I plan to keep playing Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Classic 2005) for a long time, but you can also expect to see me playing the new Battlefront II in due time as well. It’s important to remember that Star Wars never went away but the public interest has spiked again.
STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 2 GAMERANGER NOT WORKING TV
Regardless, the game is going to sell gangbusters because Disney has managed to get everyone talking about Star Wars again with new films, TV shows, merchandise, and games. Knowing how gamers are in 2017, I think the game will get a little of each.

Based on all the footage of the game I’ve seen so far, it looks like it’s going to bring a lot of great elements and characters into the game.ĮA and DICE also learned from their mistakes with the previous Battlefront game and are including a single-player campaign in the game, something I view as a welcome addition to the new series.Īt the same time, it’s hard not to wonder if the game will be rated on its own merit, or harshly compared to the classic version. Understanding the love I have for this game, leaves me to then ask “Will I love the new Battlefront II?” and the truth is, I don’t really know if I will. Will the Old Battlefront II Impact the New One I do know that when I picked up my copy of the first new Battlefront game on launch night, the servers got slammed just as bad leaving me unable to play the game for the first few hours. The main reason that Battlefront II ’s multiplayer was brought back was due to the impending release of the new Battlefront II later this year and I’m not sure how the game will fare just yet. In a way, it seems kind of fitting for that to occur. It got to the point where the servers were so overloaded that players had issues connecting to games. Needless to say, Disney didn’t anticipate the sheer weight that this game carries and t he servers were promptly slammed by both Steam and GOG players who wanted in on the action. On October 2nd, after the official name of the game on Steam changed from Star Wars: Battlefront II to Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005), it was announced that the multiplayer mode for the game had been reactivated, with support for “up to 64 other players in a heated online battle for control of the galaxy.” and gamers were thrilled. And after all this time, a second option has emerged. Utilizing a client called GameRanger, Battlefront II players have been able to have online matches going all these years.
STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 2 GAMERANGER NOT WORKING PC
While Star Wars: Battlefront II is a great experience in single-player mode, the game’s multiplayer shines as well and PC gamers found a way to keep that alive too. While the console versions of the game will always serve as a great nostalgia point, the PC version of the game is where the fan’s love shines through and through.Ī quick trip over to ModDB reveals just how much work players have put into the game over the years, from adding in content from the first Battlefront to reskins and HD graphics mods, you can find it all. It’s safe to say that this is the game many other fans of the franchise wanted as well, considering that over a decade later the game still has a large player base. This was the Star Wars game I always wanted. During these space battles, you have the opportunity to infiltrate the enemy’s carrier ship and destroy it from the inside. Part of destroying the enemy isn’t just how many vehicles you can destroy, though. The space battles contained in the game have you spawning on your team’s carrier, picking a ship, and heading out into a dogfight.

There were few that merged the two together but this game found a way to do it quite well. Up to this point, most Star Wars games had been either ground games or flight games.

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the game’s space battles at least once.
