Do people still play this game, are there multiplayer servers around? I have fond memories of playing this one and disliked Battlefront 2 for having worse graphics and badly designed levels/maps overall.

This spot. This fucking spot in those ice caves on a map whose name I've long since forgotten. I remember spending battle after battle on this map just hanging around in the ice caves holding down this choke. Constantly running out of ammo and scavenging from the canisters dropped from the hundreds of dead attackers. I fucking loved this spot.
Does anyone here share this memory?

All of those maps have been ported to SWBFII, and they're just as fun if not better since II is basically a straight upgrade. It's always funny to see some droideka player get cheeky and deploy right in the entrance only to get annihilated by a dozen grenades tossed at once. Breaking through that choke was always tedious as fuck though. You were better off just squatting in there with a squad to stop backcappers and then rushing out once the AT-TE was in the yard sowing chaos. Otherwise you would get nailed by the three turrets with a sightline to that spot and snipers on the battlements.
07983e No.15057362
Another thing I don't about SWBFI is how retardedly overpowered the vehicles were. The second image is totally accurate. Image related for instance had such a huge blast radius on its main cannons that you could bathe half the battlefield in deadly explosions and also enough mobility to spawncamp all the points at once. It wasn't fun to play against at all. You basically had to turtle it out in the main room of the main spire since this thing could hover and send shots down the hallways.

Not true, only thing BF2 has over BF1 is playable Force users and thats pretty much it, map designs are worse, graphics are really wierd and unpleasent to eyes over hours of constant playing. Vehicles are not OP in BF1 they are actually in good spot they are neither weak nor stupidly broken, if you are constantly dying to vehicles in BF1 you are at fault not to mention there were specific unit types with rocket launchers that would 2 shot those vehicles with ease.

There are mods for 2 that fix all of those problems. When the game first released you may have had a point, but there is no reason to play 1 over 2 these days.

I won't say it was better than 2 because 2 was pretty great and had a lot of good upgrades. That said 2 also changed enough that for whatever reason it never quite captured that same comfy feel and magic the first game had for me.

Oh man, I had forgotten how great that was. I always loved the music in the main menu of BF1.
BF2 is mechanically superior and has more gameplay variety if I recall correctly but I always felt like it was a lot more cheapishly put together than the first game. I also preferred galactic conquest in the first.
I'm not a fan of the hero units either.
bb3ed4 No.15058850
>>15058791
People hold the hero units up as one of the best parts of BF2 but I didn't like them too much. Part of the fun of Battlefront is playing a normal soldier instead of the usual heroes and they could be a nightmare to balance. I'd have preferred they built on the AI jedi from the first game.

How could we reasonably make a spiritual successor to the classic Battlefront games? Obviously, using the Star Wars IP would be suicide because you'd drown in C&D orders, but surely there's a way to make a spiritual successor with a universe as fun and visually exciting without directly using Star Wars.

That depends, I remember having faggots tell me they'll email Disney and EA to get a mod I work on taken down cause I told them to fuck off. Basically it's like as long as you're not cutting into their profits they'll leave you alone, that's why that fan project to remake BF3 got shut down cause it got too popular and threatened to cut into EA/Disney sales for NuBattlecuck.
Seriously there are plenty of mods that straight up rip BF;EA assets mine included and EA has never once said shit cause they're niche mods into a market they don't care about.

The Arms 3 mod is still up and running but not on steam. The reason it got taken down is cause they stole a bunch of assets from the old Imperial Assault mod they're Russian so no surprise without crediting and the IA modders got it taken down. Nothing to do with EA.
Actually thinking about it I think that mod was literally built off the old IA mod, now that mod was shut down cause the devs were worried about getting kiked by EA/Disney cause people were going around yelling how it was better than BF2015 and how they'll just play the mod instead of getting that game. So really other than the BF3 restoration project they haven't really shut down mods/fan projects. I am in no way trying to defend them but just saying it's very unlikely you'll get shut down unless you're making people pay for it or constantly asking for donations
>>15062489
Yeah Disney isn't too bad when it comes to fan made shit as they're big enough to let it run. Honestly mods and fan made games are free advertisement for their brand so I can see why they wouldn't give a shit where as EA has autistic fits over stuff that cuts into their profits. I'm not worried cause my mods made for Men of War Assault Squad 2 and Call to Arms, which EA has yet to bother to get into the RTS/RTT market other then that mobile trash they pump out.

Yeah it's pretty telling that in 5 years EA has only managed to pump out 2 Triple A games, and a few mobile trash games for a licence that was almost guaranteed to print money for them.
It's actually impressive how successfully they managed to completely an utterly fuck that up.
I basically only look forward to new SW games for the sole reason of ripping assets from them now.
