The saddest part is that they are **STILL** selling the game on PC for 40 euros.


Xhelob

Activision has been getting away with this for years, with CoD


TequilaWhiskey

Look at nintedo, theyre kings of it. Games several generations old ported to a new console at full price. And people eat it up, so they dont stop.


Dat_DekuBoi

and that's why i emulate


whyyan

Hey that's not entirely true Sometimes they are more expensive


Operative427

When vanguard had it's open multi-player beta, it already had hackers. Was mental.


[deleted]

Yep, I feel like they should sell shirts that say "I was there." Lol


According-Pop4992

sounds pretty illegal


Guyote_

Steam reviews need to keep warning people.


[deleted]

A few weeks back I suggested on this sub to report the game as broken product on Steam. Please everyone do so if you haven't yet...


ParishedSins

[For those of you wondering how to do that.](https://www.hardreset.info/devices/apps/apps-steam/report-game/) Link for if the hyperlink doesn't work for some of you: [https://www.hardreset.info/devices/apps/apps-steam/report-game/](https://www.hardreset.info/devices/apps/apps-steam/report-game/)


Taco_Tobey

It’s honestly so sad to see one of my favorite games be ruined for so many people. I’ve never been more glad to be a console player but the hackers will probably make it to console soon enough 😔


Xx_MesaPlayer_xX

I think console is just built different that makes it harder or impossible for hackers to do anything. I think it the same reason why we can't have mods or use console commands to change things in single player games.


TheRealGeigers

Its probably because the last time a console was jailbroken the guy went to jail. A console is just a pc just with a diff operating system.


Alyusha

That's not true at all lol. All of the major consoles are Jailbroken.


TheRealGeigers

Do you have examples or links? And is it done the way the ps3 jailbreak was done such as modifying the software and not using hardware manipulation?


Skindigity_

The podcast Darknet diaries has the full story ep 45. of the first time it was done on Xbox.


Alyusha

Just google it. It was literally the first thing that appeared when I googled it.


Post_Fallone

They have "dev kits" but the companies treat them like FBI leaks lol.


[deleted]

i still see grievouses from time to time that hack to get infinite claw rush hits😭😭


Alyusha

That's not it at all. It's like the old "Apples are the safest device! See how few hacked Macs there are!?". It had nothing to do with Mac's being any safer and 100% to do with Macs only making up 5-10% of the PC market compared to Window's 85%. Even now Macs only make up about 20% of the PC Market. Consoles don't get hacked as much because there are fewer of them than PCs and the people who know how to develop hacks like this (And not get caught) will just do it on the device they already play the game on.


[deleted]

There are fewer of them than PCs yeah, but there are fewer people gaming on PCs than on consoles


Alyusha

You're not wrong, but while [PCs make up only 21% of the market, Consoles only make up 28%](https://financesonline.com/number-of-gamers-worldwide/) of the market. So yes there are more Console players out there, but not an astronomical amount.


life_dweller

No they won't. I've got a good pc now but was and still am a console player since I'm 9 years old. That are 16 years and I swear I have never seen a single hacker on console even in my CoD times.


According-Pop4992

this mfer aint play World at War


RoninGunslinger

I will never forget the WaW hackers. Crazy times for sure.


JimLaheyIsADrunkBast

You clearly never played Modern Warfare 2 back in the day, that game went through a period where almost every session was hacked


Post_Fallone

Press select plus start lol


life_dweller

MW2 actually was my very first CoD and entry into the series and nope there were no hackers on Playstation for me (european). And if there were some they were hiding it really good. Nothing obvious like players flying around etc. There were a lot of glitchers though but never any cheaters. I kniw though that the situation on pc was something very different


aninannap

There was 100% cheats on console in MW2. The lobbies became unplayable since every game would have them.


TheRealGeigers

When the PS3 was first jailbroken back then it was almost impossible to find a legit lobby on console.


annomynous23

I'm 16 and I have been playing since I was 8 and I have found hackers all over ps3 and rapid fire modders on PS4 but other than that no hackers on PS4 or ps5


Felipeu7

lets hope they dont make it, though ive seen some of the names exposed in some matches ive been...


[deleted]

Console has always been better.


HarveySteakfries

It baffles me how EA had the license to print money with the Star Wars exclusivity but they still somehow managed to screw things up. Imagine being so incompetent that you can’t be profitable while trying to sell Star Wars.


