

game 1

cheaters

uninstall

but the EMPIRE IS EVIL

yeah I know, but taking modern day conflicts and assigning the right wing position to the empire is tacky.

BUT STAR WARS AND THE HOLOCAUST!!!

WW2 was over by 40+ years and the world almost universally agreed germany was in the wrong, its one thing to take a slamdunk easy position and another to take "The border crisis but star wars"

I would consider downloading it if it wasn't 90.5GB

Too much of a hustle, and the game really does get boring fairly quickly.

It was good before the DLC came out, basically split all of the lobbies. BF2 when they added Capital Supremacy basically shit all over it tho.

How do you know if it's a cheater or if the other person is really good

Really not true at all. The Empire weren't evil. Andor is just troon propaganda.

Some may blame just a good player on cheating, but sometimes a cheater is easy to spot, they move unnaturally fast or they just dont fucking die despite being health depleted

Filonislop

Hard pass.

>they gave it away for free for the second time

when?

Canonize starkiller

HES TOO OP AND GOOFY

then dont canonize the games, just the character and dial his force shit back. Star wars needs a rage monkey

Empire was as much USA imperialism in Vietnam and Iraq tho.

Tony Gilroy and everyone else who made Andor are just taking out their TDS on Star Wars. As usual with Disney. Not only that, but they were clearly ashamed to even be making a Star Wars show so they did everything in their power to film everything around London and dress it up like some cyberpunk dystopian Earth instead. If it didn't very occasionally have a TIE Fighter or Stormtrooper on screen, you'd never know it was supposed to be Star Wars. And that alone is a hallmark of a bad show. Not only dishonest filmmaking, but insecure filmmaking.

I forgot about the DLC splitting lobbies, released just as that kind of thing was going out of vogue very sad

tfw your kids movie about space samurais has a 2 hour lecture on bureaucracy

Why is the Fett family such fags

His character is redundant because of Inquisitors, and Sam Witwer is too busy with Maul anyway.

Cheaters I have spotted in the last couple of days:

Invincible hero or vehicle, see this almost every match nowadays

Clipping through the map and moving at very high speeds

Sniping through the terrain or buildings using aim hacks to instantly kill everyone as they spawn across the map

Two instances of someone playing as Darth Vader and Anakin teleporting the entire enemy team to their position simultaneously and instantly killing everyone as they appear

Cheat that makes it impossible for you to aim or look around when they are near you so they can easily kill you from behind or the sides

Maps with AT-AT and MTE objectives have them moved beneath the map where they can't advance or be damaged so the match never ends

this game pushed the frostbite engine to its absolute limit. I'm not a huge fan of the gameplay in general, but it's objectively one of the best looking games out RIGHT NOW and it came out fucking 8 years ago. So much better in art direction and fidelity than all the shit that's reliant on any of the new upscaling tech, and it can run well on 1080/vega 64 level hardware.

Insane, honestly.

captcha: D8P00

The crazy part is, the first Battlefront from 2015 is significantly nicer looking. 2 made compromises so that there could be more vehicles and heroes so it looks quite noticeably worse.

The first one looked better, but did have far less going on.

Xwing looks like a fighter jet GOOD

Empire looks like nazis GOOD

Chewy looks like a giant shaggy dog GOOD

All characters speak american english GOOD

Calypso band Cantina GOOD

Dexter Jetster BAAAAD RAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Empire looks like nazis GOOD

The Empire has always been a Nazi allegory,

Yeah 2015 was insane both in terms of visuals and audio.
I think technically 2 might be better quality but it doesn't look as good let alone as close to the movies.

Should I buy it? I missed out on the free giveaway
I loved original Battlefront 2 and battlefront 1 2015

If you like the first one you'll probably like the second

It really fell on the gameplay department. Hero drops, terrible perk balancing. The DLC added broken asf perks and weapons.

Battlefront 2 had waaaaaaaaaay better gameplay, especially with Capital Sjupremacy.

I liked the way it felt, but it didn't feel complete
There was very little to do when that feeling of being in star wars wears off

If you were going to buy it theres no better time than now, you can get a key for 10 bucks from keysites

new all time peak

mods coming out to give it longevity even after it dies

Not really though. First one's gunplay is leagues above 2, and that's the most important aspect. 2 feels like shit to play.

The gunplay is better in the first but not leagues better, while the hero gameplay in 2 is in fact leagues better.

Jedi: Fallen Order is the best EA Star Wars game.

