I had a great time lagging in multiplayer with you! 10/10, would play at 20fps again!
It looks like the same game
I already have
Backwards compatibility version
Xbox one ehanced
@@ChosenOne-il4bm Technically it is but with revived multiplayer servers and the exclusive maps aswell as 2 characters being added and a bunch of better upgrades aswell as a graphics enhancement but should it do well could possibly mean a company could make a 3rd game like the battlefront 3 we never got
Thanks you 100Percent and BFUpdates for informing us on the Collection. I truly hope it won't come out like this.
@@ChosenOne-il4bm be happy it’s not a full price $60+ game
@@MOCHIII01 the exclsuvie maps and heroes are already on the xbox version, infact i think the backwards compatibility version/Xone enhanced is slightly better as it has forced HDR on which i cant really see in this classic collection

Forgive them for they know not what they do. They're probably not old enough to have played the OG ones.
@summitactical I am. I played this all the time with my friends, we’re turning 31 this year. Kids born in the late 90s/early 00s were not the prime generation for OG Battlefront. Obviously many here are overrepresented and will love it regardless of age (because we’re watching SW content online). But i suspect most gen Z coders or game engineers probably didn’t have the experience.
@summitactical apparently he is
@@afonsordsstfu gen z played both games on their respective consoles. we miss it too. :(

"galactic conquest matches can be incredibly long" meanwhile all the empire at war players are laughing lol

@@Bornst3ll3r ive seen matches on CZcams that have been over an hour
@@bomberboyz1308 They can last many hours lmao
@@whiffyclarke I know they can doesn't mean it can't be multiplayer cause of that
@@bomberboyz1308 Oh I agree. Civilization V and Stellaris are popular online games that can take 5+ hours to complete a game in, so I see no reason Galactic Conquest can't get an online component. It's not that complicated.
This has a server browser before battlefield 2042
What? There literally is a 2049 browser I was just playing it … literally making shit up to prove a point
@@DOGNUHTS. yea but only in the portal mode…
@@GravityKills997_II ??? I literally get full servers every night of normal match making rotations lobbies. With normal XP. What is the complaint.
@@DOGNUHTS. nice doesn’t change it’s a feature in older battlefields there’s really no excuse it’s only in portal(considering portal is dead) I just like to always pick the server with the best connection especially in a game with trash net coding
@@DOGNUHTS. Calm down man it's just a joke. Not that serious.
Not gonna lie, majorly disappointed you can't play Galactic Conquest online with a friend. One of the best things about the game.
Me too, but they never advertised it, and it wasn't online in the originals, so we shouldn't be surprised
Playstation has SharePlay, which allows someone on a different console to play with someone for up to 1 hour. I'm not sure about other consoles, and it would be split-screen, but it could be done
@@travisv6408 bro I just wish felucia wasn’t a silent hill game in the originals, can’t see shit smh
I wish that and the story could be played together
my brain didn’t know how to process that BF1 loading screen..
It’s amazing how they don’t know that it’s almost a meme & no one said anything in development and testing? Bizzare 🤣
18:55 To clear up some confusion, the comic book effects only work for the Wampas in Hunt mode on Hoth.
Hopefully, after how much this game sold, we'll get some updates to iron out the smaller issues.
Hopefully, but knowing they never ironed out Republic Commando's smaller issues (and one very big aiming bug) I'm not getting my hopes up.
I don't see any reason to buy it? If you already have the game is like paying a premium price for a small dlc.
@@iMRCuddles Smoothbrain take. Its an upscaled version of a game that wont run on most systems today due to it being ancient. If "premium price" to you is $31 on steam, you need financial help.

@@The_AGL_GroupOf course they will. This is a huge game for us people who played this back in middle school! They will patch some stuff.
lol mace hunting you down was pretty tense. And it reminded me how little splash damage there is.
Indeed, I was panicking when I recorded that 😂
Yeah with the rocket launchers. I find it wayyyy easier to use grenades to throw the heros off the edge.
