8 Crazy version Differences you didn't know about in Classic Star Wars Battlefront 2

[@Hero_of_Sinnoh]

Would you guys like to see fact videos on Elite Squadrons or Dice Remake SW BF2? (Also sorry for the strange sound volume, had some trouble there)

[@WayToGoChamp]

Probably Elite Squadrons. Personally I'm more interested in the old games and never actually played Elite Squadrons

[@AverageMann]

Elite Squadron from the PSP has good gameplay, but the DS port has more story missions including more Rahm Kota and more interesting Dantooine level, it even has the night sisters and rancors as enemies, and when you beat the game you can use the lightsaber in any class

[@arbington]

In my opinion, Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron were the best Battlefront games, even if they were PSP exclusives. People complain about BF3 being “cancelled” and they don’t even know it was released, just for a handheld they probably never played.

[@maro____]

highkey yes because lots of people talk about "oh its a shame that swbf3 never released" while not knowing about elite squadron

[@AverageMann]

[@Kekktye]

The PSP version does have a popular community mod that adds all console-exclusive maps and complete map variants except Utapau along with a ton of extra content (DLC heroes, ect.)

[@co.1157]

Does that work on PSVITA?

[@Kekktye]

@@co.1157 yup. A modded Vita anyways. It doesn't even have some of the slowdowns the PSP has.

[@morsecode980]

@@KekktyeYeah even without modding, BF2 PSP has a pretty noticeable framerate increase on Vita. On PSP it’s kinda choppy

[@chichinpreston1847]

Am new to this I have a modded vita and the game how do I get that mod

[@rafifthesecond9023]

Revisiting Battlefront 2 PSP as an adult feels… weird. I recall the battles being a lot bigger and involved when I played it back then. As much as Im happy that the game didn’t change how it plays, I feel like Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron to be a much more fun and complete portable Battlefront game.

[@H20No]

Completely disagree, renegade and elite squadron use a far inferior port of the game that removes a lot of the impact and freedom of the original game. The customisation is kinda the only saving grace. I really enjoy the ps2 battlefront 2 port

[@whateveryoda]

I don’t remember the PSP version being as bad as this video makes it to be. I swear it was the same as the PS2 version.

[@Marsi-MM]

Trust me, it was that bad. However with mods it can look better.

[@Hero_of_Sinnoh]

I recorded all footage of the psp version from my phone (playing on Ps Vita). Didn't use emulator since those will upscale the rez

[@whateveryoda]

@@Hero_of_Sinnoh I believe you lol, I just don’t remember it this way for some reason

[@darthjarjarthewise8051]

[@herroberbesserwisser7331]

​@@Hero_of_Sinnoh would love if you took a look at the anthony bf2 PSP mod of battlefront 2. It puts in insane amounts of stuff, like the console from PC, many different unit skins, maps, demo maps and lots more.

I loved playing it on PSP when we went on a trip. It was a bit hard to control but fun after getting used to it, good times

2:48 I played a game of galactic conquest a week ago on PS2 and the rebel faction picked a hero perk and spawned in a Luke that went around killing everyone

[@-CrimsoN-]

Battlefront II on Xbox also had AI heroes.

[@Hero_of_Sinnoh]

Thats right, I said in the video pc & ps2 didn't have it. So technically Xbox & PSP exclusive feature.

[@morsecode980]

I’ve only ever played BF2 on PSP (yeah I know, I missed out.) But finding out the enemy AI being able to play as a hero is only possible on that version is really surprising, and kinda cool I guess.

[@petermanfox2535]

Ah, what beautiful memories of playing the Heroes vs Villains mode on Mos Eisley on PSP just to listen to Jedi Rocks and the Cantina theme. It was a fun version to have as a kid, however after playing the PC version after all these years, I don't think I would be able to go back.

[@tsunderemerc2963]

Interesting the cut bonus item is the inverse of a perk from the first game, which disables the other teams radars. They probably cut it since it would be mostly useless

[@bfbuilders]

Please never stop making these videos about og bf2

[@Perceval777]

The Phase 2 Clone Pilot looks so awesome! I wish there was a mod that adds this skin, but I haven't seen any...

[@MadChristoph]

We have something like that already in the game with the Clone Engineer class

[@Perceval777]

@@MadChristoph I know, but they're still a bit different. I just really love the 2003 Clone Wars series, so that's why I like the Phase 2 Pilot so much.

Emulators exist you know...

[@Rogue_Nine416]

the pilot helmet isn't actually based off the clone wars pilot helmet, they're both based off the same rots concept art which depicted the helmet as being fully sealed but george decided it looked too imperial and was given the open face design instead source: star wars chronicles: the prequels

[@battedbook5811]

I somehow never noticed that you cant see enemies on the map on other versions.

