Battlefront 2 was a massively important game for me as a kid and I think that it mostly holds up. Nothing is ever quite as good as your childhood memories of it, but revisiting this was a fun nostalgia trip and I had a good time.
Space battles, playable heroes, and a narrative campaign are the big additions over its predecessor. Space battles add some much needed diversity to gameplay and the heroes are a fun reward for doing well. The campaign is also well-crafted, offering an interesting look into the Clones' perspectives during the fall of the Republic.
However, I think you can definitely tell this was developed in a year. The menus and UI are super bland and ugly, loading screens are blurry screenshots of gameplay, and the entire thing has a very unfinished, placeholder look. The map design also took a hit I think, and BF1's maps are overall stronger and more tightly designed.
Still a fun time and a worthwhile nostalgia trip. The PC version also has a very active and cool modding scene and they're doing crazy stuff with the game.

The story of the 501st Legion in the REAL Battlefront II is canon in my heart, even if Disney don’t agree.
eu joguei isso quando tinha uns 8 anos e mesmo sem saber absolutamente nada de star wars eu ainda assim joguei isso aqui demais. pelo amor de deus que jogo bão. eu ainda não vi mais da metade dos filmes
This is everything EA wants their games to be. Might be the nostalgia speaking, but holy heck. BEST. GAME. EVER. Also, the Jedi Temple mission is hard as hell. Goddamn jedis STOP DESTROYING THE DAMN BOOKSHELVES PLEASE I CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE :(
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005) é um salto no "hiperespaço" comparado com o seu antecessor por finalmente estabelecer uma experiência "single-player" mais divertida e proveitosa com mais variedade e uma sequência de alternativas que fogem de maneira eficiente da necessidade de só o seu modo online ser bom, que mesmo que no antigo tinha um modo "Campanha" (que era bem raso), não era tão interessante e tão convidativo quanto esse aqui que temos, por exemplo, o modo de jogar além da campanha com só os "Heróis vs. Vilões" da franquia que é um modo tão conhecido e amado pela galera que conhece esses jogos (Battlefront), que aqui é chamado de "Assault" e é encontrado infelizmente apenas no mapa de "Mos Eisley" no modo "Instant Action" para ser jogado em partidas off-line com bots, e também a de voltando a falar da campanha ter a grata surpresa e o prazer de poder jogar com alguns desses personagens importantes da Saga "Star Wars" nos demais momentos específicos que eles aparecem, o que é uma surpresa ótima quando alguns deles aparecem nela e é uma boa forma para variar toda a gameplay que é inteiramente focada na batalha dos demais soldados da República com a Federação Galáctica ou dos Rebeldes contra o Império.
Toda a história da campanha do jogo gira em torno da perspectiva de um esquadrão de até então "Clone Troopers", conhecidos pelo codinome de "501st Legion", narrado por um deles, que apesar de terem sido criados para esse jogo e é importante lembrar que essa perspectiva apresentada não é considerada oficialmente canônica (mas que convenhamos da pra ser, haha), foram extremamente importantes nos demais acontecimentos de toda a franquia de Star Wars por estarem na maioria deles em que avançando na história vemos eles ajudando ao Conselho Jedi na época da República até executando toda a "Ordem 66" e assim indo da Trilogia "Prequel" até a Trilogia "Clássica", em que acaba, especificamente no planeta de "Hoth" ("Episódio V - O Império Contra Ataca").
O seu modo "multiplayer", por incrível que pareça, ainda de certa forma vive que por mais que tenham jogadores escassos por lá, ainda dependendo do dia dá para jogar algumas partidas de leve com esses players. Enfim, não preciso falar mais nada do porquê esse jogo ainda vale a pena, que dou todo o crédito aos desenvolvedores por trazerem um ótimo porte para a Steam, sem nem a necessidade ou a dica que sempre dou de capar o FPS, já que até nisso o jogo está extremamente bem otimizado e funcional, o que é bem surpreendente para a idade que esse clássico tem. Ah, e um último adendo que esqueci de mencionar, é que esse jogo apresenta em alguns momentos da campanha, algumas partes que são batalhas no espaço para variar do combate terrestre que é bem repetitivo nesse jogo, e o que eu acho mais legal, é que sabendo que esse modo também é bem repetitivo, a desenvolvedora deixa a opção para você de escolher se deseja pular ou não na campanha, apenas apertando na opção "Bypass Space" quando ela aparece, já que toda a parte de fato primariamente interessante na campanha do jogo é nos combates terrestres.