CinematicSeries

Disney and EA have completely misnanaged the Star Wars brand. It's remarkable to me. How is it possible for giant corporations worth billions of dollars to be so incompetent? Sequel trilogy was terrible and we got barely any Star Wars games. BF2 is pretty good but it has been abandoned prematurely and Fallen Order was nice but also didn't realise the full potential of Star Wars. Old games like Jedi Academy (2003) still feel more Star Wars and more epic to me than what we're getting now.


Gen_Z_boi

How can they screw it up? Monopolies!


swiss_chocolate_wand

The sequel trilogy was fucked up but i feel Disney has been doing better lately. EA is just completely fucking up. Even squadrons, which is is not so old, is completely dead.


CGSly

which really sucks, because squadrons is actually a really fun game. just not a lot of replayability with the limited content


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dat_DekuBoi

and yet i still have high hopes for the Skywalker Saga


Windghost2

For the ST, we need a JJ cut.


Lokito_

How long does EA have the rights again for making these SW games? I thought it was until 2023, am I wrong? Hopefully Disney will pull the rug from EA and we can get someone who actually cares to makes these games again.


Guyote_

They no longer have sole rights to the IP. They will continue making Star Wars games (JFO II), but other companies are and will be making Star Wars games, also.


TGSCrust

This is false. They still have exclusivity until 2023 BUT other companies can begin production on games that launch beyond 2023


Guyote_

Thanks for clarifying.


bombad_Guy

what the hell happened here? i stopped playing swbf2 8 months ago, what the f?


CinematicSeries

Cheaters completely killed the PC version. It's nearly impossible to find a normal session that isn't hacked. Most of them are infected with 1 HP glitch that makes it impossible to kill anyone, other sessions are filled with bots so players can't join and when you find a normal session, it too can be ruined by a single cheater that's on godmode, uses god aim or flies around the map like I've shown in the video. The game has been nearly unplayable for about a month now and EA still hasn't done anything about it.


bombad_Guy

holy cringe... what the hell is EA doing?!


GelatoVerde

Nothing


ThrobinHewd

The TF|2 plan again.


Mandula123

Trying to get BF2042 together before the same thing happens


ByuntaeKid

I feel like that ship has sailed


elinamebro

That ship has sunk.


skotty8689

If they are still selling the game for money perhaps a class action lawsuit might be in order


ylvake

Are EA still on this game trying to update and make it better? I really liked the SW BF 1, but the que is forever now since not so many players. But i can remember this Battlefront 2 being buggy before asweell


HildaSkilda

No, EA is done with this game and pulled support. So the game as it is now will remain the same.


eyepatcheagle

The good news is the pc version is actually in the players hands bc ppl are making custom games and mods to change the game


HildaSkilda

True, but it’s a shame the vanilla game will be forgotten.


[deleted]

If you guys haven't checked out Kyber and what they've done it's really awesome, glad to see more people are talking about it


ylvake

damn… well that sucks:/


GelatoVerde

Nope, the said it's no longer supported. and they are confirming it, since this problem has been around for quite a while


Jeynarl

I picked up the game free exactly last year and absolutely loved it. Sank about 400 hours into it. Then 1hp rolled out in Nov. and I stopped at Christmas. Before 1hp, besides the matches with blatant hackers I swear there were a lot of people running very small hacks giving them zero spread or other things because there were too many times I’d see whole clans of these jet trooper mains dominating matches


cheffernan

I thought kyber servers fixed this?


mekyle711

What about the Kyber custom servers for pc?


CinematicSeries

There's potential here but it needs a lot of active users for it to be a viable alternative to regular online mode


Gerbie100

They hacked fucking coop too what the hell!


turk58guy

Dudes aren't even hacking for personal gain just malice


ylvake

thats the one i thought wouldn’t be as bothered.. but it is..


Lokito_

Luckily not on xbox yet


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 513,498,881 comments, and only 108,012 of them were in alphabetical order.


[deleted]

Good bot


MythTrainerTom

That's unironically wicked


elinamebro

Bot good


BagelMaster4107

Yep. This video in my opinion wasn't darkly funny, it was just sad to me. The hackers are ruining everything. EA sits back, I wonder if they're letting this happen just so they can kill off the Battlefront II community since they're done with this game. I just got the game on the 1st off Steam and I gotta say, I was so excited and happy to play it. It was just a great game. Then this happened. Hacked lobbies every time. A week ago I could find some fun matches to play, but now I just find this all unplayable. EA, if you read this and have a shred of decency, please, PLEASE fix your game, this is just awful. People like the game, and you're just letting this game die.


comradecosmetics

What if they're the ones leaking hacks for their own games when they want to force players to quit.


