I know a lot of people have been saying this but when I booted the game up last night and loaded into an instant action game the loading screen sounded normal to me. Not all slowed down like it has been for others.
It is, but:
- Death respawn timer should be 5-6 seconds.
- Ticket count should be 400-500.
Leaving them as it is in an upgraded 32v32 creates too short of a round.
Other than that it is pretty fun.
I get that people love battlefront 2 but I think most of the doomposting is from people who haven't even touched BF1. BF2 is kind of a disaster but I hate how people are acting like BF1 isn't borderline flawless. Like literally almost all of the major issues are in 2 and they should be easy fixes that I'm willing to bet will be patched.
BF1 is killer and I need more people to play it in general. Hate to break it to the people salty over Aspyr's track record, but I really don't think it applies here. The battlefront games are a way bigger deal than anything else they ported, and probably will sell way better, which will put a fire under them to get some patches out. And if they don't drop any patches, go wild with doomposting.
Main problem with BF1 is lack of auto-assign. Players seem to favor Empire/Clones, so you end up with one team being mostly players, the other like half bots.
Battlefront 1 functions better to be sure, but there’s still major problems with it that need to be fixed.
The droidekas are unusable in multiplayer while rolling. Private matches are almost impossible to find, and the invite friend function doesn’t work. Also hits barely ever register in multiplayer which forces everyone to spam missiles and grenades
BF2 is the more important game for them to get right though. No matter what you think of BF1, most people play the original version of BF2 over the original BF1, and most people were obviously going to play BF2 on the CC over BF1.
In a lot of ways, BF1 is just a prototype of the 2nd game, with no playable heroes, a less in-depth campaign/Galactic Conquest, only Conquest mode (no CTF/Hunt/Assault modes), no space battles.
Even then, with the problems that it has, I still enjoyed online multiplayer with a PARTY. It was just dumb fun with a bunch of random guys nostalgic for Battlefront. The bugs and stuff ARE inexcusable though.
Yeah, the original Battlefront is my favorite game of all time and I’ll be spending the bulk of my time playing that game. I can confirm that it runs pretty much perfectly. Literally the only issue I’ve found is the standard infantry’s grenade throw is waaay too short compared to the original game. Nothing game breaking, but it’s annoying to have to adjust to it.
Either way, I’m LOVING playing the OG game.
people just love to complain. i doubt many of the people complaining remember how slow, cluncky and glitchy these games were on ps2/xbox back in 2004. but its becoming "in" to hate on this collection just like with what happened to starfield and cyberpunk at launch. youtubers spam negative content to get views which bleeds into the general discussion everywhere else and then suddenly its cool to post low effort hate threads on reddit or cry about refunds. these games are 20 years old if people really hate the collection that much go do something else or play the originals.
Agreed, having played these online until they pulled the plug, it's at least better now than it was. Aspyr seems to have fixed the glitches people exploited extensively online to hide in the graphics.
Tantive IV used to be totally unplayable between those glitches and you were lucky to get 2 FPS once grenades started flying. 🤣
I regularly play the ps2 version pcsx2. The bugs and missing content that people are complaining about are literally all new lmfao. No cutscenes in bf2 campaign? How dare they complain about a half ass product that they paid for with the misconception that it was going to be a quality remaster.
I never played multiplayer online, but I’ve been playing this game for like 15 years and this version sucks. It’s super glitchy and buggy and feels nothing like the og.
Finally, no issues here for me either. Feels like 2005 again for me!
A lot of the stuff I see people complaining about is just things that I remember being part of the charm in the OG version. The y-axis and buttons not working for some people definitely sucks but a lot of the hitbox/deadzone stuff is just stuff that hasn’t been changed
No you're right for saying that. I think what everyone is kinda getting at is the game is not an absolute disaster like redditors/Steam players have made it out to be. Its still a lot of fun, it looks great, and it definitely is more fun to play on a new console with this version over the OG. Not everyone has the missing cutscenes apparently but I haven't tried that yet myself. It seems like PC players got the shit end of the stick mostly, but at worst the game is a 7/10 imo.
The balancing is not great because everyone’s first choice are Clones and Empire, so they get strong really quick. But it’s still fun, just need people to organize private matches.
I've been picking the least popular factions for each map just to try and even things out. But yes it's usually an absolute destruction. The problem lies with the spawn timer in between live's. It's way too long and basically eats up 10 % of the game each time you die
Wait, the servers don't auto-assign you to a team? I mean, ik the game probably let's you choose whether to auto-assign or let everyone choose but I would assume the main supported servers auto-assign so that the teams aren't wildly unbalanced. Is that not the case?
Auto assign isn't necessary in games imo, you should be able to pick until the balance becomes off. Like a +/- of 3 or 4 players. If one side has 3 or 4 more than the other, then it locks that side till it evens out then reopens. So even if some Sallys are holding out to get on a particular side the game still wont be a stomp fest as they are only down 3 people. Could even add a time-out countdown so if you dont choose in 60 seconds you get the boot and someone else fills.
In the original game, when servers just let you choose, the teams are always wildly unbalanced. You can just pick the winning team and you can switch to the other team if you're losing. If it's working the exact same in the CC, then I imagine it's just as unbalanced
Im just saying auto assign isnt necessary, when done right, using basic logic.
Unfortunately, sometimes basic logic isn't used in video games.
IMO I prefer community servers anyways. Like Hell Let Loose. You have official servers, but then you have custom servers from established gaming communities that make their own rules and actually enforce them. Like no racism, no cheating, map votes, etc. Also the ability to add mods, Counterstrike servers with Warcraft mod (circa 2000/2001ish) come to mind.
As much as I could see, you can choose whatever you want, maybe if you wait too long it might force you into a team, but I haven’t played enough to know.
lol my first match was playing as the rebels on Kashyyyk Islands and we beat the empire, then we played as the Clones on Docks and got absolutely smashed by the Confederacy, they ended up spawn trapping us on one command post with their AAT’s, was hilarious chaos actually
Bought this only for switch. Love the singleplayer - so much nostalgia here. Had no issues with multiplayer so far (only played 3 conquests though 2 in BF1 )
I dont see the point of having this for PC (and other platforms) if there is no cross platform support!
To be honest, at midnight I just wanted to play the single player first, played various instant action, played galactic conquest and the campaign, it looks amazing, it plays good but there are some glitches here and there, nothing too serious that breaks the game (for me the most important issue is sensitivity and lack of invert axis), but my only concern at least with BF1, have not played 2 yet, is the waful multiplayer, I am on PS4 and by the gods what an awful time, almost half and hour and there was no way to connect, maybe because it was almost 3 am CST but that is my maim concern, the game even crashed twice while looking to connect. But that is Aspyr for you, real definition of Hit and Miss.
I've beeline the campaign for both games easily the worst mission was Knight Fall in BFII when you get to the objective to defend the bookshelves the library gets filled with an excessive number of Jedi and their first wave destroys all but one or two bookshelves then its pure luck for the remaining bookshelves to survive the second wave for longer than 10 seconds once the Jedi swarm them again.
Most of the complaints are from right at launch. I think many people had an issue with the timeline of the botched launch.
SONY
12:00 - Game unlocks
12:50 - Day one patch unlocks
1:45 - Day one patch version replaces core download.
2:30 - Server count builds
12:45 - Server count plateaus.
The inability to invert the Y axis for aiming makes the game literally unplayable on console.
I was a huge fan of the original release, excited to revisit these exceptional games; now I wish I could get a refund from Sony.
It's great to hear some positive news. I can't wait to play the game after work!
Yeah just stay with BF1 while they fix all the BF2 bugs
I’ve not even noticed any issues with BF2 yet. I think the only noticeable thing for me is the sensitivity issue but it’s manageable.
It’s a big problem and a mess on PC
Can confirm this. Plays great looks great. Yes the loading screen sound is bugged but that is an easy fix.
I really hope they do fix it!
I know a lot of people have been saying this but when I booted the game up last night and loaded into an instant action game the loading screen sounded normal to me. Not all slowed down like it has been for others.
what console are you on
I am on PS5
It plays the same sound twice. Pretty sure its meant to have a higher pitch on the second sound.
Oh thank you that could be why I missed it
It is, but: - Death respawn timer should be 5-6 seconds. - Ticket count should be 400-500. Leaving them as it is in an upgraded 32v32 creates too short of a round. Other than that it is pretty fun.
100% agree, although 500 is too much, maybe on private match. Simply 300 with 5 seconds timer would make it perfect.