@@SRACHER
Mines, every time. Trick though is making them agro over lol
Me, who is unable to fly without inverted controls; victory!!
Joking aside, I feel your pain. I couldn't play the Battlefront 2 beta starfighter assault at all because my brain is wired a certain way for flying controls and they were wrong and couldn't be changed.
I'm with you on that one
I hate inverted flying controls so I hope ASPYR sort the controls out for flying.
I play inverted for flying in games too. It's the one that makes sense to me for first person, or behind the player third person flying.
The thing is….inverted is how planes work in real life so it’s why I prefer it.
I want rogue squadrons
You definitely could eject mid air on the old versions - though it might have only been the speeders on Hoth. Back in "the day" in our clan we had footage of the gunner in the speeders dropping out of one speeder and into another one behind it.
I believe you have to hit the enter and eject button multiple times for the game to push you out. I remember surviving the falls with jet troopers.
I remember doing it I was on console when I did it
You could do it on all the normal vehicles. My friend and I would do it all the time on Bespin.
Definitely could jump out .I remember doing it in space battles to get outside the hanger and walk around
in 2 you had to rapidly click the land button and exit button and glitch out of the vehicle, in 1 you could just do it whenever. Speeder with a mine on the front used as a torpedo is still the most powerful weapon in the game
Yeah, I hope they fix that loading screen sound, and especially those server issue, because the servers is mainly a big reason people will switch from the original steam version on steam. The servers in those versions were absolutely horrible since they turned them back on in 2017, they were just so laggy and jittery.
Another thing, looking at all the new mipmapping to textures they added, it just all looks too shiny, infact I'd say it reminds me of half life source, with how steam pipeline broke the mipmapping on floors in that game. I dare say I'm not a fan of the over abundance of shinyness 🤨
Not a big deal for me if I’m locked to 30 fps that’s all you really need
@@Talon18136 not on pc, 30 fps with a mouse feels horrible.
@@Talon18136 60fps on Switch.
Windu was brushing those rockets off like dandruff 😂
"Damn Jimmy, this some serious gourmet shit!"
I hope they expand the XL mode to be playable on all maps, including Space maps. It sounds like a lot of fun, and exactly the sort of thing I'd want to play.
XL space would be crazy but I don't think it's going to be a thing. I don't think enough ships would spawn for it anyway
XL space I'd imagine you'd get frustrated pretty quick by AI's snatching every fighter the instant it spawns and lurking in the hangers..... maybe we'll finally see all the manned Turrets being used simultaneously though 😅
@@Kakarot64.
Imagine there's a dedicated group in each team repairing the shield generator the moment it breaks.
As a PS5 gamer honestly just being able to play these games at higher resolution, higher frame rate, with modern controller and controls without having to dust off the old PS2 is worth buying
I played it for over an hour on PS5 & it's such sh*t. It's a broken unplayable mess even in single player offline.
Did you play it yet? How do you feel about it being so bad?
@@AlwaysVotingMAGA Did you play them on PS2? These games are 20 years old. What exactly were you expecting? PS5 people are such whiners. They play the same way they did originally.
@@nathanieladams7624 brother there's no cutscenes, audio is fucked, AI is more broken than before, theres before and after videos already showing the AI cannot path the maps they trekked across 20 years ago (Naboo nonwithstanding :P)
spend a total of $25 CAD and you can have the originals which work better and actually, well, is the original thing for cheaper. you can get a 4k upscale mod pretty easily for free, the modding community is still going strong for the OG's
Listens to new Battlefront 1 loading screen.
"Look how they massacred my boy!"
Even the one he showed is not the one I remember. The original Xbox version has a slightly faster ticking and had a really nice melodic flow to it.
@@SilverGeFerit’s a sound. Get over it 😂
@@teekay1122 nah, it's a core memory for a lot of people, and there was no reason to change it
@@Harmonic14 I’ll never understand why some people feel the need to make fun of us for having nostalgia for this iconic sound. It’s not so much about getting over the fact that it’s just a sound as it is the fact that this detail isn’t staying true to the original release of the game. I know they’ll end up fixing it eventually if enough people call it out.
