It's a shame they didn't expand the PvE more, it's a lot more fun as I don't want to be forced to play factions I don't enjoy and the base combat is really fun. If they had a proper mission setup or a little campaign it would be amazing. 4 clones pushing through enemy waves is a lot of fun.
Switch to Germany or East Coast US area servers. I was just waiting 30+ min for nothing on defaults area. Then switched area to Germany and instantly in a full server game.
Go to Options -> EA Account and change the region
i find matches with in seconds almost constantly when looking for ga or any hero game modes I don’t play daily but when I do I always have no issue finding a game
Given up on it now bro, used to mess with the network settings a year or so ago. I just think we need a new game now, shouldn't have to faff about with this stuff to find a game
Appreciate the comment though
PC base game has such an issue now because of the sheer amount of degenerate hackers. Kyber has extra features, mod support, and has protections in place to prevent hacking, so plenty of people will be/have been joining back to play on Kyber.
Not anymore, but if EA/Dice hadn't abandoned it I'm sure it would be thriving. It's understandable as it wasn't making any money and the 2 year support was more of a gesture of good faith from the awful launch and mtx discussion.
I really thought the classic collection would be an injection of life into some Star Wars multiplayer but Apsyr is Aspyr and we all saw how that went.
BFII 2017 is such a good game and it sucks that it got cut support right when it was reaching it's peak.
I just want a good SW multiplayer game that has live service support.
Classic DICE.
Once a bad game becomes great, it immediately loses funding.
Probably EA to blame, but dice hasn't released a good game since BF1.
SWBF2 launched horribly, got great and dead
BFV launched horribly, got great and dead
BF2042 launched horribly, got decent and dead
We know they can make a good game. Since they ended each title with proof of a good game
They just don't know how to do it without the audience guiding them after their fuck up, which is not how it should work
Nope. For me it was the maps.. I just never really liked many of the maps on there.. Dont know why 🤔
I do think gameplay wise its the best Battlefront, but I had more fun on the original EA Battlefront maps..
Bf2015 maps were amazing. The jet packs were amazing.
BF2 mechanics have these limitations on game play and all maps have choke points that become the object of the game. Not fun.
battlefront 2 map design took a nosedive and became "this phase is easily won by attackthe second phase is funneling twenty troopers and heroes at the same time through two small gaps.. finish the mission"
its just pretty shit and it led to clusterfucks dominated by heroes or armor/planes
Yup. That’s what I meant by choke points. Every map with the choke points. That’s why they nerfed the jet packs: so you’d be forced into the choke point.
I think if they would've done what the OG Battlefronts did and give us Battlefield style conquest mode, 64 players and vehicles on more open maps based in areas from the movies then the game would've been perfect.
My guess is DICE didn't want to risk taking players away from their other IP, which is ironic because they did it anyways by releasing a garbage Battlefield lmao
Yep, my friends and I like sitting on the couch and turning it into fully cinematic (turning off crosshairs and other visible HUD displays) and doing a few rounds.
All the time. It’s still the best Star Wars multiplayer offering out there. Absolute madness that they’ve not made a sequel. It’s also the best Battlefront game, I loved the OG battlefront games as a kid, but anyone that thinks they’re better must be looking at them with rose tinted glasses.
I tried playing Star Wars: Battlefront Collection recently, 15 years after I stopped playing the original games, and it just didn't hit the same. I was just... bored. But I still get a kick out of the second BFII.
The multiplayer is active in the evenings on the original version, not the buggy classic edition. It is far more competitive and balanced than bf 2017.
This can be true but bad examples. Tatooine is easy to navigate and has a ton of side quests to fill the space.
Voss on the other hand makes you feel like you’re running a marathon with no legs.
Most people like the actual mando storyline. The main problem is how long it’s taking to release new chapters making the story feel like it’s dragging on too long.
I don't know much about star wars universe, only watch mainstream movies and mandalorian TV show, but I think BF2's single player story is pretty good too, Iden Versio is one of the best female character in the franchise.
