I want to learn more about the History of star wars battlefront. I would like to learn about how the players of star wars battlefront evolve over times. How the clans were formed and the History of the Clans. I would also like to learn about the way then game change.
I would also like to know about how Mods change and they helped the game. Also if I would like to learn about the Tournaments of star wars battlefront, like you won, who were the best.
Last I would like to know tips and stuff that would help the players in game.
Anything and all will help!
Please post if you have anything to contribute!
originally it was a mod for battlefield 1945(one of them anway) I think. Beleive it or not, a few of the modders would be hired to help make battlefront 1.
Edit: Actually this was mis-information. I had seen this video regarding histroy on the game and it wasn't exactly resaerched very well. At least now that I re-checked it and it doesnt give any reliable sources. For that I apoligize for posting this lol.

What? I've never heard that before. Here's a link to an interview with the guy that came up with the idea for SWBF http://gamesauce.org/news/2013/04/10/dc-universe-onlines-jens-andersen-on-working-with-big-ips-staying-connected-and-doing-what-you-love/?goback=.gde_62163_member_231234393 (http://gamesauce.org/news/2013/04/10/dc-universe-onlines-jens-andersen-on-working-with-big-ips-staying-connected-and-doing-what-you-love/?goback=.gde_62163_member_231234393).
Your in luck and because its the holidays I've resurfaced from retirement!
I am Red Leader... him of the {TL20} The Lost Twenty fame.
I got into Star Wars BattleFront fairly late on, perhaps about 2006/7. It was originally on the PS2 when I first started playing but I hated playing on consoles. I don't know what it was but I loved the game. Perhaps a few months afterwards I ended up with a broken foot, some time off work and ordered my first broadband connection.
I played BattleFront for a good while on the multiplayer and saw all these clans (no idea what they were at the time) and looked around for the one that interested me. To cut a long story short I was recruited into {JMS} by Najac and met other members such as Ric, Dark, Smallz, Soggy and a few others in the clan.
Turned out that the leader of {JMS} was MIA and the clan was lasting but for the good will of the members that were in it. Seeing the writing on the wall and talking over the options, Najac and myself decided to form {TL20} as a better organized and smaller clan limited to 20 people...more or less. Based on the missing number of Jedi in Star Wars...google it... Our forums (not the original ones unfortunately) are still up and running.
The clan lasted a good 2 years but it did have its ups and downs. Many a good laugh and precious moment was had. Something good in gaming that you don't get anymore. Gradually the members either left or went quiet. I myself left to enjoy life a little and relax. COD4 was also launched near that time and a good deal of people headed in that direction.
When I started playing BattleFront there were a good number of solid and established clans out there. They changed here and there...members moved from one clan to the next. It was different times and a close knit small community that most people were happy to help in order to keep it healthy.
I am though quite looking forward to more Star Wars BattleFront games but have my fingers crossed that EA/DICE don't balls it up!
I was watching this guy's video on the history of battlefront. looks like he gave mis-information then.
Maybe this is the kind of thing that Lead could tell us about...
Lead makes a reply with the BF history in it
Off Topic: Anyone watch the new RotS tonight
Yeah, the history of SWBF1 is our history, we are getting this game better everyday, we have online even Gamespy have turned off the servers, we are the real history, we are SWBF1, and this is amazing becouse we are helping us everyday. This is the real history of this magnific game.
<3 SWBF1
Hi Red Leader, glad you found our site!
As far as history goes, read through our forum posts and you can learn all kinds of history ;)
Got any links cause now im actually curious about BF's history
Hey Trooper X! I'm from the 2007-2009 era, specifically on the Mac. I'll give a brief history of what I remember at the least. A lot of archives were destroyed in the forum changes.
Back when the Mac community was actually active, it was all done on gameranger since gamespy wasn't in the Mac version of SWBF. There was no dedicated servers for gameranger so it was actually difficult to get games going unless someone had a really good internet connection.
The most popular games hosted was: cc no bots no cps. Some people didn't like it but it was the most popular for a reason. The stupid bots weren't on the map and cloud city was a great map even at small player counts. We all adhered to the rule of no capturing command posts. Instead of running around the map capturing them, we just focused on the deathmatch. In my opinion, it was far more fun than going on a bot hunt and running around re-capturing the same command posts. At night when a lot of players on, we would play a lot of custom maps. Maps ported from BF2 were the most popular. There were a whole lot of other maps we also played but I honestly can't remember any of their names. It's been that long since I have played. I still have a few of the Mac guys on steam so I'll probably ask them what were the maps we played.
So why didn't I transition to the PC community? Mainly because Led's cloud city server had people running around the map capturing CPs rather than people killing each other. It simply wasn't as fun to me.
About the forums:
This forum during my time used to be macxgamers, a website that attempted to be a website for mac gamers. A majority of the players were SWBF1 players since that's what the forum was before it was macxgamers. That website soon became mpcgamers, an attempt to have both mac and PC players. Then from there the community split into two. One was creativematrix.net, a website for artists. The other was swbfgamers, this website.
Creativematrix was shut down around 2 weeks ago due to inactivity. The community was all ex-swbf players. The activity on CM grew less and less over the course of 2 years simply because we've all moved on to different games and different activities. I largely moved on to competitive Street Fighter. w0rm is mostly a Starcraft player. Khyler transitioned to competitive Call of Duty but then altogether stopped playing games.
Notice how you don't recognize those names? Needless to say, the SWBF community has seen a complete change in members a few times. There's the occasional person that has stayed through the eras such as Led himself. The rest of us moved on to different games, including myself. Why would we move on to different games?To be frank, SWBF is a terribly old game that hasn't quite aged well. That's the only way I could put it.
I recently came out of inactivity to troll the massive amount of new players that sprung up in the 2010s. How SWBF got new members is beyond my comprehension. I can only give credit to Led for keeping this community together for so many years.
Add me on steam if you're curious. I can round up some of the OGs and we can all be nostalgic in one chat room. :P

