SWBF1 has prettier skyboxes, less particle occlusion, more open maps. The gunplay is also different from the sequel; sometimes I just don't care for the award weapons and bonuses of SWBF2. I think Battlefront II's maps are more closed off to mitigate the short draw distance.

100% agree. Granted, I bought it for PC for the splitscreen. But outside of that, it's really not worth it. The Remaster Project and Shader Patch mods already look 1000% better than any AI upscaling. There are already mods to restore the Xbox content and add hero assault to every map. Literally no real reason to buy this on PC unless you want the splitscreen. All the mods are still going to be for the classic game anyway! Especially now that so many mod authors have moved on and won't be updating their mods for the classic collection.

Maybe this is already somewhat known, but the reason why the original BF2 still has PC multiplayer is because an update from years ago restored the servers after GameSpy died. Considering I've played the OG versions of both games for almost 2 decades now, I feel like I've already seen the best of them. I'm thrilled that both games got a remaster for new and old fans, but for me, the lack of mod support kills this version even more than crossplay I think. OG BF2 mod support is so expansive and great that it makes it tough for me to get excited for something like this. Not to mention all the bugs mentioned in the video. Also, 60 GB install? That seems to happen a lot these days and I hate that.

While it is disappointing that Aspyr have only done minimal improvements over the original version I think people are missing the point of this collection: it gives people who only own the latest generation of consoles the chance to play these legendary games. Not everyone has a PC and can play the original games and even less people have a PS2 at home nowadays. Nevertheless the price is a bit exaggerated, without sale it costs 35€ which is equivalent to over 38$, so almost 40$ for a port with slightly better textures.

Great video, love the technical details. I agree that It doesn't make too much sense to have BF1 here, they should have just made the maps from that available on BF2 and left it at that, in everyway that game is an upgrade to the original. THANK YOU for calling them out for trying to act like that and the DLC was new content and calling it what it is, an upscaled port that you might not play if the servers were still open for the original. A few things I have questions about, things I decided I would have fixed when I played SWBFII to 100% on the 360 version I own on stream recently, things that should be fixed if they actually put some care into it and did more than just upscale it and open the console servers again. 1. Have they added any of the dlc content to galactic conquest or added any kind of randomization to the planets? 2. have they made the characters available through the leader bonus more random? (In the original, the character for the leader bonus in galactic conquest was locked in by the planet you are on and it felt like you only got to use one or two instead of the whole cast; for example playing as CIS you will never play as count dooku, ventress or the emperor, you will only play as maul or jango) 3. Have they made the AI smarter at all? does it still do stupid and infuriating things like attacking the same planet over and over again in galactic conquest or getting stuck and standing around having a seizure in a corner on the edge of the map somewhere? 4. Also, did they fix the map on Naboo where the AI gets stuck in that corner next to CP 3?

I'm not surprised that the Classic Collection is subpar. I literally only bought it for the Splitscreen so me and my wife can play. The original is still better because of the mods. The Remaster Mod and Shader Patch are especially amazing looking mods and are handcrafted textures versus AI upscaling.

@NormandyEdits 3 ай бұрын

To be honest this will get boring really soon without mod support. Every now and then I hop on Battlefront 2 on PC and the most fun is the mod content. Vanilla has been played for years, I don't need a upscaled 60gb Xbox One Port to play it a week and then hardly ever touch it. A shame because I LOVE the original Battlefront

This was just about the last straw, there's no excuses for what this launch felt like.
