STAR WARS™: Battlefront Classic Collection

Game works now.

This is my experience with this whole thing: Now mind you that I played Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront 2 back on the original XBOX in the 2000's. I had no internet in those days, so with the exception of visiting a friends house, it was campaign, instant action, and galactic conquest. Single player and split-screen. So the Nintendo Direct announces Battlefront Classic Collection, and I was like "cool," I noted that the words "remaster" and 'Remake' were conspicuously absent, replaced with the word "classic." I also noted that it was Aspyr doing it. I own, on my Nintendo Switch, most of their other Star Wars products. Republic Commando, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, Episode 1:Racer. These are all childhood favorites of mine and they run and play fine on switch. A caveat to that is Republic Commando runs at thirty FPS, as the Switch is wont to do. I don't understand why that and other games from one or two or even three console generations ago are not running at 60 frames a second on that thing, when Doom Eternal of all things is, albeit with the visuals much reduced. But that is neither here nor there. All those games I mentioned are offline games, except for Jedi Academy, but the servers on switch were empty so I cannot speak to that, but I imagine that anyone who can play that game online on a PC is doing so there instead of on the switch. I did not play this game on day one, I would have liked to but I was doing overtime for the whole week. I played two campaign missions on the first Battlefront and it was everything I remembered. then I heard all the fuss about the online and other things, and thought to myself, "huh, Isn't this what happened to Helldivers 2? But people are still praising that game, myself included, fascinating." I want to say that I played the online before the first patch but I can't say for sure, but when I did play it, I noticed nothing of what I was told, I think the very first time there was no connection, also just like my experience with Helldivers 2. I'm sure there are differences and won't be surprised to see all of them in the comments. What Helldivers did not have was campaign and galactic conquest. I set about replaying both modes on both games and am still working on the Rise of the Empire, Battlefront 2's campaign, but I am currently stuck on the Yavin mission amidst a sea of rebels constantly spawning, and the trauma of the single-player campaign came flooding back and I love it. I get on the online now and its empty but it plays fine for me. I was even able to do several missions and a galactic conquest on split screen, even though, i guess there were issues with using controllers. it is, as far as I can tell, exactly what it says, a classic collection. it has been made to run on modern hardware at resolutions we now use. I have the 2005 Battlefront 2 on PC as well and on my monitor the UI looks made for ants. I do understand that mods do all that and more. I noticed the backgrounds textures and a few other minor graphical elements have been touched up. I do think there was a lot of missed opportunities, The primary things being only two player split-screen when the original console versions had four player split-screen. The other one is galactic conquest mode is only for local play, I think most of the game's community has wanted that for a long time. Thus ends my review.

im just an average guy with my own views, but that dont stop me from realizing when something is now good, people change just as these games change, ♥♥♥♥♥ all you want, im going to play this, idgaf what big mega corp i fund, well guess what, the future is ran by megacorps, they will get us to space-faring age. enough of that, get the game, stop whining, lets play some battlefront with the boys.

Very good game. I know it had a rough start but come on guys, give it a little slack. In my experience, it works way better now. 10/10 remake

So I bought the game with no expectations and just happy it worked and ya just buy the og titles and mod them I will be playing this game I enjoyed the older games to where this is worth it for me. But it is not worth for most people and I do regret not refunding this when I realised what was, which was a cash grab.

this game made me want to remove most of my limbs from my body, absolute embarassment

Just an absolute terrible game