Troll you say? Very well.
QuoteAdd me on steam if you're curious. I can round up some of the OGs and we can all be nostalgic in one chat room. :P
I would hardly call someone from 2007 an OG. The only person from 2004 that I know of that is still around is SirPimped.
I'm far from an OG, but I do have people from 05-07 on steam and otherwise.
However considering how it's almost 2014, I'd say 2007 is still old :P
Yeah it is. I only really got into the community in 2012. I enjoyed the people and modding more than I enjoyed the actual gameplay though.
Also.
Quote?To be frank, SWBF is a terribly old game that hasn't quite aged well. That's the only way I could put it.
The combat in SWBF actually has more depth to it than most MMS games do. It doesn't use hitscan weapons, has good dodging mechanics and a good variety of weapons. It's certainly better than COD and BF when it comes to combat. (Combat is only part of a game though, the team play in BF is a lot better than in SWBF. And COD is just stupid great fun in split-screen.) Just my opinion on it at least. The gameplay in it's entirety is old and dated, but some aspects still stand strong.
Yes, the dodging mechanics were the strongest part of the game. Mastering the movement and space control was a big part of what made SWBF still fun to play game after game.
Nice aeria, :cheer:

I guess the main reason I stopped playing was the collapse of the Mac community.
It was a good community, we had very little of the vicious arguments and trolling that plagues the PC side.
I'm kinda glad CM died, we had all moved on.
Unit, do you stop playing SWBF??

