You can already get both of these games.

modern code base and console ports i suppose. just glad it looks like they are not updating the OG versions. The last time they updated Bf2 it broke so much they had to retract the update

Updated ports that will be easier to run on modern machines

Not sure but it might be a great way to help get people playing classic Battlefront again and it's a lot better than EA's attempt. Loved these games.

Achievements are going to be another great addition to these games as well, I'm sure you can appreciate that as a fellow achievement hunter!

Controller support too

i know bf2 2005 has beta 360 controller drivers or something. you cant pause unless you do like a steam guide button short cut and map it to esc or just use a keyboard, but it controls pretty well if you tune it correctly.

better AI would be nice. i hate when shotgunners switch to the blow torch and just run at you unable to do damage. Once they do that switch they rarely switch back it kinda sucks lol

I dont think its cross play.

[Majestät]

Are we going to need to launch it on Origin or whatever EA uses to play this?

This contains the xbox exclusive DLC for BF2, which also includes the updated code that only the xbox version had. Modders have ported the DLC over to PC but it could never be fully complete due to a limitation in the engine itself, which were changed in said xbox version.

Hopefully this release will also contain QoL improvements to make the game work better on modern systems, like fixing BF2's awful menu resolutions, etc. Could even have AI heroes in normal matches like the console versions did.

The biggest point, if you are a player, would be that you are getting new players to a game thats very old today :D
Can't get better I guess!

[UnluckySpade7]

last time they tried to update bf2 people got upset cuz it broke mods
