Star Wars Battlefront II

[Vide0Gam3r]

Anyone play it? I "have" it on PC but multiplayer won't work. It's still fun, though.

 

[Gilles]

You pirate you.
I've got it for the PS2, and the multiplayer is lame. Everyone uses rocket launchers.

Playing with your friends is fun from time to time, but the first one was better. Wish I had just bought the first one.

 

[Vide0Gam3r]

Really? How so?

 

[Gilles]

The levels were far better, vehicles didn't suck, and the new heroes thing was dumb.

 

[Mechanical Man]

I prefered the first one too, especially because you were able to be 1st person in vehicles and heroes thing in bf2 was dumb.

I played only 1 in multiplayer, but even there they mostly used rocket and grenade launchers. (standard blaster just sucked)

 

[VeljkoM]

I like them both.In first it is cool that you can play missions with every faction.
In second missions were better but only with clones.
In second you have space battles and in first you can pilot plane but is useless(exept maybe to capture enemy base from behind).
Hero idea is cool but to much.So just turn off heroes and there is no problem.

 

[Vide0Gam3r]

Huh. Maybe THAT would work better than Battlefront 2, then. Maybe I'll try it out.

 

[Ghost765]

ah...battlefront 2... i was so godlike at that game.
i used to use rocket launchers, just to use their mines, but i quit using them. I realized the true power was in the sniper rifle and the blaster.
I once got 60 kills in one life with the blaster as a storm trooper online on the death star map. After i got the elite rifle, killing other people was easy.

 

[VeljkoM]

Yea.The award weapons are strong.Did you get better sniper.You have to have some number of headshots.

 

[oXReapeRXo]

My friends and I used to play the first battlefront for hours.
The second one was sweet. If you went to the custom maps setting dealy (you know the playlist thing) on Hoth set it on the gamemode hunt and play as a whompa. Its a blast, you can get like 200 kills on hard easy. And the Jedi battle on Tattoine was awesome. Darth Maul Owns, I tore my friends up, most of them wouldn't even play me XD

To bad I got creamed in multiplayer, how does that always happen?

 

[VeljkoM]

General Grievus is better.

 

[cool_is_i]

BF2 is pretty good,
i only like the space battles and playing as jedi. + the Jedi ONLY map that wicked.
But, they took out all the good maps from BF1 that really sucked. ;|

 

[VeljkoM]

Only thing I don't like in BF 1 and 2 is that you can't play every faction vs every faction.
I want to play with droids against empire or rebels.

 

[Mechanical Man]

That doesn't make sense. It's like you play with Vikings against ancient Egyptians.

Still, in BF1 you can't play against those kommissars in Naboo.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Ah BF2 on the Ps2, good times, good times..

I did kinda played Multiplayer, and yes everyone used rocket launchers there. But I didn't, they thought I sucked, but I was king of the hill (or space) anyway with my gun.

I was also an awesome pilot in space.

Oh and, don't go sniper class on a console, ever. You need to aim correctly, which is hard on a console. Snipe only when you use a computer.

 

[brad.dude03]

BF1 isn't that great of a game, but it's still better than the second one.

Yes, the graphics are better, yes it has a campaign (not really). However, the fighting just sucks. The new units make everything a little unbalanced, and as soon as heroes come into the fight, you're basically fucked. Heroes can't fight against each other without just spamming attacks, and since Darth Maul is the fastest, spamming attacks works the best with him, thus, he's the most overpowered hero in the game.

Space battles are neat too, though, I'd been waiting for something like that for a long time.

Basically, if they do a Battlefront 3, they should get it right. Take the best parts of the first and second and amalgamate it into the third to create something perfect.

 

[VeljkoM]

Hope that they will listen.
But it is not that hard to kill hero.Those who played BF2 surly have been in Jedy Academy.
You have to kill all those jedies and to complete other tasks.Heroes are just rally strong units.They can die unlike in BF1.

As stated before, taking out heroes was on option, so I guess it's a moot point. And to tell the truth, I was surprised that they managed to pull it off as well as they did, I thought it was going to be even worse.

The levels and vehicles were the biggest problem I had, the new levels sucked hardcore. I have no idea why they didn't just include the old ones! Doesn't seem like they used a different engine.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

Don't forget the speeders were almost useless.

