Battlefront II (17 vs 05)

[TechSwagPimp1337]

The new Battlefront II is pay to win scaled up to a ridiculous degree. It costs $80. No one should support it.

On the other hand, the legacy version has been given multiplayer support, and everyone starts the round with the same exact base weapons and has the ability to upgrade through their classes required skill, like headshots or slices. It costs around $5 or 10 on Steam.
 

Can someone help me make a decision on which to buy for Christmas?

This is probably a troll post but I don’t care because it is very true and has a good point. 

 

Get the legacy.

The Classic 2005 version is great. Probably the best Star Wars game I've played other than Republic Commando

Personally I think the 2005 Battlefront 2 is complete shit. Such a completely overhyped game in my opinion. Multiplayer was okay at best, but the "campaign" was trash (Cutscenes were good though).

 

Of course, the multiplayer scene on the new 2017 Battlefront 2 is a bit of a mess, isn't it?

I couldn't disagree more.

 

Republic Commando was badass - a great game, but Battlefront 1 and 2 were both pretty awful games.

 

There are so many superior Star Wars games to Battlefront 2.

 

KOTOR, KOTOR 2, Force Unleashed 1 & 2, Jedi Knight series (Jedi Academy in particular had some of the best saber combat in a Star Wars game), etc.

It's pretty awesome. Add to that the massive amount of cool mods, with people still actively making them 12 years after the release of the game, and you've got a pretty cool title. But the graphics can't hold a candle to Battlefront II 2017.

I agree. Although my 1050ti is not the best for it I am going to upgrade to a 1070ti

The replay value was extremely high. Also, the modding community has helped it live well beyond it's expiration date. EA took a big dump on everybody and said that they didn't add modding support because people aren't smart enough to use the Frostbite engine right.

The old man in me definitely prefer 2005 version over the new one. Battlefront 2, Battlefield 2.. so many class skipping i had to extend my study.
