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. :)
I play less now but I'll always be around, lets keep this site and battlefront going. :)

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, ...

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

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:

Yeah, you'll love fake council it's awesome.

We should make a SWBFII SWBFGamers clan.
