>Battlefront 2 came out almost 10 years ago>Still looks better than any other Star Wars game and most games in generalHow did they do it?
>>738661408Battlefront 2 came out 21 years ago.
ea battlefront is the perfect example of how fucked up modern games are. i dont give a fuck how good things look if the gameplay is lacking and there is a bunch of modernized bullshit mechanics crammed into the game. i played SWBF 2005 competitively a while back and a few of those guys would play EA battlefront here and there and they always came back to the older game despite the free radical games looking "bad" by todays standards. its just not the same.
>>7386615302017 was 9 years ago
>>738661408Still not giving money to EA for Disneywars multiplayer slop.
>>738661408>Want to go back in>Remind myself I would have to go through +10000 hours sweats perfect parry/movement fags
>>738661623Free Radical didn't make the old Battlefront games. Pandemic did. And EA's Battlefront games are objectively far better. Those old ones aged horribly and feel like shit to play.
>>738661408The photogrammetry DICE used on their Battlefront games and BF1 and V was so fucking good. I can't believe they stopped using it. It was the peak of graphics by far, and the games ran and played flawlessly too. They've really taken massive steps back from it.
>>738662168It came out in 2005.
>>738661408cohesive art directionexcessive use of post processing to smear away any form of detail
>>738662168Fuck off. The real Battlefront 2 came out in 2005.
>>738662554No.
>>738662350the modern games are lazy slop titles with less content and a shiny veneer which hamstring your player choices compared to the old games. they suck. despite access to more powerful consoles/pcs they couldnt even do the obvious thing either which was to increase player or bot count. they should have made the battles larger and given you more options but all they did was kneecap everything like locking vehicles behind soitokens.
>>738662554I used to be like you. But I finally tried to go back and play the originals a couple of years ago and found they were far inferior to EA's. Also, original Battlefront 1>>>>>>2. Original Battlefront 2 is the worst game of the four actually, by a lot.
>>738661623>I played SWBF 2005 competitively
>>738662714Because the original Battlefront 2 was a rushed lazy asset flip of 1 they pushed out literally less than one goddamn year before the last game came out to try to get it out the door at the same time Revenge of the Sith came out
>>738662670No they aren't. Bizarre delusional post.
>>738662770Exactly. Even back then I was disappointed. The addition of being able to play the hero characters and the space battles did not outweigh that the maps were generally worse. It lost a lot in translation.
>>738662890Playable heroes was a dumb idea anyway, it was more cool when you were just a clone trooper getting help from a Jedi general
>shilling EAfront in 2026Do retards really?
>>738662718i dont blame you for thinking its funny. i do too. i typically do not get invested into multiplayer games past a casual level. i just did it for fun but was on a few teams. like millions of people-- i have good memories playing the game casually, but i got to know a lot of really good players who taught me a lot. and that game objectively has way more to learn than the modern games. you would honestly be surprised. you get railroaded really hard how you play in the new titles and their boring.>>738662776sorry its true. even on an objective level if you dont want to agree with what i said, EA is severely lacking in map diversity. its a fucking slop title.
The photogramettery tech is cool but nothing was interactable. To be fair modern games still lack in that department.
>>738663151It's obvious you've never even played it. Very strange thing to lie about.
>>738663190Didn't DICE use photograndmatelemetry in Battlefield 1 and V though? You could blow holes in the ground and level buildings and shit in those games
>>738663252i have in fact i got the first EA battlefront game right at launch. i still have the disc. but i havent touched it since the year it came out. there isnt anything that the modern games do better than the old games and objectively they give the player less options and they ship with less content.
>>738663313Yes. Battlefront 1, Battlefield 1, Battlefront 2, and Battlefield V all used it and the same version of the engine. Then they ditched it for Battlefield 2042 for some reason.
battlefront 2 sucked now battlefront 2, that's a real game
>>738663910For me it'd modded battlefront 2
one tactic i like that you can do in the old battlefront game is you can pick the heavy class and put a mine on the front of your tank, then get back in your tank and drive it into the enemy tank when youre low on health and know youre going to die. easy way to get a point and help your team. even if friendly fire is on and it gets you too, you remove the enemy teams tank instantly. based fucking game.
>>738664658Wait that's a mod? Every time a pic of all the heroes has been posted I thought maybe the game was worth reinstalling again
>>738661408I'm more surprised they haven't made a battlefield 3. I know this one had a huge controversy and financial disaster with the lootboxes, but those have since been removed and even this EAbattlefront 2 has been having a resurgence in popularity for at least the past year.
>>738665303Yeah it's the 20v20 Heroes vs Villains server on Kyber
>>738662714trukeBattlefront 2015 > Battlefront 2 2017 > Battlefront 2004 > Battlefront 2 2005
>>738665371i honestly dont care because unless they make real innovations theres no point in them making a third game because it will be exactly the same as ea battlefront 2. what do you think ea battlefront 3 would even be that would justify making a new title? i would buy it if they (they wont) had>30 or 40 maps (frame work is already there by using the best maps of EA BF 1 and 2 plus referencing the old 2004/2005 titles)>had options for double the players/offline bot battles (old games had XL mode)realistically if they had it so you could have 32v32 or 64v64 or whatever on levels like hoth or geonosis that would be a must play>did what the old games were doing with cancelled classic battlefront 3 which is ground to space ability(hardware is strong enough they could do it on at least a few levels but theyre too lazy)>removed the need for vehicle tokens>had real customization for certain units like clone commanders giving you a halo reach level of controltheres lot of ways they can improve the game and make them a must have must play but they will never do it so i just prefer the old games. the old titles did so much with so little and today 2 decades later the fact they cant even make an attempt at pushing the bar anywhere is actually insane and insulting and highlights the difference between old devs being ambitious and new devs just doing the bare minimum to ship a product