@@Harmonic14 they could’ve have kept it, but there’s no need to go crying about it😂
"No galactic conquest online, these matches are incredibly long, don't know you would do online to be honest"
*laughs in Empire at War*
And the mods such as AotR and Thrawn's Revenge can make them longer
They'll add it eventually with enough people complaining about it, prob just a 2 gig update
It could easily be like a Civ game where you save between turns, I don’t know what he’s talkin about with games being too long
Guys tell them to add infinite jetpack & infinite stamina cheats. That would make PvE so much more fun
To be fair, that's an RTS game where I think it's expected a match is gonna go on for a long while. Battlefront meanwhile is a fastpaced shooter, it's about the quick responses and while GC is fun? It also can take a long time to complete.
We just gotta do what we can to bring attention to the things that need fixed. I'm sure if we make a big enough ordeal, report the issues to Aspyr, if enough bigger channels like this point out the flaws, then maybe the devs will polish things up and give us the Battlefront collection of our dreams.
Or even better, they actually put in some effort, hire some people to do some Q&A testing before dropping out a low effort rehash of a 20 year old game for nearly double the price of the originals on steam combined.
But of course let's not keep our developers to higher standards, Let's just keep them shoveling garbage our way and hope they fix it after they get our money for the sake of nostalgia.
What the hell is that font? You guys remember the blocky sci fi font the original copies had right?
SWBFI and console SWBFII had those but if you were on PC? You got the more basic font with II. It's really hardly a dealbreaker.
Issue with FPS in BF2 multiplayer is likely due to host's FPS being tied to server's tickrate for some reason
The timing for me watching this video was perfect. This is what the original bf1 loading sounded like, a random ad plays.
You could eject in flight on the Xbox version of BF1, in fact once you hit the critically low reinforcement threshold all the AI would eject mid flight and I remember many a time on Bespin Platforms watching all the AI suicide eject and their ships just falling afterwards
I was wondering if they would fix the ai just randomly bailing out of vehicles at low ticket counts. Like it put the team at a disadvantage especially when playing the republic
"This is how the original is supposed to sound" immediately an ad pops up.
Also fps issues on BF2 aka the best of the two games? They need to fix this shit like pronto!
ROFL, dude the same exact thing happened to me and that was my thought exactly!
That battlefront 1 loading screen sound hurt my soul.
I hope this sells so we can get the STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT III weve been waiting for!
Have people figured out why the Collection takes up over 50 GB, is it just for upscaled graphics?
Clips from the movies
Mostly yeah
@@arthurgabriel360 interesting, for some reason I never considered that detail.
Should be able to delete those files to free up space@@Jedi_Spartan_38
@@arthurgabriel360I'm not sure about this one actually, a HD film is like 1-2 gb with Blu-Ray films are up to 50gb. I don't think a collection of clips is gonna make up that extra 50gb.
Worth noting, I don’t know if you played the other Aspyr ports, but they do a pretty bare minimum. My favorite game of all time is Jedi outcast 2 and they dropped the ball on a few things in that. Republic Commando has a few levels with legit unplayable framerate issues to this day on switch.
They also axed the multiplayer on Republic Commando, messed up the names of weapon/ammo pickups, and lowered the FOV. My expectations for a faithful port of the Battlefront games were already low because of this: the devil's in the details, and Aspyr doesn't seem too detail-oriented.
Agreed. Compare that to Dark forces where Nightdive knocked it out of the park with all the stuff they did and added.
Can’t wait to experience the 64 player multiplayer, never got to as a kid.
i remember learning the cheat codes from a little gaming magazine id keep stored away. before online searching was so big. ahh the memories
15:00
Same way as in Red Orchestra 2:
People can leave and join, but global game still continue to have progress.
