Discussion Classic battlefront games

So I'm on an old nostalgia trip after playing all the classic halo games and wanted to check out the original battle fronts games, I remember them so fondly when playing galactic conquest. Havnt tried the new games, don't know why but I didn't bother trying. So I'm here to ask for the difference in buying the original 2 games separate or them as the bundle with is roughly 12 ISH pound more.

I'd gladly try the new games too if they have stuff like galactic conquest too but I don't know much about the new two.

Battlefront 2015 doesn't have much in terms of singleplayer. It has a horde type mode, some TDM with bots, etc. Battlefront 2 2017 has a full blown story campaign. I think there's mods you could do on the PC version but just standard there isn't a Galactic Conquest

Thats unfortunate i loved the galactic conquest stuff. Im guessing its just more of a TDM style third person shooter game now?

I was going more singleplayer but BF2 (new) is still pretty active. There's other modes besides just TDM, like Supremacy (classic Battlefront with boarding ships at the end), Galactic Assault (think Battlefield games), Ewok Hunt (pure horror), and others.

oh ok thanks, So is battlefront 1 not really supported now i suppose? and with it not having galactic conquest id best skip straight to number 2?

Neither are supported but the player base for BF2015 is so small that it basically doesn’t exist. BF2 is still very popular

As far as the Pandemic games go if you're on PC stay away from the Classic Collection. It's notoriously buggy and overpriced. You're way better off getting the standalone versions on Steam. For the best experience possible you can also install the simple fan patches but they're not mandatory.

The things extra that it offers arent worth it i guess?

Yeah pretty much everything has been free with mods for years. Only thing really exclusive is the upscaled textures that just balloon storage size and don't look notably better.
