Why Was Star Wars: Battlefront 2 SO AWESOME?! (Classic, 2005) 

The CIS were the good guys :'(

The Act Man act man did i hear the soundtrack of brazil in the background of i i love that movie and your now my favorite youtubed

PISS lol ya

This is bullshit Why dont i have 539584 likes yet

Probably because of EA

i was born in 2001 so obviously played it long after it came out. but i didnt care that it was old. it was fantastic and even then i was still amazed that you could do all these things. i couldnt believe someone actually made that. gta v is the only game that did the same for me. Think about how amazing gta online actually is (or could be if there werent so many hackers and shit) but that you can just do whatever and do heists with friends, drive around, go into each others apartments and cars. its that someone allowed you to actually do all those things with friends what makes these games so amazing.

Every game for me boiled down to "Oh you think you're big and bad cuz you have shields and a ton of fighters? FUCK YOU imma land inside and go full Rambo on your ass" ahh good times

@@JRTL20253 Literally same XD Land the shuttle in there, create a new spawn point and go ham on their internal systems haha

Yes and then infiltrate their reactor core and blow it up.

Let's goooo

A massive dub for the gaming industry.

Huh?

Fr, I haven’t played since I was like 4 or 5

this is where the fun begins

Instant action!

17 years since this came out, it's still among my 10 games all time

I thinking of getting it, but I wanna say how the EA bf2 makes every match feel the same

It's no coincidence that It was mainly a single player experience. This means the devs were focused on making the game fun to play, nothing more. EA only seems to care about lazy online games with no passion or soul created to monetize players. Despite every update, their fake Battlefront is still a boring game with no replay value. This became even more evident once It stopped receiving content.

@@UnpopularGuy332 games now a days release with no love and no hard work like they used to. Tell me how these old battlefront games have better replay value, than a game made 10 or more years later

Soccercrazyigboman Thats what it needs!

Yeah but it would not provide players with a sense of accomplishment

game was incredibly unbalanced though. It was easy to spam grenades, and often the game would bug and glitch because of shier amount of AI being stuck fighting in a hallway, spamming grenades and rocket launchers. Also the heros were basically dragonball characters with lightsabers, the only thing that can kill them are probably bombers, which were incredibly overpowered on ground missions. making it into a online game with 40 or even 64 players, would reek havoc on the frame rates, and on the gameplay balance.

88pie88 Never happened to me, on PC anyway

Well, if you had a computer running on windows XP in 2005, and even with(the then new) Opteron processor, you'll be running a 20fps at best.

If they re-activated the servers for the old games on Xbox Live and PSN, it'd be a top played game guaranteed

The one and only exotic Butters well ofc it’s a PS2 game

Have you guys played the PS2 Clone Wars game though? Pretty fun

That's what we were all basically hoping for with the reboots

Amen brother!

You forgot about how the gameplay. The old one didn't feel very good.

Total awesomeness I KNOW RIGHT! So pissed when I first played Battlefront 2015. You know, the sad thing is when I got rid of 2015 Battlefront I was legitimately joyed about it being gone. When my PS2 gave out and I had to sell my games to get my first Xbox 360, I didn't want to give away my Battlefront 2. I was so sad to see it go.

**Snowspeeder apears** OH NO

My reaction to both the original Battlefronts, both 1 and 2. Though I do think the first is a bit harder since the snowspeeders do guarantee a cabled death.

@@jacksimpson8529 We have taken their command post

*incoherent yelling*

Same exact thing for me. When you really think about it when this came out, online multiplayer was the exception not the rule. Playing online multiplayer on the PS2 was almost unheard of at my school and within my friend group.

it’s not the worst, but they missed out on what they couldve done.

DAMN IF YOU WERE BORN IN YEAR 1 DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU SAW JESUS ------:

the new battlefront 2 is really good now after the "updates"(key word) but it's payable and fun.

Coming here to mention I was born in '99 and played the FUCK out of battlefront 2 (easily 5000+ hours into the singleplayer alone as i didnt have internet). I recently got the new EA battlefront 2 on sale for thanksgiving and while it isn't NEARLY as good or has near as much content or gamemodes I do think they do a handful of things far better. For example I really do think heroes are handled MUCH better in EA BF2. THey feel still overwhelmingly strong to most troops but feel like they're just a 3rd tier of troops past the special troops rather than being unkillable gods(unless you're in a vehicle) like they felt in OG BF2. They also don't suffer from the time limit/constant health drain OG BF2 had which was my biggest issue with them in that game. I also think the star cards are incredibly thoughtful and had the game been able to be developed more (so basically if EA hadn't pulled DICE off the game) that it could have been a really good system that went really deep rather than how it seems to currently work where you kind of just run Bounty Hunter on every class to rush into higher level units. I also think the extra bling added to the game with the skins and emotes was a very welcome addition. If only EA didn't pull the plug on one of the potentially best games they could have ever had on their belt just to have that team then work on one of the biggest flops in recent gaming history.

My son was also born in '01. I built a second PC for network play side by side. Does that compensate for being a less than perfect dad? Maybe not but it made me a dad.

Wasting?

You didint waste nothing.

I still do lol

Back when games were published complete

@@jcntm4396 This game was actually never completed and rushed to finish to meet the deadline. Imagine how much better it could have been.