Sure, not everyone reach the ending, but it's a diffrent issue.
that's exactly what I thought. RO2 did it perfectly fine.
Red Orchestra 2 is still the best WW2 online shooter.
I made 175 mods for the classic BF2. The classic collection better be mod compatible!
It's confirmed that we are getting mod compatibility. However, idk if that means the old mods will work, my need ones built for this version.
@@matthew9677 My problem is even if there's just a single file I need to update for this version, there is no way I'm gonna do it for all 175 of my mods 😭
@@SwagSwagSenateyou don't have to play the classic collection. Just keep playing the og version
@@user-tx6ug2mm3d I know, I mean that for the people who will buy the classic collection but don't own the og versions. They won't get to play mods, especially my mods 🤷♀️
@@SwagSwagSenateyes they will, the game has mod compatibility. If they want to play old mods then they can go buy the old versions. You’re making a problem while ignoring the solutions.
Nah they gotta fix that Battlefront 1 loading screen. How could they mess up one of the most iconic sounds from the original game?? 😭
With enough support we can get them to change the battlefront 1 loading screen sound come on everyone!
I definitely remember ejecting midflight. I remember making an AI teammate exit my ship on Hoth at the highest altitude just for fun and then me following suit.
Wow I never knew about the messed up reticle I always thought I just aimed better in first person
13:16 the reason for this is likely because the server config is coded at 29-30 ticks per second
Yeah, was that a thing back in the original PC port?
@@Tman2bard Yes it was swbf1 had 60tick with a beta patch that never made it to official release.
nah, hosted on the original bf2 and had no issues with fps like that. tickrate is not a fps relation.
I've played online in the original release and it didn't cap the framerate that low
pc specific. console lacks this issue entirely
No, audio and small stuff is a huge deal. They’re rereleasing the games, and they should get this stuff right. Whether it’s the BF1 intro sound, the placement of the reinforcement counters (should be higher), the inverted flight controls, or the fact that the “Loading” pinwheel for BF1 is higher and overlaps with the map lines now…like come on. Glad they used the console main menu for BF2 tho, that’s a nice touch. Not really sure why they changed the font either, the original fonts are so iconic, but that’s not the end of the world. Galactic conquest should have private servers, I thought it did back in the day, but even still it should have them today as an improvement. Regardless, thank you for testing this Elliot, I’ll be at the ready to report these issues if they persist into release.
It sucks for sure. I understand everyone wants to play multiplayer again but this sets a strange precedent that we are willing to buy games we already own with small tweaks that aren't even necessarily an upgrade. It's kinda like if instead of making the master chief collection microsoft removed backwards compatibility for combat evolved and re-released it with some barely noticable AI upscaling and messed up a few things while charging 35 dollars for it. I feel like all of the changes in the new release could have easily been done by a small team of hobbyists for free.
Whole thing seems lazy imo, the more I see the more it looks like a bootleg disc from Brazil.
I don't think galactic conquest was possible to play online. I would be extremely happy if they added it. It's a concept that could help redefine modern FPS games, if only they would experiment and see how awesome it could be.
Glad you mentioned the font, that was like the first discrepancy I noticed, and it's certainly for the worse. To add to your list, it looks like the crosshair elements are misaligned, specifically the overheat bar and the two different sets of reload indicators. I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I've been aware of Aspyr's janky ports for a while now. Best we can do is hope they actually put in the effort to fix these things, but I'm not holding my breath.
"The placement of the reinforcement counters" Really? This is what we're coming down to in complaints? The placement of numbers on a screen? Nevermind the fact that they're still small, do not get in the way of playing the game and are basically where they always were, it's apparently an issue that they are not placed higher.
Frankly, these small issues are that, small. The sound change sucks and is bizarre but it doesn't affect gameplay in the slightest. The loading pinwheel overlapping? Completely negligible visual that most players aren't gonna really notice. Inverted controls? Most flight games and flight systems have this. At this point everyone is just basically prepared that if flying's involved in a game? They're inverting the controls. It sucks that there's no option to change it but it's not a dealbreaker and is something people can learn. The fonts being changed? Odd but for years we have played SWBFII on PC which changes out the sci-fi font for a basic-ass Arial looking thing and most people didn't really care. The font is not "iconic", it's nostalgic but otherwise means nothing for the overall game. Like I'd be more upset if the fonts were broken or badly sized.
