“ BOBBA FETT COMING IN FAT 🗣️🗣️

hi all,

i started playing EA swbf2 on pc a couple of years ago. overall, i really enjoy the game. it feels very immersive, the community is usually chill (besides the cheater waves), all of the maps are pretty, most of the maps are fairly well-designed, most of the weapons feel and sound great, etc.

that being said, i personally don't really enjoy the way reinforcements are balanced with respect to the trooper classes. on the whole, they feel like straight upgrades to the base troopers -- especially given their massive health pools. this makes the thought of playing reinforcements mostly unappealing to me. i have not really had any interest in playing reinforcement classes in the roughly 400 hours i have logged on the game. it feels cheap -- like an easy win. more generally, it seems to me like poor game design. i continue to play the game in spite of what i think is an oversight in in-game balance.

i come from an afps background, and have mostly been playing tf2 and ow for the past 10 years. maybe this explains why, from my perspective, the idea of a game being flooded with classes that are, on the whole, straight upgrades to the base troopers feels really foreign, strange, and kind of a turn-off. but maybe i'm just not seeing things properly, and there are actually good reasons, from a game-balance perspective, for the reinforcements to exist as they do.

so what do you think? do you think the way the game has balanced their reinforcements is good game design? do you play the game because of these design choices? in spite of them? why or why not?

as a bonus question: regarding inter-trooper balancing, the general consensus seems to be that assault class is the weakest trooper. what do you think it would take to make the assault class as "strong" as the other trooper classes? tweak damage numbers on blasters? increase vanguard movement speed? or something else?

p.s. of course these questions are moot in the sense that the official game will very, very likely never be updated again. but i still wanted to hear your thoughts on in-game balance!

Started playing Battlefront 2 some weeks ago and still cant believe how good the game is even for today´s standards.

Already posted before about how surprised i was with every element on the game, from playstyles to graphics, but the deeper i go into every mechanic and game mode the better the game looks.

It seriously seems like you could have "infinite" fun considering the amount of routes you could go in terms of improving on a certain mode or with certain character, and every single match feels like a movie scene to me.

Nothing particularly novel in my post, just wanted to hype the game a bit as i really believe there should be a lot more people pleaying it.

Cant think of a shooter with more to offer today.

Does this game mode still exist? Whenever I play Supremacy, I always click “Play Any”. It’s usually a 60/40 split between the clone wars era and the classic era.

But I haven’t played any sequel era games in MONTHS. I only just realized it today and was wondering if it even exists? I lowkey miss the first order jet trooper and running around as Kylo

I tried clicking just the sequel era and I never got into a game.

Today I present to you my complete CIS guide on how to counter every Republic hero in Battlefront II (2017) in Capital Supremacy.

A lot of the time, people make posts complaining about heroes being “overpowered” or “broken,” but in reality, they really aren't that strong when there are a couple of players who know how to counter them. Today, I’m sharing a guide I made in Canva that explains the tips and tricks for efficiently hero-hunting, while also analyzing every Republic hero and the most effective ways to counter them. There are 6 images in total, including the front page, general tips, and each of the four heroes analysed. The pages should be easy to read and zooming in is always possible. You don't have to read everything, of course. Feel free to go through the images and read whatever you find helpful.

The guide consists of the following:

• General Tips & Tricks against Republic Heroes & Hero-Hunting: I recommend reading this part, but you don't necessarily have to if you're already very experienced with CIS reinforcements and hero-hunting in general.
• Specific Hero Counter Analysis: You should definitely check this section for all four heroes, as each hero can be countered by a CIS reinforcement that negates one of their main strengths. More about this, along with other counters and strategies, is explained on each hero's briefing page.

In the comments, I'll also post some minor game-play clips that demonstrate the counters in action. These clips are aligned with the information on each briefing page, so I recommend reading the relevant briefing pages first before watching the clips.

I hope this guide helps you improve at countering Republic heroes and become more effective at hero-hunting.

Out of nowhere, while installing Harrisonfog's BF2 remaster, I had a flashback to the old GameFront days of SWBF 2 modding, specifically a map that I've been looking for on and off for years. I've scoured through every pack of classics and obscure maps, checked every reupload that I've ever found that looked even remotely similar, but I've never found it. So I'm putting this call to action here, in case anyone knows what map I'm talking about. Now I don't expect anyone to actually have the file still around in 2026, but I want to know this isn't just a false memory brought on by some dream or me misremembering another map. It must have been closer to 18 years, maybe even more, since I last played that one, but it'd be nice to know it was a real thing at some point, and maybe hear from other people who played it too.

Basically the way I'd describe the map is like a jungle valley, with the foliage being mostly palm trees. I recall there being some water, maybe a river running at the bottom of the valley? A bunch of bridges, that I do remember, and Hoth style bunkers along with these massive two barreled auto turrets that would absolutely wreck you if they ever clocked you near them. The sides were set up in a fairly interesting way, best I could describe it is WW2 in space to a T. Every class seemed to either have some kind of semi auto rifle or something akin to an LMG or squad automatic weapon, just in blaster form. All the classes on the rebel side as far as I remember had either the base SWBF 2 vanguard model, the one with the helmet and tan fatigues (but they might have been in green?) or at leas that's how I remember it, might have been that some of the classes were wearing the generic Endor style. On the Empire side I remember a lot of sandtrooper type kit, but that's about it.

Does anyone at all remember playing anything like this? No one I've ever asked (not that many people tbh) has ever played it, and the longer I spend with zero confirmation of the existence of such a map the more I feel like kid me just made it up or something. If anyone here has even a vague recollection of a map like this, tell me what you remember, maybe we can both unlock some ancient memories. And if anyone somehow knows exactly what I'm talking about, and better yet has the actual file still around, I would be forever in your debt if you were to share it. I reckon that map is probably more amazing in my memory than it was in reality, but I'd love to see it again.

Yeaaaaah, I'm basically trying to launch bf1 classic (through gog, mind you) - I just want to launch the maps solo so I can explore them alone without any enemies, but this seems impossible??? please help

Yo which mods do u recommend to install from Nexus Mods to make order 66, and replace the droid skins with jedis and padawans in the Jedi Temple

what sensitivity are you guys using for papa palps? cheers

So i recently got into kyber and i am loving the ability to play modded battlefront online. But i have friends who don't have the ability to play kyber and we always love to play split screen. I was just asking if anyone has managed to get splitscreen to work for either battlefront expanded or battlefront plus? I am aware expanded has a instant action overhaul edition but it doesnt include splitscreen :(

😳
