I've done something very bad and ordered battlefront 2, I know that is treachery. :)
I've actually had it on PS2 for 6 or 7 years and don't like it as much as number 1 but it's still quite a good game so I thought I would try it online to see what it was like so, as I know a few people around here play it, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on good servers, mods, websites etc. Is glitching a problem or any mods like radar? Who around here plays? I know most things about the units and that gametoast is the main site but any other help would be appreciated so I can enjoy it straight away. :)
Oh, and I'm not leaving battlefront 1 completely. :)
Alright, now to show what I know about SWBF2:
-Hero class is nooby, alot of people will be on the Mos Eisley maps with Assaut on, which means there's all heroes. It's a good skill though to have, don't get me wrong, it's fun being a Jedi or Sith, but in Conquest it is just wayyy too overpowered.
-To start off skill-wise, most are engineer, since the shotguns are more effective on SWBF2. I will say this though, knowing how to use the detpacks effectively is tricky. Sometimes I end up blowing myself up when throwing them.
-Rocket class has a super slow reload time, unless your good with using a pistol, I would not recommend being this class online.
-Sniper has no reticule unless you zoom, if you are good at sniping in SWBF1, YOU WILL HAVE A BAD TIME!
The special classes are many, and take points to unlock, the point system is usually 4 points for a good special class, 8 for a really good one. But it varies with faction, most are around 6-12 points to unlock.
Now if you already know that, then onto clans:
- (SWGO) [has website] (aka, Star Wars Gaming Order) is your server-monger clan on SWBF2, they host alot, and have alot of members. Most of them are pretty nooby, so watch out for unsuspected detpacks or suprise bothan spies.
- [E.A.] [has website] (Eternal Alliance) is a large clan too, though they mostly hang on their own duels server.
- {LR} [has website] (Lights Reflection) is also large, and mostly hang on their own dueling server.
- (JOG) [no known website] (I don't know what it stands for) is also a good sized clan, though I don't know them well.
- [$$$] [no known website] (Money Clan) is a new one, but they have alot of members.
Serverwise:
-SWGO will have alot of noobs on their servers.
-E.A. has strict rules for their automated admin, so you cannot play there unless there's more than yourself there.
-LR isn't too bad, their server is pretty good if you want to learn to battle with the hero classes.
-JOG and [$$$] I still don't know.
I'm mostly on the Hypernia BattleGrinder3 server, but sometimes I will also be on LR.
As far as hacks, no radar (from what I can tell), the only thing hack-wise is just players who will boot or literally hack you. Sometimes though the unofficial v1.3 patch is considered a hack.
Almost no glitchers, from my experience.
As far as mods go, I would list a dozen modmaps, but I'm getting short on time. The unofficial v1.3 mod or the fake console mod are pretty big though.
I remember Wicket now on 212 that was or is in IJO maybe you should ask him for more info
I play with UEF guys, tuW, ixp. , ECE, waYne, Enten, ...
And none of us think special units are nooby.
What we say is nooby is:
Open crossbow (with the wookiee) spam, killing urself by putting a mine to an enemy or throwing a pack, taking jedi's, ...

Nah, he will try it and see why none of us play it :P
I think online play on 2 is worse than 1 by a long shot, but singleplayer is better on 2, especially with the mods. Basically, once you have the hang of the shipped game, go to filefront and download the top 10-15 items, you'll be in for a treat.
Thanks all, especially goldman, we all now I'll come back to SWBF1. :)
I think that SWBFII is waaay more fun on the PS2 than the PC. I don't know why, but it just is more fun. Nothing compared to the fun of SWBFI though.
I agree with Kit. Waaay more fun. Dont know why. I especially enjoy the international glitching server its official ;). But still doesn't top this game
I don't know why either...
Maybe the AI behavior is different.
I actually like SWBFI on the PS2 better than on the computer!

Phew! I thought I was going to be the "odd one out." I can't put my finger on why I feel it's better though...
Help me out Tirpider! :happy:

these guys are horrible, and quite annoying, but can get you banned, so watch out.

Yeah, you'll love fake council it's awesome.
We should make a SWBFII SWBFGamers clan.