Absolutely not, everybody used personal shields, jetpacks and bacta bombs. EE3 was the only rifle you'd see, it was cancer.

Meanwhile, in BF2 you'll see a shitload of different builds every match. Because the star cards are much weaker than BF1.

I don't know, Survivor did add a lot of nice things to it and allowing the player too keep the unlocked abilities from FO after the tutorial was nice

Still dead

Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy multiplayer is awful

It is until you install Movie Battles 2

Not surprising since the best Star Wars movie of all time was recently re-released. I might redownload SWBF2 soon as well pew pew!

yeah apart from Diego Luna being a terrible actor with the range of a butterknife the show had some really kino moments

Frostbite is an amazing engine. I wish it had become more popular amongst devs.

game casually gets shilled

damn, crazy

No. BF2's gunplay is pure garbage. Shut the fuck up

I fucking hate Mexican/spanish actors, they never learn regular fucking english and always deliver like mexicans

eyyy fuckur, the empire thtole my shit and sheeet, hola como ethtath

I get 80 fps on my POS 1070 ti, and it looks great.
isn't it free?

QUE IN GALACTIC ASSAULT YOU FAGS I'M SICK AND TIRED OF PLAYING SUPREMACY

the single player & co-op > multiplayer shit

Can confirm it is pretty cool, even if everyone will style on your noob ass.
And make fun of you for getting killed by younglings

didn't play BF1

hates BF2

Skill issue, the basic rifle is great. I love how low the TTK is.

Im not even a fan of the new saber dueling(given anything is better than Academys) but they fixed the gunplay too which is huge. Outcast and Academy had such wild sprays I swear they hit everything but the target

Why do they do this though? What are they gaining?

Browns and ruskis are so fuckin fried they dont enjoy playing the game, they just want the dope rush of winning, not sure how it doesnt eventually wear off after like an hour, especially given BF2 isnt E-sports anyway

Nah man, that anon is right. Even now, there's always a variance in BF2's gameplay, whereas in BF1, everyone is a similar build and it's just so fucking boring. It looks better, has its perks, but to insinuate that it has better balance/gunplay than 2 is an absolute lie.

Jet trooper missile launcher should be removed then the game would be perfect.

Right but they're not "winning". That's like just pressing a button and a message pops up saying "you win". There's nothing in it.

Let us shoot the missiles out of the sky, simple as, no easy kills because I can disable your highly lethal rockets.

Like I said, theyre fried, who knows whats goin on that noggin

Vader is fought to a standstill by bug eyed Deborah Wilson

Best EA Star Wars game.

Every single fps is filled with cheaters retard lmao.

They're so squishy, just pop them in the air

same. i can do Supremacy and not have a single issue and maybe get 2 or 3 assualts in and then someones turns the game into a 90s history class video or teleports everyone into a corner and nade spams them to death.

We need to move onto range bans

sorry your entire block cant play our game because [google maps image] this guy got caught cheating, also we block all VPNs eat shit

Vader is jobbing on purpose to "GUUUUD GUUUUD LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU"

What's a good multiplayer FPS that isn't filled with cheaters and isn't sweat shit like CSGO? Is BF1 still alive?

So why are all those people clamouring for a BF3 when they already have a feature-complete game?
What could a BF3 add to the table that's not already in BF2?

The team who fixed the game literally wasn't the core development team that made it's release bulit
This tells a lot

BF1 is still alive and very fun.

It sucks and also has cheaters

everyone has the exact same bacta bomb jet pack build

fun

No.

Implying that excuses him literally kneeling to a black woman.

bf2 on xbox is cheater free :)

it's being pushed by the algorithm, just saw a video on youtube about it unprompted

not a compliment

despite getting no updates in half a decade

It allows people to actually enjoy a static game instead of some amorpheous thing that changes to the whim of consumer demand.

No. BF2's gunplay and TTK are abysmal. Keep coping

We were going to get more Clone Wars and Mandalorian characters before EA Cut support

No Ahsoka Tano

No Din Djarin

No Bo Katan

Thank God

Only one coping is you. Go back to your dead BF1 mono build spam fest.

More maps, more fan favorite hero characters, space to ground combat, environment destruction, better vehicles like in old Battlefields, instead of killstreak on rails rewards.

A single player campaign that actually delivers what it promises and doesn't have the main characters join the Alliance a third of the way through.

keep dreaming lol.

battlefront+

because the fag took it down last year to "update mod description" and haven't made it available for download since?

