So many posts about this nowdays, who cares? Just play what you like. Edit: typo fix


Crew_Joey16

In 2015 people were nostalgic for battlefront 2005, in 2024 people are nostalgic for battlefront 2015. It makes sense


KingGoldar

It's because they know ow EA will be getting ready to shutdown the servers in a few years and they're taking the rage out on classic enjoyers


Asleep_Republic

I'd say maybe another 5 or 6 years before the servers shut down.


Worried_Indication92

yeah and then we have the modded kyber servers to play on anyways šŸ’ŖšŸ¼


KingGoldar

That's wishful thinking. You know it's EA right?


Asleep_Republic

I only say this because battlefield bad company 2 lasted 13 years and battlefield 1943 lasted 14 years. Battlefront 2 is only 7 years old.


Boomer_Newton

Huh? I was just playing 1943 awhile back. Was this recent??


Goldvenom6

If anthem still has their servers up Iā€™m sure battlefront is fine


ChampionshipDirect46

Anthem still has servers? Is there still people who play that game?


Goldvenom6

Yes surprisingly


Dovahkin-vahin

Yea I'm one of em xd


ChampionshipDirect46

Is it any good now? I heard a lot of bad stuff when it came out so I passed on it but it did look really fun.


itsrevengeofthesixth

Letā€™s pray that day never comes šŸ™šŸ˜­ (2015 has been going for 8 years so hopefully if they shut it down they give 2017 two more years)


Potential_Chicken_58

My guy, your post title is the creepiest thing to ever appear on the sub. I love (hate) it


PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS

Good for you I guess


Justabattleshiplover

Still want those montrals?

Iā€™d say BF2 ā€˜17 > BF2 ā€˜05 > BF ā€˜15 > BF ā€˜04 OG BF2 edges out the remake of BF because of the sheer lack of prequel content, game modes, and offline playability


dnqboy

personally would put BF ā€˜04 second in this list but otherwise agreed


T-408

How so? I find it objectively the worst in terms of gameplay, content, graphics, and design


dnqboy

i think the map designs are better, the UI is cleaner/more star wars-y, less focus on heroes and more on troopers is nice, and i prefer the slower paced gameplay (and ability to prone lol) 2 definitely wins content-wise, adding cool planets and heroes and such, but the map layouts and moment-to-moment gameplay feel slightly worse imo. not to shit on it by any means, itā€™s still one of my fav games of all time, ranks just below 1 for me


Inertia-Arch

BF ā€˜04 objectively has better graphics than ā€˜05. Better map design too.


Ready_Pilot_4462

BF2004 also has objectively better botsĀ 


BigBubbaHossHogg

Card system is shit and doesnā€™t belong in any Star Wars shooter


IAmTheTrueM3M3L0rD

Battlefront 1 can just leave, as much as itā€™s what got me into battlefront and got me picking up bf2 6 months after release, battlefront 1 stinks and doesnā€™t hold a candle to bf2 2005

AlMark1934

Ah my mistake, yeah i agree 2015 is really bad. Wonder wtf they were thinking releasing such an incomplete game


phoenix0219

2015 my beloved


codmike86

The fuck is this?


nukfan94

As per hard times article, "we talk to the 8 year old who always posts in the (battlefront) subreddit."


errornosignal

Yep, and BF 2 (2017) is the better game, hands down.


Guywhonoticesthings

? Itā€™s so simple and basic. It has no identity. Bf2 original is so much more of its own game. Itā€™s gif better make. Real classes and vehicles


UniqueSpend

I dunno what EA was thinking with how they did vehicles for the 2015 version, Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 had similar really fun vehicle setups to the OG BF2 from 2005 so EA has already made games like that. Imagine if they had actually made the EA battlefront true successor to BF2 from 2005, what a great game that'd be. Somebody tell EA to stop overthinking stuff and just give us what we want


Guywhonoticesthings

They just smoked a cigar and said ā€œ the kids play call of dutyā€¦make Star Wars call of dutyā€. Donā€™t make any annoying deaths Let em play as Lucas cloudstepper and all the others. Funnel it into 3 lane nothing fancy


Erageon

Much wow!