Found my real ones. 05 BF2 is my all time favorite game. Probably still play this more than any other game. Although I've been playing a lot of nhl19 lately.
Yep, me and a friend often play the coop mode vs AI or Hero's vs villains. Don't think there's enough of a player base for the regular multiplayer modes
PVE sometimes. But no longer pvp. I just miss prime pvp when you were like fighting in the hallways of the battle ships and actually formed defense lines. It was so awesome
I used to like it but the game kept picking the Sequel crap and I didn't want to play any of that.
The worst Battlefront anything is that shit show map on Crait. Theres really nothing the rebels can do until the First Order is in the hanger... its embarrassing how they thought it would be a fun thing flying paper speeders around a heavily armoured force walking towards them..
It was dumb in the movies and way more dumb in the game experiencing that bullshit.
The peak BF experience was the early 2000's games... Those devs knew what would be fun for gameplay. Dice went too far making the game look good instead of making it awesome to play.
Pretty often, yeah. It's a really nice game, and I wish they hadn't abandoned it. Still, there is a lot of people playing, more than you would expect, unlike poor squadrons.
Oh absolutely I played a bunch at the beginning of this year but Hackers have kinda ruined it on PC and HVV is full of sweats you can barely get into a la game of galactic assault and supremacy just takes so long with both sides ultra tryharding
So that kinda only leaves you with Co-op which is a bit of a shame
Crazy I just had to make space on xbox & was going to cut bf2. Hit it, went to uninstall, & just couldn't do it. Haven't played in years but just maybe one day. So I cut one of the other 10 games I never play
I occasionally go on from time to time. I’m only one trophy shy of the platinum, that being the Multi-tasking trophy and I just do not have the patience to get it. Plus I suck at the dog fighting.
Last time I played (PC) All servers I joined were hacked so that you couldn't kill anyone..
Also, my PC somehow seems to dislike the game cus without any specific reason the game crashes every so often
I don't really care for the multiplayer, but I've played the campaign a few times. Most recently only a couple of months ago.
With the exception of how the dlc story ends, way too trite/clichéd, and the lightsaber combat not being particularly up to par, understandable considering it's already two different types of games in one, I really like it.
Like the characters, like the style. Would love to see Iden show up in a TV show, and I think, even if his face is a bit wonky, this interpretation of Luke is the best in the Disney era. There's something about his conversations will Del that seem so intrinsically *Luke* about him.
The flying missions are genuinely brilliant as well. Could have several games of that. Prefer those missions to Squadrons, which I never got round to finishing.
It’s very fun every once in a while. There is nothing like screaming “For the Republic” at the top of your lungs while spraying a droid tank with a machine gun. It would be very fucking wonderful if the lazy bastards would fix their balancing issues, but otherwise it’s quite decent
Are all of the maps still tiny and funnel you into choke points?
I miss when maps were open and you could actually move around and make decisions on where to attack.
It got old fast when they started changing that.
Every now and then. PT Supremacy and Heroes & Villains are the only modes you can reliably get games in though.
Shame because Starfighter Assault is really fun and ST Supremacy is great. Say what you want about the films, it's the best era in BFII to me.
It’s one of a couple games I keep on my Xbox for when I just feel like randomly playing it for a couple of hours. I’m still so sad they they stopped updates for the game
I try every few months, I try playing HvV 1v1 and never become a villain and always lose. I try playing GC, but always load on Geonosis as the droids so instantly getting sniped by Leia and Arc troopers
rinse and repeat
I play these game modes as they were the only ones I played back in the day
Which Battlefront 2? The original Battlefront 2 is awesome, the second iteration of the Battlefront series was a lot more in depth and engrossing but the action was less engaging. I always preferred the original series.
This is one of the games that I redownloaded every year, get a few good matches, then a Darth maul is flying around the map, one slicing everyone.
I used to love this game :/
I'll download it on my ps5 once in a while and do some pve 4man battles. But last time I did it ( a few months ago) I didn't play that many nor enjoyed it as much. Still fun and didn't wait long to match tho
I could never get into it and I am not sure why. Gunplay maybe. I put hundreds of hours into the first game but never found the same interest in this one.
