8 Incredible details you missed about Star Wars Battlefront 2 

Dice really went all out on their BF2. Shame they dropped support for it when there was so much more they could add, especially when it comes to weapons and heroes.

Ah, yes. The hidden lightsaber form: Base'bal-baat

Basically every saber wielder in the game sharing animations between each other: General Grievous: “Nah, imma do my own thing.”

❌ Re-using animations ✅ Hidden details

Ok I originally thought “that’s so cool” but as soon as I saw the anakin and dooku one, idk but I’m a little skeptical that some of if not most of these “lore parallels” might just be the devs reusing animations and base animations for each character

I love that. Anakin has more flare where as Vader is straight to the point.

“Luke trained Rey” I think “trained” is used loosely here lol

2:23 now I can never un-see that 💀

I love looking back and focusing on all the smaller animation details in the new bf2

ALternate theory: They did not put any work into the animations but copied the already finished ones and just slightly altered them

03:46 fun fact: The imperial shadow trooper appeared in The Force Unleashed game released in september of 2008, and before that in the Lego set 7667 'Imperial Dropship' earlier that same year.

"Luke trained Rey" No, he gave her two lessons on why she shouldn't be a Jedi (even though he promised three lessons), she swung the lightsaber around by herself, and then he kicked her off the island.

I still play battlefront 2 to this day. I play at least a few times a week. I still hate that they ended it so early 😭😭

Just finished watching all of your Star wars videos gotta say nicely done keep up the work and good luck

Hey you got some good catches there. Good video. 👌 May the Force be with you.🙏

I noticed the lightsaber swing animations right away and made the connection of master to padawan instantly. Also father to son similarities in the moves

I can never unsee that a DC-15 uses an upside down E-11 😅 Also, the scope issue can be explained away by saying that it is actually a camera optic. So the optic is actually linked to a camera rather than it being a telescope. I'm blanking on real life examples of this, but this is similar to the Magnum from Halo and the weapons of Mass Effect prior the third entry. Staggering when you consider most of these Star Wars weapons were designed in the 70's. Either this technology existed to a limited degree, or this is one big happy accident.

Star Wars Battlefront game series needs to be continued bro 🔥💯🔥❤️🔥💯🔥

My tid bit in BF2 is that the Raider ship HQ used by Inferno Squadron gets its design and origin from a table top game called X-Wing Miniature Game. It was designed by Lucasfilm for FFG to use in their game to have something that could go toe to toe with a CR-90. Dice saw it and loved enough to make it the main HQ of Inferno Squadron, making it officially canon

Love the cotent! More please!! Been playing since the originals.

Shadow troopers also existed in Star Wars Jedi Knight 2, but they wielded lightsabers and they would brutalize you

“Since he now has the high ground” lol

While the similarities between vader and anakin are apparent and likely deliberate Most of the other shared moves were simply recycled with no deeper meaning on other characters, most of these similarities are a stretch at best

Keep em coming

I have loved Star Wars all my life and been a nerd forever...I never realized DC-15 barrels were upside down E-11s

0:39 mistake made here, no one trained Rey, and Luke actually had skill in Form V, Rey actually swings like a baseball bat though

The glock and deagle combo is cursed and I love it, you better know Rex is dual welding those

Yellow Blaster Bolts are non lethal? Haha Mandalorians start blasting!

Luke didn’t “train” Rey. He just told her to swing her blade like a stupid little child and she cut a rock and almost fell off a cliff.

Luke didn't trained Rey, she trained herself.

the reason most the lights saber animations were similar might be because of time and effort reason as making completely unique animations for each character would take long

Id imagine the reason the resistance uses blue for their blaster bolts is because first order storm trooper armor is likely tuffer to get through so they need the extra power blue bolts provide.

Not all gun sights need a lense on both ends. Early collimator sights (actually used on SW blaster props) worked on the "occluded eye" principle. As long as you keep both eyes open while aiming, it works fine.

… Luke didn’t train Rey. “Actually trained”, all he did was poke her with a plant and told her to go away.

Didn't know that about blaster color!

I'm not even a part of the Battlefront community but your videos are great dude. Ever considered making content on other Star Wars games, or just other games in general? I know there's a few Star Wars games that are very "Battlefront-ish", could be cool to see how they compare and how things differ from the more popular Battlefront brand/games.

Shadow troopers existed prior to battlefront 1 as lego had q set with one back in the earlier 2000s

0:38 something else I just realized is that they both kick at some point in their attacks

i was with you until you said kylo ren is like dark side Anakin, he isnt lmao. fun fact in the OT George lucus actually had Hayden christinsian slow down is swing patterns when doing the choreography because he was worried that the sword fights would not look real. kylo Ren moves like a person is carrying a wooden trunk for a lightsaber.

The default sniper for the resistance is a combo of a Luger P08 and other rifle bits lol.

Great video as always. Not gonna lie, I love Dennis - we owe so much to him for how amazing BF2015 and BF2017 are - but his comments on the Shadow Trooper being too similar to/redundant with the Death Trooper are so uncharacteristically wrong for him, and really couldn't be further from the truth. Their only similarity is that they both wear black armor. Other than that, everything about the two trooper types is completely different. Shadow Troopers are stealthy reconnaissance and infiltration units, while the Death Trooper is a bodyguard and enforcer unit. On top of that, the Shadow Trooper is basically a black Stormtrooper, with no additional gear, while the Death Troopers commonly have additional ammo pouches, grenade bandoliers, pauldrons, etc. On top of all this, the two units literally coexist perfectly in Battlefront 2015, and no one has ever complained about it. I have to think that he had to think of something to say to explain their absence from BF2, probably because the team just didn't have time to add them.

