Star Wars Battlefront 2 - 16 Years Later

[@Jwlar]

Thanks for watching. Watch more Star Wars retrospectives here: kzbin.info/aero/PLM_F6ru-Us2zeJQpsr0RLsjvMdirn7qyc

[@11th_defender51]

Loved the video, but you seem to think the new battlefront 2 is as it was at launch. I imagine you haven't played it much since because a lot of people consider the new battlefront to be one of the best star wars games now. I'm glad they removed the lootboxes. The campaign is still the same tho.

[@jacobj869]

I am def a Battlefront II 2005 supremacist. The gold standard of Star Wars games imo

[@Jwlar]

Totally agree.

[@chasegriffin5205]

Absolute truth!💯

[@ZyrusSmith]

Reported for being a supremacist. Racism is so outdated.

[@acdcking1234]

Love the mods for this game

[@wafflcoptr]

That and Knights of the Old Republic.

[@tgr3423]

My favorite part of Battlefront II is the sheer volume of combat FIRE that is on screen at all times. You can really tell that there's a battle going on. Just look at the average footage of Kashyyk Beach. Blaster bolts flying, artillery landing, grenade shrapnel, vehicles exploding, turrets firing, smoke obscuring your vision. There is SO MUCH happening visually. Battlefront II is probably the most immersive Star Wars game ever made because of it.

[@nohbuddy1]

Just imagine what they could have done for a battlefront 3. Expanded space battles? A playable death star trench run?

[@bobsaget8791]

It actually exists in an unfinished form, and it has pretty fun space to ground combat, despite being far from finished

[@411Remnant]

Is a damn crime that this video doesn't have thousands of views. The script, commentary, editing and overall work put into this video is outstanding. Keep it up bro!

[@Jwlar]

Thanks man!

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

Pandemic actually had 2 final gifts. Modding tools so we could make our own scripted, voiced. Campaign missions, custom units, weapons, designs, vehicles etc. Tools for maps, ambience and all of that such as well as the ability to even make custom conquest galactic campaigns and gamemodes.

[@Nerdexotic]

what annoys me is I remember when Star wars battlefront was being made the new one everyone was like yes a remaster that's all they needed to do, Improve the graphics improve the AI add in some more planets and levels and done. Battlefront 3 the greatest game that never was.

[@kenobi894]

RIP Battlefront 3. I remember looking forward to it coming out just to hear it canceled. It stung almost as bad as hearing republic commandos sequel canceled. What games they would have been:(

[@freedomredacted3833]

Really great to see this game talked about to this day. Especially when the person uploading it puts actual effort into the video. Thanks for getting me to pick up the game again. I really want to see more out of this channel.

[@Jwlar]

Thank you so much! It’s a great game for sure! Glad you like it.

[@peterpayne2219]

I have literally never not had it installed.

[@Skyrim12358]

I to this day still play Battlefront 2 from 05. It adds so much to star wars by itself but it especially shines when you make it as hard as possible and restrict yourself to only the basic units. I have so much more respect and empathy for the clones than I did prior thanks to this game. Attempting to exterminate the jedi 20 times and finally succeeding with a kill from the grave grenade that cut off the "defeat" dialouge with the success noise and a victory literally made me cry. I was also plastered, but still.

[@usaroblox9336]

My favorite thing about this game is the massive amount of mods it has.

[@susinator]

Wait, what? I'm guessing for the PC, right? I still have a functioning PS2 with a copy of the game, if I could somehow get mods working in that game, I may just have to sink dozens of hours again into this masterpiece.

[@Youarefatiamhandsome]

Yesss!!!! Bruh there was an amazing space battle map that felt like a bullet hell.

[@soggybreadman4035]

@@Youarefatiamhandsome bro, if you can remember the name please tell us. I love custom maps, and I'm curious because I have to stumble upon a custom space map yet.

[@Youarefatiamhandsome]

@@soggybreadman4035 I cannot remember unfortunately

[@DK-br5sk]

Man thinking of the moments on this game bring back some amazing childhood memories. As a kid in elementary school, every single day I couldn’t wait to come home and play battlefront 2. The weekends were even more exciting because my best friend would come over and we would play battlefront 2 all day and night. I wish I could travel back in time just for one day 😞

[@TruuMUUU]

Found this in the BF2 community tab, while randomly scrolling. Good editing and pacing bro, definitely a hidden gem

[@Jwlar]

Thank you!

[@XxXkillernooXxX]

There has got to be at least one copy of an unfinished battlefront 3 floating around somewhere and I aspire to get it. This game was my childhood. I got it when it came out for Christmas and I absolutely loved it and still play it to this day

[@HDBattlefieldVideos]

Yoooo this game! My bro used to always say the first one was best, but I had the most fun in this one every time. Jedi’s were so OP but felt so good

[@Jwlar]

Haha yeah, the Hero’s were always overpowered as hell, but I feel that makes sense when you’re playing a Jedi/Sith.