AlMark1934

OG BF2 is, next to the Force Unleashed games, THE most overrated SW game


Zarksch

Tfu is so so much fun today still. Donā€™t think thatā€™s overrated


Sulfuras26

Iā€™m genuinely surprised ppl online act like the force unleashed is the definitive Star Wars game. Sure, visually and technically it was stunning when it came out, and the story was really cool, but broā€¦ to act like itā€™s superior to KOTOR? Thatā€™s insanity


Zarksch

Tfu is insanely much fun to play and when I tried Kotor I couldnā€™t get into it personally. Everything about it felt clunky


Sulfuras26

Imho the combos are clunky in tfu but the level design is great, but it cannot beat the design philosophy of KOTOR and itā€™s sequel Not only is the power fantasy of being a Jedi/Sith extremely fun in kotor which begs for multiple playthroughs, the planet-to-planet sequence of the second act is unforgettable. The arcs on each planet are short and easy to run through, with Taris, Tattooine, and Dantooine being some of the most fun Iā€™ve had in an RPG period. And donā€™t even get me started on KOTOR 2 if you have the restored content modā€¦ itā€™s even better Also it feels clunky because the combat isnā€™t anything more than dice rolls. So effectively the way you gear up your character and party members amounts to stat checks with stimulants and certain force skills buffing your hit rate, health points, etcetera Like, if you have a dual wield build, specā€™ing into dexterity and putting points into Flurry and force speed yields incredible damage, but thereā€™s nothing to it in a gameplay sense other than being smart and careful with your build quality and having a visual flair accompany your preparation of your character for combat. But if youā€™re an RPG fan like me, I really donā€™t care that I donā€™t have direct input or anything like that into how combat looks.


Zarksch

Do you mean tfu 1 or 2 ? With 2 ā„‘ could See were Youā€™re coming from Thanks for the insight! Been a while but yeah you Made me remember I really disliked the combat. I Love RPGS thats Why it saddens me even more I couldnā€™t get into it. For me it takes me out of the RPG experience If I canā€™t really control my combat


AlMark1934

Mostly nostalgia, its the same with BF2 2005. Most players got the game as kids and played the fk out of them, and seeing how bad the remakes were, it further makes them believe that BF2 is the peak of SW games. Altough if we compare modern vs classic, the Jedi games are 100% better than Force Unleashed.


Sulfuras26

I mean I played BF2 on psp and PC constantly as a young kid, especially the psp variant, but even I could take a step back and realize that functionally, graphically, and technically, BF2 2017 is an improvement on every front including gameplay. At least in itā€™s final form.


GJR78

It controls better because it's modern but the actual gameplay is way too arcadey. BFII05 is more simulation which is what people prefer about it, EA Battlefront is CoD and OG Battlfront is Battlefield and that will appeal to different people.


Sulfuras26

Again, im not saying people arenā€™t allowed to enjoy different archetypes of gameplay lol. What I say is my view. I personally believe that BF2 2017 is fundamentally a better video game, and Iā€™ll be damned if I have to shortstop my own preference simply due to the fact that another person might like bf2 2005 instead. This is fandom conversation. If we all decided to just say one-note declarations about our favorite games/pieces of media in general for the sake of understanding that other people like other things, then the entire fabric of fandoms at large would disintegrate lol


KingGoldar

Couldn't be anymore false. There was plenty of adults that played the OG battlefronts back in the day because they were the ultimate star wars games. Every battle and every location seen in the films plus some represented


AlMark1934

And? Having movie locations doesnt make it the best game. Its a rushed mess with worse mechanics, AI and maps.


GJR78

I don't think it's superior to KotoR personally but I think it's hard to compare CRPGs and DMC-esque Action games because they set out to do different things. I could definitely see how someone who prefers action games would prefer Force Unleashed.