[@jogosdiversos9757]

The PSP version is very limited but it's a lot of fun, even more so with the remaster mod, it's very good, it even has PC and BF1 maps, improved models

[@danbent9559]

Loving these Battlefront 2 videos! Keep it up

[@growlanser5600]

I owned all the BF PSP games and even with its flaws to me BF2 on PSP still managed to be the better of the three. The other two don't have the same solid feel that BF2 has.

[@denmock]

Correction the xbox original edition also goes to 32 players same as pc only the psp and ps2 have the lower counts.

[@DreamerFromTheDepths]

Even with its drawbacks this was still a great port, both Elite and Renegade squadron are also great games but those were made specifically for the PSP and play differently as a result. If you wanted gameplay that was true to the console games then this was it, I had played both when I was younger but back then I never even noticed all the cut content, the raw experience is good enough that you don't really notice.

[@gerrycalhoun9827]

I grew up playing the PSP version, never knowing that any other version of the game existed. I remember being baffled about certain things, like why marines were even available in space battles. Since there was nothing to do on the enemy capital ships I just didn't see the point in the marines and so just always piloted the ships. At some point I learnt that the game existed on other consoles but I never considered that were might be differences (I was young, cut me some slack) I remember going around a friend's house who had the game on the XBox. My mind was blown when I saw what else was in the game. You could run around on the inside of the capital ships? Now the marines made sense! And there's so many other cool maps, like the Death Star?! I went and bought the game again on PC and played the absolute shit out of it. The XL gamemodes were amazing and I loved exploring the new maps and all the areas of the old maps which had been cut in the PSP version. I'm not sure if I noticed that the enemy team wouldn't pick AI heroes. I do have memories of battling it out against the enemy faction's hero, so I guess that must have been in the PSP version and I never noticed it wasn't in the PC version.

[@battedbook5811]

On the PSP i remember that on Tantive IV map one of the factions is missing their engineer class. I think it was the Droid engineer. Did anyone else have this problem or was my game just broken?

[@file_boi020]

[@battedbook5811]

@@file_boi020 It has always bothered me. Why would the CIS be missing it's engineer and no other faction, so it has to be a bug.

With Battlefront’s 1 and 2 coming to Modern consoles through the Classic Collection. I hope LX mode comes with it for consoles.

[@jeebus2313]

Despite the obvious limitations I think the PSP port was fairly impressive for what it was, especially for the time. Being able to play a Battlefront game on a portable system was pretty cool. Now of course there's no *real* reason to go back to it and it's just sort of a neat footnote in the series history but it's still interesting to look back on.

[@CritStanley]

Wait, what are those armor types in Elite squadron?!? Have they always been there?????

[@willwunsche6940]

I just want a sequel to these games in the exact style so bad. I love the reboot Battlefront games too but and would kill for one of those also but the originals deserve a new game so bad people would love it

Wait, the XL mode crashes the game? I don't think I've ever seen that happen, and I've tried it on multiple computers.

[@Hero_of_Sinnoh]

Defs has higher chance of crashing since it happened on my computer but not a frequent thing. Mainly when accompanied with the discord problem as well.

[@ThisIsWhereTheFunBegins8588]

I love how everyone is praising this game and says its better than the new ones when it has whole other gameplay mechanics and missing core features on different platforms but the community would set EA/DICE on fire if there's a minor bug in their game. Honestly I dont understand the hype of the og games.

[@powder479]

It's purely nostalgia glasses, but I do understand the appeal for the older versions. They do have a lot of stuff to offer that the more modern versions don't have (namely stuff from the expanded universe) but the modern BF2 does generally feel a lot better to play, at least for me.

[@Christian-fn4cw]

I've play a LOT of battlefront 2 both old and new. They both got a lot to offer, sometimes I like the newer one, and sometimes I like the older one. Depends on the day. I wish both reached their full potential.

[@gabrielgills597]

The fact that it was able to be put on the psp is impressive. EA's Battlefront 2 is a newer game on a newer console. It probably helps that EA is not that great of a company

[@HereticHarry]

Wish CPU heroes and the challenge mode was implemented into Battlefront Classic Collection, but that probably would of been too much work for Aspyr. If they did, CC would of been the definitive way to play 1 and 2.

I find it weird that the heavy classes on pc you only have 3 mines where console you have 4 I know since it’s my favorite class on og battlefront 2

I thought it was good but then I discovered the Ps2 and PC versions which were by all means superior. My parents were intrigued about how much stuff was omitted from the PSP version. I know the PSP is capable of more than that. The PSP version is a scam compared to the console and PC versions.