"Luke trained Rey" haha good one

Viewers: man youtube recs is boring lately- Star Wars Content: *Hello There!!!*

So do ion shots kill droids faster than an unmodded shot would in the game? Essentially does blue kill battledroids quicker than red?

Han Solos gun looks a lot like the C96 Mauser. Just with a scope and a different barrel.

Decent game 🔥

Remember when we all wanted EA to loose the Star Wars games license. And now we got the battlefront classic collection.

In bf2015 you’d ads in first person down the length of the gun in a (point shooting stance for pistols) if the weapon didn’t have an optic. Wish they’d brought it back in bf2

I stil hope there will be a new game for next gen with a long life support with new characters and updates. Fun season passes. It could live for ages

Did you know, get ready, they are the same person? I know. Mind blowing.

NR used blue because the writers were thinking (blue=good republic red=bad empire

I think it would be awesome if they ever went back to add new content to EA BF2 if they changed some Hero ships to have customizations, at the very least change Yoda's Jedi Starfighter to just by default be "Jedi Starfighter" and allow you to change skins based on your favorite Jedi's fighter, even let you change the dialogue of who's talking when you fly it and make it available to have at least a couple people use it.

god i miss this game

Blue is from Tibana gas!

The new republic probably uses them because Disney went “oooOOOOOOOhhh rEd Is BaD and BlUe iS gOoD”

Now if only the brought the game back from the death, the skeleton crew can't keep up.

1:20 this is why I don't like when they use blue bolts for "good guys" just to distinguish them from "bad guys" (like the new republic)

Giving two characters the same move set isnt a detail. It’s a lack there of. May I remind you that in the actual battlefront II Vader had his own unique abilities indicative of a fall to the dark side.

The glazing is unreal

1:20 this blaster is base on a ww2 mg the mg15

0:45 That’s not a bad way of putting it.

Yeah totally didn't know that. Dev's totally didn't tell us this when he released.

Holdon, how did you get anakin to do his signature move in BF2? in 0:28

I dont get why kylo has the same ones as anakin considering how he was never trained by him and he should be less experienced then luke and alot less experienced then republic era lightsaber combat

And yellow shots in blasters? Which is their quality?

i knew about anakin and vader cuz there the same person

You're an underappreciated goat

Luke never trained Rey…. Rey had zero training.

Im such a nerd i noticed basically all of this invested 2k hours into that game. So fucking sad they never continued it. Hope we get the same team to make bf3

Always thought of lightsabers having rounded tips, and the sharp being weird. Like those in the animated series look WAY too sharp IMO

The Resistance’s blue blaster bolts are just blue regular bolts not ion shots.

That last part with the Shadow trooper is actually wrong the Shadow trooper first appeared in Star wars the Force unleashed I don't remember if it was the first one or the second one but I do know that's where it first appeared because it's a skin and an enemy I think

definitely didnt miss any of these details

I miss bf1 stormtrooper skins

wait why do i get the feeling Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are the same person. Am I the only one who's thought of this?

Anakin and Vader Have Similar animations? It’s almost as if they are the same person

I still play regularly

Problem is, the changes to Vader's animations later on resulted in HORRENDOROUS clipping with his cape. You can't even walk without his elbows phasing through. They basically ruined Vader and never fixed him.

vader is not meant to be the same as anakin, he's meant to be slower and more methodical

Is it weird that I put the blue on the arc trooper and just use him as a cap Rex hero

when did luke train rey?

2:33 why need lens when you miss all shots

0:39 How did Luke train Rey? His only lesson to her was "reach out". He didn't show her anything other than that.

i have another name to this details, its called recicling so it cost less to do. hahaha

The shadow trooper not being included for being too similar to death troopers, I wonder if the devs ever considered making the shadow into a Death trooper skin

“Kylo ren is dark side anakin if he never lost any limbs” and was much weaker in the force and worse with a lightsaber and had even worse daddy issues somehow despite ACTUALLY having a dad unlike Anakin

orange non lethal? bt i saw the mandalorians using it in real fights i clone wars or somewhere

Never got my fucking jango fett

1:33 what’s that gun called?

vader has slower and shorter swing than anakin, as logic is.

Guys what do you mean? Star Wars battlefront 2 has just begun and the very warz rage on!!!!

i see it as them just reusing animations

Luke “trained” Rey 😂😂😂😂😂

Luke didn’t train Rey. She’s somehow better at everything because the writers said she is. Is it boring and lazy? Yes. Does that make it bad? Also yes.

"crazy to see how much detail they put into hero animation" My man they're just recycling animations 💀💀💀

Bait cause why wouldn't it be the same when they are the SAME PERSON.

Can you still play this game?

It's amazing how much attention to Star Wars detail they put into this, replicating the Star Wars universe so well! If only they could replicate a Battlefront game as well when they made a Battlefront game... {Ya I'm still salty about EA/DICE using Pandemic's SWB and SWB2 names to hype up EASWB and EASWB2 when they play completely differently.}

Man this game is just so good. A shame they had to abandon it to focus on Battlefield 2042.

Of course they have the same moveset. It's the same guy.