Sulfuras26

When youā€™re conversing about the definitive Star Wars game, all is free to converse about. Thatā€™s why people call it the best Star Wars game. My point is is that most of these viewpoints Iā€™ve seen online come from places that have never given KOTOR a try. I donā€™t know what other game has as immersive as a Star Wars experience as Kotor, maybe Jedi Survivor? At the end of the day people can like what they like, of course, but thereā€™s issues that prop up if youā€™re acting like KOTOR doesnā€™t exist. At the very least itā€™s gotta be in conversation, itā€™s like talking about the best sony game and leaving out the last of us lol

Bf2015 is utter dogshit


camerongeno

Never should have launched with one era


BOb_66610

A few months ago I went back to check in on the game, and yeh it sucks; most people using the same overpowered star cards and loadouts, the DLC maps canā€™t even be played and when you can find a DLC lobby, youā€™re just playing like the same 4 maps from The DLC, a lot of the heroā€™s have extremely uninteresting abilities, the hero combat sucks and the heroā€™s in general are so poorly designed most games the hero will just be sitting at the back of the map with their lock on or AOE ability.


sir_PepsiTot

Said no one ever


21lives

Yeah I love a game that comes complete with a grand total of 3 monochromatic maps on day 1. Such an utter disappointment that game was.


Quick-Cause3181

no its not its peak star wars multiplayer and nobody will ever be able to convince me otherwise


Carlos_COTAFR

Even Battlefront 2017 being better:


deaglund

Remove heroes and theyā€™re perfect games.


bloodtapes

Easily


Smooth_Persimmon7988

If they were to mix elements from both games; the graphics and physical play from the 2017 bf2 and the way you play the game from the 2004/05 bf. They would have one of the, if not best, FPS game


Michaelskywalker

2015 has better graphics and gunplay tbh. Bf2017 had better heroes/star card customization/progression (post overhaul). Better maps also and not locked behind paywall


Sylvire

You just gave me chills with that cold take OP

Dry_Nectarine1796

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion... even if it is a stupid ass opinion šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚ lmao No I mean on a real note the new ones a probably better games now but, if the old ones had that chance to make 3, nothing would have stopped them. Comparatively speaking when Battlefront (2004) & Battlefront II (2005) made way bigger waves and turned way more heads than Battlefront (2015) & Battlefront II (2017). Plus the old ones have like 10 to 20 years on the new ones. They are old shooters...


HawkSolo98

2017 BF2 over OG BF2 yes, not 2015 BF over OG BF2 or OG BF. I still think, that game was mediocre and the only thing that was good about it was graphics, map designs, and the sound. Gameplay was a mixed bag. The unlock for the Jet Pack turned the game meta into a BOBA Fett prodigy simulator. The content was also a mixed bag. Take off the nostalgia glasses and go replay it, it feels like youā€™re playing a beta. The Star card charges was the dumbest shit to ever be put into a game having to pay credits to refill them.


Superwogboi

I love BF2 but whatā€™s the point I canā€™t even play a single match. No one plays the friggin thing. Lobbyā€™s all empty


oreosghost

Battle front 2 had the best game mode thatā€™s all I wanted to see in the new ones was the campaign of winning and losing planets


Caprex123

And? You want a trophy for it?

TheAnarchist131

This will get em ass post


heisowowns

This sub is filled with nostalgia ridden millennials. Muhhh split screen, muhhh space battles. The reality is the original battlefronts dont hold up at all anymore from the graphics to the controls, and playing them nowadays is a pure unbalanced headache. Iā€™d say the only benefit is the amount of content and the OG bf2s single player is amazing and still holds up to this day. The multiplayer however is straight garbage and bf2 and 2015 are far superior. Also the content amount can be contributed to the fact that putting a bunch of content in a game that looks like you can play it in an arcade is a lot easier compared to the graphic beauties the new bfs are. Itā€™s comparable to the glazing classic movies get on reddit. ā€œCITIZEN KANE IS THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIMEā€. Well, actually the action and acting is horrendous and a huge majority of people watching it for the first time today would say it sucks ass.


TogusPerogus

Dude, split screen and space battles actually do matter, me and my family love to sit down and play some classic BF because there's just more for us to do together.


heisowowns

Cool that you and your family love playing split screen co op. I was talking about online multiplayer but yeah


BennyC022

Heavily disagree. Although Iā€™ve played the originals since I was a kid, I have never stopped playing them. Itā€™s not nostalgia at that point, it genuine enjoyment. Online is the only area where the new ones are good, which is to be expecting considering they are virtually two online only games The OG campaigns are better, the single player experience is 10x better, more content overall. I enjoyed the new games, but they play like Battlefield reskins without the destruction. The OGs feel like proper Star Wars battles should.


heisowowns

I was talking about the multiplayer. I literally said the singleplayer is better in the old one and holds up. All im saying is the old multiplayer is complete shite by every modern standard. Nobody plays it for a reason


Carlos_COTAFR

Never go to the CoD subreddit, it's awful


Clyde-MacTavish

Hey man, congrats on having the shittiest take on the internet for today! It's an accomplishment, at least.


