The Battlefront 2 news is HEARTBREAKING. 

I thought this game was gonna have the server shut down. You got me scared

Those were the most painful 19 minutes of my life, the potential this game had was unreal...

I still remember when my friend said the words "I can't believe we got Ahsoka in Fortnite before Battlefront" and I've never been the same.

Possibly a hot take, the biggest reason Battlefront 2 was cancelled is Dice and EA themselves and the direction leadership took on launch. If they didn’t ship the game with all the insane grind requirements and micro transactions then it would have had much higher general sentiment and a much larger player base which would have garnered WAY more support. Also Dice’s 1-map a year production pipeline just isn’t sustainable for a live-service game.

I personally am not bothered by the devs not caring to add more guns. A smaller pool of balanced guns beats having a bunch that either suck or are OP. Obviously anything added would be welcome but I’d rather their effort be towards skins, characters, maps, and maybe events or limited modes.

No Utapau was a crime. Hoping one day someone will make a mod of it

I could see Respawn doing a battlefront 3 in the future, with how successful they’ve been with their Star Wars games and how well Apex has been doing. It would be really cool if they hired Dennis and a bunch of the other devs that left to head the project and let them have free reign over everything and to let them actually make the next game how they wanted it to be before it was shut down

Hopefully a Battlefront 3 will happen one day

Having this information as rumors and leaks is one thing. Hearing that majority of them are true just hurts. Like a punch in the gut. I hope another studio can give us a proper Battlefront 3. I have been playing BF2 again lately and the playerbase on PlayStation at least is still pretty high.

I thought you were gonna say they’re turning off the servers

"focus on antenticity" -> in the last uptade you can play the snow tropper and ewoks on all OT maps...

I went into this game very late because I am absolutely not a fps/shooter player at all. "No auto aim? All manual? Oh god.. guess I only play story mode and maybe coop". Now I am close to maxing out every class and somehow this made me really proud. And despite it having like what, 8 maps? it is always enjoyable and doesn't get boring, unless you happen to come across some absolute griefers or those who do not play the objective

With the amount of hype, potential, money, content, and fun that Star Wars Battlefront 3 could bring, I see no reason for them NOT to make it.

it's Something ive noticed with Star Wars, the fanbase is great, the Lore is great, the dedicated people who put hundreds of hours into making game assets are great, but the people who make production plans are horrible and ruin the experince for everyone, its not just the games either, its the movies too, clearly there's demand for it but they think they know better, who tf asked for battlefield 2042

So tragic man. This game could have been amazing if EA supported it.

Its actually crazy how frequent we've been shafted, if they spent any amount of time just looking theyd know how much is to be made from sinply making a bf3. Dice was judt getting the balk rolling. We've been played out of bf3 TWICE and both times it was looking to be the best starwrs game out. Also rip 1313

Ngl I have like 3months of time played on Battlefield 2042. But I would do ANYTHING to have scraped that and bring more life to Battlefront 2. There's really no reason this game doesn't deserve a massive amount of attention. It's literally what Star Wars fans wanted and still want. So now what...we wait for them to recreate another Battlefront when they already had the means to make it better? Smfh.

"every empire has its time, every empire falls, but that which is dead can live again, in the hands of a believer" - Cyberman from Doctor Who

This game was literally my childhood I’m so sad they stopped updating it 😢

We have like 12 Battlefield games. We don't have many triple A Star Wars games. And if they had just sold skins I would have bought them - playing Clone Wars era modes with fully voiced Delta squad Republic Commandos, Magnaguards for droid commandos, B1A droid jet troopers and Ahsoka Tano for Rey and Mace Windu for Luke really adds to the immersion.

Gotta love how EA gets the rights to Star Wars games, only to make no Star Wars games

>No Battlefront 3 >*Laughs in Galactic Contention*

they should add a map editor to the game so that we can make the maps. imagine what Rhen var citadel would look like in this battlefront game.

