Why is this considered better than BF1 2004?

Bells and whistles like space battles and playing as a Jedi/Sith don't matter when the maps are inferior and the gunplay is a complete downgrade when compared to BF1.

I personally like bf1 most but I think the reason bf2 is so popular is because of 3 things. 1 the game came out the same time as revenge of the sith so they could say "play as you favorite jedi or sith from the movie!" when in battlefront 1 came out without a new movie to promote it. 2 Mods. once modding became popular modders chose to mod this game and not the other one why that is I don't know. and number 3 it added space battles. space battles were something that were not in the 1st game so they could also promote that easy. but like I said i like the first one best but I think they are both great and had this question as well.

it's actually the other way around. people like this game for a lot of reasons you can list, but you can easily look at it yourself and see why people like it better

I think you're right that the first game had a better feel to it.

Don't get me wrong, I adore the first Battlefront. But for me, I prefer Battlefront 2 because it simply runs better. I can't get the first Battlefront to run well on my PC.

It just feels more dated than Battlefront 2 and not the good kind of dated. With stuff like the remaster project, that further amplifies how dated the first Battlefront feels.

I'll give you that the gunplay feels way better in the first Battlefront though. I've always been pissed with how the developers nerfed the effectiveness of rocket launchers, grenades and vehicular cannons. They don't have the same "oof" feeling that they had in the first game and their splash damage is pitiful.

1st game had some really good maps and I liked the fact starfighters were on the maps but the 2nd game improved on damn near everything in my opinion

The gun play isn't bad compared to battlefront 1. The reason why people consider it superior is because of the all the ways it improved upon the original battlefront. The first game also felt like a beta and was lacking in content. Almost everything was improved in 2 though.

I think the AI was better in the first Battlefront though....or at least the vehicle AI was better. Much less randomly crashing into things when flying. But other than that, yeah Battlefront 2 pretty much improved on the first in nearly every way.

I don't like how explosives were nerfed though. I miss the old Battlefront where it was entirely viable to play as the heavy class because the rocket launchers did an insane amount of splash damage.

I think the heavy class is still viable. It's good against vehicles and enemies with low fire rate or heavy armor. The vehicles in battlefront 1 felt OP too.