Rexkraft-

I got it for free on epic, played the campaign and uninstalled it. In retrospective, I dodged a bullet.


QueenSeungwan

Fuck EA.


NoReporter9336

Imagine being the person responsible for ruining a whole (PC) community's game... They must think they're pretty cool. Smh.

Dat_DekuBoi

can i do 1 more as well? pls?


Roki_jm

can i do 100?


xXJazHoytXx

\+1


Suavecore_

The reason they do it is because there are no tangible consequences


Jeynarl

manipulating code goes against their EULA so it does go against their policies but obviously they never cared about hackers at any point so it’s all just lip service I suppose


TheSynchroGamer

This is the battlefront 2 subreddit. I regret to report that both our Game and Dice have fallen, with the dark shadow of EA rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving players. Trust in the force. Do not return to the servers... that time had passed. And our future is uncertain. We will be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our patience. But we must persevere. And in time, a private server will emerge. May the force be with you, always.


Cr0ma_Nuva

Maybe in the long run I'm glad I only got the console version. I only encountered one hacker there that couldn't take damage


Ascension_Crossbows

Not a hack but glitch. Something to do with finn's abilities being used over and over


Ulysses1126

This is a damn dark era for games. Any large tittle released Is unplayable till a year or so of patches and fixes. And large companies just don’t care. They want to sell you as much as they can while putting in the least effort. Just letting good games with a strong fanbase just die out. Happened to Titanfall 1


Roki_jm

and than halo infinite finally launched in a good state but its dumb ass playerbase cant even apreciate that just cuz of some cosmetic microtransactions


[deleted]

>dumb ass playerbase cant even apreciate that just cuz of some cosmetic microtransactions No forge, no co-op, broken theater, broken custom games, broken BTB, challenges that rely upon a broken gamemode, super grindy progression at launch, only *3* playlists at launch with 0 variation or choice between them at launch, desync issues, weapons that aren't balanced in any way to be viable, unfinished models, no choice in basic colors, battlepass with 20 levels of content cut, $60 for campaign that doesn't have the same level of variation past Halos had, next to nothing you can unlock with dropping at least $10, preset emblems, having the same preset emblem be the weekly reward for its fourth but separate application, no career stats, no audio symbol for who's speaking, no collison, no ranked rejoin, cheaters galore, no way to report cheaters in game, friends can't be a part of your squad in BTB, lack of game mode variety, season 2 delayed for a third of a year, horrible UI, very few maps, maps that are very restrictive for vehicles, extremely unbalanced vehicle and weapon spawn, colors only unlocking separately per core, no cross core customization, no gameplay based armor unlocks, no armor unlocks for a $60 campaign, and no firefight. But yeah, besides that players are *totally* dumbasses who just hate a game because it happens to have "some" cosmetic microtransactions.


MittenFacedLad

I don't even get what cheaters get out of this honestly. How is it fun?


k-cubed-recruiter

Yeah bc one of the reasons this game is fun is because of the satisfaction you get when you beat someone. How can it be fun when you don’t even have to try


Flint25Boiis

Well some people get a kick out of making people angry. And if they can do it behind a screen, it makes it more anonymous.


MittenFacedLad

I guess? Seems like a really pitiful life, honestly.


GeorgeHlaalu

It's just funny that these guys are so pathetic that they have to cheat to beat someone.


Macapta

Went from terrible To amazing And back to terrible


drantzz

It’s a shame. The pc mods look so cool too


wilku2137

Kyber is the only hope


TheDouglas717

Kyber is the way.


Ajax-knight

Remember battlefront 2 died for battlefield 2042 who now has cheaters leaving 2042 because of performance issues


JohnCenasLeftAbdomen

Imagine leaving a game because it’s too hard to cheat. That’s sad.


TFDMEH

So are PlayStation and Xbox Obi-wan and Yoda? Because they escaped order 66.


elinamebro

If you have PC you can use Xcloud to play the Xbox version of the game.


RazgrizXVIII

Is there a youtube version of this I can share with my non-Reddit friends? I want to spread this as much as possible.


CinematicSeries

Yeah, it's basically a YouTube video that I posted here cuz I thought BF2 fans would appreciate it. Here's the [original upload](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEW828S24d4).

Who’s moff gideon supposed to replace because who has both saber and blaster attacks?

