STAR WARS Battlefront II: Celebration Edition Announced (Unlocks most cosmetics, Sith Troopers, Playable BB8 soon)
- Thread starter Fj0823
- Start date
I hope they play the Kool & the gang song if they're doing an announcement trailer of this edition.
Them bundling this as a new edition and SKU makes sense; it's just the current game but with everything unlocked.
For the record as someone who has played a lot of this game off and on, I've unlocked everything possible without spending a dime, and I'm sitting on more than enough credits to buy all the skins in the update this week plus whatever is hitting on the 20th (which coincides with this release as well).

You know what? I own the base game but I'm buying this anyway! I haven't played enough to unlock much of anything (really it's just lack of time for me), so this plus Star Wars TROS hype makes me want to get it! :D
I really hope we get new heroes eventually though afterwards. Especially since Ahsoka and Padme were teased through voice line leaks I believe.

I looked it up. It's called Custom Arcade and it even allows for couch co-op.
this games pretty decent now. My biggest qualms now....are that its just so heavy on the Prequel stuff. None of the cool modes have the original star wars content.
So if u just wanna be Darth Maul, Ewan Mcgregor and company. Ull love it. But if u want the other eras...u gotta play the boring modes

You don't need to buy it unless you want all the skins and stuff.
The new troopers and planets will be added for free to the base game
Yes.
Oh yeah I know. I do want the skins and stuff lol. Plus I like what they've done to the game so I wanna give thanks in a weird way haha!

You get the troopers, the planet, the game modes, etc.
The skins, ability upgrades and the like you need to play and unlock them (Which is quite easy now), or use MTX
There's a separate item to purchase if you already own the game
This game is terrific, I love the online co-op mode. It's a great power fantasy mode and the matches last just long enough. You also can level up in the mode for those who are adverse to competitive multiplayer. I'll be buying this for all the unlocks and to support DICE for all the work they've done to this game.
Is the offline splitscreen couch co-op mode as good as the 1st Battlefront's game?
Does it have the Hero battles, bot maps, dogfighting maps, wave battles and all that?

I watch multiple Battlefront 2 PC streamers, and the PC version is absolutely rotten with cheaters. You can find videos and clips of the exact same cheaters from launch still doing it, DICE does absolutely nothing about it, it's a huge complaint. I watch Whaddaweirdo and in a 4 hour stream he'll run into 6-8+ very obvious cheaters in GA. Normally I'm all for crossplay, but not in this case, at least not unless DICE gets their shit together (which seems unlikely, I hear BFV has similar issues and has for a long time).
Eh, that sucks.
My kid and I play SW:BF1's offline splitscreen modes all the time still.
In fact, that's all we play. Don't care about the online modes. It's more fun to play offline at our own pace with/against the bots.
Oh well.
At the very least implement a server browser. Game is a wasteland on PC for anyone outside the US.
Any guesses on what the price might be on this? Might be what makes me finally jump into this game. Jedi Fallen is leaving me wanting more SW games.
Can't wait for the new content update. I think the game is sooo good despite me exclusively playing Heroes vs Villains. That's how a game should be supported... and it's all for free for existing players too. I certainly won't complain.
I wonder with new TROS content, the Resistance Era will finally have Bomber ships lol
Yep. The trailers showed that they were using Y-wings so they can add those in.
So is it true that this game has been immensely improved from the disastrous launch?
How's the playerbase?

Out of curiosity what do you mean specifically? Every unit can level up to level 1000 (although their soft cap when they stop earning new cards or credits is 30-70 depending on the unit), there's in-game milestones for doing specific types of things, and each class has the weapons and weapon mods to unlock. Most of that is fairly barebones/straightforward though, do you mean something Modern Warfare's blueprint challenges?
The game's been in a pretty good place for a long time now. Long time players definitely have some specific complaints (lack of new weapons, some balance/bug issues, new content has been almost entirely PT focused) but it's been worth it for well over a year now.
If this gives all unlockables in online, what is the incentive to keep playing online? It'd be like an Overwatch release that includes every loot-box reward. I assume the only sense of progression online is the loot boxes, and what unlocks (I've never played this). I hope I'm wrong.
Regarding new vehicles, I really hope we get the new First Order Treadspeeders . If Criterion could nail the handling...
Yes, BF2 does have split screen. I believe you have to select solo mode (oddly enough) and then you will see options for local multiplayer.
This likely is only giving you all of the *cosmetics*. Each class still has to level to unlock/upgrade all of your abilities/weapons/etc. Also they've been pretty adamant that they were supporting the game in 2020, which makes much more sense now with the news of this release.

Yeah, I suppose they will now move Capital Supremacy with the OT and ST
Keep adding more cosmetics but they haven't added a single new blaster or gadget since launch. There are 24 blasters locked up as underpowered faction-locked weapons that could be turned into actual weapons.
The P2W/lootbox stuff was pulled out prior to launch actually, although to be fair if you bought the super fancy edition that got you early access it was in that one for like, 2 days.
Even 2 years later I still thoroughly enjoy these super hot takes. The game deserved all the shit it got at launch, but this ain't it chief.
Does this mean you get access to all of the heroes/villains? Or do you still have to grind for the post launch ones?
I didn't realize that people from 2017 could post 2 years into the future.
They removed any credit/unlock requirements for heroes quite a while ago.