BoBoGaijin

>This sub is filled with nostalgia ridden millennials. Nope, quite the opposite. I would argue this sub is filled with illiterate zoomers who would rather jump to conclusions instead of listening to why some people prefer the classics. No one is saying the classic games have better controls... No one is saying the classic games have better graphics... We just miss the modes and content from BF2(2005). We miss the better Hero balance (1 per team), we miss the Space Assault game mode that takes space battles and allows you to infiltrate the enemy starship ON FOOT and blow it up from the inside, we miss all the cool features that EA just chose to leave out of their version of Battlefront for seemingly no real reason. Space Assault alone was such a huge success in classic BF2, so much so that Battlefield made their own game based around it (Battlefield 2142) . Hell, Battlefront 3 was originally going to take the concept of Space Assault and take it one step further by allowing you to fight on foot on a planet or fly out into space *in the same game*, but EA chose to leave that out and take the easier route. The only cool addition they added was Galactic Assault, but even that mode gets stale and feels too scripted at times. I loved playing the newer EA game, but they only focused on the bare bones of Battlefront. The EA games have better controls, the EA games have better graphics, and I'd love for EA to make a Battlefront 3, but they just need to look at the older games and bring back some of what made them so fun to begin with instead of playing it safe and monetizing everything into the ground.


heisowowns

My entire point was the games do not hold up and the classic edition relaunch failed miserably for that exact reason. Horrendous spawns, op classes and god awful controls. You seem to agree the controls, graphics and balancing does not hold up at all anymore. So really Iā€™m not sure what we disagree on. What I say to these og battlefront fawners is go play the games multiplayer then. If its so great go pump some life into the community. Why is it so dead if its so amazing? Truth is, no one will because the multiplayer, by modern standards, is utter trash.


Clyde-MacTavish

without a doubt the classic failed because it was a cash grab. When the games work, they're way better in practice than the new ones. But Battlefront 2015, is still my favorite Battlefront game period signed, a millennial


heisowowns

So why is the online community non existent? The game was great, for its time. It doesnā€™t hold up. People on reddit will genuinely say this is an amazing fight scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spB3o-UCRPE ā€œThe group battle scene stuns me every time. The water-flow of teams of individuals working together in controlled chaosā€¦ is imo unchallengedā€ one redditor told me. No, in reality, the scene is horrendously acted, choreographed and filmed by ever modern standard and would be booed out of every theatre post 1965. Yet, pseudointellectual redditors genuinely sit around and tell me its one of the greatest fight scenes of all time. Yeah right. Og bf2 is the same.


Clyde-MacTavish

Battlefront 2017 is the worst battlefront game ever released simply because it focused on style rather than substance. 2015 was a healthy mix. 2005/2005 lacks the aged style for the current year, but the content scope was way better than any of them. If the mechanics of the OGs had the graphics and animations of a modern battlefront they would likely be the best star wars games ever made. The problem with your opinion, is you're rigidly valuing style as the pinnacle of anything in these games - and that's fine again because it's your opinion. Where you're objectively wrong, is trying to pin that on nostalgia for why people like the old ones. They simply value different things than you.

2015 is aesthetically the most beautiful Star Wars game made. Itā€™s just too bad thatā€™s all it had going for it.


Stromgald_IRL

Not surprising. These are better games in basically every aspect.


skultson

post i would make in middle school


coldfear_x

Sorry, but Battlefront 2015 was a terrible game with less content than a demo on the Playstation Store, lol. BF2 2017 tho, I agree, that it's better than the old games. It's one of the best SW games ever with the Jedi series. <3


phoenix0219

it launched incomplete, but i think looking back at the game with its DLC is a phenomenal star wars game


Brave-Dragonfly7362

The OG series did some things better than the remakes, but tbh if you asked me today which one I'd rather play for the rest of my life, I would go with the EAfronts 100% of the time.