Thanks for the video!!
I remember there was a glitch in Naboo’s map in BF2, where a bunch of AI Clone units would just group together at a section of the map during the entire battle!! It was something that happened everytime when playing in that map
Did you know if this was fixed?
I highly doubt it
To make sure a kill registers when you push someone off a cliff in Battlefront 2, you must first hit them once. Only pushing them off a cliff isn't enough. Maybe the BF1 heroes don't unlock the achievement when you push them over a cliff because they don't register damage? Don't know in that case.
So far i have not been able to play a single online match of battlefront 2 without lagging so much that none of my shots register as hits. I also get the disconnect logo in the bottom right even tho i have a wired connection with 100mbps and i dont lag in any other game. Very disappointing i hope this gets fixed. Also im on ps5 and im playing in Australia so hopefully this doesnt mean that there's no oceania servers. Anyone else having the same issue or just me?
Feels like I'm back in 2022 back with constant Battlefront updates
I totally remember being able to jump out of my ship mid flight. On the Xbox Battlefront 1 version at least. I used to stick mines to my ship and eject it into other command posts on dune sea🤷🏼
That sounds awesome
+1 You could definitely jump outta ships on BF1, did this all the time on Bespin Platforms
One thing I’m definitely seeing.. it looks SMOOTH! 60fps running well! Can’t wait to play
If it's based on the console version, I wonder if it will have all the crazy wall glitches. Anyone remember getting behind the wall in the Mos Eisley Cantina? Or taking a snow speeder below the map in battlefront 1 and seeing the floating command post that spawned the walkers?
I remember not having an option to invert flight controls in many games in the 90’s on Pc so you just had to get used to it.
Sometimes modern games options and controls feel like we are still stuck in the 90’s for accessibility, still no deaf modes or proper color blindness modes
I spent so many nights in high school playing Battlefront 1 and 2 online on my PS2 or with bots late into the evening.
The comic book text cheat code is specifically for Wampa Hunt on Hoth.
"Obviously this is during early access so the real servers aren't going to be up"
this aged well
The reason why the flight controls are inverted was because that was what it was on console and didn't have a option to change it
And as a player you just learned the controls and got better at it!
@@Hallskar more like forgot each time going back to it and crashed
I swear the PS2 had an option to change inverted off
@@matthew9677 I played on xbox and it might of have it and either I didn't check or it did and I forgot
Yeah, and shouldn't the game fix shit like that? A re release?
Yeah I played original Battlefront (2004) on PlayStation 2 back in the day and when flying ships you could exit from the vehicle at any time. Battlefront 2 (2005) you could only exit if you land.
The cheat code to get comic effects may only work on hoth hut mode not sure if it's on other maps.
I remember on battlefront 2 (2005) killing things with the forces & not get the kill to come up.
I lot of people forgot but Heroes assault was also playable on all Xbox DLC maps.
in battlefront 1YOU CAN jump out of ships midflight just use jettrooper
I know you said the graphics aren't much improved, but god, as someone who played exclusively on PS2 back in the day, this looks gorgeous to me!
The PS2 version is noticeably blurrier than the original PC and Xbox versions, so anything would be an improvement! XD
Right. I got it Day 1 and have already poured at least 4 or 5 hours into it and have been having fun offline. Some issues I've noticed is that Jango Fett's pistol has no sound, Felucia's plant textures need fixing, and Princess Leia sounds really strange when she takes damage. There are some other issues, but nothing major enough to make me want to not play it. I also have my Playstation 2 and the original Battlefront II in it as I was revisiting it in preparation.
