Star Wars Battlefront 2 - 5 Years Later

In this video we take a look back at Star Wars Battlefront 2, as it was released on this day 5 years ago. Battlefront 2 came a long way, from a disastrous launch, to a full scale redemption, to a sudden end in it's prime when it was cut off by EA. We take a trip down memory lane of the controvery, highs and lows of EA's most notorious and possibly best Star Wars Game.

Me and my friend once had a match on supremacy on Kamino....it lasted 2 hours!!!! Both teams were that good at defending and it just so amazing and so much fun. We ended up winning in the end and it was one of the best memories I've ever had. Still grieving over this game

[@perrydiamaduros6186]

Same here, 3 hour match on Geonosis. After a while I was mentally ready to stop, but I knew I just had to keep pressing on toward a victory for the Republic. One of my craziest multiplayer experiences to day, my friends have a hard time believing me when I tell them it happened lol.

You are right. This is one of the only big Star Wars games that each generation coming up will have until something else.

[@Makocat]

This is the only game that is worth still playing and it's no longer being updated lol. Meanwhile Lego starwars just releases character packs, Fallen order is good but a one hit wonder (A really good wonder) And Squadrons is kinda dead or filled with people too good with glitches. And any other game out now is either cheap mobile or too old to be populated enough.

[@siwa9878]

A very good comment. Yes. I personally would even say, both Battlefront games. I personally still prefer Battlefront 1 2015 to Battlefront II 2017. Battlefront 2015 had its flaws and Battlefron II made great improvements, but there was just something special about Battlefront 2ß15's atmosphere. It captured the "Star Wars feeling" better than this game and I preferred the first game, because of its unique Gameplay over BF II 2017. Battlefront 2015 is my favouite Star Wars game ever.

[@garonmclelland6539]

Just have to hold on 15 more years and one more console later to get 1 single more multiplayer star wars game😂

[@DarkestKnightshade]

Battlefront 1 is still out here if you're interested. I've been playing for the past 11 months, around 300 hrs in game, and gotten every gun, and almost every diorama/achievement, which requires tons of gameplay in all modes and all dlc's. There are plenty of hackers, but the game is still fighting to stay alive, and is even more active on console.

I remember pre-ordering this game and being so excited when it released. Every year since its release I always come back around November and start to play it again for a few months. Everytime I return I remember all the years and things I have done in my life and how I have played this game through some of the worst times in my life. This is a comfort game for me, and I absolutely love it, I wish we had a better future on this game or a sequel because there is nothing quite like battlefront II. I hope to see this franchise live again.

Funny you mention this game and memories. Around Christmas 2017 I was settling into my career and had just moved into my own place. I was dating who is now my wife at the time. Everything was going great. Star Wars and Christmas has kind of always gone hand in hand for me. (Childish nostalgia) I remember one particular evening, I had the house to myself. I turned in early, plugged in the Christmas tree that me and my girl decorated, and sat on the couch all evening and played BF2 for hours. I can’t tell you why it is such a great memory, or what exactly happened to make it so extraordinary, but that is one of the happiest memories I have in recent years. Not a care in the world, just kicked back on the couch diving into the Star Wars galaxy for hours; with the comfort of a cozy home, a good job and a good woman. All at Christmastime. That was such s simple but fun night.

[@MrMafiaDog]

I still remember the Geonosis update and how cool it was. I vividly remember how epic the sandstorm as everyone didn’t know what to do and just started firing into the storm creating some epic visuals. And I had the scariest moment of my life as a droid when I saw a blue lightsaber activate right in front of me lol.

My favorite memmory of the game was about a year ago, where I played GA and was a Specialist the entire round on Kashyyk and finally started getting around the class, and became the second best player in the match with no bs tactics. It was incredible. I have since then started moving on from SW and I am currently focusing on my real life and starting getting serious and growing up. I to this day wish that game got revived.

[@flamingtorch7113]

Sadly I had stopped playing around 2018-2019 era of BT2 but I was having an absolute blast with it. It was so fun and I would even say it was actually one of the few games I was actually decent at, along with that it was the first game I ever prestige in!! And I was so happy of what it became and how it recovered from what it once was. And personally for me and one of my happiest memories for the game is when it was Christmas of 2017 and I just got the game and got my new PS4 and I was sleeping in my playroom(it's where I had all of my games and consoles) and I was staying on the pullout couch that we had in there and I remember booting up the game for the first time and having my mom bring me up a nice ham and cheese sandwich with pretzels and sweet honey mustard. And it tasted sooooooo good! And I was eating that while I was playing the campaign and I was having a blast; for my second memory was when I heard the game was getting a major update having the loot box system being taken away along with the Obi Wan Kenobi, General Grievous, and clone wars stuff being added I just knew I had to play again and I did that and I had an absolute blast!! And for my final one was when I got a big achievement unlocked which was when your account reached level 50 and it says "The force is strong with this one". And I don't know why but it filled me with so much joy and made me extremely happy and made me so glad and proud that I am such a big Star Wars fan!!! Whats your favorite memory TheOzzyJedi ?

[@clonexg1018]

during the dark ages some lobbies in hvv would just go into a circle and form something I called "emote parties" where we would just spam emotes at each other for fun before that one guy gets bored and starts the match again, not one of the big memories but one of the best because even at its worst people still found ways to enjoy it.

[@gonkdroid5414]

This game came out on my birthday in 8th grade, so I preordered it. It was messy at first sure, but the memories I have had with it have been immense. I have made so many memories, had so many laughs, got better at gaming in general, loved Star Wars even more, all from this game. I’m glad it has such a positive legacy with the fans, and I really hope we that some day, we can get the perfect Star Wars game of all time: Battlefront III

I still play this game every weekend because it is dream come true for me. Seeing the clone wars era in a modern AAA fps is still surreal. Seeing clones and battle droids just put a big smile on my face. It marked a beginning for star wars media, now theres prequel stuff everywhere you look. And I know its over, but I don’t want to let it go. For what we got. I say its good enough for me to play until the next battlefront. I wish I can explain more. But I sticked around solely because of the clone wars era in this game. Its sad to see it end, but im glad we have something left to play on repeat.

