Take me back to when they had a kill-based system that would allow you to unlock heroes – it gave you incentive to be warier so you could earn the Jedi or Sith you wanted to play as for that battle, whereas the perks and Star Cards of Battlefront II (2017) can arguably make you a bit lazy as a player in comparison, although some of these issues have since been resolved with solid updates to Battlefront II. With both technology and the franchise having come so far in recent years, I feel like they’re trying too hard.įor example, look at Battlefront II (2017) – the introduction of Star Cards and a credit-based system feels to me like they were making it too complicated. I think the reason why I’m asking ‘What Happened To’ is because I miss what Star Wars used to be. Seeing Star Wars Episode I-V told from the perspective of a veteran member of Anakin Skywalker’s regiment, the 501 st Legion, is still amazing to this day.Īlso, I get to be a Jedi. Sure, DICE’s Battlefront II (2017) Inferno Squad storyline was decent, and filled in some pressing questions about the fall of the Empire shortly before The Last Jedi released, but I will always be an original trilogy kind-of-guy. Not only does it address the hero issue to the point where you can actually do a full-on heroes-only battle in Mos Eisley, but the storyline was also the best. This is why the best Battlefront is actually Battlefront II (2005). Seeing Star Wars Episode I-V told from the perspective of a veteran member of Anakin Skywalker’s regiment, the 501 st Legion, is still amazing to this day However, it was irritating how you would see (and inevitably be struck down by) heroes, but not be able to play as them, putting a damper on a solid title. DICE’s first Battlefront, released in 2015, had no campaign at all (I will come to their second one later). Episode III had not been released at the time, the Clone Wars campaign ended with the Battle of Kashyyyk, and super battle droids are not seen until the third mission (well, that was until Disney ruined everything). The voiceovers (of which the robotic CIS droid one is the best) updating you on the command posts and the beeping loading screen theme never fails to impress me, and I found myself singing along to the beeps.įrom a Star Wars viewpoint, it’s refreshing to see how continuity was maintained. While I must admit the graphics of the newer two Battlefront games are so many times better, there was something almost natural about playing this again. This article boils down when I got my PS2 out again and decided to play some classic Battlefront from 2004. While Disney’s latest Star Wars titles certainly made a huge impact on the games industry upon release (both positive and negative), for many gamers it’s the original Battlefront games that represent Star Wars gaming perfectly. S tar Wars Battlefront? Didn’t that come out a few years ago?
