The map in the EA battlefronts are more like a traditional fps, designed around limiting walls that force players certain directions while the maps in pandemic's games are designed around landmarks, attacting players to them

I loved the original battlefront 2's space ship combat. I remember doing the campaign where you travel around the galaxy wiping out the enemy, and I would specifically try to play only the space levels. Being able to destroy the enemies carrier ship from the outside while flying around, or by infiltrating and blowing it up from the inside. Mmmm, chef kiss.

When it comes to the OG Battlefronts, I actually prefered the shared maps in the 2004 game than in 2005 BF2. They had more character than their BF2 redesigns and even had unique features. I loved the 3-way battle on the sarlaac pit map.

In many, many months, compare STAR WARS: Squadrons, and STAR WARS: Rouge Squadron

I don't think it was fair to hold not having the sequel stuff against the old ones. Especially since they didnt even exist until ten years later. If anything it's better not to have sequel stuff.

I loved the original games back in the day, especially Battlefront (2004). I would love to hop into a bit of Instant Action right now.

Damn this video made me realize how beautiful mustafar would have looked in swbf2 2017.

In galactic conquest, you battle your enemy one planet at a time for total control of the galaxy...

You should do a Force Unleashed vs. Jedi: Fallen Order

The og battlefront 2 feels satisfying to play

In my opinion The originals are just far better because of the wide variety of maps, an underrated campaign, and heroes that can be unstoppable in the right hands. The hero gameplay is a lot more exciting because instead of a lock on system you have to rely on your own skill to kill enemies. And even though most of them have the same abilities, each hero is distinct from one another, whether it be their hero themes or the way they duel. I’m surprised Ozzy didn’t mention the Lost DLC that was added to Battlefront 2 2005 that gave us heroes such as Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress, that made the game even better in my opinion because it also brought back maps from the previous title like Rhen Var.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Vs Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

I was actually surprised you gave EA Battlefront the point for the gameplay. I know OG Battlefronts’s gameplay has aged, but I get a lot more fun out of it then I ever did with EA’s Battlefront. I think it just comes down to your style of gameplay. OG Battlefront’s gameplay feels a lot quicker and to the point. You choose your class and your spawn point, and then you fight, like in TF2. Heroes are absolutely terrifying to fight against because not only are they strong, they’re fast. The reducing health bar does balance it though, so they can’t just camp. While many of them have similar moves, all of them have a different set that goes along with it. Each map has a different layout. It just feels a lot more fun for me, it actually feels like a battle with it’s quick pace.

You should do one for the lego star wars games

The best was the first because it didn't matter how much money or time the player put into it. You bought the game and had access to everything and the reward for playing was knowledge. The split screen took friendships to the limit.

My favorite map in the entire series was Tatooine: Dune Sea from the very first Battlefront. There were 3 factions fighting, sand people included. Overall, the first Battlefront from 2004 still has the best maps imo.

I still wished bf2 2017 was still going on I wanted ahsoka and ventriss so many missed opportunities

The next battlefront game should have the original gameplay with EA graphics, that will be sick

The fact that a journel is a better campaign than a fully fledged out campaign the original holds up 15+ years later just shows how great it is

"battlefront 3" title is cursed

Literally all they need to do is remake the og battlefront 2 with updated animations, visuals, and maybe sprinkle in a new map or two and some new heroes

The classic BF had the option to choose an era for most of the maps. Let's say you want to play in the Death Star with the Clone Wars era. The conquest mode in the new games felt very limited.

The original battlefront games both have something very special that the newer battlefront games do not, and that is the fact that you could choose to do almost anything without restrictions. What I meant with "without restrictions" is the fact that the original battlefront games allowed you to do many things. I'll take the classic battlefront II's space battle's as an example. When you load into a space battle, you either had the option to: *Go to the room the auto turret defenses are in, and pilot the turrets manually so you can shoot down enemy fighters. *Board the enemies ship by flying either an Rebel Alliance Attack Craft, Droid Gunship, LAAT, or an Imperial Shuttle into the enemy hanger and landing. *Or you could simply, fly a fighter and engage in an space dogfight with enemy fighters. You could literally do all of this without the need of battle points, or pickups. Versus the newer battlefront games, you'd either need to run into a pickup before somebody else gets it (2015 battlefront), or you'd need to save battle points to spend on an fighter (2017 battlefront II). Hopefully you guys know what I am trying to say. Newer battlefront games are limited in terms of freedom.