Back in the day I always started shooting my own allies pretending I was an evil traitor

Everything about this is perfect, conquest mode is the best thing I've ever played now. With all the fun mini game modes, and a surprisingly compelling single player narrative. This game really improved so much about the first one. I was pretty addicted to this game.
Oh boy I remember hanging out in a cabin on vacation playing this game plugged into the wall on my psp when I was a kid, this was the life.
even by todays standards, this is a legendary game and 100% playable. I've easily put more than 1000+ hours into this game with friends/family and solo play on campaign or instant action. some of my best memories from any game are unlocking the award weapons and medals in this game. still play this at least once or twice a month just because of how fun it is. the campaign is great, tons of maps, classes are fun
classic
i just remember playing a lot on the cantina band level
IMO, best Star Wars game of all time. Better than Battlefront 2 (2017) objectively. I love this game so much. So much chaos and so much content. An All Time Great
best shooter ever made
Best star wars. Could be a masterpiece with a good remake, but new games show that they dont know how to do it.
Yeah, I have to give this classic of a game full rating. Why? If you are a Star Wars fan, you have to try this, trust me! Finished the campaign in 3 hours, and after all those years, multiplayer still filled with players. You play as a 501st trooper in the campaign, and you have different modes of playing!
Best star wars game
For the nostalgia
Really fun game. I liked the single player and I just loved doing instant action and Galactic Conquest. This is also one of my personal favorite games to download mods for.
PEAK-ER STAR WARS PERFORMANCE
ej he ett vivid minne av å spele ditta med min nabo elias og han som fortelle mej "du leve for å drepe" når ej fikk spele som en jedi, ej vart hyped up
When i saw that they were gonna do a reboot of this game i almost cried i cant cap.
les bataille spatial sont génial et pouvoir conduire les gros véhicule à plusieurs ce qui est cool
Watched my mom play this when I was little, so nostalgic
Wonderful memories with my brother.
A game of all time.
Still incredibly fun to this day, played on both PC and PS2. A 16 v 16 Battlefield-esque first person shooter starring Star Wars characters. Sneaking onto the enemy starship in split screen and destroying the engine and internals is still one of my favorite and oldest gaming memories.
The DLC for this was next level. Kit Fisto is the best Jedi
despite being severely gimped the psp version is still a blast
Battlefront 2 IS THE BIGGEST CERTIFIED CLASSIC
I remember in school me and my best bud at the time talking about star wars and some of the games and we were talking about BF2 and how amazing it is, ugh man missing those days of early gaming discovery back then some information was mind blowing but nowdays if you get this type of interaction as a child it would not be a big deal.
Gameplay
An amazing classic third person action game, with lots of maps and different approaches, one map you will find yourself in kashyyyk fighting aganist the separatists and in another in a huge space conflict.
There no words that can explain the gameplay of the classic BF, the variety of classes and different clones and droids are at a respectable level, back when I played it the first time truly I WAS AMAZED by how much content you get and planets you can visit.
Story
Starting the campaign right from attack of the clones in geonosis as a first generation clone and after that you witness the moments before order 66 by helping jedi master ki-adi mundi and at the last call you participate in the downfall of the jedi, the 501st legion changes and serves the galactic empire alongside darth vader.
You participate as vader's most trusted legion, his most powerful choice, experiencing the events of revenge of the sith till empire strikes back.
Gotta say man, the cutscenes the journal was very emotional, knowing you are that clone/troop. I like how they did the story on this one, hoth was the hardest mission and funny it was the last one, I mean the objective was kinda easy by capturing the base and placing the beacon with the coordinates but the time limit and the amount of rebels were the real problem.
Bonus
This game is extremely moddable, in the last year after I replayed it I installed some mods that made the game around 55 gigs in total so the dedication for modding community is pretty big.
Conclusion
This is the better version of the recent battlefront 2, the classic one strikes back good, EA had a chance with BF2017 but it was too late for changes instead we got a really forgettable campaign that showed more of the graphics instead of story value and a lot of pay2win garbage.
