Star Wars Battlefront 2 has now broken its all time players record on Steam

And it is not even the best Battlefront game.

The OG Battlefront is just too good for this world. Just make Battlefield but in Star Wars, no shitty card or stupid crap for the streamer to show of.

If only Aspyr wasnt the cheap pieces of trash they are and released a good remaster that conquer the online world and showed the EA that the OG Battlefront formula is still good.
 
Was on tonight for 2 hours with my buddy so we did our part on ps5! Servers have been hopping for a while though.
 
Can anyone offer any real insight as to why?

Seems odd that a game that's been out for years with very little noise around it and no live service element would show growth at this stage.
The game is fun and most people just want to do some kind of BF team games without all the bs store stuff. That's my guess. I go back and play old shooters sometimes because they're not stores with games in them like a COD or Fortnite.

Gameplay and dogfight-wise, yeah the first one was definitely better. But my biggest gripe with the first one was lack of content. It was strictly the OG trilogy with one map set on episode 7.

BF2's card system was atrocious but I would happily pick it over the first game simply because of the larger palette of locations and it has my favorite heroes/classes
 
Epic Store version linked to the dire EA app doesn't even launch anymore. Loads of complaints about it online.
Im playing through gamepass to EA app and its working fine - but the EA app is indeed dire.
This made me fire up a bunch of old EA shooters - BF4 and BC2 to be exact. Shame BC2 is so sparse with players, still the best, but I could barely find a Rush server using the Roma dll.
 
so it looks like you need to have the cards maxed out to even out the playfield? feels like im not up the others because i dont have the good cards.

The progression system is the fucking worst. I wonder if it was designed that way so they could sell you instant upgrades which they had to walk back (people wouldn't even bat an eye at their monetization plans nowadays)
When you start out everyone has better weapons than you, and even if you had th e same weapon theirs does more damage and can fire for longer without overheating. Also they have better health than you and other skills.
But if you grind you can slowly unlock some of the same stuff - but only for that class. You want to try a different class you start at the bottom again.
But dont worry you also get access to special characters as you build up battle points - oh but they also have special cards that you will need to grind to get access to, and you may only get to play as them once every handful of games.
 
I am still not able to fully comprehend this battlefront renaissance.

Just from the hype of Fortnite event are we seeing 2 months worth of peak traffic. The graph is just not slowing down.

Its a really good game that plays decent and looks suprisingly great even on my 1650 laptop at 1080p.
The progression is horrible but it also probably keeps people hooked in for awhile.

It's currently on sale for $4 which explains the latest peak.