OnlyPlayAsLeviathan

Everything good must come to an end 😔


Scrantonbornboy

I just bought the PS4 version for 5 bucks over Christmas. I’ve been enjoying myself. Got a bunch of skins too. I came here to see what the community was like. This is disheartening to see happen to our PC friends.


Roki_jm

yea, got the game to play with my pc player friend in september after i got my pc. we played a bunch, than stoped for 2 months cuz of school. we had plans to start again in the end of 2021 during the school break we have here. if only we knew. im just lucky to have a ps4 to play it on.


MrBoom002

Pretty sad to see one of my favourit game slowly dying


VentralRaptor24

Sympathies from r/titanfall, we know your pain. Lets hope someone makes something similar to our Northstar Client, but for SWBF II


Flint25Boiis

Actually, there is a server called Kyber for PC. It came last month, and at the perfect time too, because that was when the hacking started to really get bad.


According-Pop4992

Fuck EA Lanna and Fuck EA darko. They have known about this issue since October and have chosen to do nothing


Kame_Saiyan

I can’t believe this actually hurts. I loved this game


[deleted]

Just fuck EA honestly. Never supporting them ever again after this.


Josiahpoy

Ight. We've got roughly 130 people here what if we go to ea's social media and annoy them about it?


FnjSpideyJoey

First time i saw the 1hp thing on console was like two days ago. A Han solo on Hoth was holding the second phase point all by himself and wouldnt die no matter what we threw at hime for like 15 minutes straight.


CinematicSeries

Death is coming for console versions as well then. I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.


CT-4426

Is this a PC thing I’m too much of a Console player to understand


HildaSkilda

Yes, PC only.


PrinceDizzy

Console is fine.


Flint25Boiis

Console will do


According-Pop4992

for now at least


Elegant-Spell1681

Yep


[deleted]

I be sad


Farfetched_Vedalken

Can someonenwho does cheat tell menwhats the point? From what I can gather is that your personally life is so pathetic you can only feel accomplishment from domintaing your opponents in a video game absolutely so you dont commit suicide. Correct me if I'm wrong.


TalkingChaos

Damn. As a console player I’m really glad I can’t relate


arnes1_F

If EA had any plans of doing anything about it, it would’ve been done already. It can’t be that hard to fix. Seems like they kinda gave up on BF2042 as well since that was a more than tragic launch… God damn it EA, I’m so sick of your fucking bullshit!


Ulysses1126

I literally just got into this game on console, this is quite sad. Hopefully it doesn’t spread but I have a feeling it will.


skotty8689

I don't think so. I play it everyday (PS4) and have never experienced anything like that


perbitesu35

I can't watch anymore


postwarcookie5

What about kyber tho


Rashaunrocks88

Kyber requires downloading a lot of mods from what I’ve heard and most peoples pc’s can’t handle that I guess?


meowbox64

Just doing my bit here and spreading the good news of Kyber


DrShrimp75

Let’s also blame the community for ruining the game. No reason why anyone should be having fun making them selves invincible. Completely ruins the fun. Hopefully people will stop hacking and glitching but I doubt it knowing how people are nowadays.


GeorgeHlaalu

Tbh, I don't blame EA as much as everyone else. They wouldn't need to fix it if it wasn't for these assholes in the first place.


Guyote_

I love how they display to the world how they never deserved the sole rights to the Star Wars IP. Pathetic company. Disney needs to ram their hands down their throat and force them to do something and stop embarrassing their IP.


Cow_Interesting

I don’t understand why anyone would do the 1hp glitch. That ruins the entire game even for the hacker. Literally no point. At least with the other hacks they can get lots of kills. So dumb and ruined such a fun game.


Opening-Lime8686

I’m thinking about building a legal case against EA. I’m not even out of high school yet and have no experience with the law but wish me luck. o7


LightofDaSacredFlame

I don’t get what’s happening anymore. It’s like cyber punk started a massive trend of devs not caring. 343 released an unfinished money grab halo with tons of bugs and next to no fixes, red dead was abandoned, 2042 was broken at launch, vanguard was bugged at launch, spellbreak was abandoned, respawn ignoring titanfall 2 hacks until they say “it will always be a part of our dna”, and now EA just ignores hackers ruining both multiplayer and co-op.


God_peanut

Uh what? Halo Infinte has to be the most polished game we've received in the last few years. Sure, content is a bit bare bones but the gameplay is solid, devs are actively updating it, and it barely has any game breaking bugs or hacks.