Nice early preview/review, thanks! I have the PS2 versions from back then, so it'll be great to finally get the option for interior dash views of the vehicles/ships, which were in the XBox version.
The fact they gave Battlefront 2 the console menu screen on the PC version is already a nice bonus IMO. I really like the menu on console showing clips from the movies, unlike the current PC version which just has the blueprints of empire vehicles.
What the hell happened to the font? Why aren’t they using ISL Jupiter font for Battlefront 2 and Bombardier for Battlefront 1?? Looks so damn off.
I hope they patch it later in the future
Bitching about the font really😂 I get the loading screen sounds, but font really????
BRO IS CRYING ABOUT FONT☠️☠️☠️☠️
@@SRACHER Things like font matter in a game as old as this
@@SRACHERWhen you are an artist and have OCD you have a knack for these kinds of things.
I do wish it was all of the maps all in one game, instead of split. But I'll live!
Back in the day in the old Battlefront 1 on ps2 I would go on bespin platforms go to the bottom of the sky and jump out of the ship and just stand on top of it for no reason lol
I'm so excited to snag this on Switch. Will prob grab on PC too at somepoint if it all turns out decent.
I was #1 in the world for 9 years on PC in Classic Battlefront 2. If you played SWGO, Jedi Battle Arena, or Shattered Planet Dark Force back in the day then you know who I am, and I cannot wait to be back on the battlefield with you fine chaps! - MX-_Mexican_Padawan_-MX- cheers to another 20 years of playing SWBF2!
That's a pretty big flex, but can you say that you've maintained the skill you had as a kid playing this game? I'll have you know, I managed to beat Darth Maul solo as a kid, and I only died 20 times. So if we meet in game, you'd better watch out!
Seriously though, that's an awesome accomplishment dude - do you have any tips and tricks for the newcomers to the series? Also, what's your favorite class to play as? I remember being a fan of the shotgun class quite a bit.
Get ready to be 20 th place boi
@@RisdonX engineer is by far the most powerful class with or without war hero or guardian unlocks. Add the upgraded shotgun and you are unstoppable. Engineer is the only class that can walk over mines which is very useful in capture the flag. You can also throw the det packs they carry (this is actually a mechanic I discovered in 2005). And throw yourself meds and ammo. 2nd most powerful is a regular assault class(except for the super battle droid), if you are good enough to get the upgraded blaster rifle and pistol you will be unstoppable. I have a million tips, I will likely make some tutorial videos on my channel. - as far as being as good as I was back in the day, no probably not. I’ll probably be very annoying to deal with, but I’m an adult now with businesses and a life, I don’t have the attention span to master games anymore, however with that being said said, SWBF2 came out I was 8 years old, so the mechanics of this game are literally etched into my brain and is muscle memory. So I am sure I’ll be far from struggling. Will I try to make a name for myself now that pro gaming is cool? Probably not, but I’ll make some videos for sure.
mexican... Lmfao. Where is mexico in star wars galaxy?
@@PaladinFPS Wow, I didn't know they could walk over mines or throw their det packs! That makes them even better than I remembered haha
No shame in not being able to play as much as you used to, you'll still be a menace compared to most players. Also uploading some videos with more obscure tips or advice would be a great idea, if you ever do upload one let me know and I'll check it out. Or don't. I doubt you'd remember to check this video just to tell a random guy you uploaded a video 🤣
In my personal opinion, if you are looking to play online a lot on this game, then it may not be perfect and you may have some issues because it’s a port from the older games which the craters of the classic collection do have to fix in an update, kind of like he mentioned in the video but if you’re looking for a single player or couch co-op experience then this will be just like the original game With slight differences that won’t matter in the long run.
At least BF1 works, that one's a lot of fun to play too
If anything it's the other way around. If you are looking to play online a lot, then get this as the older games are dead and only 32 player capped. If you only care about single player then the original games with their cheap prices will serve you well
if it supports 21:9 at higher resolutions then it will be better (assuming mods get to running on the new engine)
The bf1 loading screen hurt..... but, thankyou for putting the correct sound in after it soothed my pain. I'm sure they'll change it 😀 just, as I never got to play online on the originals, I really hope it all get fixed up
Honestly cant wait to jump in to this for the first time since i never got the chance to play the classics when i was young and being a big fan of the ea battlefronts i think ill enjoy it!
