It was never going to have huge numbers for a long time regardless of how well the launch went.

A big reason why i reversed my refund as soon as the patch dropped was because i knew its now or never. You either have to play while the iron is still hot or you aren't ever going to see that level of numbers in this game ever again.

Each patch might bring a burst of players but anyone that didn't jump in over launch week has most likely missed the best times with this game already.

Going into this i knew a new launch would attract enough players to populate both BF1 and BF2 for a few weeks which was enough time to soak up some awesome nostalgic sessions online with friends.

The game has perfectly ticked that box for me. Had an amazing time replaying old maps with active servers and people in the chat genuinely having a good time.

I grew bored again after a week and a bit of playing most evenings and have moved onto other games. Dragons Dogma is out. The sunshine is out etc but i'm super glad i got to experience this game when it had launch buzz because i don't think people are going to ever get that chance again with this or the originals.

It's worth a buy. If the price is too high, I get that. Don't miss out on this upgraded version of these games over the review bombers though. I've been having a blast and have not had any major issues. The only one for me is ultrawide and the menus does not fully work, but everything can still be selected.

Most of the community seemingly wants this to die, which is pathetic. It's a great game. People need to be constructive with these sorts of things. Sure it sounds like some people are having issues. Report those through the proper channels and give Aspyr time to fix them. If they don't in a few months then feel free to review bomb.

Why would anyone want this game to die? How will the old games run in five years if they currently need mods and workarounds to work as is. I have a feeling it will get harder and harder for them to work with time. Review bombing games brought back to life is not a good way to encourage developers to remaster more old games.

I have Windows 10 and have never had a single problem with the OG games. Stop trying to run them in 4k on a triple screen setup, and maybe the games will work for you as well.

You can literally get on the originals any time you want and they are still online. More people playing the OG games than the "collection". You're coping that you wasted your money.

He is mad he spent so much money on an AI upscaled trash port of a 20 year old game.
How this is not on a 90% discount is beyond me.

Or maybe you can go play the originals instead of crying on these forums.

Why though? Why shouldn't I natively be able to enjoy these older games on modern hardware? Playing these in 3440x1440 is an excellent experience. That's great that you enjoy playing those older games at 1920x1080 or less, but I enjoy the more modern experience. Plus it looks better overall on my 3440x1440 monitor for the game I am playing to be that resolution.

The original games may still work for now. Many games do not though and given time the originals of these will not work on newer systems either if I had to guess. This collection is a good thing and I hope to see more games come back.

If I can play KOTOR I & II on 4k ultra (And literally every other game I own) then I should be able to play these games on 4k as well. CC gives us that.

I agree the price is overblown. I'm not saying stating your opinion is wrong. I'm saying, instead of doing something constructive, you are here in the forums of a game you are heavily bias against, ridiculing people for enjoying said game because they find enjoyment where you do not.

169 players right now and with region block good luck playing anywhere out of the US and Europe. Scamware

Yep I bitterly regret buying this. The only improvement it has given me is smoother alt tabbing. Was that worth £24? Nope. Less people online on battlefront 2 and battlefront 1 has similar numbers. Can't tell graphical difference in game. It's kind of fun having console ui and menus like I remember though I guess.

Battlefront 1 campaigns completed and they all worked great. Only difference I see now in battlefront 1 is occasionally ill get a really loud static noise out of nowhere. Apart from that it's good. Will try battlefront 2 campaign soon.


If I'm honest even if it worked 100% flawlessly I'm not sure it would have retained players. People have been able to play the games with working online on steam for years. For some reason there isn't much demand for these games on pc.

Although maybe if the 10k who were on at launch found a smoother online experience more would have stayed. Who knows! Even today if they came back there would be same issue because there's only a handful of dedicated servers still and people don't start their own ones.