The last time I was this early to a video battlefront 2 (2017) still had support

Not to mention og bf2 got a update with 2 new heroes Kit Fisto and and Ventress

7:26 I have a problem with this, as in the new Battlefront games, each hero is expressly unique, with hardly any characters sharing abilities that are only ever slightly similar. In Battlefront 2005, 5 of the characters all had the exact same abilities, those characters being Luke, Obi-Wan, Mace, Ki-Adi, and Maul, all sharing the Saber Throw, and Force Push abilities. Plus, the 2005 heroes only had a total of 5 force abilities overall. Sure, the blaster heroes had their own abilities, but most of them still weren’t that unique. And let’s not forget that 2004’s Battlefront 1 didn’t even HAVE playable heroes. Only having Luke, Vader, Mace, and Dooku spawn in as invincible AI controlled characters to ensure that your team won. Battlefront 2015 and 2017 definitely should have earned that point alone, since ALL of their heroes have been unique from the start, and they have all been playable

You forgot that 2005 had a DLC that added Kit Fisto and Assad Ventress. That DLC also added every map from the first battlefront into the second one.

I would probably give the hero point to Ea Battlefront games since in the Battfront(2004) you couldn't play as heroes and that sucked

11:50 i think i have to disagree with you on that point.. The old BF2 had a lot more maps no question. But the maps of the new BF2 are way more detailed than the old ones. And in my opinion quality is worthier than quantity.

The new Battlefront 2 has more game modes in general, not to mention it improves upon 2005 Battlefront 2's hero modes exponentially, not limiting it to a single (or 4 if you were on Xbox) maps. It feels unfair to decide that point based entirely on one mode imo.

Yes the comparison I’ve been waiting for !!!!!

My favorite one is actually the 2004 battlefront, it just has the most fun core gameplay loop imo, and I didn’t start playing it til I was in middle school, well after their initial release and after I had played newer games with better graphics, I still have more fun with it on the ps2 than 95% of modern shooters

OG Battlefront > EA Battlefront Way more single player content! I enjoy jumping into instant action or galactic conquest over games that are mainly marketed as multi-player!

Battlefront 2004 had a campaign which was pretty good

I will never get tired of playing galactic conquest on the original 2004 battlefront

I feel like you should have talked about controls more, both of the categories of games you talked about have distinct controls and play much differently. I say this because running around and jumping efficiently in the originals can get you around very quickly compared to the newer titles, though you will have to keep your stamina in mind. And the heroes in the older games are more open and have special jumping abilities and have a “force run” to make them faster, making them feel like heroes. The newer titles have their attacking on rails, and it feels encumber some. The newer Battlefronts feel like Street Fighter, while the older ones are like Smash Bros. Like, in Street Fighter you can make cool combos but you lose the freedom of movement that Smash offers, which is important even in a Sci-fi shooter.

bro cmon be real with me, you’re telling me people want rey more then they do mace windu? cmon man

My main complaint from this that makes it unfair is that when he talked about modes he literally covered 1 mode when there are so many others

From what I see, a lot of people like the older Battlefront games due to nostalgia. I'm not saying the older games were bad (they are good in certain areas), but the newer Battlefronts were superior in a lot of ways.

Imma apart of the new generation so the two new battlefront games hold a special place in my heart. Honestly BFll is such a big step up from 2015. I will always like the new ones better but if you like the old ones thats fair.

I think the new Battlefronts should win heroes. Most of the lightsaber heroes in the old battlefront were very similar, at least to me. Sure, the old Battlefront had Mace Windu and Jango, but these are the only two who I think were truly missing in the new games. The new battlefronts have more original trilogy heroes, not counting Jyn and Krennic. All the heroes in the new Battlefronts are unique and offer their own playstyles, compared to the cut and paste of the originals. Note: I haven't played the originals in a long time, so correct me if my memory is wrong.

Can we also point out that if the original battlefronts had the capabilities of post launch content like EA and vice versa if EA didn't have post launch content I think that the original Battlefront games would have won no doubt

I really like these types of videos! Keep it up man!’

In my opinion, you did miss out the specific location for certain maps like how Tatooine has Jabba’s Palace and the Marketplace, as well as the other game modes in the EA/Dice games like HvV or Starfighter Assault. But, overall really good and fair comparison

For battlefront 3 we Need a mode, with the characteristics of capital supremacy and galactic assault

Okay, put the nostalgia bias behind-Battlefront 2.5 is the better game hands down. I played the old one for well over 1,000 hours, but if the new one was available instead?

The Heroes section neglected to mention that the very first Battlefront didn't have playable heroes and that was a selling point of the second. Heroes were an option you could turn on, but they were an invincible NPC that would roam the map.

A couple other points worth mentioning: In classic Battlefront 2, ALL gamemodes are accessible in singleplayer and splitscreen. Nothing is online-only and everything is preserved, which will give the classics longer staying power once EA's servers inevitably shut down. Most planets in classic Battlefront 2 are not exclusive to just one era. You can do both Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War battles on Tatooine, Naboo, Mygeeto, Yavin 4, Mustafar, Felucia, and even on maps such as the Tantive IV and the Death Star! Creates a lot more variety, even if some might call that variety an illusion.