Somehow Squadrons managed it.

I don't give a shit about single player campaign. Just add Galactic Conquest and highly tweakable instant action. That's it. I will come up with story in my head.

focus on the prequels

game becomes good

Wow who'd have thought that a battle about massive battles would fit better on the galactic war setting rather than that shit skirmishes between Rebels and Empire! Also fuck the Empire era every fucking star wars is this shit boring era.

Squadrons is an odd and crazy exception, in that not only do the Imperial pilots not defect, but are actually the good guys in the story with the Rebels/New Republic being legitimate villains that build a superweapon.

And yet it's still shit. Go figure.

Man the American political system really made a sad lot of you all didn't it

Imagine being this offended by the most minute things

I disagree, I was pissed when they fucked over the Empire maps with no ship boarding for Capital Supremacy.

but are actually the good guys in the story with the Rebels/New Republic being legitimate villains that build a superweapon.

They Fail and the Starhawk is mass produced.

The New Republic then fails to utilize it in any way post Jakku.

Fucking this
The prequel hate has gone too far
The movies were terrible but the setting was so much better
I'm sick of the OG trilogy

dood HAN SOLO hahaha

oh look chewie you love chewie and his roars right? RHOAAA hahaha

oh lol it's R2D2 you guys LOVE R2D2 haha

OMG IT'S LOOKE SKYWOLKERRRR I WISH THAT WERE ME

I think this is artificial marketing trying to make it out that people still play. Everything feels too organized happens all at once. It does not feel natural.

I like the part in the Imperial campaign where you shoot down a bunch of medical transports, but there was clearly a moment Lucasfilm/Disney demanded a character interject and claim the transports only have cargo on them not wounded, honest.

Genuinely, I think people played fortnite and realized that the new star wars mode wasn't as fun as Battlefront and got on. I think the numbers being that high is directly related to the insane player numbers of fortnite

For what purpose? The game is not monetized at all

They're hyping it for Battlefront 3, which I assume is being developed RIGHT now. Build hype to gain more interest in the Battlefront series so people can get excited for sequel it's pretty simple. Or maybe they're not even developing it, maybe they're testing the waters to see if gamers are still interested.

Have you really not seens all the drones spamming BF3 BF3 WE NEED BF3 all game every game, and all over youtube, and all over R*ddit?
It's a psyop manufactured advertisement campaign for the next game

I would have happily shot them down full of wounded Rebel scum.

I believe EA is focused on the next battlefield right now

DICE is busy with the next Battlefield right now, it would be 6 years minimum before they could ship a Battlefront 3.

They are.

I'm playing the playtest right now. Sadly it is horrendous...

I think SW is one of those universes where both the heroic and villainous factions are super fucking stupid and you can't genuinely root for either of them so you just don't get involved and simply watch their stupid wars unfold from the sidelines like they were monkeys fighting each others

Star wars just generally sucks. A new hope is actual schlock garbage. The empire strikes back is heavily carried by the action segments. I haven't rewatched return of the jedi yet because I stopped watching empire after like 20 minutes. The prequels are all basically new hope quality or worse. Virtually nothing happens in any of these movies and the plot is a plodding mess of "and then this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened" with no real rhyme or reason. The movies are just a stream of lucas' retarded imagination with no character or real plot development

Boba Fett game when?

Boba Fett.jpg - 688x994, 466.16K

You'd want one after the show that came out?

Never, if they make a game at this point it would be Boba Fatt instead.

Why are you even in this thread?

the sequel maps and elite units are more fun thoughbeit

oh so its playable now?

they'd add the black middle aged Ahsoka not the cute one

Only the FO ones, their jet trooper and the sith trooper are super fun.

How come villain factions always have the coolest elite units?
Rather, how come the light side elite units are so fucking lame?
Pic unrelated

their jet trooper

They fly now!

Look how they massacred my girl

Because

Clone commando and ARC trooper are pretty sick

They're super fucking boring compared to droidekas and fucking battle droids
They're just... clones

Republic elites are good though
CIS, Empire, First Order also good
Rebels, Resistance elites are bad

kill yourself clanker

It would be a very short game.

