Hello there! I’m Cade and have been playing BF2 since release back in 2017 and soooo happy to see that it’s coming back alive lately. I’m on PlayStation if any other PS players out there looking to play :)
The largest Star Wars Multiplayer experience ever made, Battlefront II just had a sudden spike in player count across all platforms.
On May 2nd, the player count on Steam servers alone peaked for the first time since 2021.
This is likely caused by Disney's success in Andor season 2, and the recent Fortnite collaboration with Star Wars. This leaves fans yearning for an immersive Star Wars multiplayer experience.
And where do fans turn to? Battlefront II, of course.
I recently started playing the game again for the first time in years, and it felt so good charging Separatist lines as Obi Wan Kenobi, and cutting down Rebel scum as Darth Vader.
Battlefront II brings back a feeling that no other game can (and will) fulfill, and that is why I, as well as countless other players, have returned to the best Star Wars video game franchise ever created.
So what are you waiting for? Hop into a round of Supremacy and you'll see what I mean.
See you on the battlefront, and may the force be with you, always.

Since the Battlefront 2 wiki is pretty inactive, I thought I'd ask this here. Is anyone else having trouble connecting to the BFT2 servers, or is it just me? I understand that EA cut support for the servers and stopped updating them, but as far as I'm aware they haven't fully cut the servers.
The original Battlefront II was amazing, and I loved playing it on my PS2. I recently bought it on Steam and I had forgotten to find there was a campaign you could play through (I sunk all my time into Instant Action matches before and never checked the campaign out). I had heard of the “Journals of the 501st” before, but I didn’t realize it was tied to the game. Anyhow, I gave it a play through and thought I’d share my thoughts.
The gameplay is as great as I remembered, and even though the 2017 Battlefront II obviously plays a lot smoother in some respects, the wave of nostalgia I felt running around familiar maps was wonderful. I will say, some of the objectives within each mission got a little repetitive, and some of the missions were surprisingly difficult. The attack on the Jedi Temple and Yavin IV gave me a lot of trouble.
The missions on Naboo, Mustafar, and Kamino were probably my favorites to play. I thought they were creative ways to further connect the Empire of the original trilogy with some of the planets and ideas introduced in the prequels. We kind of take that connectivity for granted nowadays.
I think the concept of the 501st being this elite division of troops who were present at all these major battles we saw in the films is a really cool idea. It’s a neat to think that at least some of the same troopers we saw carry out the attack on the Jedi Temple in ROTS could be the stormtroopers who invaded the Tantive IV in ANH or the snowtroopers at the Battle of Hoth in TESB. Temuera Morrison’s dramatic narration opening and closing each level was a nice touch.
It was interesting how different the clones were portrayed here compared to Canon and even other Legends media. Here, they’re not compelled by chips or designed to be so obedient that they’d follow any order. They’re just extremely loyal to Palpatine and knew all along they existed to kill the Jedi and enforce the Empire’s rule.
I also didn’t realize the clones were used as stormtroopers for so long in Legends. The campaign mentions later stormtroopers were a mix of clones from different DNA templates, and I know human recruits were later added, but the 501st clones were around all the way through Hoth. It probably has to do with their loyalty to the Empire being less of a question, but I wonder if their accelerated aging is slower than in Canon.
Overall I had fun with the campaign, especially with how short it was. This would’ve been amazing to play when it was released close to ROTS. Now, back to knocking down Super Battle Droids…
What did you guys think of the 2005 Battlefront II campaign?
This was a clip of my one of my best duels in Battlefront II. https://youtube.com/shorts/RA5zr1XVKAY?si=aXAPv4u9yV9pPgIy

I'm back to share more of the feelings and little details that were brought to me while exploring Battlefront II maps in single player. I'd like to thank you all for the likes on my previous posts, and I hope you enjoy this as well.
Venturing far from the base makes me feel a sense of detachment, like you could wander the frigid cold alone forever. It makes me appreciate the collective the Rebels have. Is it just me, or do the dark moons seem to add to the Empire's armada, while the sun casts a heavenly light on the Rebels?
I noticed this shrine was an original creation for this game. I wonder who this shrine was made for, that even random pirates come to commemorate them. The text is even written in ur-kittât. Makes me think if the soldiers we play as will be remembered, or forgotten.
I must've played this map for hours, but I never noticed the dead Rancor near point Besh. I'm glad I took the time to explore these maps, I think my next time battling will be enhanced.
I've decided to share some more of the thoughts I had while exploring the worlds of Battlefront II in single player, it really astounds me how much attention to detail I've found in these maps.
While traversing across this plaza the thoughts of what ancient beings from centuries ago were doing on the very spot I stood captivated me. It makes me wonder what the battlefronts will become for citizens a millennia in the future.
Stopping to stare at the scenery made me imagine the events that led to this accident. I love that even trivial things such as these sphere-shaped stage elements have a story to be told. It was somebody's job to use this crane. Sorry!
Harkening back to the feel of the ancient plaza, I noticed this area is the ruins of one of those ball things on the sides of a Star Destroyer's head. The scavenger community seems to have set up shop here to look for parts, and I love the blast of orange color they've brought amongst the grey and tan.
Lately I found myself with an overabundance of free time, and decided to put down my blaster and take the time to admire the maps of Dice's Battlefront II.
Our first destination is Geonosis, where the wreckage of a terrible accident occurred. Or, perhaps... it was on purpose. I know the area around has extraordinary alien sights, but this makes me feel somber.
The next stop is Felucia. I never stopped to think our battle arena was once someone's home, and the image of this family's frantic desertion of it makes me feel terrible playing as either team, because we are still invaders, one way or the other.
Our final destination for today is Ajan Kloss. Even if the Sequels didn't introduce much new technology, I'm glad the Battlefront devs tried, and created such an interesting weapon of war, and amazing map.
P.S.: Please que for all eras in supremacy, it's not the devs fault the Sequels sucked, they poured their souls into the new maps, try them out.
The Clone Underground from the Bad Batch reminds of the Kamino Uprising from the original version of Star Wars Battlefront II but with some major key differences like Tipoca City being left intact in the game with the Kaminoans rising up against the Empire, and Imperial Stormtroopers from the 501st & Boba Fett being sent to wipe this rebellion out plus the city still being around years after the Galactic Civil War, whereas in canon the Kaminoans never made new clones to use against the Empire nor did they rebel against them as Tarkin had Tipoca City bombarded by Venator-Class Star Destroyers & destroyed the city, stole the cloning technology for Palpatine to use for his own experiments, and lastly Rex was the one who started this rebellion. Doesn't the Clone Underground remind anyone of this as I notice they are similar but differ from each other the same time and what is your opinion about these comparisons?