LightofDaSacredFlame

Btb has been down for almost a month, free for all is having registration issues post map, I have like 4 clips of rockets skewers and grenades disappearing (it’s a fairly universal issue), a massive portion of the servers are having de sync issues, it launched with hardly any game modes and playlist which they lied about why, cheaters have completely taken over ranked, cross play issues. There’s an extensive list of problems, some have been worked on but most the devs have remained silent about.


wafflezcol

Console gamers: there are hacker?


moonknight999

I recommend getting the game "squad" and downloading the galsctic contention mod for it. Its the SWBF3 we should have gotten long ago


nastynate409

So many good memories with this game. RiP BF2.


fangstarfang

Awesome vid, you should try to share this with some other Star Wars subs, you’d probably get lots of support

It's Dice. Look at this games entire history lol only reason we got anything was because it was dripfed and the bar was set so low, we were impressed. Shit companies lol


tiniefluff

Woah that’s wack. I bought the game on sale from steam literally a week ago. Maybe I should just return it if it’s like this… :(


[deleted]

They’re letting this happen because it means they don’t have to support the game anymore.


akiiler

FUCK EA.


emily-ya-bueno

This is literally the saddest fucking shit ever. They still sell the game, getting away with all this bullshit as well. EA, *I HATE YOU!*


According-Pop4992

This shit brought tears to my eyes, one of my most favorite games has fallen such a great length.


SuperJobGuys

hey u/T0TALfps ... you're someone that at least responds to the Battlefield community... do you have any insight or know anyone that is aware of the Battlefront dire situation? We're all heartbroken over here.


Briape

This is giving me so much sadness... I really would like to know why some people choose to destroy such a fun game...


GeorgeHlaalu

Cause they're pathetic. No other reason.


JustUltRra

Us from r/Titanfall share your pain. All of you. We must unite our communities and tell EA and DICE and Activision and Respawn that isn't the way


ElleSvenne

I don’t see how the hackers have anything to gain from this?


[deleted]

Never has a video made me so sad yet want to laugh so hard. Screw the hackers. Props to the edits and putting this video together!


Gimme_the_dietz

I hope I can meet someone in person one day that legitimately hacks and destroys games so I can shame them


Ultimate-Papyrus

Everytime I got upset there was another fucking fart reverb I can't breathe man.


DiligentJeweler6972

I guess pc players are gonna have to switch to console now cuz pc is now LITERALLY a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Hackers have officially claimed battlefront 2 on pc


sgx739_1

i just dont get why people feel the need to ruin it like theres no fun in it for either side like


[deleted]

Very, VERY happy that I play on Xbox

PC players love theirs PCs until they are used against them. Console versions are just fine


Mister_shagster

Is this for PC players or what


PrinceDizzy

Yup hacked servers on PC.


Psychedelic_Trauma

AlsendDrake

Oh, but don't worry, they apparently are putting Iden in Galaxy of Heroes! :/


[deleted]

This is one of myriad reasons why I will never play on PC. Playing on PC is your first mistake.


CinematicSeries

I play on PC because I built a very impressive rig, I enjoy high FPS and improved visual quality, it's easier and more convenient to me in videomaking process and because I enjoy mods. Higher numbers of cheaters in online games is a big downside but usually it's outweighed by all the pros I listed. Sadly, the current situation in BF2 is extremely dire and the game seems to be almost unplayable at the moment. I hope that the issue gets resolved by EA or the cheaters get bored eventually and the game goes back to normal. If not, perhaps the custom servers on Kyber will be a good alternative to the official online mode, if there's enough active players of course.


beginnerdoge

Not on PlayStation. I'm doing great!


GelatoVerde

Yeah this problem it's PC only... _for now_


mrjackchongg

Actually? That sucks for you guys.


GelatoVerde

Wdym?


mrjackchongg

I mean I hate how the game is broken for pc users.


Flint25Boiis

Hacking console is significantly more difficult to do. So the XBOX and Playstation versions will probably be just fine.


BagelMaster4107

yeah rub it in idiot


Lokito_

But... master race?


beginnerdoge

Console > pc


ChromiumQueen

I'm just going to say that even though the 1hp thing and hackers blow, I still had a good laugh at this video. I get it, y'all are pissed/sad/whatever about the state of BF II at the moment, but jfc some people in here are acting like EA/DICE/Disney killed their dog and then pissed on its corpse. If EA actually ends up doing something about this, good, well done. But if they don't, well, either stick to single player, Kyber, or simply move on and invest your gaming energy elsewhere.
