Battlefront was designed to look and feel like the Original Trilogy movies and it was great at that. Unfortunately, it ONLY was the Original Trilogy and didn’t even have enough content in the base game to justify $60.

Me with game pass:

[@captainobvious4556]

I was young and got duped.

[@famulanrevengeance3044]

I thought it was great. Simple, clean, fun. BF2 has much more stuff but also more grinding. It's nice to have all this stuff but also a bit of a chore to figure it all out and unlock all the star cards.

[@MrStrangermoon]

rouqe one also in game. There is orgnal trlogy content on battlefront 2. Therese is a mod remove all clone and new era stuff from battlefront 2 to menus also if you want another mod replace og trilogy solders and heros every map. But battlefront 2 not have big maps on arcade like first games and graphicly not level of first game. Splitscreen mod better for heros on bftf2 more heros yet bcouse vhcles not in many maps and limited for offline mod splitscreen vehicle dogfights only in spacecsection. Skirmish offline first game include all online things so playable splitscreen too this give first game value for future.

I already loved Star Wars (the clone wars especially) and my 8 or 9 year old self thought it was the coolest thing on earth and I begged my parents to buy it. Eventually I pestered them enough to get it on thanksgiving and I played it for almost 100 hours with my best friend. The game wasn’t perfect but it was a core memory for me as a child and gave me a lot of good memories and feelings. Really nostalgic seeing these old clips and I honestly wish I could go back at some points and play it for the first time again.

Hi 👋,as an active player of battlefront 2015 on PC, the community is small but very much alive! (Around 50 players active most days). The only gamemode that is still active is 12 players modes so I’d recommend you only filter that (usually 1-3 full servers). Or there is an event every Friday for the larger gamemodes of 40+ people which is organised in the discord. I do warn though most ppl left in this game are very sweaty (most have thousands of hours) but it’s still loads of fun in 2025!!

Battlefront 2015 was soooo good, notable maps were hoth (regular and HvV) The DLC maps were incredible, especially the ep 5 ones, though it's been so long. Heroes were so rare to see that they felt super impactful but weren't game breaking unless they were a god gamer, vs. BF2 where they are slightly less impactful but dictate a large percentage of the fights due to how common they were.

This game was honestly kind of its own thing. It had very few similarities to the games before it and it never got close to returning to that formula like its sequel almost did. It was a lot of fun, though. I sunk a lot of time into it and despite a good list of frustrations I did have, nothing can take away from how immersive this game was. Even now, if I hop into a match, I feel as though I can SMELL the locations you’re fighting in. No other Star Wars game has made me feel like I’m not just in the movies, but the places they were filmed. Breathtaking.

The battle pick up system was good, especially for vehicles. As a long time Battlefield player its extremely annoying when players wait in the spawn screen to camp for jets and tanks.