*blocks your path*

there's a whole lot of content a BF3 could include, dingus. there's so many interesting maps and heros and battles and factions that have been created since BF2 was made. BF3 could capitalize on the 3 and have three factions fighting on the same map over the same objectives much like planetside but starwars. as factions we could have pirates, partisans, natives, mandalorians, corporates, non-droid separatists, ISB, bounty hunters, witches, inquisitors in addition to traditional factions like jedi, sith, empire, rebels, clones, droids, new order and resistance. There is a huge amount of content a BF3 could be made with. You've not even thought about this question at all before posting.

I play in tps mode all the time.

So Darth Talon is being brought back into canon.

This kills the millennial

It's just an uglier A-wing.

I know everyone will hate me for this but I need more what if and Kyle Katarn, and less movie/clone wars wank. Im sick to death of Hoth and the fucking shield generators and geonosis, give me a rebel force x Jedi vs Empire x dark jedi battle in the valley of the jedi.

You aren't special, nobody wants nostagia wank starwars anymore.

you arent special

THEN STOP PUTTING ME ON FUCKING HOTH, how about a half decent battle for naboo

Kill yourself Trandor shill

Modded matches on Kyber is currently the definitive way to play the game, which sucks because it's still trapped behind Patreon/discord bullshit. Its pretty crazy how hard Battlefront+ goes by adding all the new heroes, reinforcements, guns, equipment ect. The only thing though is that it exposes how insanely unbalanced some maps are. Even with all the new firepower the rebel alliance gets, they still absolutely stomped on maps like Scarif

It's a pretty decent game and star wars is just great. It has enough elements of what Star Wars used to be to make it pretty good. The maps are great, it has the music, it's fun, and there's no rival to it, aside from mods for other games.

Like half of my galactic assault matches have hackers in them

kyber

Isnt that not out yet?

recognize that artist

I've been online too long.

Disney is realizing they're in trouble and trying to astroturf a Star Wars comeback. There's a gaming angle specifically directed at gaming since they've fumbled the streaming and movie markets and there's still some unmined nostalgia with gaming. Also, there's the opportunity to access an otherwise disengaged younger market. I played the game a lot back in the day so I'm not mad but it's really obvious.

Speaking of which what happened to that David Cage Star Wars game?

The player boost came from some Youtube channel pushing a "let's all login to show EA we want Battlefront 3" campaign and it somehow catching on.

Still in development seemingly

somehow the player base returned

EA.webm - 436x304, 257.6K

The content creator push started after it was already booming on its own

More than anything its Star Wars Season and I think every ignored BF2 seeing as it was the gold standard of jewishness and wrote it off without knowing they forcefully and lawsuitifully dejewinized it

Just another Star Wars project that got announced and stalled

I'm sure Disney is rather upset that people are going back to playing BF2 instead of buying skins in Fortnite.

10k concurrent player jump in a month on Steam alone

most players are playing through Epic / EA

Damn. I might give this another shot.

Untitled.png - 759x588, 212.9K

There is probably a similar number playing on EA's launcher, and then the rest of the playerbase is on console

Doubt it. The game has been given away for free many times on EA and Epic. It was never free on Steam. The EA / Epic numbers are definitely much higher.

It's better than it was at launch, but it had the potential to be so much more than what it currently is. Visually its better, but its still missing a TON of locations for maps and heroes that the originals had, and its system for using vehicles is dogshit. I don't get why this game is suddenly trending, but I think its just that - a trend that will die shortly. I hate these fucking influencers hopping on the bandwagon for views making consecutive videos on youtube for the last several days trying to hype this shit for views.

The PC version is a disaster currently though.

Works on my machine

now people actually want another Battlefront out of DICE

but they already forced out the devs who wanted to do it, and even if they wanted to come back and make it that turnaround would take a long time

Xen Runner.jpg - 736x828, 101.12K

What other game are star wars kids supposed to mobilize behind? besides movie battles 2 obviously

soulless dogshit

only Disney wars show to not use the fucking volume, builds real sets, casts excellent actors, with excellent scripts allowing them to deliver dialogue that isn’t wooden exposition-laden bullshit

but it’s bad because it’s written from a leftist perspective instead of sucking off your fucking awful politics

Kill yourself as soon as you can

Its bad because its written like shit and is ashamed to be star wars

new all-time peak on Steam

How did this happen?

still very good. but i just wait for bf3.
they cant just get away with not releasing a new mp shooter man..

It’s the only Disney Star wars show that’s written well
It’s the only one interested in actually delving into the politics Lucas was portraying
More Star Wars than Filonislop we’re getting

What about the cheaters though

its so sad being a le space mexican

Fuck off, even Filoni slop is better than this shit

Stopped giving a shit after they went all in on disney skins. Also, all anyone plays is that dumbass Naboo palace map.