I would of loved all game modes to be playable solo with ai and Co-op, like having galatic assault with ai offline couch co-op would of been sick what could of been

Here’s something interesting: I mod battlefront 2, and was searching through the voice files and I found two voice files labeled “Ashoka” (it’s misspelled like this in the files) and “Padme” how close we were to actually having them in the game :(

I can still remember watching that final community update. And I can remember that I actually cried. A lot of us stuck by this game in its darkest days, to see it rise, to see it mostly shake of the lootbox stigma. To see fan favourite additions be added. It is still the game I have the most hours on, even though I have only played it irregularly for three years or so. I have so many memories with friends. The community, the devs, the game’s strong suits and the game’s flaws. Anakin being a brand new addition (I’d have loved if they had an event, once a year, where Anakin was is overpowered version again, maybe on Hayden’s birthday or something). I remember I made hero and reinforcement concepts for myself, for so many characters. Taking a peek at how the game was structured and trying to mimic it myself. I know it’s incredibly geeky, but that’s just what I am at times. Add the fact that a lot of new Star Wars content has really disappointed me and just Disney still handling the franchise the way they do. I don’t know… I’m just getting more apathetic to the franchise as a whole. There are other fantasy and sci-fi worlds that occupy my mind more, including ones I have made myself. I think I just value Star Wars less and less overall, though I do cherish the content I do love. And I have a couple of novels at the ready for my reading pleasure. That said, I alternate them with other series, such as Brandon Sanderson’s first Mistborn trilogy, at the moment. And I still want to read a song of ice and fire. And I write my own stories. Star Wars… I love it still, but it’s just being shoved towards the rear end of my mindspace.

I don't think i was ever obsessed with a multiplayer game this much, TF2 aside. BF2 brought me so much joy, and the time between the launch of the game and it's end in 2021 was the best time of my life. Each update was like a holiday, i really wish they'd stick to it and deliver till the very end of EA-Star wars deal... 90% of the cancelation reasons was just "Not enough resources" Did EA gave them a total budget of 2.66$ or something??

7:43 Goddamnit the nostalgia hit me like a truck on the highway. I miss those short skits from Battlefront 1.

Every single time I even hear BF2 I just think “the biggest heartbreak of last gen gaming” could’ve been SO DAMN GOOD. God. I hate it

This game had such amazing potential. Sadly most companies like this just forget about their games

I loved battlefront 2. When it got canceled, I shut of my xbox and didn’t play the game again until months later. This video makes me sad, but I do have hope that sometime in the future that the Star Wars leaders will realize the pain that their fans have and come together and give us the Battlefront 3 we deserve. We have to have hope!

Personally, I wanted a little more focus on the non-hero combat. More guns, gadgets, that sort of thing. A No Hero mode in particular would have been most welcome, for those of us who just love infantry and vehicle combat.

Almost gave me heart attack thinking the servers where shutting down 😭

If EA wasn’t so annoying with stopping dice’s massive ambition because of money battlefront would be so good

Short story is greed we'll never get a truly passionate game from this company because the executives are too greedy for their own good

A galactic conquest like in the older games ( battlefront 1 & 2) for the newer battlefront 2

I would have loved to see more factions and maps that have specific unique factions, for example mandalorians, umbarans, geonosians, and possibly old republic content.

I have played this game since it first came out and I still play it it saddens me that these ideas may never get used at all

what Id want added is melee suport characters like the manga gaurd and the clone assassins added. They'd each get access to a sidearm and would be able to sprint across the battlefield quickly. To balance this the ISB agent would get access to Agent Calus's transforming electro gun staff we see in rebels, and the rebels would get a dualwielding electro sticks kinda like what we see in the force unleashed on something like the purge troopers in jedi fallen order/survivor. Also Id want a better customization for weapons as well as more throable options for standard class units, as well as cosmetic options that can be used on the battlefield like night vision goggles, or helmet mounted binoculars and or target acquisition mods for helmets and hats.

Battlefront 3 is a cursed title. It never gets made for some reason even with the classics

I litterally just bought this game a week ago, and i thought th e bad news was the server is now permently down for online, nearly had heart attack

I was holding out hope for Ki-Adi-Mundi and Zam Wessel (a shapeshifting demolitionist sniper sounded wild to me...sorta like a bothan spy but one that could mimick enemy units for a time and sow discord into the enemy backlines just sounds super unique), the B-Wing, Z-95 and TIE Defender, playable Crab Droids and more Hunt modes, and if possible a mode that is like the speeder chase tutorial mission or at least a stage of a larger mode. As far as maps go, I had a thing for both Rhen Varr maps and Naboo Plains, but also going to new wild and environmentally hostile places like Gamorr and the dark claustrophobic dens of the lower or even just middle levels of Coruscant

I miss you and your updates man, they were the best moments to look forward to

What I misted wanted to see was a tv show based campaign (maybe as a second campaign not necessarily to replace the iden campaign) for example missions based off the geonosis arc, kamino, Felicia etc.

