@@CommanderLongJohn i agree, Battlefront 2 (2005) is infinitely better than any of official games published by EA and Ubi.

@@Jackfromshack It definitely is, but I meant EA's Battlefront 2 is definitely better than this Insurgency mod, and had it have traditional BF2-2005 gameplay definitely better than Galactic Contention. But nah, we need points to spawn in vehicles and can't attack enemy ships from within in space 🥴 I think EA's logic was 'we don't wanna just make Battlefield Star Wars,' but that's literally what the original Star Wars Battlefront games were modeled after ffs, and what made them so great.

[@Bukubands223]

I definitely wouldn't call Jedi survivor in any way casual or mass appeal based and I'm a old Republic EU pre Disney and Star wars literature fan... I am going to be honest and say it surprised me with how much they must have done their due diligence in the creation of the new video game along with a few of the Disney series' as well.

[@Mega-Brick]

I don't know if I'd specifically say gritty ones, but I do want more Star Wars games that are unique and willing to do their own thing like the pre-Disney ones were. Republic Commando was gritty in a way Star Wars wasn't, Force Unleashed was an anime-esque power fantasy, etc. They were willing to tell new types of stories and weren't super worried about how it fits in with the rest of the franchise's lore. Story/game first, lore second. And I wish modern games would start doing unique stuff with their art-styles again. Ever since Disney took charge, everything looks like the movies and the Clone Wars, with that semi-realism inspired art-style. Heck, half their games look like they share the same assets. It's so boring, creatively. ... Frankly, even this mod doesn't do much artistically, but given the nature of it it's forgiveable.

[@TheRedRaven_]

@@Bukubands223 The game is good in terms of gameplay but when it comes to story I'm not a fan of Cal Kestis, nothing about him is interesting. Also the game is still horribly optimized, it needed to cook for at least a year longer. That being said, Survivor makes Outlaws look like ET the videogame for Atari.

[@jfygt2623]

@@Spudtron98 I don't know what you meant by stiff movement. It actually feels more grounded than BFV or BF2024 in terms of movement. Plus gunplay is balance for all classes. Each class serves its purposes that you are required to change classes depending on the scenario. Star cards is the one thing I agree with you. But that's already embedded in the core of the game and nothing much we can do. To cope on that, DICE did removed the lootboxes for those star cards and you can easily grind those with just playing the game. I'm not defending DICE or EA at all, but this is the best thing that came out from DICE since BF1.

Because they are mimicking the cartoon show most of the time. Watch any major battle between the clones and CIS and the laser show is crazy because the fire rate is super high which is fair because they are firing a high powered light and light travels fucking quick boy.

If I were going to make Battlefront 3, I would start by remastering the original Battlefront 1 and 2 maps while adding new areas to them where appropriate or in the case of Geonosis, I might mesh the two maps together somehow. I would also add maps from planets in the clone wars series. As for how the trooper classes would work, it would be similar to the original Battlefront 2, except the Clones would carry thermal detonators and emp grenades. Also, the jet trooper's emp launcher would get the original Battlefront 1 animation and sound. The clone commander would dual-wield pistols instead of having the chaingun. I would add the Clone commando, droid commando, imperial commando, and rebel commando as playable classes. Then, the space battles would feature players being able to control their sides capital ship and frigates, while other players control fighters and boarding craft. The smaller craft would launch from the frigates and the capital ship. The boarding craft can land in enemy hangers to prevent them from launching fighters and give saboteurs the opportunity to destroy the ship from the inside. I would alter Jango fett so he has his dual pistols. I would add Ahsoka Tano, Savage Oppress, the Grand Inquisitor, and Ezra Bridger as playable heroes for their respective eras. I wouldn't include anything that happens after episode six.

Just pure gameplay, with maybe some Elite Classes to find on the field, just like in BF1. Also when the opponent team has less points, they should get something like a Behemoth just like in BF1. If they could make a BF1 like Star Wars game, it would be one of the greatest shooters to exist, when it comes to immersion.