I should have been more specific when I typed that. I meant the Jedi and Sith heroes, every other class is effective, but they are also easy to kill with a land-mine, det-pack, rocket, etc. The Jedi and Sith heroes though are wayyy too overpowered on Conquest, since so many people use the Force, it's nearly impossible to take on a Jedi or Sith without at least another guy hepling. Since the Jedi and Sith have Force Push, Pull, Choke, and Lightning, it is super-hard to kill those guys unless you're the bait and someone else gets the kill. :P

True,i basically have SWBFII to play mods on singleplayer,there are some awesome mod maps for it.Oh,and to play in space maps :P
Check Moddb,Filefront,Gametoast sites for nice mods

Are there any space maps in swbf1?
Ya,there are some space mod maps but they are hard to find.Btw,i was talking about SWBF2 not SWBF1
Well I've tried it and the first I've realised is that the default for servers seems to be teamkill on....
(SWGO) Jedi Battle Arena, is the best server and (SWGO) NYC, is good

Perhaps I should've added that earlier, most servers will have TK on, apparently it is the "way of the pro" on SWBF2. :P

Probably because it is extremely easy to detpack someone or lay a mine on them when they are right next to you. With TK on it prevents that stuff.

Most likely. I know once I was on Polis Massa on a public server, and some dude was Darth Maul. I was engineer, so I planned to throw a detpack, but I accidentally ended up pressing the detonator too soon, so I blew myself up, without hitting him. :P
Now that I think of it, I think I did hit him, but only a little, and I think I took out a teammate in the process. :P

Smooth :P It was used in TWA on battlefront 1 and people that played there were usually some or near the best in swbf. SO maybe its the same :)
I don't mind teamkill when I start to get used to it but half the chat on BF2 (which is is annoyingly in the same place as who killed who) is people apologising to each other. :) I just need to remember not every game can be as perfect as battlefront 1....

Yeah, the team chat also seems to look like the same colour as the regular chat. I do hate though that the teamchat is mixed with the kill chat, so stupid. Truthfully, never really looked at the chat and saw it was mostly apologizing. :P

I believe you can change that if you mod the core.lvl (correct me if I'm wrong)

I don't have any skill of any modding, other than installing mods. If you do happen to have the ability to make an MP-compatible core.lvl mod for SWBF2, please upload it here, I would love for that to happen.

upload the tool, or the mod?
Preferably the mod, I have zero skill in using mod tools. :XD:
I played swbf2 twice online. The first time it was swell, only one jedi and no one called me a noob, even though I was, the 2nd time I went to an only Jedi server...it was not fun at all, never been so clueless in my life, basically ive only played swbf2 about 12min, i went to play swbf1 after that, idc how many more people were on swbf2 because i perfer swbf style :P, and tk is fun, elite wouldn't be able to kill me by mine throw :P
Just wanted to make some pointers on the Clans.
- SWGO (Fullest and most popular server, however is actually weak now as a community and has lost a lot of inter-organization support.) - www.swgohome.com
- ~SITH EMPIRE~ ( Most active and without a doubt strongest guild. It is an RPG- Based guild that is focused around hero assault training, no-force dueling. Severs are up in the evenings and are not 24/7, many people just come for the hero assault training and return to normal servers.) - www.darksithempire.shivtr.com
- Shadow Rogue ( Elite and best gunning clan, however members dont wear tags and tend to be trolls.)
- New Republic ( Friendlier version of Shadow Rouge.)
- Free Gamers Rebellion ( A RPG-Based gunnes clan that bans "pro-tactics". Is known for it's rivalry against ~SITH EMPIRE~.)
- Eternal Alliance (E.A, is the most common Mos Eisley normal dueling server. Is known for it's alliance to ~SITH EMPIRE~ which made it larger.
- {JOG} (A hero assault force clan that is a huge rivalry to the ~SITH EMPIRE~, but is less popular due to it's use of Force when playing.)
As for LR, it pretty much is inactive cept for a few members (E.A and Sith Empire wiped them out)
$$$ is pretty inactive, just as several dedicated members left. Also it isnt new, its one of the oldest clans in the game. )
We have plenty of capacity to support a SWBFgamers.com SWBF2 server (likely out of Atlanta). If there is a need for such a server, let me know.

It would be cool if you could somehow get the SWBFI sides on using a server side mod...

How about you make a post with your favorite SWBF2 servers, and not try to take away from his post?