They already stated they rather focus on their own ips going forward and work on the next battlefield. Influencers and people suddenly crying for battlefront 3 on social media isn't gonna make them suddenly drop their things and announce that they will make it because its trending. I'm sure that's not how development works and these people are delusional.

Blandor is anti-Star Wars, its antithesis in every single aspect, it is everything Lucas did not want Star Wars to be when he made it, and Gilroy is a soulless midwit from r/atheism, who appeals to the same cynical, bitter reddit ilk. Please, end your life immediately.

What the hell were people even upset with at launch

Rebels brings Dash Rendar back into canon just to make fun of him.

Dash Rendar.png - 640x278, 53.6K

The loot boxes that never even made it into launch. The loadout system was pretty much built around it so they had to double back and find a way to make that system work without them

half a decade

that's only five fucking years lol

Lucas liked Andor btw.

You had to grind for like 50 hour to unlock 1 hero with the points you get after a match and character star card progress was tied to random loot box drops that you could purchase

The loot box system was in the game for a few months before getting expunged

everything must be soulless cartoon fantasy that has zero parallels to real life, Lucas said Star Wars can only be this and nothing else

half a decade

why do zoomers say this?

source: dude, trust me

I doubt he even watched it.

Loot boxes deffo made it to launch, youtube sois were all about "I SPENT 800 DOLLARS ON DARTH MAUL!?!?!? :O"

Lucas liked Rogue One, he hasn’t commented on Andor. Willing to bet he’d like it, if nothing else than for giving Genevieve O’Reilly more work.

everything must be tonedeaf CNN coded TDS transliterated into my childrens science fantasy

Noone complains about the same shit in the George Trilogies because it isnt bashing you over the head with Kamala coded talking points

weird how disney insists on polluting star wars with new garbage. they could just let people make content for the existing stuff or just use existing characters for eternity and ppl would like it

its not like anyone has the capacity still to make anything good anymore

My life for yours.

trandorfags are so obtuse and illiterate that they can't parse Star Wars and its themes, and they need tasteless, blunt depiction of literal ICE checking visas and trying to rape illegal mexican immigrants to know that Empire is le bad

Yeah

This. I've said the same thing many times in threads about that awful, soulless trash. George Lucas made Star Wars as a fairytale story for his kids. Disney and Gilroy filled it with rape and modern anti-Trump rhetoric and swearing. It is disgusting and evil to its core.

Dark Forces does, and Jedi Outcast/Academy run fine on modern PCs. Dark Forces II I think you're out of luck.

And yet back in 2008 people were complaining that Clone Wars was too kiddy.

they need tasteless, blunt depiction of literal ICE checking visas and trying to rape illegal mexican immigrants to know that Empire is le bad

Considering how many people (in this very thread no less) will argue that the Empire is morally right, turns out you DO need ICE checking visas and committing sexual assault. And turns out watching how the banal evil of imperial bureaucracy grinds people down is pretty compelling TV. Sorry there weren’t enough space wizards extolling the virtues of force eugenics for your taste.

Dark forces 1 and 2 do(openjdk)
Jedi outcast and academy do as well (openjk)
All 4 run fine without

I actually just played Dark forces 2 for the first time recently using Openjkdf2 and it worked great for me.

write a whole novel to talk about how more smarterer you are

Still the peak of Star Wars.

Kotor.jpg - 250x347, 28.42K

Try reading it again but with some family guy clips playing in the background

I hate how this song has been rent free in my head for 20 years now

Lucas liked Rogue One

I bet he only liked the visuals, technical aspects of it, not the actual content itself. Just like with The Last Jedi, which he said was "beautifully made", but as he once said, there are "beautifully made" films that are complete shit. Because Rogue One was fucking embarrassing fanwank with zero substance from start to finish.

Just play his dad's game.

My assumption would be that he got to see the non-butchered cut

kys cis scum

The game is shit and this EA shilling campaign won't change that

Rogue One was fan service slop because it had Darth Vader

Andor is boring anti-Star wars garbage written by people who hate Trump

Pick a fucking lane, dumbass. Part of why the prequels caught such flak was because Lucas focused so much on the politics of the republic backsliding into authoritarianism. Andor took those politics seriously and wrote a story based around them.

Both can be true, you braindead mongoloid.