I think my favorite memory ever in BF2 came from a Co-op bug where when you partied up with friends it could throw certain members to the opposite team. My friends and I queued up for Republic co-op and I ended up being on the Separatist team. Now obviously this was a bug and got patched in like a week, but for maybe three hours my friends and I essentially competed for who could carry the bots through an entire co-op game, and it was absolutely amazing. It was so much fun and made me wish for custom games SO bad. Maybe someday!

No matter what it would be the most fun I’ve had in a pvp game. Well we ended up moving on for a while but came back a year later. We started seeing names in every lobby we’d join. Well eventually on of them sent a friend request and joined our chat. Turns out he was part of the x squad and remembered our names too. It was amazing and I truly truly miss this game.

I think it's obvious both games had their faults (2015's being lack of content and that season pass nonsense, and 2017's being proper support for the project) and honestly if all we saw from a Battlefront 3 was a return of the good stuff from both games I'd be hooked instantly.

My favorite and most lasting memory of battlefront 2 would be one of the 1st matches I ever played. It was on the planet of kasshyyyk, Droids vs Clones. I was a sentry droid, making a push on the last Juggernaut tank. Of course I wasn't the only one, half my team was there and we were gaining ground. We finally took control of the juggernaut and started the detonation sequence. We only had a moment to brace ourselves before the clone counter attack started but this time they had Yoda with them. I was inside the main cabin of the juggernaut when Yoda pushed past the door guards and into the tank. If you're not a fan of Star Wars you would think a jedi completely surrounded in a small space is the end but I can assure you, as all Star Wars fans know, it's just the beginning. We had the advantage at the start of this bout but the tables were now turned. We were trapped in this tank with a hurricane of force pushes and lightsaber slashes. I knew what was happening but all I can see was this tiny green ninja with a lightsaber jumping around killing everyone in the room yet somehow missing me. Everyone in that tank was trying to kill Yoda but somehow we just couldn't hit him. It felt like we were in the movies during a critical action scene. We had the numbers, we had the fire power yet somehow we couldn't kill just this one person and are forces we're slowly and methodically being cut down. I would like to say that I was the last man standing from my team and it came to an epic battle between me and Yoda but sadly I got Killed somewhere in the middle of that fight. Regardless that we ended up losing that specific confrontation and I think we lost the match itself, It didn't matter. That moment was the greatest moment I experienced in playing a Star Wars game in a long time. My only regret is that after I died I failed to hit the record button on my console so I can relive this moment outside of just my memory.

Still a great game to this day sad it never reached its full potential

This brings back bittersweet nostalgia. I had too many good memories of this game Anyone remember when it was possible to spawn at the top of the map and shoot down below?

My favorite thing was the first year or two playing this game every day. And then the Clone Wars era content hit. Now that was a fun time!!!!

I remember me and two friends going from playing the co-op mode and me, wanting to change it up throwing us into a supremacy match and getting Geonosis. All we had played for like 4-5 solid months was co-op and so suddenly to switch back to multiplayer, and a totally new mode for us and to have the AT-TE’s just drop in in front of us was just awesome. I’ll never forget their reactions when I jumped in it and said, “This’s were the fun begins.” Loved this game, 1 of 3 games I ever preordered and was the only one I was never really disappointed with. Without a doubt it’s one of my favorite games to fuck around with my friends on and shoot the shit. And when it was made free back in 2020/2021 (I don’t remember which) it was just awesome to see my friends reactions to just what a truly amazing game it is, especially their first reactions to Ewok Hunt 😈. I wish that just like they’ve managed to do with Jedi Fallen order and SWBF2 that Disney and Lucas Arts could stop trying to recreate and instead recapture that old time SW feel of some of these great games and not make the same mistake that they made in the 2015 & 17 BF’s by selling out to the newer movies which no one wanted (except Rogue One) and focus more towards those things that built up peoples love for Star Wars (I.E. CW, OT, and the Prequels) to drive and sell games. Idk just my own thoughts

5 years later and still disappointed that we didn’t get Ashoka and Mr. Take a Seat. That would be one of Mace’s emotes.

One of the best games i ever played. I haven't played for a year or so but now i watched this i want to reinstall.

I recently started playing the game and its soo fun to play the atmosphere of war and hearing the blasters sound is amazing love it and also the graphics are too good.

[@MrWEST1]

I met a group of dudes in lfg due to this game, and we played for about 2 years straight. This was one of the most fun games and gaming experiences I had when it was in its prime. I literally played it with or without frienda every day. Then some lack luster updates and EA bailing on us all killed it. Rip BF2, you will will be missed.

Ewok hunt has to be one of the most enthralling game modes of any game ever

[@jacquelinetuohy2211]

One of the best times i had in battlefront is playing heroes vs villains with my friends because it was fun there were funny times and when ever the match was hard or intense we found think of battle strategies of how to win and same goes for hero showdown. I also would like to say that I got luke skywalker max about a month ago and it has been a pleasure playing him.

[@juhmaen4074]

this game has just such an importance to me because it connects me and my best friend who unfortunately moved away some years ago. we started playing like half a year after its release but didn't really knew about the problems the game had at its beginning (it was after the pay-to-win system), it just was so fun and we had so much quality time especially during qurantine. even today we play like once a week and recently discovered the showdown mode again, some games are so intense its incredible! i love this game and can just hope that there will be a battlefront 3 that is even better than battlefront 2