@@gamer10137 Yes... If you compare battlefront I and II you can see things really good from the first that didn't appear in the second. First of all lights and shadows effects, in the I are good in the II simply do no exist.. the possibility to jump on a x wing from the ground and move the battle in the air, in battlefront I you could also lay down, there was also a lot of maps that would have been great to have also in the II. I guess that maybe there were also a lot of hardware (and memory) limitations at the time, so to include space battle they may have erase lights effects and deleted some maps. By the way it was a shame they did not include Bespin Platform in Battlefront 2, that map was one of the best of ever.

By the way... when the game were made to have fun together physically in multiplayer and not only based on online mode. I never forgive EA to have totally ignored potentiality of Galactic conquest

@@Potandthekettle Gta san andreas was like that too a lot of features got removed cuz of console limitations at that time wouldn't be surprised if that was the case for star wars too

@@matthewmagnani2915it always was, hopefully now they’ll fix the clunky aiming and buggy A.I. those are the only downsides that I can see after all these years

It’s unfortunate that Dice with today's technology could have made the PERFECT Star Wars Battlefront game, but decided to go in the opposite direction than the fans. Just imagine Galactic Conquest, and the MASSIVE wars! Ironically EA mostly cares about money, but if they just did what the fans wanted, they would be swimming in it!

@@kyberghost3607 same also cause of the battlefield game

DaRumpleKing 100 BF2 2017 is actually absolutely amazing and Galactic Assault makes you bust a fat nut

@@helpfulapple3125 Galactic Assault is loads of fun, but I don't like how almost every map ends with choke points. That's why Geonosis is my favorite. I've got a feeling that if they do make a Battlefront 3, that they will probably bring back Galactic Conquest. Especially because of the success of Supremacy.

DaRumpleKing 100 I think EA said that a BF3 was unlikely (I’m not sure if they said this during the loot box fiasco or after the game’s redemption), but we can only hope for one.

That's how I'd always play man good times. Thermal detonators for the win

same but i used the transport ship and be like "excuse me while i just park this SPAWN POINT IN YOUR SHIP MWHAHAHAHAHAHAA"

matthew mac it's been like 10 years and I never thought to do that 😂😂

Games were still unfinished back then too

@@fraserduffy4576 unfinished how though? I don’t recall downloading DLC and Patches to fix a game. If it was released on the shelf for sale it was done. It may have been a garbage game or buggy but that’s what you got.

@@fossil-bit8439 kotor 2 is really good one that wasn't finished

@@django_freeman27 I mean, understand what people say about kotor 2. But they chose to cut stuff out from the story. I’m talking about a game that is what it is when you buy it, regardless of whether it sucks or not. My point is there was no patch work or DLC back then.

@@fraserduffy4576 pffft that is such a bad criticism even now when you compare games from the early 2000s to end 2000s, that's an understatement. Cyberpunkj 2077, Dead or Alive 6, and Fallout 76... yikes didn't age well at all. Considering what has come out in the last 5-7 years full of early access, micro-transactions and god for bit gambleboxes -- I'd still trade "this form of unfinished" as they have more value now.

underrated detail right here!

The Act Man also during space battles if you were the republic or empire you can land outside the shield and walk around parts of the ship in space and if you amwere lucky could jump to a nearby frigate 👌 loved this game

God Smash saying that they are gone right now, which they they are also which I said doesn't make it misinformed I know they have a possibility of being back but that has nothing to do with me saying it's gone "right now" the rest is a later issue

I loved that vehicle with the guns on the side and the front, and how even in speeders the sarlacc pit could still kill you, and how the tusken raiders actually played a vital part One of my best memories though, was on that map, you know how you spawn near the sandcrawler? near there, you got those rocks to go towards the base to the right of the sarlacc pit, there was Count Dooku in the midst of those rocks, surrounded by like 12 clones including me, all shooting at him, and he died it looked so cool

MCNT052 Killing Dooku felt like a movie moment right? I know how you feel. In that game, the heroes were legit hella scary. Blocking almost everything you threw at them. Walking death machines. I don't think, as a kid, I get killed a hero in that game

I wish we could've gone prone like we could in Battlefront 1, that and the OG darktrooper's Shotgun was miles better than the arc-caster, that piece of shit got me teamkilled soooo many times.

When you would shoot them with say, biggest gun I can think of, AT-AT main cannon or something, and they block it o_0 At that point I was really annoyed, it was my goal to kill them since they kept killing my guys and defying fairness (legit blocking from every angle is so not fair lol) So I would Shoot explosions near them and force them off edges land on them and run over them good times Oh, i loved the first time you got on top of an AT-AT as a rebel, and the other one tries to shoot you but ends up killing the one you're on XD

Arc gun was so underwhelming, but I played the death trooper anyway because of one reason You could use the jump pack full charge, at the point of your highest reach, de-activate then reactivate to launch yourself again mid air and go FLYING then pull out your pistol because Yeah

Bradley Whitehead same lol I almost died of laughter because his voice is relatable to the voice actor

that intro was on point, hella reminds me of rise of the Empire,

I would purposely kill my team on Kamino so I could be the last person standing and come in clutch. I got the traitor mark a lot