I would've wanted more jedi and villain characters from different eras and a few new maps. Honestly I think that fans can make a fantastic Battlefront 3 and take it by storm. The only thing is that with all the crazy stuff going on in the world right now it would be difficult for the fans and others joining them to make it would have a hard time keeping the revenue or even the rights cuz we all know what would happen. And its sad. But We will hope and pray for a battle front 3 that can deliver and have more resources put into it than battlefront 2. For the republic

I have been crying about Star Wars Battlefront 3 since Disney canceled the first one. 😭

It's fun hearing all the characters that were planned for the game. Especially the random side characters,.

Literally just bought the game

I thought the servers were getting shut down😭 You scared me bro

man it just makes me so sad seeing this. hearing the reasons ea cancelled the game pisses me off so much. genuinely i feel like if ea did announce a continuation of bf2 or even a bf3 they would make so much money which seems to be the execs' driving motive anyway. the treatment ea has given this game from launch and then to its cancellation baffles me. at least the devs got to do a bit of what they wanted before ea pulled the plug

Pretty sure the ahsoka dispute was because she wasn't in live action form when dice wanted to bring her out and it would've had a negative impact to the reception of having ahsoka finally appear in live action. It's not about them not wanting ahsoka to be everywhere, it's just them not wanting to reveal live action ahsoka through a video game.

What's up my bro finally you uploaded

You know what they should've done? Leave a small team that works on anything in their reach for the game as long as they have the time and money for it, but they should make "competitions" every few months about new units and maps that fans and modders can apply to and the winning mod gets to go into the game officially. This way the devs don't need to do much map and character work other than polishing and modders get exposure.

The final update always brings a tear to my heart a lot happend that day I remember logging on and my telling me and my siblings someone in my family passed away

The BF3 of my dreams would be something like this: 1) Similar campaign as it was in the OG BF2 from early 2000s 2) Dismemberment and gore, especially when it comes to actual LIGHTSABERS and destructive weaponry 3) Military-based class system: bring in medics, engineers etc, make them classes be actually useful from a strategic point of view 4) Vehicles to be manned like in the OG BF2, where players gathered together to man vehicles, do you remember the LAAT used to bring squad mates behind enemy lines? Or the AT-TE with players manning individual turrets? Just something like the SW mod for Squads. 5) No card system if it means into that limited array of "abilities", which shouldn't even considered such. 6) Limited grenades and ammo capacity and ability to pick up enemy weapons with a limited load of ammo and possibly grenades. 7) An horror-based mode, non canon, maybe using the project blackwing. 8) Destruction of environment and buildings. 9) Special leaders for their respective era: no Vader in Clone Wars, for example. 10) Engineers can deploy turrets, build fortifications and respawn points. 11) Officers can call in vehicles to be deployed.

God, Andor content would’ve been so much fun. Ferrix map, Aldhani, and Narkina-5 maps, Cassian and Syril as heroes, the MW-20 Bryar pistol as a weapon, Imperial Army skins, god, I would’ve paid good money for that.

I think any game devs who are tasked to make a battlefront game find themselves cursed because we have never once gotten a 3rd battle front.

Thank you Andrew, for reminding us of all that Battlefront 2 has had happen. I agree with you, I've had many tears for this game, such great potential that wasn't given the live it deserved at its end.

A minor OT update with some skins and more maps would've been dope. I would've killed for some more StormTrooper skins

There has to be a way to bring it back. As a community and as a fandom, we can't just let this happen to a game we hold so near and dear to our hearts. We can't just stand by, we have to rebel like the alliance. For the Republic!

I'm definitely gonna be crying😭

I think that somewhere there are general grievous voice lines revealing that there was Ashoka and padme

Pretty sure Imperial Agent has the face of Padme.

If I could add one thing to BFII, I would add Darth Jar Jar

I just realized wanted Mace Window.

idk if it's because I'm in OCE but it only ever puts me in empty lobbies waiting for 15+ players. Co-op or the other modes incorporating ai are the only things ever really available to me

I’m still waiting for an old Ben skin for obi wan

I feel like captain rex would not have been that hard, just use the dual wield from the original arc trooper so without the secondary fire and give him some grenades, health boost, some simple abilities

This is just painful…

Man imagine finally “completing” a game after you’ve released it then completely stopping support for it.