Praying that they add crossplay
Flying vehicles are only playable with inverted though so that’s not really a problem
That Pandemic Logo, seriously one of my favorite Developers, I wish was still around.
Just to correct you on the inverted controls for starfighters, you CAN un-invert them.
Options --> Controls --> Starfighter Controls --> Gamepad Control (at bottom of screen!) --> Choose Preset (in upper left!) --> Change from Obi-Wan to Anakin
This applies to keyboard and mouse even though it's in Gamepad! Weird, but it works
Been playing it for the past hour. It's great to see it updated, my only complaints are the inverting flying and the sprint doesn't seem to always work on BF2. BTW aim assist on PS5 is over powered as hell, pretty much locks onto enemies lol
That’s how aim assist works on all console platforms and its the same way as the classics. Don’t know if you’re talking about the stamina bar or if you genuinely are experiencing a bug that doesn’t allow you to sprint with full stamina, and you can change the inverted controls in settings
I remember on ps2 just having to press the button to lock on and the game would track like an aimbot no aiming required so it's pretty on point.
Wow they cleaned it up pretty good, can’t wait to play tomorrow!!
On the original Xbox version of BF1, you could bail out of flying vehicles mid-flight. I remember doing it all the time on Bespin with my friend.
I know this dev and trust me, don't expect any of these issues to be fixed on launch. Or ever.
I hope they Master Chief Collection this shit and continue to expand on it after they fix all the busted stuff.
This launch is reminding me of the MCC 2014 launch
@@samuelblackwell5990 It's not that bad. MCC multiplayer literally did not work at all for months. Then it barely worked for years after until they finally fixed it with the Xbox One X patch.
They best change the loading sound back.
I mean on consoles it's pretty common to use inverted controls for flying as it's more real that way, but it makes no sense for the pc version with a mouse
Keep in mind this is pre release too. It's possiible there's a day one patch or an update soon after release. The inverted flight controls don't seem to tough to fix, same with the multiplayer stuff. We'll need to see what it's like on release.
I just can’t justify the absurd game size…50 gigabytes for virtually the same game with a texture pack isn’t worth $35 to me. If it had cross play, I would be more eager.
You could _definitely_ eject mid-air in the first game. It's one of the most compelling reasons to run the Jet-Trooper.
You could scout ahead in a single-seat fighter or load up a Gunship with a whole squad of jetpacks.
The loss of this feature is a *huge* *deterrent* for switching over.
They removed that!?!?! That's insane!
Not on the PC version. Just checked myself. So it's a console only thing which means a lot of the playerbase never even realized this trick
Yep I used to do this all the time on BF1 for PC. I won't buy the collection until they fix that.
@@user-tx6ug2mm3d I did it on PC years ago too. It may have been patched at some point.
Few questions:
What are the options like? Is ultrawide supported? Is there an FOV slider?
Re: the loading beeps: "Obviously it's not a huge deal"
Yes. Yes it is.
I really don't understand why they didn't push the player count to 100 or even 150 because I know they would have the capability and it would be epic.
Could be engine limitations maybe.
I promise you that 32 vs 32 will feel like 60 v 60 and onwards because you will never see all the players at once anyway
Probably because some maps would practically be unplayable with that many players. Some already sound chaotic enough with just 64.
Idk if anyone was expecting 100 players or more, 64 in itself is pretty great considering they’re old games.

The AI pathing was an issue in the Xbox version of BF2 as well. Troopers randomly ran into corners and stood there on certain maps. Naboo and the BF1 maps mostly.