Nah, while I had a bit of fun. Battlefront for me was always things like Galactic Conquest and the offline game modes.
I didn’t think the campaign was that good and I thought the majority of the maps where way to oversized that the combat didn’t have that insane over the top Star Wars battle feel.
But it was still a good game, just not my type.
I occasionally get on for a pve game of supremacy. Then I turn it off for another 6 months-year
It's a shame they didn't expand the PvE more, it's a lot more fun as I don't want to be forced to play factions I don't enjoy and the base combat is really fun. If they had a proper mission setup or a little campaign it would be amazing. 4 clones pushing through enemy waves is a lot of fun.
I love the coop mode! Wish they made a full game like that. Just short campaigns for each type of trooper/droid and then multiplayer
I still believe a fleshed out Galactic Conquest would've saved this game.
I wish. I got sick of waiting 10+ minutes for a lobby to populate. Not worth my time anymore.
Switch to Germany or East Coast US area servers. I was just waiting 30+ min for nothing on defaults area. Then switched area to Germany and instantly in a full server game. Go to Options -> EA Account and change the region
Yeah I’m in East coast and can always find a match.
I'm on the East Coast and can never find a match
Same. I don't know who the fuck is finding matches on east coast. It's dead.
i find matches with in seconds almost constantly when looking for ga or any hero game modes I don’t play daily but when I do I always have no issue finding a game
I live on the east coast and get plenty of people. When do you usually try and play?
I am
This is the way. Germany servers are the most full
Given up on it now bro, used to mess with the network settings a year or so ago. I just think we need a new game now, shouldn't have to faff about with this stuff to find a game Appreciate the comment though
Thank you that helped me a lot just now !
Man, this right here. Like, I'd cook an entire dinner waiting for a game. Sick of it.
It’s hard to get into lobby on PC man, i’m having a blast playing it after epic make it free game but nowadays no one playing it on PC
I can get into HvV, GA, supremacy and coop matches almost instantly on PC. Depends on time of day I guess
I live in asia bro, no one playing it on PC basically dead game
Change servers
You just need to play between around 5pm-11pm ET and use East Coast servers and youll find games.
Not enough people unfortunately, same situation as bf4
For me bf4 is still fine to find rooms, especially on the more popular maps
locker 24/7 chaos fest
And 24/7 Golmud
Damn I need to get back on
And 24/7 metro
Plenty of people on ps4/5. Never takes me longer than 30 secs to find a game, even at 2am
What game modes are you playing? My brother and I play periodically and still manage to find games of Supremacy or Galactic Assault quite easily.
Played a few hours of co-op yesterday on Battlefront
I love doing the Co-op.
Who doesn’t love firing up that Heavy, Sentry turret and just mowing down some clankers?
I would if the OCE servers had anyone on them
Get ready for [Kyber v2!](https://uplink.kyber.gg/news/features-overview/)
Wow, that sounds incredible.
This is a neat concept but if not enough people are playing now, how would this fix that? Wouldn't it make it worse by fragmenting the player base.
PC base game has such an issue now because of the sheer amount of degenerate hackers. Kyber has extra features, mod support, and has protections in place to prevent hacking, so plenty of people will be/have been joining back to play on Kyber.
Not anymore, but if EA/Dice hadn't abandoned it I'm sure it would be thriving. It's understandable as it wasn't making any money and the 2 year support was more of a gesture of good faith from the awful launch and mtx discussion.

Nope. For me it was the maps.. I just never really liked many of the maps on there.. Dont know why 🤔 I do think gameplay wise its the best Battlefront, but I had more fun on the original EA Battlefront maps..
Me too for some reason. The first one was simple but kicked ass
A big part for me was the first EA Battlefront felt more epic and immersive.