Man, I wish we got private matches. That kyber mod thing is annoying, every single thing you do you have to completely quit out and relaunch. It's so tedious.

Absolutely. I spent £80 on lootboxes around launch. I know not everyone can do this. But the inability for EA to monetise the game caused EA to pull support. If we, as a community had understood the financial implications and forgiven their avarice then we would probably still have a living game.

They could literally open it back up with a massive update and get half their fans back

I think the idea of generic paddiwans and Jedi knights as reinforcements are a really good idea for the Republic side they can also even it out for the separatists by adding grevouses guards

The Thumbnail: UBISOOOOOOOOFTT!!!

I wish respawn or someone just took charge of something, there's a huge Community even if the game is dead too try too lift it back from the grave it has so much Potential for people too tap into it but it's just sad that people don't make the battle front 2 live again or a battle front 3

they couldve made the umbara map a type of ffa or 6v6 (possibly higher player count) gamemode oriented thing similar to ewok hunt. adding pong krell or rex to command you to fight clone v clone until the end where you if you win, pong krell congratulates you, or if you lose rex or maybe even cody, tells you to cease fire. solves the limitation problems in my head idk

Battle front 3 had soooooooo much potential it could have been game of the year

I would never wish this on my worst enemy

Viewers: man geez RU-vid recs is boring lately Star Wars Content: *Hello There!!!*

If there was one thing that DICE would’ve added into Battlefront II, it would be The Mandalorian content. Imagine Din Djarin, Moff Gideon, and have Luke Skywalker’s hooded robe skin in the game.

I love battlefront 2 so much. Its sad they are not going to be doing anymore updates

it’ll always baffle my mind how they fumbled a billion dollar idea/company harder than a 10 foot dude missing a dunk on a 8 foot rim.

What was a punch in the groin for me in this, was the devs already knowing on mid original trilogy updates, that the game was already 6ft under.

We had BB8 and another ball droid as heroes… they most definitely prioritized the sequels over the prequels. Sure we got a bunch of clone trooper skins, but is that really worth it? Imagine if they had enough lightsaber heroes and villains to have a separate mode to the blaster heroes and villains.

Fuckin EA, I hate what they force down developers throats D:

To my recollection, one small detail you missed is that although Ahsokas animations were used for the ISB agent instead, which is true....the face was also repurposed from Padme - take a close look in the game menu, you'll see it.

that moment when Dennis revealed general grievous, obi wan, count dooku, and anakin skywalker was so great. Not to mention Droidekas and the new capital supremacy mode were a dream come true. Still honestly one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Battlefront II had that balance between feeling like you're just another soldier AND also giving you enough power to make you feel like you're making a huge difference in the battle. Games with super high player counts just end up losing what games like Battlefront had. triple A titles need to stop pushing better graphics and higher player counts, and instead focus on actually interesting and fair gameplay. Yeah, Battlefront II isn't perfect for balance but it's pretty darn good.

Given the fact that a lot of heroes and villains function so similary the best idea would be to make an character model that works an certain way, and then add the characters as skins Like make an jedi template and add all Jedi that works like that template as skins with voice lines included

man i was hoping that we could use stuff like at-st raider or certan unique variants

I have so many credits I have no idea what to use it for .

07:45 absolutely killed me 😂

Another problem is not all content is playable for single player, like galactic assault

Companies should be held Liable for pretending their games are Live Service only to cancel support. It's false advertising.

I think the issue with Ahsoka wss they didnt use a grandma for the motion capture to better match the life action Ahsoka in the show.

Thanks for your videos I started playing Lego star wars the skywalker saga and I'm working on my own videos about it 👍🏻

With the reinforcement jedi, just add detailed customisation with hairstyles/ different races, different robes and lightsabers so the player has their own Jedi, instead of having repetitive generic ones

I bet we're probably going to get another Battlefront 1 and 2 in like ten years time and then the franchise just gets cancelled once again.

It's funny. I came in with the Celebration Edition after the initial reception turned me off. I truly thought they would keep on adding a bit more but it wasn't meant to be apperently

Battlefront 3 is basically the Star Wars equivalent to half life 3