 

[Gilles]

They weren't in the first one.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

But they are still useless.

 

[VeljkoM]

Yes they were in the first ones and even then they were stupid.
But all the other vehicles are good.I just love when I drive AT-AT and kill everybody.
In BF2 vehicles have week points so you could easier destroy them.

 

[brad.dude03]

If they had pulled the hero combat from Jedi Academy or better yet Jedi Outcast it would have been fine. But no, they have to go and create this idiotic hack and slash combat crap.

 

[VeljkoM]

Just turn heroes off.Or better yet kill them all.

 

[Sabertooth]

I was an awesome game.
LotR Conquest is going to work in kinda the same way, so that'll be sweet.

I never got to online BF2 though, D:

 

[Ghost765]

no, i HATED the beam sniper rifle. it went through people and shit, but it had such a bad zoom.

 

[VeljkoM]

Sniper could use some work.But blaster is the best.

 

[Belgarath]

I liked BF1 better, except for space battles, those were pretty cool on the second one. BF1 had a better targeting system, and better graphics (for whatever reason). Also, the maps and just about everything was cooler.

 

[VeljkoM]

Better graphics?Don't think so.
But maps were cooler in first one.
And in first one there was no award weapon system.

 

[Dr. House]

i sold my version god i hate that i did that i want it back now but ok i wahs realy good

 

[VeljkoM]

Blizzard should make Starcraft to be like this.Or maybe Warcraft (No Wow like).

 

[Ghost765]

speeders werent THAT bad. fast transportation, + only vehicle that u can run people over with.

 

[VeljkoM]

In first you could even kill heroes.At least i saw that on youtube.
But Starcraft Battlefront would be better.

 

[TheDivineBoss]

What would be cool is to put like.. 100 human players or 200 Insane-Mode bots in one map, like Kashyyyk. Or in space, that would be cool.

 

[VeljkoM]

Yea bots are stupid.Hope that they will make third part.

 

[brad.dude03]

the maps were too small for the vehicles. Like the speeders moved too fast, and you could never use any of the starfighters to particular advantage, just spinning around in tight circles so you don't get raped in an explosion caused by accidental desertion.

I liked the second game's maps just because they were more expansive, in the vehicle maps anyway. If you didn't want vehicles, you played a smaller map, simple as that. But with the first one, they all had vehicles, and it was basically all bad.

 

[Ghost765]

just play on Tantive IV with full bots/reinforcements. its like mass slaughter.

 

[FamousPker49]

BF 2 is awesome. If you are good at the sniper/blaster then you own in multiplayer. I really want a BF3 for nextgen.

 

[Ghost765]

well, BF3 already came out. for PSP. Its actually not that bad, you can customise your colors, your weapons, and your armor.

 

[VeljkoM]

Will they create one for PC?

That's true. Too bad the vehicles suck in BF2.

The first one had some awesome maps though. The one icy place with two large bases, one get's vehicles and the other gets a bunch of turrets. It was a little unbalanced, but that made it fun offline since it was a challenge. The naboo beach (I think it was called that) where one team gets a base, and the other gets vehicles.

 

[VeljkoM]

Why BF2 vehicles suck?They look fine to me.(beside AT-AT)

 

[TheDivineBoss]

It was Kashyyyk. Although, it's not really a base. More like some random defenses glued together.

 

[VeljkoM]

That was my favourite map in first game.The best thing to do there if you ask me is to capture enemies spawn point for vehicles.

 

[Gilles]

I didn't say they looked bad, I said they suck, ie. they can be killed with a pistol. Like the AT-ATs at Hoth, can be killed by turrets and snow speeders. In the first one, you actually feared them.

 

[VeljkoM]

No I meant they were working fine for me.
You will have to shot vehicles really really long with pistol.
And rocket launcher is for vehicles.
That is whole point of rocket launchers.You can always be an engineer and fix it.

 

[Dr. House]

i agre it takes ages with a pistol to kill a vehicle

 

[Gilles]

One man should not be able to kill a vehicle. I don't care if it's realistic, it's not fun.

 

[VeljkoM]

So you say vehicle can't kill guy with rockets?
It is not that easy with rockets to destroy vehicles.You need at least two guys and they can be killed easy.

Critical hits much? I don't play online, so maybe players can live in vehicles, but honestly, this is PS2, one of the worst online consoles.
