Why was this game so unbalanced?

[e.e]

Back in the day they had forums. Or did the devs not give a ♥♥♥♥?

Back when this game was made, the devs went for a quantity-over-quality approach. Essentially, they added a lot of content but hardly put much effort or anything unique into it, and when you take away the Star Wars fluff, it really is just a Battlefield clone with some slightly different mechanics. I think that also explains why it's terribly unbalanced at times imo *he says as several people are typing*

[e.e]

Quantity over quality i don't know if that was the norm for star wars games or was just this one in particular

Nah m8, most Star Wars games were excellent (Jedi Knight series in particular being manna from heaven xD), but I've personally noticed that this game in particular just didn't age well in general, not just due to being..well, old, but I think it also has to do with the balancing issues, lack of variety between maps, etc. It was really good for its time and it still kind of holds up imo, but it definitely isn't as great as I remember it being.

[e.e]

Stuff like Endor and Space Imperials vs Rebels are the worst.

I would like to have a refined modernized battlefront 3. Like this game but bigger, modern, balanced

Honestly I'd say the new Battlefront II is the closest we're ever going to get to a good modern Battlefront game as of the time of this writing, but yeah I agree.

I haven't noticed it being unbalanced. I enjoy it, including the maps that "randomgamer158" criticised. Taste in games is subjective. I prefer to appreciate this game, so I can enjoy life more. the classic Star Wars Battlefront 2 is one of my all-time favourite games.

By the way, if you dislike it, then the appropriate people to tell are the game designers, so they can make games that you like more. When you gossip with other players on these Steam player forums, you're simply wasting time and bringing people's moods down.

Did you try multiplayer?

I thought it was balanced fine, I had no issues.

Did you mean multiplayer? Please specify that, some of us never even touched the multiplayer because we didn't care about it.

Yeah I mean multiplayer. Multipalyer is pretty fun. But on unbalanced maps it can be quite frustrating.
Republic vs CIS Space. Arc 170s have such a huge hitbox compared to Vulture droid starfighter it's not even fair. LAAT gunships have no missiles and inferior turrets. Republic has no chance to win. Half of the Space Maps are unbalanced cuz of this.

While Droid gunships have missiles that are great at dogfighting. Lambda Shuttles have Missiles that just tear through the way to the enemy hanger.
Rebels have a better chance since X wings don't have huge hitboxes. Not as one sided but Empire has the edge here.

Endor is unbalanced because the rebels always win. The Ewoks are a factor that can kill you. Im not sure how it is unbalanced when AT STs are a thing but Empire nearly always loses. but 2/10 the Empire wins.

Hoth can go kinda both Ways. But you gotta have a really smart Empire team to win.

As for Geonosis well i haven't had the chance to play it enough in multiplayer to judge only a few times. Cuz it's hard to find a dedicated server that has the right amount of people.

And with Heroes on in conquest/ctf maps. Oh boy Tantive IV Leia vs Vader. There's a reason why people disable Heroes on Ground maps.

I never really care about multiplayer in any shooter game, unless it is Coop. I am not a huge fan of versus shooters.

[e.e]

Oh well I think the Ai isn't competent to have interesting battles with even with higher difficulty. Ai don't know how to use gunships. So you have to do it yourself. They never actually go in the enemy hanger. So singleplayer instant action is always a guaranteed win for the player. It's fine for slaughtering people with heroes especially with mods but it nevers gives you a hard fight.

some maps are naturally unbalanced like Endor or kashyyyk but I never play online anyways so offline the balancing doesnt really matter.