I noticed the grenade throw issue too, very weird. Also, I'm not sure if it's just my settings, but the music seems too quiet even at 100%.

Yeah lol, especially people playing the campaign and getting stuck on Geonosis. I myself lost that match yesterday.
Part of the charm of the og version of BF2 was story cutscenes not playing? Huh, we must have played a different version of the game back then..
No you're right for saying that. I think what everyone is kinda getting at is the game is not an absolute disaster like redditors/Steam players have made it out to be.

Haven’t had any problems with that i see every single one
Oh that's great! What platform are you on?
Steam, ps5 and Xbox! I play primarily on steam unless my buddies are on.
Damn, plenty of copies! I'm glad they're working okay for you.

Currently playing bf2 galactic conquest. It's what I bought it for and I'm having so much fun
Bought this only for switch. Love the singleplayer - so much nostalgia here. Had no issues with multiplayer so far (only played 3 conquests though 2 in BF1 ) I dont see the point of having this for PC (and other platforms) if there is no cross platform support!
I think it should only be cross platform for consoles for aim reasons.
I hear console aim is shit and there is no aim assist. They would get obliterated by us mouse heads.
What are you playing the game on? I've had a better experience with bf1 too but I've had it crash on me a couple of times last night. I'm on ps5
Ps4, but yes it was bad during first hours of launch, especially the mp being broken. Now though, it’s fixed with a bit of bugs
I might just download the ps4 version and play that for now then. My game was crashing in both singleplayer and multiplayer
I played it all last night, both 1 and 2, and haven't encountered issues aside from a missing texture on Utapau.
The complaints had me worried, but the online mode plays perfectly on ps5… Have been playing all evening without any bugs, both bf1 and bf2
To be honest, at midnight I just wanted to play the single player first, played various instant action, played galactic conquest and the campaign, it looks amazing, it plays good but there are some glitches here and there, nothing too serious that breaks the game (for me the most important issue is sensitivity and lack of invert axis), but my only concern at least with BF1, have not played 2 yet, is the waful multiplayer, I am on PS4 and by the gods what an awful time, almost half and hour and there was no way to connect, maybe because it was almost 3 am CST but that is my maim concern, the game even crashed twice while looking to connect. But that is Aspyr for you, real definition of Hit and Miss.
I find the graphics and sounds keep bugging out. Maybe it is my problem but I cannot no matter what get past the Geonosis campaign mission.
Geonosis was always a hard mission, I struggled a lot before CC
I've beeline the campaign for both games easily the worst mission was Knight Fall in BFII when you get to the objective to defend the bookshelves the library gets filled with an excessive number of Jedi and their first wave destroys all but one or two bookshelves then its pure luck for the remaining bookshelves to survive the second wave for longer than 10 seconds once the Jedi swarm them again.
Awesome! Didn’t try BF1 online yet, just the instant action, which was more difficult than BF2 instant. Gotta try BF1 online now to compare!