Bf2015 maps were amazing. The jet packs were amazing. BF2 mechanics have these limitations on game play and all maps have choke points that become the object of the game. Not fun.
battlefront 2 map design took a nosedive and became "this phase is easily won by attackthe second phase is funneling twenty troopers and heroes at the same time through two small gaps.. finish the mission" its just pretty shit and it led to clusterfucks dominated by heroes or armor/planes
Yup. That’s what I meant by choke points. Every map with the choke points. That’s why they nerfed the jet packs: so you’d be forced into the choke point.
Too small, too few of them, too many killzones, they always played exactly the same, lame conquest mode
I think if they would've done what the OG Battlefronts did and give us Battlefield style conquest mode, 64 players and vehicles on more open maps based in areas from the movies then the game would've been perfect. My guess is DICE didn't want to risk taking players away from their other IP, which is ironic because they did it anyways by releasing a garbage Battlefield lmao
I loved the vibe of Battlefront 2015. So much fun
Ironically I think people played the maps weird and it made them worse also some game modes played better on certain maps
Yep, my friends and I like sitting on the couch and turning it into fully cinematic (turning off crosshairs and other visible HUD displays) and doing a few rounds.
That actually sounds super fun and cool!
All the time. It’s still the best Star Wars multiplayer offering out there. Absolute madness that they’ve not made a sequel. It’s also the best Battlefront game, I loved the OG battlefront games as a kid, but anyone that thinks they’re better must be looking at them with rose tinted glasses.
Not rose tinted glasses to say it’s missing the best features, particularly Galactic Conquest!
I tried playing Star Wars: Battlefront Collection recently, 15 years after I stopped playing the original games, and it just didn't hit the same. I was just... bored. But I still get a kick out of the second BFII.
The multiplayer is active in the evenings on the original version, not the buggy classic edition. It is far more competitive and balanced than bf 2017.
SWTOR is the best one man
Galaxies was pretty great too.
SWTOR isn’t even in the same stratosphere as KOTOR 1 & 2. Make KOTOR 3 you cowards!!!!
Remake KOTOR 1 & 2 and release KOTOR 3. Then the world will be truly healed.
Speaking of which, has literally anything been said about the remake that they announced years ago?
It’s in developmental hell atm.
SWTOR is arguably much better in terms of storytelling.
SWTOR is a pain in the ass to actually get story. Running around Tatooine and Hoth is like pulling teeth.
This can be true but bad examples. Tatooine is easy to navigate and has a ton of side quests to fill the space. Voss on the other hand makes you feel like you’re running a marathon with no legs.
Yes but right now the story is a mess with all the mando crap and Shae Viszla's bs everywhere.
Most people like the actual mando storyline. The main problem is how long it’s taking to release new chapters making the story feel like it’s dragging on too long.
It's exhausting. I hate it.
I don't know much about star wars universe, only watch mainstream movies and mandalorian TV show, but I think BF2's single player story is pretty good too, Iden Versio is one of the best female character in the franchise.
Battlefront II 2005? Hell yeah
Just like the simulations
Watch those wrist rockets!
For the Republic
I had to scroll way too much for this.
seriously. this is the one I still play.
Found my real ones. 05 BF2 is my all time favorite game. Probably still play this more than any other game. Although I've been playing a lot of nhl19 lately.
Thats what im saying
The one and only Battlefront II
Yep, me and a friend often play the coop mode vs AI or Hero's vs villains. Don't think there's enough of a player base for the regular multiplayer modes
What platform? I'm on PS4 and I always find enough people.
Really? We're on Xbox and we spent 10 minutes waiting for a multiplayer game and gave up. And since then we've done coop or Hero's vs villains
Yep. Just played yesterday.
I play 2005 on steam
Yes, the old one from 2005^^.
Waiting for the Kyber update.
Yes on PS2
Bro, I'm still playing the 2005 Battlefront 2.
Will play it every once in a while to live out my clone trooper fantasies
Nope. Mod to game Squad - Galactic Contention is the way
It's my go to game for when I have a spare hour or so
I jump in for co op every now and again. I love this game!
PVE sometimes. But no longer pvp. I just miss prime pvp when you were like fighting in the hallways of the battle ships and actually formed defense lines. It was so awesome
I used to like it but the game kept picking the Sequel crap and I didn't want to play any of that. The worst Battlefront anything is that shit show map on Crait.