Yeah i saw this a lot
AI targeting specifically you & only you is a big BF2 problem
On PC, it was the Naboo map in BF2 that was notorious for this. AI would path into the corners of the map near their side. Very strange, made for a “shooting fish in a barrel” situation 😂
@@liamcullen3035 Yeah, and then when you killed them all, your team just ran into that corner.
Overall, all the issues you mentioned there sound pretty damn fixable! there wasn't anything there inherently awful other than the BF2 server host FPS limiter, which I'm sure can be addressed. And I'm actually super relieved to hear private servers are still a thing - this way if one day Aspyr has to bail, the community can still roll.
Game looks great overall, thanks for your thoughts and testing!
Riva Turner cap the fps wathever you like in Battlefront same as Battlefront II. (and don't you need install this if you had it already) the best option 60 framerate limit -50 Scanline sync [Detection level set on high]
It's easy to do so.
So nice to see you able to give us actual Battlefront updates again!
This is how the original is supposed to sound, cuts to ad. Lol
None of the issues seem that big or game breaking and I’m sure can be fixed game looks great super excited to play multiplayer tomorrow
Frame rate capping at 29 fps in multiplayer isn't a big deal? lmao
@@343Films This isnt even the actual release.
@@user-en6be3cw8l"None of the issues seem that big or game breaking" - His exact words that I was directly responding to 🤦♂️
@@343Films30 fps is fine. Us console players are used to it.
@@user-tx6ug2mm3d Hold up.... you think a 20 year old game running on current hardware at 30fps is okay? Let's just think about that for more than 2 seconds.... "Us console players" you say that like 60fps titles haven't been on every generation since ps1 days😅 No need to cope man, just tell the devs to make it 60 because current consoles could obviously run 20 year old games at 120fps if they wanted.
Honestly, if the nitpicks are the worst things then I'd say this port is pretty good. I know inverted flying controls are weird, but that is how it is naturally on the console version, so it makes sense. And heaven forbid the game runs at 30 fps (you know, the frames the game was meant to run on). Honestly, the worst thing is the sound, and sometimes the "improved" graphics just don't look very good.
17:40 You can do it on the ps2 version of BF1, from my experience - you have to MASH the hell out of eject, and you'd slip out of the ship mid-flight.
Used to do it all the time on Bespin Platforms, for a dynamic entry - the ship would nose dive, and explode for some very minor damage.
Split screen Galactic conquest? Online multiplayer splitscreen?
I believe the modding community will create many mods for this game too
Some old mods work natively. For the most part, any custom map that uses base factions/units will work.
Look up down ↕️ should always be stick 🕹️ forward ⬆️ = nose 👃🏼 down 👇🏼 & if you set it the same for FPS run & gun your muscle 👍🏼👍🏼 memory becomes unified for recoil control also.
Not to mention real air vehicles work the same for helicopter 🚁 forward nose 👃🏼 down 👇🏼 tilt, it just works for forward tilt.
Chances are the beeps from the loading screens were actually a pitch modifier rather than individual noises and they just. Haven't implemented the code to do that as of yet.
They killed the bf1 loading screen noooo sad
The reason the reticle messes up on PC is because of the scaling. It was designed to be played in 800 x 600 4:3 resolution, not a 16:9 display. So when you stretch the game UI out, and make the game more high res, especially if the game doesn’t have hud scaling, it makes everything smaller. So essentially, the crosshair’s size and position is now off if you play the game in 1080p. This isn’t a problem in first person mode because the reticle is always in the center, whereas in 3rd person it’s slightly above the character’s head.
Mostly Negative on Steam due to the servers being pretty much broken and useless. Hopefully they tackle that issue and these others very quickly. It's already hard enough to sell players on PC who already own the originals.
Other than the online functionality I don't think this will hold much of a candle to the mod overhauls you can get for bf2 2005. Particularly the Saga Edition mod. But its still good that renewed interest in the series is coming back.
Does launching the game launch the ea launcher or is it without any third party launchers?
It doesn't use any 3rd party launchers.
@@chrisvarnado900 nice, thanks 👍
EA has no involvement in this