I would prefer to play og battlefront 2 bcus of galactic conquest maps and heros but tbh i really love the original battlefront for these reasons- both bespin levels, tatonnie dune and kyasheik although we cudnt play as heros it was fun blowing them off of bespin platforms and having the heros meet in the middle tunnel , and the fact that you can fly tie fighters and x wings in the regular maps, graphics to me are a tad bit more realistic than bf2 like comparing gta 4 to gta 5, gta 5 is more cartoony in my opinion. I recently just bought both on ebay... Played bf 2025 and it felt like call of duty not star wars Edit: and who can forget the one time a star wars game actually got the speeder right... When your riding it feels slow but if your watching another person on it then they are flying like a rocket

To be honest, I think new Battlefront 2 holds up against old Battlefront 2. I've been playing each of them back and forth and each of them do some things better than the other. For instance, EA Battlefront 2's hero system is a lot better than OG Battlefront 2's imo. On the other end of things, OG Battlefront 2 had a better space combat mode than EA Battlefront 2 did. Also, Galactic Conquest is fun and they need to bring that back.

Walker assault was awesome. 2015's Star Wars Battlefront looked AMAZING. My buddy and I downloaded the free beta, and we were just FLOORED by what the graphics were at the time. Not only that, but it both felt like a Star Wars game and a true shooter. I loved it. My first time playing Walker assault, the were TONS of people playing. It felt like a true large-scale invasion of Hoth. We were the rebellion, and futilely trying to stop those walkers was exhilarating. I also specifically remember dying during my first game, in the final stretch where the walkers were within sight of the base. I was in a trench, firing at the walker with everything I had. A TIE above me was shot, and it started to dive down towards the ground. I looked helplessly as it swung around at the very last second and crashed into my trench, killing me with the impact! That was amazing! We played Survival on local co-op, too, and that was a blast! It truly felt like we were stranded on Tatooine, left to face the imperial horde. If a game company as large as EA is willing to give away all of these features FOR FREE, then the FULL game must be incredible! We were SO HYPED. And then we bought the game at launch and the full version was the exact same as the free demo. 2017's Battlefront 2 was bad at launch, too, but the hero combat is till the best of any Star Wars game, in my opinion. And at this point, despite the lack of what is, in my opinion, the best Battlefront game mode (which is the TRUE space battle, where you're an infantry unit IN a spaceship, able to fly around the battlefield or try to sabotage from within), I think Battlefront 2 from 2017 is the best Star Wars game ever made. And it's sad, because there are some features that it's obviously lacking that could put it over the top as just one of the best games of all time. A few more cosmetics, adding heroes like Ahsoka, Mace Windu, Asajj Ventress, Cad Bane, actually supporting the space combat with maybe adding some revamped units, such as the Ghost instead of eight different Millennium Falcons, and then incorporating that into a TRUE galactic conquest mode... That would make this game perfect.

All I needed was galactic conquest. That was by far my favorite mode.

If you’re going off of game modes, I think it’s dumb to only use supremacy/galactic conquest.

In The original Battlefront 2 most of the heroes did the same thing and almost all of them had the same abilities and made it a little boring to be a hero

Outstanding presentation. I also give some points on the physical box sets with the discs and graphics. I enjoy displaying my old game collection a true work of art worthy of the genius of the game makers.

Ok I don’t think it’s really a competition. The 2005 battlefront 2 wins hands-down. It had loads of content, fun gameplay, and good variety, not to mention the game launching with all of it intact and working, without any corporate greed involved. By far the best. Not to mention the campaign was stellar.

I love old Star war battlefront 2

Things I never liked about Battlefront 1 from memory: - Looking back, there was no sprinting in the game - you can't play as heroes And that's about it. Loved the game

the difference is that in 10 years EA star wars will be forgotten, but the original battafrant is still here after 10 years

Also forgot to mention that a lot of the maps for battlefront 2015 were locked behind multiple $30 DLC

Old battlefront games win in my opinion.

I liked the level in 2005 SWBF2 where you pressed X to have Padme die from sadness. Why they didn’t put in a similar level in the new game where Leia flies into space is beyond me.

For us who got to play both eras we are lucky. Epic video sir!

EA's 1st Battlefront had all of its "content" locked behind a season pass. Thier 2nd Battlefront tried to scam people with loot boxes and when that backfired, took several years to get a bunch of acceptable content and then EA ditched the game in a gutter. The OG Battlefront games came out feature complete on day 1.

I feel like3 with the maps, there is more than just the variety of planets and such you need to take into account. I would also take into account cover, choke points, balance, and verticality. In which case, I would have to give the map's point to the new ones. The old maps are just plain and are not all that fun to play on anymore having gotten a taste of the new games.

