    I’ve mentioned it before, but the single player campaign is worth this price. I frankly couldn’t stand the multiplayer, but the single player story is simple and fun, and has a surprising amount of content. Gorgeous graphics.

      I just started playing. The normal shooter PvP was also not my favorite, but do you really think the same of the space battles? I love it a lot.

          Only thing I miss compared to the old BF2 is landing in the enemy ship to sabotage and the conquest mode. Otherwise, I find it solid. There is a pve arcade and pve large scale battles, both are quite fun to spend time in

          It’s hard not to like them. Shooting down enemies is not a slog and you don’t get sniped it 1 shot, dying is not as bad because you can just jet back to the action in 5 seconds anyways, and who could possibly hate piloting an X-Wing with the intuitive controls?

      Does this still have a wild amount of drm

      If I’m not mistaken Star Wars is still owned by Disney, of course it’ll have many many many layers of DRM.

      and extra launchers

      In my experience it’s only the EA launcher that it needs. it works on Linux despite all the bullshit.

    The screenshots and two trailers make me confused whether this is even the game I thought it is from the title. I hate that it doesn’t show any gameplay outside of a short scene in the second trailer.

    This is a solid game for how cheap it goes on sale regularly. I mean it’s pretty old now, but still.

    Multiplayer can be fun, but there are a lot of bots. The Galactic Conquest mode (the Clone War one that’s more like the classic BF games) can kinda drag for a really long time in some matches, but it’s still pretty fun to jump in and start blasting.

      There are only bots in Supremacy which do drag on for a long time, there are no bots in the Galactic assault mode which is more linear battles with 3-4 phases.

      As I’ve said in other posts when sales come up for this game, it was designed as a slog, you have to grind to get good weapons and “star cards”. Hackers will pop up in Galactic Assault here and there but are relatively absent in Supremacy.

      Campaign Ai is garbage, story is o k a y at best.

      Fun game, toxic community, 8 years 3k hours, will be playing till the servers die

    A month ago I watched this video (9 min) which paints quite a positive light on Battlefront 2 - after the very negative reviews and community feedback after release 8 years ago.