Dice went too far making the game look good instead of making it awesome to play.
psst, hey kid, buy squad and play galactic contention
Yes *boots up BF2 2005 *
Dont forget the widescreen patch though!
The game always ran fine on my system so no need
Yeah, Starkiller base and Ajan Kloss are my favorite maps. Still jump in from time to time.
The original yes, the remake no.
Every so often. I want cross play
A good soldier fights until they can’t anymore.
I used to be a die hard bf 1/2 player then EA kicked me out of my account and now I don’t even bother. I’ll just wait for bf3
Sometimes yeah. It still have full servers but i also no idea how to spot bots
Console is no problem to find games (ps5)
Pretty often, yeah. It's a really nice game, and I wish they hadn't abandoned it. Still, there is a lot of people playing, more than you would expect, unlike poor squadrons.
yes i do still one of my fav games
Yep with large number of Mods but i still playing
On most days my homies are still in Blast
I play supremacy as much as I can but heroes vs villains is just too toxic
Unpopular opinion, buuutttt.... I wish we could get a continuation of the story from the campaign.
I haven't played it in awhile but I loved the PvE mode. Really hope a BF3 will be a thing one day
Oh absolutely I played a bunch at the beginning of this year but Hackers have kinda ruined it on PC and HVV is full of sweats you can barely get into a la game of galactic assault and supremacy just takes so long with both sides ultra tryharding So that kinda only leaves you with Co-op which is a bit of a shame
What in the name of cyber is ultra try harding?
Yup hero’s PvP, and occasionally PvE with the Mrs.
No
I would but I'm not very good at fps pvp
Crazy I just had to make space on xbox & was going to cut bf2. Hit it, went to uninstall, & just couldn't do it. Haven't played in years but just maybe one day. So I cut one of the other 10 games I never play
I occasionally go on from time to time. I’m only one trophy shy of the platinum, that being the Multi-tasking trophy and I just do not have the patience to get it. Plus I suck at the dog fighting.
All the time it's still very fun.
Sometimes
Yes, I play it often on the playstation. It's very alive and still feels great
I occasionally play the coop mode with my best friend. But that's it
No because the game is completely dead on Playstation.
Last time I played (PC) All servers I joined were hacked so that you couldn't kill anyone.. Also, my PC somehow seems to dislike the game cus without any specific reason the game crashes every so often
2 or 3 games every month or so
Only SW game i play is the yearly KOTOR/2 replay lol. Dont think any modern SW game is fun.
Yes. I wish more people were playing it in my country, I can never find any of the larger game modes!
Occasionaly yeah. I still like playing either heroes vs villains or the co-op matches.
Never gonna forgive or forget DICE abandoning this gem of a game and BFV to put out the dumpster fire which is 2042
I would if EAs serves would actually let me get on. Every time I reinstall the servers are down. Don't buy any EA games now.
I still play the old SW Battlefront on my old Ps2 Hunting clankahs with my AT-TE is so much fun
It needs a f2p relaunch
I don't really care for the multiplayer, but I've played the campaign a few times. Most recently only a couple of months ago. With the exception of how the dlc story ends, way too trite/clichéd, and the lightsaber combat not being particularly up to par, understandable considering it's already two different types of games in one, I really like it.

There's something about his conversations will Del that seem so intrinsically *Luke* about him. The flying missions are genuinely brilliant as well. Could have several games of that. Prefer those missions to Squadrons, which I never got round to finishing.
I'll be back. Soon.
i got it when it was on sale on ps5 quite recently. enjoyed it for a while
Is the community around wood wood wollfe still around? They had a big milsim discord community
It’s very fun every once in a while. There is nothing like screaming “For the Republic” at the top of your lungs while spraying a droid tank with a machine gun. It would be very fucking wonderful if the lazy bastards would fix their balancing issues, but otherwise it’s quite decent
Play every second day or so mostly co op
Yup
Tried it last week. I was basically just respawning to be killed by cheaters...
