Finally! My chance to be top 100 in the world at something!
- You're top 100 in my heart. ❤️
  
  Ha gaaaayyyyyyy
There is a SW Battlefront that is a month old?
- They remastered the 2004/2005 Pandemic ones and apparently did a fucking terrible job of it
  
  Did they really? I just looked it up and it looks exactly the same... It seems like it's just a rerelease but like why? Weren't there still people playing the original battlefront 2 with mods and shit?
Thats pretty brutal.
~~Does anyone know why this is?~~
Edit: Never mind. From the article...
has been met with poor reviews due to its price and performance. As a result, the FPS game’s player count is dwindling quickly, now dipping below 100 Steam users.

- It was a horrid mess of a lazy release, also stole content from modders.
  I’m sure they’ll use this to say people don’t want to buy old games rather than admit they did a shit job and wanted to make bank for it.
  The Darkforces remaster looks to be amazing though. I’ll be picking that up at some stage, can’t justify a $43 price tag for a 30 year old title so I’ll wait for a sale.
  
  also stole content from modders.
  That's not cool at all.
  Edit: Do people actually feel that it's okay for a company to steal content from the modders?

- Poor performance? It's a PS2 Game, how can it have poor performance.
  
  The net code is really bad. You see opponents teleport all over the place making the act of aiming and shooting, unfun.
- I didn't even know this was out, so lack of marketing may be an issue as well.
What the hell it's been a month??
- Felt like close to 20 years to me...
Just like the simulations
I just want to play Galactic Conquest via LAN or online.
