Summary
AStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionplayer has noticed a cool detail about mods that could extend the game’s lifespan massively. The recentStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionreceived a lot of flak upon its release, but this one detail is definitely a huge positive.
In the wake of its release, theStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionhas caused quite a stir in the gaming community. After initially launching with just three 64-player servers to serve an estimated 10,000 players, among a myriad of other problems,Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionwas review-bombed on Steam, giving the game a “Mostly Negative” rating. Given how much nostalgia players have for these games, it was a surprise that developer Aspyr had managed to draw such ire with this release. However, one feature may help keep the game active in the long run.
Reddtior faquanni noticed that mods created for the originalStar Wars: Battlefront 2still work as usual when dropped into the game’s Addons folder. This allows players to look through two decades of modding work, and bring their favorites into the modern collection without needing to be remade or ported. It also seems as though the mods are affected by the new and improved lighting changes, meaning they look better than ever. While there are plenty of greatmods for EA’s newerStar Wars Battlefront 2, this discovery could definitely make it worth looking back at the classics.
Old Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Mods Work in the Classic Collection
Mods in this collection have been at the center of some controversy. After the first trailers appeared for the game, it appeared as though theStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionwas using a fan-made modwithout credit. Developer Aspyr dismissed this as a mistake in the trailer footage, although it appears that some unpatched versions of the game may still be using it at the moment. It’s possible it was used for testing and intended for removal before release, and may have unfortunately slipped the net as the game’s release date drew closer. Whether more will eventually come of this remains to be seen.
After Aspyrcommented on theStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionlaunch issues, gamers can only hope that the studio is able to bring the game up to the standard expected pre-release. It may prove to be just launch period hiccups, with the experience slowly improving as the servers aren’t constantly overloaded by players. Both of the originalStar Wars: Battlefrontgames are some of the most nostalgic titles ever for many gamers, and they deserve a fitting modern re-release to match their incredible legacies.
