I played a few games last night on the ps5 and I experienced about 3-5 crashes and some rubber banding/lag but I wouldn't say it was catastrophic. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I've play a lot online last night on Switch, no crash, good ping. Really surprise.

Edit: I've start Conquest mode on battlefront 1, should i play the second? Is it better? I don't think i'll play both.

Sas that Battlefront 2 have not third person view.

I can't find any button to choose third person camera in BF2. How is it?

The third person view is a toggle in the options, not a button like 1.

It's a shame to see the launch go so badly. I thought this game would have had the perfect amount of nostalgia to do really well, but I suppose it's all gone horribly wrong.

Haven't tried online yet but played some offline on Switch and had a blast.

I can't boot up right now. Does anyone remember if you can recruit someone to follow you immediately when you play? I know you can recruit larger team over time but I don't remember if you can recruit a person immediately at the lowest rank in BF2

Guess it's more persona, dragons dogma and unicorn overlord then lol. Haha thanks!
Yeah I wouldn't be this pissed if it wasn't for Sony's draconian refund policy (there isn't one). So I'm saddled with this 72GB game. If it was 7GB I'd at least leave it on my SSD for the single player. But it's hilariously massive for a broken port of decades-old games.

So reading impressions here and on reddit the game seems to have a ton of issues. How the hell did it score so well in professional reviews? It`s a real bummer. The two games are a ton of fun and desrve a good updated version.

They did the thing where they rush to press time and don't actually review multiplayer. It's borderline negligence I tell ya.

I've played a bunch of Galactic Conquest on Switch in handheld and have had zero issues to date. Here's hoping it stays that way!

How is the Xbox version? My work colleague keeps insisting it works perfectly for him

You can customize the controls easily. The default setting is already custom. Just swap one of the buttons for 1st 3rd person view. I chose tactical commands to swap with.
Thanks for telling, I haven't looked deeply into the settings, but I'll do.

That said, I have played a couple instant action matches on BF1 and in one of the matches my army just stood there without engaging the enemy or conquering command posts. I was playing on Kashyyyk docks and my soldiers were just standing against the walls. It was weird but even if I played it a ton back in its time, I can't remember if the same thing happened on the original game or if its something new.

Both of those are patched now. Try and manually update.
Just tried to manually update both systems - neither had an update available. PS5 version is still at 1.002.000 (same as day 1 version) and Switch is still at 1.0.1 (also same as day 1 version). For both, this is the day 1 patch version that pulled unauthorised mod content and pulled Invert-Y controller options.

Their concurrent dropped off a cliff. Man it makes me so mad, they were set up for a freaking homerun and dropped the ball so hard.

Gonna say it, but honestly I wish EA still held the license cause seeing shit like this done to the games is ridiculous, and a disgrace to the franchise and name tbh.

I gotta imagine EA's with its recent nostalgia release bender on PC is looking at both the excitement and incredible disappointment of this broken Battlefront release. Then look over at the Refractor era Battlefields and go "hey... crazy idea here".

I laugh at the memes from announcement talking about how good this was going to be compared to the EA versions.

EA is one of the worst things to ever happen to Star Wars video games.
2 good jedi games don't redeem those years of them siting on the license or making bad Battlefront games

Won't be touching this until they fix it. I was very much looking forward to playing these again.

Still getting crashes every time I try to start the Rhen Var mission. And that's that, I guess.

Requested a refund. Definitely disappointed I can't even finish the campaign.

The recent BF 1 and 2 were fine?
What is it with this history rewriting fad?
Agree. From a gameplay perspective, they were on point.

Though I have to admit, the little content in BF1, loot box controversy in BF2, overall progression, and lack of vehicles on the battlefield tainted the EA games.

Can someone tell me what the actual fuck is going on with these controls on console? Sensitivity on BF1 is ultra high even on 1/10 setting, just massively fast.

Sensitivity on BF 2 is extremely awkward cause even if you set it on 10/10, the acceleration here is EXTREMELY slow and only goes faster after the first 2 seconds of moving in one direction.
It is batshit insane bad in both games in completely different ways, like what the hell is this? I don't remember the originals being like this at all.

Anyone with good tips here? It's un-f'n-controllable.

I have to say, EA BF1 was a whole lot of fun. I didn't jump into EA BF2 until after the loot crate controversy but progression in that game just stunk.

But yeah, this classic release should have been a slam dunk. Waiting to see if it gets fixed properly...
