Battlefront 2 (2005) control issue on Xbox 360 system link

Hey so every time I try to system link on the 360, I get this weird issue where every time I press ANY button, including just looking around with the right stick, I get this really weird issue where my character moves slightly forward and to the right. I’m not sure why. I am 100% sure it is not the controller. I have tried 4 different controllers on 2 different systems. Doesn’t happen in single system split screen or in single player. Anyone ran into this before by chance?

UPDATE: If anyone is ever has this issue, the way I resolved it was hosted the game with an og Xbox. Then I could join that hosted game with Xbox 360s and they would not experience the bug.

Star Wars Battlefront (2004) Quasi Review

Hey all,

I recently put together a quasi review for Star Wars Battlefront 2004. If you have any interest/time to kill feel free to check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Ovy3SKQmE&ab_channel=Arrowden

If you have something more valuable to do with your time than listen to someone praise battlefront for the umpteenth time I understand. I'll be sad, but not disappointed.

Thank you for reading!

Custom Era Support is coming to Classic Collection Battlefront 2 via 0 Patch!

What was once previously impossible is now possible thanks to the awesome community modders who are striving to make Classic Collection better on their own terms.

An upcoming update to the 0 patch mod allows for completely custom eras and custom game modes to be played, which also includes online and splitscreen without any big limitations. It is currently being stress tested and I had the pleasure of being able to help out in that department.

Previously impossible mods to play splitscreen like Republic Commando: Battlefront can finally be done locally.

Mods like custom campaign missions, survival and wave, order 66, etc. being played locally is so much fun and is some of the best fun I have had in years playing this game.

Classic collection Pistol buff

Did they buff the pistol for the jet trooper. It used to take like 5 to 6 hits for a kill but now it takes like 2 to 3. It feels faster to. This is for battlefront 1

It is pity that you cannot use first person view for vehicles in battlefront 2 (2017). Sometimes you can even see an enemy because of third person view.

I liked the first battlefront (2004) because of first person view feature

BF2 mod for playable campaign mission factions

Is there a mod for the original BF2 that allows you to play as the various campaign-only factions (Jedi Temple Guards, Naboo Soldiers, Kamino Phase 1 Clones, etc) in instant action? I noticed they have different classes like the playable factions so it should be possible, but can’t find anything online to make them playable.

My weekly battlefront sessions

Me and a bunch of extended family members play Battlefront 2015 every Thursday night from about 10 pm EST to 2 am EST. Our party usually ranges between 6 and 8 people. If anyone wants to arrange a match of a less-played mode like Sabotage or Battle Station, let me know.

Battlefront 2 Server issues

PS5 UK players here.

I come back to this game every once in a while to bash it until I get bored but the last 3 times I've had this game installed, I've had issues with the servers.

The game says my connection isn't stable but here's a few things to point out:

  • I'm sat in a party with friends, there are 0 issues with connection. Everything is crystal clear.
  • I've played both Helldivers 2 and Overwatch 2, both have played absolutely fine with connection.
  • Everytime I've installed this game, the connection issue has persisted to the point it takes me maybe an hour to connect, and I get maybe 1 game before it disconnects me again. No other games have this problem
  • I'm on a wired connection literally less than a foot away from my router, WiFi on my phone is fine too.

I am positive my Internet/Console has nothing to do with connection issues. So what gives? Is it classic EA? Or are the servers for UK PS5 just always hit or (mostly) miss?

Also any fixes? Appreciate it

Legendary Award Not Working

I have demolition at legendary (64 total) but do not get remote rockets at the start of the matches. Is this a glitch or an exception?

Remastered Galactic Conquest

So I’m looking at buying the new remastered Battlefront 1 and 2. Is the Galactic Conquest able to be played online now, and if so how many players can be in a lobby? I just want to be able to play PvE with my buddies

Has anyone beat Yavin IV on hard (BF1 2004)

I have tried and tried and cannot even get close (from the rebel/clone perspective). I thought geonosis was impossible but I eventually did it. This one seems genuinely impossible though

Edit: I mean the Temple map.

Battle of Geonosis is Impossible on Hard

The first Battle of Geonosis on hard is impossible. I’ve tried capturing all the checkpoints, but my AI team won’t kill the Techno Union Ships or get destroyed before getting there.

Tactics I’ve tried:

  • rush kill techno union ships
  • use the gunship that is full to destroy the path to union ships then capture checkpoints
  • aid the ground ships while downing techno union ships with the gunship

I’ve been trying for 2 days on hard. This is impossible.

We need aim assist in multiplayer

The older gentlemen who play this game can’t see like they used to. And their fingers don’t move like they used to, we need to hold their hand and get aspyr to give us multiplayer aim assist so they can feel better at the game. Who’s with me
