I Finally Played the Battlefront 2 Campaign 

Oboeshoes kenobi

of course the dead speak. No one's ever. Really Gone.

in another tine line he tried to beat tf2 instead and was only left with a box of hats

I would have been ok with the switch in loyalty if they did it better. Have it be more of a struggle for her to decide or have existing conflicting emotions. Instead she just sort of decided the Empire was bad and switched Alternatively they could have copied from the original BF2 and had her stay with the Empire but me more resentful about in. In the Original you play a clone trooper who becomes a Storm trooper, and while they fight for the Empire they reflect how they don't feel great about it

One thing that always bothered me is why is it that only now she decided to switch sides - if I’m correct, the memory level made it imply that Inferno saw action in Scarif, meaning they likely saw the Death Star blow up Jedha, that one portion of Scarif, and might have went on to witness the events of ANH and ESB prior to the ROTJ events here Being special forces and all you’d think these three were conditioned enough to not care about the stuff happening but it always baffles me how a special forces group managed to defect somehow I was okay when Katarn did it (my memory is fuzzy, I also vaguely remember him being a former stormer), but characters like that one guy from Rebels, the Filoni Clone Troopers, and 2/3 of Inferno is eh

Because when it comes to big franchises people are scared to change things up. even though i'm sure everyone would love to play as the bad guys in star wars.

@@Darkfire7881 The thing is, how can you have an objectively bad side, and not have everyone come to their senses? That's why it doesn't work for me. Either they all do or not. We know the empire is pure evil, so why switch now? It's lazy.

@@atomic747 it’s also likely because every new Star Wars game somehow has to adhere to canon, and apparently we can’t have dark side endings for that reason now

God damn good thing it never happened to me

That literally happened to me too 💀

Well if some religious madman killed all your friends with just his mind, you wouldn't want to piss him off either.

Not just the men. But the women. And the children!

@@BananaBrainsZEF Luke continuing the Skywalker tradition.

I mean Luke literally asks the troopers to please not do this and gives them a choice. They open fire. With Del he has the option of no violence because its only the two of them. This is a great Luke scene and is what he should be like.

@@PKryik All the stuff with Luke I thought was actually really well done and by far the better parts of the story

Bot don’t trust it it is a fake prize

They saw the original Star Wars Battlefront allowed you to go from Clone on the side of the good guys to an awesome storm trooper till the battle of Hoth. From Genosis to Hoth a perfect line up & went like lets do the opposite but forget that we actually loved the original because we played as Storm troopers. So few games let you have fun as the bad guys. Force Unleashed earned its betrayal since its round the end & you fight both the emperor & Vader as an all powerful Sith.

Shriv imo is the best part of the the campaign, as he is the only one to seemingly realize how ridiculous the whole thing is.

Dolmen moment

"Surrender Gleb! You'll never make a Dolmillion like me! *DOLMEN STRIKE!* "

i mean thats basically what all star wars names were outside of the movies from ANH up until the thrawn trilogy were

Gleb is actually also a name of some Slavic saint. So either Anglosaxon words aren't the epitome of idioms or Russians are aliens. Tough call, that

@@AthCom it's just a normal Russian name, not the most common, but not rare either.

@@garretthberne3035 "I'd like you to meet my friends. This is Dmitri, Nikolai, and Gleb." That's just so funny to me.

@@DifficultyTweak Timothy Zahn at least created some neat naming system for the Chiss in his prequel books.

That was my main issue with it, she has zero problem with inflicting atrocities elsewhere, but do it on her planet and suddenly EMPIRE BAD.

she conveniently has a change of heart during the empire's downfall, hmmm

The multiplayer is really fun but thats about it

No shit, I played it sometime last year and I really don't remember anything about it. At least a bad game can be memorable for how bad it is.

Yeah I saw I was only halfway through the campaign and just stopped playing. Just felt like something that exists and I was going through motions.

I liked it. Story was obviously a bit mid. They sadly didn't have the balls to have you play as an imperial for more then like 3 missions. The only thing i hated was these incredibly forced hero missions. They sucked.

But on pc with max settings it looks really beautiful

Oh yea i remember those trailers. Does she even say that in the campaign

@@dark_disciple it's been a long time since I played. I think she makes one passing comment about it during the Endor mission.

It's not like battlefront 2 2005

And they were made commercially until the early 2010s so you wouldn't even have to chop up a priceless historical artifact to do it!

@@LangstonDev but that’s not as fun as ruining a historical artefact

Improving*

Well, it's the L2A3 with the mag slot removed and a dot sight welded on (among a few other, minor things) so if you were to make a "real" E11 it wouldn't shoot bullets - no way to load it.

These days, they come already chopped up (to adhere to importation laws) as parts kits, so they're already ruined and it would be no big deal to make an inert E11 out of a parts kit.

My thoughts exactly, when this came out I told my friend that it feels like a decent star wars mod for a Battlefield game, it doesn't really feel like star wars though

No problem with that honestly.

Lmao the best part about this game is the online version not the campaign

It’s like the sequels took the WAR out of Star Wars lol

2015 where the pain started

Yeah, we only saw some light in 2019 with Fallen Order and Mandalorian. Then it was ups and downs.

2013 is when it started

As soon as they anounced they were throwing out the old EU I stopped caring.