Andor took those politics seriously

No, faggot, Andor took those politics and made them blunt, obnoxiously preachy and embarrassingly contemporary. And there was more to the prequels than just politics. Retard.

No he doesn't. I guarantee he would hate it if he ever bothered watching it, which I doubt he would. He liked Rogue One, which was good. Andor is dogshit.

THE EMPIRE IS LE BAD

It's not out yet but it has a closed beta test going on. It's not worth signing up for now though since it will be out for everyone by the time you'd get accepted into it. It's a very fresh way to experience the game watching a Jango Fett player get ganked and bonked repeatedly by a couple of gungan warriors

Not saying I like or hate Andor, but do you guys even realize Lucas based the rebels off of his admiration of the viet cong and that he has, multiple times on video, confirmed that he is a hardcore boomer lefty? He also married a black women. Pretty sure he doesn't loke trump and if he still had control of this series, he would be making anti-trump content just like of ROTS was an anti-bush movie.

Anyway, they should make a new rogue squadron game.

Oh bullshit, Andor’s politics were VERY clearly couched in the Atlantic revolutions of the 18th-20th centuries. You think the shit with ICE officers checking visas is somehow unique to our time? Are you fucking stupid?
For fuck’s sake, the obviously french rebel cell were telling Syril to his face that the Emperor doesn’t know what his lackeys are doing to them which is the most blatant reference to how initially royalist the French Revolution was. The king doesn’t know what is being done in his name! Same with the Russian Czar in the early 20th century.
The Aldhani heist is a direct reference to the Bolshevik group led by Stalin robbing a Russian bank in 1907.

Well the Viet Cong were only one inspiration. He also said he based the Rebellion on WW2 allied fighters. He is generally anti authoritarian.

NOOOOOO THE EMPIRE CAN’T BE PORTRAYED AS BAD I DON’T WANT TO FEEL GUILTY FOR SELF-INSERTING

Yeah, we know that Tony Gilroy is a midwit socialist Stalin fanboy. Spare me this slop. Which is what was said from the start: the show is fundamentally anti-star wars, ideologically, spiritually, morally, stylistically, tonally. It's not about having politics in it. Lucas had politics - which he handled infinitely better. It's the fact that the show is made by morally, spiritually corrupt person, and his world-view is incompatible with Star Wars.

You may stop shilling this garbage, btw. You will not convince anyone.

Based. I hope every troglodyte tranny that has been gassing that vile slop up gets hit by a bus.

Still the greatest villain in any Star Wars Vidya.

Rosh_Penin.jpg - 260x369, 17.69K

calls him a midwit while sharing the opinions of braindead zoomers with attention spans that have been burnt to a crisp

Yes, Gilroy is SUCH a Stalin fanboy that he had the libbed-up Mon Mothma be the show’s second protagonist and be integral to the rebellion existing. He’s so anti-spirituality he has a healer convince Cassian that the Force has chosen him for greater purpose, which he ends up actually believing. He’s so antithetical to the morality and ideology of Star Wars that the love and will of his adopted mother not only inspires Cassian to play a pivotal role in destroying the empire, but her funeral speech makes an entire town rise up against it.

THE EMPIRE IS LE BAD AND INCOMPETENT! WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

They’re not even incompetent, that’s like a criticism leveled by The Last Jedi.
The Empire in Andor is plenty competent, they’re just overconfident.

If you cant tell the difference youre a midwit redditor, simple as

You have nothing to argue against what I’m saying, just the same buzzwords that always occupy your brain.
The only reason you hate it is because it doesn’t let you pretend that your politics are in line with your favorite fantasy series.

It was in that one PSP Battlefront game and it was surprisingly great. Good way to implement meaningful air vehicles too.

Andor is overt, andor is talking directly to the audience.
Real Star Wars isnt.

Real Star Wars isn’t overt? Anakin explaining to Padme why he prefers direct authoritarianism to democracy is subtle? Padme saying that democracy dies in thunderous applause is subtle?
Is that truly less overt than Saw Gerrera saying that other rebel cells don’t have the purity of vision and politics he has? Or that Mon Mothma shouting that the empire has destroyed any semblance of real truth?
I don’t believe you think this for a second.

How's the instant action for this game? Is it like OG 1 and 2?

Pretty much. Enough options that you can get the game mode and maps you want and can change the points requirement for other classes. Fairly certain offline has all weapons unlocked, but can’t say for sure.