Battlefront 2004: 7.1 Battlefront 2005:8.5 Battlefront 2015:9.4 Battlefront 2:9.6

Ngl, I absolutely loved Battlefront 1, 100% top 5 games for me

Love the content keep it up man

I feel like the graphics , even though it’s unfair, should be a category just because it adds a whole new level of immersion with how much it looks and feels like you’re in Star Wars

Old battlefront 2 wins with campaign and ground to space combat but the new battlefront 2 easily beats the original with everything else no doubt

It still amazes me how In 2005 battlefront you can enter and exit vehicles at will yet dice couldn't pull it off? I'll always call bullshit on that one

You need to do more matchups like this.

I always loved the maps in the first battlefront game. I always loved jetpacking around places to find hiding spots on maps like Citadel and bespin. I think Citadel is my all time favorite battlefront map

Coruscant would’ve been cool but there wasn’t really a ground battle there. That’s probably. They never made a map for it

not only does the old games give the player more freedom with where they want to go, but they also have almost no kill barriers to speak of unless you travel far away from the combat zone and on top of that battlefront 2 (2005) did something really ballsy that no other battlefront game has done since : cross era content. in rise of the empire campaign you do play as the 501rst from geonosis to hoth, 2 levels stick out to me on that campaign: kamino and mustafar you as a stormtrooper fight clones on the former and droids on the later. as for galactic assault, i feel insulted they tried calling it conquest. EA (or dice, which either) did not understand that that battlefront is a tactical shooter and not an fps, and that galactic conquest is inherently a strategy part of the series. dare i say the soul of what it was. while these (newer) games are good, they feel hollow in comparison to their predecessors.

I can't believe Qui-Gon has never been made a hero in any Battlefront game

Review kotor 1 & 2 with restored content 🧐

I have to say, I agree with most points made in this video, but for me I would've given the map point to the new games. It's quality over quantity in my mind, and with maps like bespin on EA's side, I think the new games come out on top.

More of these please :)

We need a comparison video of jedi fallen order and the force unleashed games.

I love every game in the battlefront series well except the first ea one

Battlefront 2 2017: is 100% Me: I love democracy

I remember by piking up the game and being super excited to play

"told through the empire" *For a few minutes of course*

I feel like for nostalgic purposes people have just decided that the old Battlefront games are better despite how much every new game has improved upon them.

Both games are awesome, but you cant compare them. The way both games work are so different now its impossible to compare. If you want a chillaxed single player star wars battlefront game and dont care much about graphics and want infinite mods, the original. If you want a newer more polished with more content while being centered around multiplayer get the new one.

I want the Bacta Bomb and the Shadow Trooper in Battlefront 2

I mean the originals were only limited by their release, there was no Rey or kylo in 2005 but there was definitely Jango and Mace in 2017

When you see that the community voted Battlefront 2 2017 over 2005 Me: It’s treason then

I love all four! They are all amazing games that have unique styles ^_^

I remember has a kid i played battlefront 2 on playstation 3 and seeing this video made those memorys came up, i do love the new battelfront 2 i do play that on pci loved it

Definitely battlefront 2005

I love that you did this. As cook as the graphics are for the new BF games, there was on option that the old BF games had that I wished the new ones had, That was galactic conquest. You could choose your faction and fight for different worlds, no matter what time period. You could be the rebel alliance and be fighting stormtroopers on Kashyyk. You don't get that option in the newer BF games. Which kind of sucks. Another thing that I find slightly annoying about the new BF games. You have your race, sex and gender chosen for you. This is annoying because I love. love love playing survival on Tattooine in BF 2015. But it's a bit annoying that I always get spawned in as a woman. I think for all the technical advances that have occurred, you should be able to build a character that you identify with. Just my two cents.

In regards to the Xbox version of the original Battlefront 2, there was DLC that added 2 more playable heroes, those being Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress.

Talking so much from my hearth and memories I still love to launch and play old Battlefront for a while ☺️🙃

I think I like Battlefront II better than Battlefront II

Battlefront 1 2004 : 6/10 Battlefront 2 2005 : 9/10 Battlefront 2015 : 6/10 Battlefront 2 2017 : 9.5/10

13:34 Ah yes, the negotiator. GENERAL KENOBI ! “Cough“

Lml I will never forget playing the old Star Wars battle front 2 when a Rebel killed a storm trooper they will continue to shoot at it’s dead body😂 Ahh the memories 😂

I have an issue with these lists because they value each category equally which isn’t really the case in reality. The gameplay, for example, is far more important than anything else and when trying to compare games that factor should be taken into account. Most people these days would not play the older battlefronts, even though you could argue it was better in more categories. To me, that means the new games are better. They are more fun with more engaging gameplay, and the areas they are lacking in are (for the most part) relatively close.