@@scottthewaterwarrior personally I don't recognize the starwars post disney as canon

Don't forget the prequels either

@@wordshurt2676 it's treason then.

stop hatting the sequels and the prequels there's worse the prequels are good you people pretend to be true star wars fans by hatting the prequels but you are not

@Alan Mathias prequel are the best saga then the original and the worse are the seauels

@@zaicanna96 okay but go watch andor or obi-wan kenobi and you'll it's way worse

its the complete opposite of spec ops. in spec ops you wonder if you should have slaughtered all these people trying to do the right thing(tm). in battlefron, the right thing(tm) completely justifies the immediate wholesale slaughter of everyone you used to fight with and for.

Cringe comment

@@crashinallguard cringe comment

cringe comment

Why? The gameplay was dogshit throughout. You guys are acting as if changing the side you fought for - some trivial story shit - made the actual gameplay worse. It’s a terrible, shallow, laughably basic game and that has nothing to do with the story. It’s not like it would be a good game with a better story.

@@citizen3000 What I was hoping the game would be narratively. The actual gameplay is another matter.

It was not remotely logical or functional either

@@archmagosdeciuskronen1501 no it was but it is something you sorta want to ignore because sacrificing 1 ship and 1 robot to destroy any planet or ship thing is really strong. They should have never brought it up it's something all ftl space franchises have to ignore or it breaks conflicts.

@@SpecialJess2 It's a series about magic space wizards with plot armor and that moment still broke Star Wars for me. If it was really a 1 in a million thing, the folks on the bridge of the other ship wouldn't have been freaking out.

@@scottthewaterwarrior the one in a million thing is dumb it has a 100% chance of crashing since in star wars from what I can tell it's just going fast not warping into another dimension

@@SpecialJess2 Hyperspace is another demension actually. One of the many reasons why it shouldn't have worked.

Playing it right now, and the lightsaber feels more like a cattle prod with the amount of enemies that can tank multiple blows from it.

@@padmanabhanvaidyanathan7182 The last game to have a lightsaber that truly felt and acted like one was Jedi Academy. In just about everything since they've been treated like stun batons.

​@@DovahFett I feel like you're forgetting about KOTOR and TSL. Although the combat mechanics were weird as hell, they allowed the combat to look sick. And the fact that lightsabres would crave up anything that didn't have Beskar meant they felt pretty lightsabre-y. Oh, and the original Battlefront 2, where they'd just make mince meat of any "normal" soldiers you came across. Only issue was that didn't have dismemberment so it felt a bit... odd.

The games don't really show up on Disney's radar all that much. Back around this games release and the whole loot boxes as gambling issue, people were trying to group up and get Disney to rescind the EA exclusivity contract for games and Disney said you the effect that they dont give a damn because video games arent where the star wars bucks are at. So long as it doesn't cause some super duper story contradictions, they pay no attention

Star Wars was literally never at any point in its entire lifespan "morally grey."

​@@Voingous the entire EU was morally grey. Even when you had very obvious evil guys like Caedus and Isard running around, you had people like the Imperial Remnants and the Ciutric Hegemony who were "bad-guy-aligned" but themselves not particularly evil. Not to mention the New Republic was never exactly "good" without stretching the word. Go back in time and you've got everyone from Revan to the Grey Jedi to fill your required grey-ness.

​@@VoingousFel Empire, so grey their knights used grey lightsabers.

The funny thing is: if the game was good, there'd be more reason to play it (and talk to your friends about how they should play it), meaning they would have ultimately sold MORE lootboxes. They were so concerned about not shooting themselves in the foot, they ended up shooting themselves in the hand instead.

It's not like the og battlefront 2 campaign

at least the multiplayer was fun until EA remembered that fun doesn't make money and shut the game down

@@StonyCarrot1001 It’s nothing new we all knew it was going to get 2 to 3 years of support don’t act like you were surprised

​@@nepoliansumal3547 missing the point

@@jr2904 I did not miss any point EA games more specifically DICE games only have 2-3 years of support it was not because of the game not making any money it was because that’s how the game was planed to be.

What did you think of the Sigurd video? I couldn't see your comment there.

@@pauliesstories6060Absolutely loved it Oboe even hearted my comment

That would be amazing😳 Kinda like the Avatar Video Game where you can choose between the humans and the Na'vi

I mean I got it

The only issue is the legality of the folding stock to make it complete, stock makes it an SBR if the barrel is the regular short length.

@@archmagosdeciuskronen1501 free men don’t ask permission to put stocks on their e11 blaster rifles

tbf, Fetts Sarlac surviving isnt really that outragous given he wore beskar armor AND the sarlac is known for taking AGES to digest things, meaning it would be painfull but not imidiatly deadly to fall into it, escaping is problematic but not impossible. and palpy didnt survive per say, his body died, his spirit survived and inhabitat a clone body he prepared beforhand AND booth of those events are actually not Disney originals (maul surviving isnt either.... but that one has no explanation outsie of "dark side anger") but where pre established things that already happend in similiar fashions in legends since... basicaly star wars existed(palpy even returned twice in the old canon) the retcons arent GETTING ridicolous, they where ridicolous

@@weberman173 it’s lazy writing. If the sarlac was so easy to escape from it wouldn’t be used for executions. Robot-legs-maul was is so stupid it’s insulting. Palpatine being ‘prepared’ for his death on the DS2 makes no sense because he was absolutely sure of the battles outcome. He had ‘foreseen’ it. They couldn’t come up with new characters so they recycled old ones.

@@kirishima638 they threw people, with no armor or weapons and iirc bound hands into it... Thats a far cry from someone with full beskar armor, and tools on his belt. And palpatine didnt prepare speificaly for DS2, he prepared for his death in general, or even just the chance of it

even maul didn't get revived in the original extended universe

@@YuiFunami Maul is about the only Revival i fully agree was just weird in every capacity.
