If your read the Star Wars aftermath trilogy, it’s final installment gave another foreshadowing of Palpatine’s return.

[@ryanedwards7487]

The original Battlefront II is the best Republic / Empire story game ever. Following a 501st clone all the way to Hoth was just...perfect. I only wish we could have had the game go all the way to Endor...or Jakku.

The thing that really ticked me off was I remember them leaning super hard into the you get to play as an Imperial angle only to leave out the fact it’s an Imperial Defector. Other than that the game was fun when I came back to play it during the free weekend

[@death336]

Yeah I wish they stayed as imperials, it would be so interesting. I actually have an idea where you play as the imperials and it seems like the rebels are sort of evil and you have a friend who gets killed by the rebels and then you see them celebrating over your friends dead body

[@broomhilder]

Same. They even treat them like any other rebel. No concern for defectors to have some semblance of past loyalties. Bit off-putting.

[@grandmasterbroda1429]

I’d love this year a review of the original 2005 Battlefront 2. The story of the 501st in that game is so good!

[@tekablade6755]

For Win number 34, there was an even earlier reveal of the 'Messenger'. If you have ever played the Tie Fighter games (which are on steam), you get missions from them. I don't remember if they had Palp's face, but I remember them giving you extra objectives for the mission you were about to do.

[@adam6620]

After the game rose up from microtransactions to greatness, I finally got around to playing this campaign. It was still fun since I already loved the original 2015 Dice BF as a kid so it was like reliving something bigger than I ever imagined, especially in the multiplayer modes.

[@Jesus_Christ_For_Real]

I'd like to add: almost all of the music used for this game was composed by gordy haab, only little bits of it are original John Williams score

Mabe you could try KOTOR since it is one of the best Star Wars games made. In my opinion of course.

[@WaddelingProductions]

[@JustTom-nv6mo]

Although the campaign is not the best The bf multiplayers are the games I have the nose hours in I rlly wish it’s support continued

[@davidcervantes7961]

Bro, am I the only one who got “Final Boss Fight” vibes with The Emperor Hologram droid? Honestly, I think they REALLY missed out on that. Imagine finding your father has been killed by that droid and the droid would have “force push/pull/lighting”. It wouldn’t really be the force but the droid could have weapons/gadgets that would like like it was the force. It might of been just me, but I think that would of been a bad ass way to end the game

[@TheXehanorto]

A bit sad that you didn't do the three post launch missions as the missions were done when the game launched, but since the game came out a month before The Last Jedi, they waited to release them so that the game could tie in more.

[@kgt94]

I'm happy to sticked to the single player. The multiplayer is basically the main story but better.

Star Wars squadrons felt slow to me, I can't explain how. Kinda like it slides when I look around, if that makes any sense.

It's like ace combat but I'm not used to going full stop plus the lasers tear you apart pretty fast especially if you roll with an A-wing like me.

Star Wars Battlefront 2…. A phoenix of a game if we ever saw one

[@georgethomas4567]

In my mind this is actually 2 different games. The boring at launch micro-transaction bug filled mess of a game.. and the amazing post launch shooter that was so much fun to play with friends. The story while not amazing does a decent job and would definitely like to have seen more of it.

[@aegis6485]

My biggest problem with the story is how fast Versio changes sides. For someone who has been serving the Empire for a long time, the naïvete on how they treat non-human species is just weird and the instantaneous switch flip is even weirder. No conflict of conscience or trying to rationalize, it is just an immediate switch to traitor.

[@death336]

Yeah. I wish she didn’t turn traitor. Or at least she didn’t join the rebellion. I would have hoped where she goes out on her own and don’t join any of the two sides

[@SirFlooberis]

Apparently she had already been having wavering loyalty to the empire before the DS2 blew up.

7:20 To be fair, some NCO just ordered an Admiral/Moff to attack an enemy cruiser, even though his ship was trapped in a docking clamp and unable to fight. Granted, that character is an asshole for his next few scenes, but in this instance it is justified considering Hask *should know* that the ISD can't fight back.

[@grandmasteryoda5744]

Thank you I must. Glad to see some positives about a generally hated game I am.

[@mitchellhayward6492]

One pet peeve I always have is how the word "empire" is used to refer to the "bad guys". In the case of Star Wars, the Empire is a Galaxy-spanning government. 90% of the Galaxy is part of the Empire, so if you grow up on a world like Alderaan, Corellia, or Naboo, you don't "join the Empire". You're already a citizen/subject. The wording that should have been used from the very beginning of this franchise is "military", which would really drive home the point that the Rebels are fighting against their own nation - not fighting just a bunch of stormtroopers, TIE Fighters, and star destroyers - but your own people; like fighting our own country's government and military. And attached to this idea, I recall Garrick Versio's line "the Empire is our home". As much as I am disappointed in this story, I like to think that his actual meaning when he says that line is "our home is not just one world, we have millions of other worlds we can call home". And come to think of it, if you forget about the doomsday context of the scene, and think of the line that way, "the empire is our home" sounds weirdly... nicely patriotic.

[@cinematicgoodness7325]

I often compare the marketing between this game and TLOU2. Both games are notorious for having some semblance of a lie in how they pushed what game you were going to get. Amongst the two, BF2 is the worst offender. TLOU2 I have given it a pass because the lies it tells are more, often than not, severely harmless whereas BF2 is actually harmful. In TLOU2, the game you get at launch is exactly what the marketing says it is: a dark game framed through the theme of hate about how the cycle of violence affects everyone for better or for worse. The only thing the marketing left out was who was going to die to push Ellie on the path to revenge. It's a small detail that was left out that largely doesn't ruin the narrative in any structural way. Yeah, Joel being in it was a lie, but a white lie, the same way Neil Druckmann lied about Joel being the only playable character when doing press for TLOU1. It was to preserve a spoiler that doesn't sabotage how the character gets from A to B. BF2 on the other hand, tells players with unwavering certainty that the game's story will be entirely told from the perspective of the empire. It in no way relents in hyping us up for that angle. Every piece of marketing says this. In the final game, no less than 4 missions in at Act 1, you defect from the Empire and become a Rebel for the rest of the campaign. That was an actual bold-faced lie that brought further damaged to the game's reputation at the start. That was actually harmful on their part and it killed any hype of this story being unique in any way. That being said, it's a game I still ended up enjoying, but mainly in sparse moments.

[@fancyowl2897]

The campaign for the game wasn't bad. I'm someone that vastly prefers Legends/Expanded Universe to Disney's Star Wars, but there are some gems tucked away in all the debris that I can appreciate. I just wish we had a game where we played as an Imperial to truly see their side from start to finish as opposed to another defector (though those stories are fun too). That's why I loved the original Battlefront 1 and 2 campaigns because the second especially has you play as a clone in the Clone Wars and the Galactic Empire and hearing those journal entries is nothing short of spectacular. They really drive you into the mindset of a clone going through those events.