[@peterpayne2219]

I have a soft spot for the first one too, some of the levels are better and the concept is more "pure" because you can't play Jedi

[@michaellane5381]

Jedi hunting was more fun in 1 tbh, bottomless pit, roadkill, park on them directly... Nothing else worked

[@christopheryoung2874]

I loved this game in college back in the day. Played it with my roommate for months when it came out

[@ultrabot2122]

I just came back and watched it again and I must say it's still a good game and will be remembered as a legendary game....

[@paulwalker4044]

The quality of your videos has improved so much over the last few months. Keep it up man, top quality content

[@Jwlar]

Thanks so much man, means a lot!

[@Perceval777]

This deserves a lot more views!

[@Jwlar]

Thank you!

[@NarlyLyfe]

god I remember getting so into this game, so many good memories playing local coop being able to take over the galaxy.

Great video! Still one of my favourite video games of all time!

[@Jwlar]

Thank you! Same here.

[@nigelnigel1688]

Wow with just those first few seconds of music and voiceovers and I was RIGHT back in there, a clone in the 501st born, bred, and trained for the war that molded and harrowed us as troopers and formed the Galactic Empire.

[@lukasraynor]

Damn dude you deserve way more views than you get. Great video

[@Jwlar]

Thank you!

[@richardwhite8276]

I got this game at March and I loved it and I’m still playing it

[@Adam-rh7lh]

This review was, how should i say this, Amazing. Ive been looking for a review to show my friend the magic of this fabulous game and no other captured the essence of this game like you did. I'm surprised you dont have 10,000 subs already with the level of writing and editing. This was simply beautiful.

[@Jwlar]

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

[@germunkinbrock4445]

My all time favorite fps game imo

[@LadyBoobs]

so glad I found your channel these games made my childhood

[@ConfusedSpaceRaptor]

Battlefront is truly a gem, thank you for taking a look back at such an iconic game. And regarding the unrekeased battlefront 3 game, it was ported to psp as Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. Also there is a team working on a project called Battlefromt 3 Legacy which is essentially modding the original concept for the unreleased game into the old battlefront 2

[@Jwlar]

Yes! I totally forgot to mention that. I loved playing the demo for over and over on the PSP. The fact that we finally got the joint battles (although not as epic as they could've been on PS3/360) was great. Wow, that mod sounds really promising, I'll check it out, thanks!

[@ConfusedSpaceRaptor]

@@Jwlar no problem! The mod is still in beta but the team is working really hard on it. Its come a long way!

[@markusb3712]

3:15 I think he meant to say battlefront 2 and not "battlefield 2", but I'll let it slide. After all, I love BF2!

[@Jwlar]

Oh Damn! Great catch - didn't even notice it somehow, my bad.

[@ultrabot2122]

There is one thing why BF2 2005 is always replayable: Mods

[@Jwlar]

For sure - I should've covered that more.

[@BigboiiTone]

I can still play it from time to time without mods and still have fun

[@Casavo]

I was one of those guys that came at this game from battlefield 1942. I was curious when i first heard of this and grabbed the first on my ps2 and liked it. When the second came out its was a easy buy but man i fell in love with battlefront 2. The galaxy conquest mode was my jam. I easily put hundreds of hour into it. This game is one of the reasons i have like 20 ps2s setting around just to keep mine running as emulation is fine but nothing like playing it the way its ment to be.

[@BenLJackson]

This is my second video of yours, after the retrospective on Elder scrolls Arena. Thank you.

[@samusfisher]

I still play it daily 😂

[@majorgear1021]

How is the online community?

[@113charlie7]

Thank you for saying "Star wars battlefront 2 the good one"

[@hopefulhyena3400]

I've never been a big shooter fan but I got this game on sale in 2017-2018 or so and loved it.

[@SirNarax]

Quality. Also at 5:34 yeah. Expect I got all nostalgic when you played that Battlefield 1942 cut scene so take a shot what kind of gamer I was haha.

[@Plebeian398]

Let’s bring it back!!!

[@peterpayne2219]

Great video. I can see you love this game as much as I do. I literally play Battlefront II 2005 almost daily, it's fun to play it on a maxed out gaming PC on a 4k monitor just for the lulz. (There are sadly some video effects that come through at certain higher resolutions).

[@Jwlar]

Couldn't agree more, thanks for watching!

[@jarrodedson5441]

This is my first and favorite star wars game

[@TresAliens]

Thanks for makin' this video. It is what i want to hear about this game. It helps me to take a deep look on everything. It is a very good video and useful. ❤❤❤ saludos desde México City

[@screamingpenguin4696]

Great vid bro. I love battlefront 2 I still play today with my friends

[@thekingbutten]

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Battlefront 3? It's not a story the Disney execs would tell you.

[@jetpond7904]

One of my favourite games

[@chaoticclonestudios]

I got star wars battlefront 2 (2019) on my laptop and it barely ran due to my laptops low ram but then I got 2005 battlefront 2 and I don't regret it I even decided to get the 2002 battlefront 1 to compare and both are evenly amazing in my opinion

[@jompis007]

3:48 God damn that hangar ship AI is such a classic

[@james5349]

love how this 2005 game is still better than the brand new swbf games lmao

[@RetroGameplay731]

star wars republic commando

[@Jwlar]

An absolute classic. I will be reviewing that one one day for sure!

