A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I was on the fence about it but this random advice from the Internet pushed me over. Thanks!
You're welcome! = 3
Watch those wrist rockets
Yeah I'm sold to, thanks internet stranger!
I’ve mentioned it before, but the single player campaign is worth this price. I frankly couldn’t stand the multiplayer, but the single player story is simple and fun, and has a surprising amount of content. Gorgeous graphics.
I just started playing. The normal shooter PvP was also not my favorite, but do you really think the same of the space battles? I love it a lot.
Yeah, that’s a good point. The space battles are really solid, I forgot how fun they are.
Only thing I miss compared to the old BF2 is landing in the enemy ship to sabotage and the conquest mode. Otherwise, I find it solid. There is a pve arcade and pve large scale battles, both are quite fun to spend time in
It's hard not to like them. Shooting down enemies is not a slog and you don't get sniped it 1 shot, dying is not as bad because you can just jet back to the action in 5 seconds anyways, and who could possibly hate piloting an X-Wing with the intuitive controls?
Does this still have a wild amount of drm and extra launchers?
Does this still have a wild amount of drm
If I’m not mistaken Star Wars is still owned by Disney, of course it’ll have many many many layers of DRM.
and extra launchers
In my experience it’s only the EA launcher that it needs. it works on Linux despite all the bullshit.
Is this game worth getting for a single player experience in the Steam deck?
It's worth 4 bucks at least. I don't know how good it play on SD though, but the campaign is a nice singleplayer shooter
The screenshots and two trailers make me confused whether this is even the game I thought it is from the title. I hate that it doesn't show any gameplay outside of a short scene in the second trailer.
Fuck miramax
This is a solid game for how cheap it goes on sale regularly. I mean it's pretty old now, but still.
Multiplayer can be fun, but there are a lot of bots. The Galactic Conquest mode (the Clone War one that's more like the classic BF games) can kinda drag for a really long time in some matches, but it's still pretty fun to jump in and start blasting.
There are only bots in Supremacy which do drag on for a long time, there are no bots in the Galactic assault mode which is more linear battles with 3-4 phases.
As I've said in other posts when sales come up for this game, it was designed as a slog, you have to grind to get good weapons and "star cards". Hackers will pop up in Galactic Assault here and there but are relatively absent in Supremacy.
Campaign Ai is garbage, story is o k a y at best.
Fun game, toxic community, 8 years 3k hours, will be playing till the servers die
I initially got it for the story lol. Well, I think it was on Games With Gold a few years back and that's how I got it.
Either way I enjoyed the story for what it was, trying to bridge the gap between OT and ST, and thought it didn't do a terrible job at it.
If they die you'll have https://kyber.gg/ to keep going
Oh wow I played on those servers when they came out, didn't know they were still up! Thanks
You're welcome !
A month ago I watched this video (9 min) which paints quite a positive light on Battlefront 2 - after the very negative reviews and community feedback after release 8 years ago.