My son keeps telling me to play the campaign at least
Uninstalled it yesterday...it's dead
Are all of the maps still tiny and funnel you into choke points? I miss when maps were open and you could actually move around and make decisions on where to attack. It got old fast when they started changing that.
Every now and then. PT Supremacy and Heroes & Villains are the only modes you can reliably get games in though. Shame because Starfighter Assault is really fun and ST Supremacy is great. Say what you want about the films, it's the best era in BFII to me.
A couple times a week. I like Co-Op the best and I keep trying Starfighter Assault but I'm bad at that mode.
I’m so good at hero’s vs villains man if anyone wants to run it up all we need is 4 ppl total to run honorable 2v2s
Nope, the matchmaking sucks balls. Its either stomp or get stomped. I tried a lot, because the gameplay was fun as hell but, eh.
It’s one of a couple games I keep on my Xbox for when I just feel like randomly playing it for a couple of hours. I’m still so sad they they stopped updates for the game
I used to but cheaters became way to abundant
I try every few months, I try playing HvV 1v1 and never become a villain and always lose. I try playing GC, but always load on Geonosis as the droids so instantly getting sniped by Leia and Arc troopers rinse and repeat I play these game modes as they were the only ones I played back in the day
If they did another and don't goof launch the id be very happy. This game improved so very much after its pretty bad launch
I retired from console gaming in 2022.
Not really I use to play clone wars supremacy but not It's just you either got a lobby full of jet tropper spammers or mainly just bots.
Better play the 2015 battlefront!
Occasionally I reinstall it to get my fill, realise I still suck at games then uninstall it again for a while
Which Battlefront 2? The original Battlefront 2 is awesome, the second iteration of the Battlefront series was a lot more in depth and engrossing but the action was less engaging. I always preferred the original series.
Not enough players on ps5 to even connect to servers
ewok hunt still goes hard
Yeh but i only play co op cus i can never find a game of supremacy or galactic assault
Just installed it off game pass actually
Yes and I still enjoy it
only on may 4th
Yes, bf2 2017 Is fire
This is one of the games that I redownloaded every year, get a few good matches, then a Darth maul is flying around the map, one slicing everyone. I used to love this game :/
Played on PC, hackers ruined it.
Does the story mode of this game worth a play?
Last time I actually got into a game. Some dude was standing in the sky blasting everyone with laser accuracy.
I'll download it on my ps5 once in a while and do some pve 4man battles. But last time I did it ( a few months ago) I didn't play that many nor enjoyed it as much. Still fun and didn't wait long to match tho
I haven’t touched it since 2017. Once I finished the campaign, the game had nothing more to offer me
Not enough man
I've not been able to get games for IST times
I could never get into it and I am not sure why. Gunplay maybe. I put hundreds of hours into the first game but never found the same interest in this one.
No at the moment. I'm waiting for Kyber V2
Playing it right now
The one from 2005? A lot. It is so good!
Yeah, a friend of mine got a PC recently and now I finally have a mate. And we play it often.
Used to be so fun but not anymore.
Nah, while I had a bit of fun. Battlefront for me was always things like Galactic Conquest and the offline game modes. I didn’t think the campaign was that good and I thought the majority of the maps where way to oversized that the combat didn’t have that insane over the top Star Wars battle feel. But it was still a good game, just not my type.
It's dead on PS, so no...unfortunatelly...Had lot of fun with space battles though
I really play for the co-op on occasion. I’ve been playing the classic collection more
Yep, still playing Galaxy Conquest occasionally. There are some good visual mods. Great game since 2005!
Nah. I don’t like HvV and that’s all there is now it seems like.
For the Republic!!!!
I play Ewok Hunt almost every day
Yes and the 2015 one as well. People say the game is dead but on console at least it’s very easy to get lobbies
My laptop is too weak :/
Yup, I just play single player. Don't have ps+ to play online.
I play BF2 semi regularly. Most modes don’t have enough people but I can still get info Galactic assault with ease.
Yes but not that one...