[@TGEnthusiast]

Very well editted! Love this. amazing job

[@Jwlar]

Thank you so much!!

[@Capt_CrimsoN]

You absolutely nailed the whole "freedom of choice" that came with the classic games. I think this is why I despise EAfront so much. They've long since moved away from player choice or the emphasis on teamwork. With EAFront when it comes to space battles, you can't choose to board enemy ships. You can't get out and hack enemy vehicles. Support skills are limited to the officer class whose only real support is something akin to rally and weak deployable turrets. Can't lay mines for an ambush. Less game modes. No galactic conquest.... it's just EAFront is missing so much.

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

sweet upload Jwlar. I killed that thumbs up on your video. Maintain up the very good work.

[@Jwlar]

Thank you!

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

@@Jwlar No problem at all, always happy to support my fellow content creators. I am looking forward to improving on my own current video format I have uploaded and, in the future, trying to create content as good as yours in the long-term.

Great stuff

[@taktischesgenie331]

i got battlefront 2 2005 not long ago though i played the first one BF2 is such an amazing game to play even with bots like you said, are you ever going to make a episode related to modding the game? Ill be on the lookout! amazing video btw :D

[@BeyondtheBox1]

Just bought this game on steam in May realizing I could play it now when I always played on Xbox 🤡

[@logmaster4life]

They need to make a reboot that improves graphics and content, but keeping it as similar as possible.

[@micketm3]

We want Battlefront 3 😢😥😭 We all need it... the canceled Battlefront 3 looked amazing and it had new battlefield mechanics... The EA Battlefronts are failures... SW Battlefront is singleplayer story and Galactic Conquest... plus everything else is an amazing bonus :) We need to do something about Disney...😖

[@cesarvictoriano8072]

Short answer: *Yes*

[@rc59191]

If you haven't played the Saga and Legacy Edition's for the game stop what you're doing and download them now. Saga Edition makes the game modern with tons of new units, maps, vehicles, and game modes. Legacy Edition turns the game into the original Battlefront III ground to space combat, campaign, and all.

[@zzodysseuszz]

6:16 they’re not rabid tho. Just wanting the series to be what it markets itself without constant retcons, disrespecting characters from childhood to replace them with shitty knock-offs and rewriting the endings of previous instalments isn’t rabid.

[@sigadop3492]

when another star wars game try to make you as important as possible *cought force unleashed *cought jedi fallen order, this game make you feel like a storm trooper that can die easiely and have a bad aim,

[@luckyl3v1]

This video is true to us all, This is also just like the act mans review.

[@Jwlar]

Yeah, I noticed later when watching some Battlefield 2 video that I accidentally channelled a little too much Act Man in this one, he's one of my fave KZbinrs, and I had forgotten ever watching his Battlefield 2 video when writing mine, but clearly, his video must have come through in my conscious lol.

[@curtisj6641]

I played SWBF2 online on PS2 with the Wi-Fi adapter. You were correct when you said it wasn't as competitive, instead being more for fun. Nobody would rage and break their controller when they got killed in SWBF2, like they did in Call of Duty 4 for example. At least I hope not. I wonder why that is. They aren't that dissimilar, are they? So why is it so much more irritating when you die in a Call of Duty game, than when you died in SWBF2

[@pilot3605]

Hard to say. Some multiplayer games just seem to frustrate people so much more.....even between different fighting games, I can feel this

[@MrDernagon]

My kids played the reboot games first and didn't play the originals until a few years ago. They say the originals are definitely better. Nuf said.

[@Shmack_]

This game was $2 i shoulda snatched it up(The 2017 version)

[@lastmanstanding7155]

Actually battlefront 3 is fucking epic. I own it on the psp. The game fucks. It's clearly much smaller scale in everything but seriously going from space to planet and planet to space was just so cool.

[@kimkardashiann1579]

can we go back and take now and put it into 2012.

[@Youarefatiamhandsome]

My only issues is that there no Lando

[@majorgear1021]

Can you still join online MP games? I assumed the servers were shutdown by now.

[@ic0nic707]

There’s still servers, there’s an average of like 20-30 people on usually. The servers just.. don’t work that well, it’s incredibly laggy.

Do you like bf2 2017 in it's current state?

[@Jwlar]

It's pretty good, I wish they supported it longer though, so much more potential was there.

[@eatmybullets5489]

I always thought Battlefront 2 was a little overrated. I prefer battlefront 1. Better maps, better atmosphere, and bigger battles with air battles as well! In bf1 the player count (offline) is 25v25 while in bf2 its 16v16 for console. Thats a big turn off, for me at least

[@Jwlar]

Very true - battlefront 1 also had better graphics on Ps2 - at least it seemed like it did. For me, the story mode and galactic conquest still make the second my fave, but you make some very good points, especially about the maps.

[@ultrabot2122]

I need to agree too but if Pandamic had more time, then BF2 would have put more content in it