I haven't played in ages for reasons previously stated.
Ahh the memories. i remember when I started playing online (Mac, Gameranger) about a year after SWBF came out. My bad, I should have got on right away. There were a lot of players at the time; Weili, Tim, Scummies, Subcontractor, Analog, Ghost, 8:15, Hopko, Hairy Beast and Unit 33 to name a few. There would be 6 to 16 players easy per room/game, every evening. That was a lot for Mac. Before aeria gloris and the new generation came around we would play all maps as intended; kill enemy and capture CPs. The more maps we got through the more fun we had. CC no CPs no jets soon got boring the way the new guys played it. If I could I would be playing online now, but the Mac side is dead. I am retired to DLing and playing all the cool customs the guys make available here. Keep up the good work. And as appropriate, all hail Buckler for keeping this community alive.
SchTick is alive!
Just looking at my inactive Game Ranger contact list summarises the amount of departed Mac lads and lassies out there… :'(

This is exactly what I mean. There was a completely different generation before mine came in, a new generation right after mine, and then you guys. I look at the recent posts in this forum and it's completely different people once again. Those names Schtick mentioned I only recall hearing. I've never seen them in-game consistently.
My generation said screw everything we're playing cc no bots no cps. It was mainly because getting 8 people in a lobby was tough enough.
ACW, IAS, BHF, and VS were probably the big Mac clans. ACW was probably the most successful. BHF was the most casual.
Someone from ACW/IAS could tell you better about their rivalry.
/\ was Pants. Pants had a lot of members and they never considered a clan, merely a bunch of players who wanted to play the game for fun. They also only referred to themselves but the first letter of their alias. With that said, I can't remember their names at all. All I do remember is that they were an awesome group of guys who always hosted custom map servers.
EDIT: Oh yeah Unit is right, the Mac community had its share of immaturity but it has never reached the levels of the PC community. You guys need to wake up and realize that the PC community is standing on its last legs, there's no need for the drama. Just learn to appreciate how close the community is and remember why you're playing the game in the first place -- to have fun.

I am from 2004 you can ask darth mullet about that haha I got the game the first day it came out because my friend told me about how he read about it in a magazine or some thing and we noticed the release date was the day he showed me haha so I had my mother drive me down to target late at night to get it :3
My friend Sonic has been around since 2004.
Gamertag Towellie on YouTube has played the game since 2004 I think. He just made a new video! http://www.youtube.com/user/GamertagTOWELLIE

Bump, because I'm nostalgic and what not.
Holy crap you're alive and kicking Aeria. Aeria and I were the first people to port SWBF II to Mac using Wine and Cider, but that's a different story for a different time. I wonder if the how to is still around somewhere. I remember my old little white macbook from 2007 could barely run the ported program. I think I have it somewhere on an external hard drive if anyone is really interested.
EDIT: Here's a little video of the SWBF II port. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y6FFaHDc58&list=UUxoKFhmgOwUngnraP_CIvDQ&index=2
I came around in 2007ish and just started playing with Minor Fawn who directed me to MacXgamers and it became kind of my second home. I joined IAS which fell apart pretty quickly afterwards, as did the clan scene compared to the older days.
I recognize a few people on this forum from old days but it looks like a lot of people have moved on in life. I did for a while starting in 2009. I played constantly from 2007 - 2009 then got busy with life and haven't had much time to play much. I find myself dying to play multiplayer right now. I don't care if it's a one on one duel, I will play you.
There was a time where we held monthly tournaments for individual people. A good tournament would grab 10 - 12 people but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. IAS and other clans started to die down, it became harder to schedule tournaments and clan matches that people would actually show up to. A lot of this community just grew up to be honest. I admire the older guys who can balance their families, jobs, lives, and playing a little SWBF here and there.
There is a whole different side to the history of SWBF with version 1.0. If anyone remembers Yankee, he played with VS on 1.0. They had their own clans and everything. This forum isn't a complete history of SWBF, but it's a nice little piece of it. There were / are so many other forums and communities that made up SWBF. I wish I could tell you what they were but I mostly just stuck around this community as it evolved. I'm honestly surprised to see this community is still chugging along. I figured it would die out but god bless the newcomers.
Where in the world did you newcomers (2010-present) get this game? I bought mine at the Apple store because it looked "cool." Then again, any FPS looks cool to a 7th grader.

Well, I got my game from a Walmart for $7-10 I believe. Plus, I had just turned 13, leagal age to play a T-rated game, and I had wanted it for a very long time, ever since one of my friends showed it to me.
Anyways, I guess I'd better jot something down here too:
I got SWBF back in 2009, however I spent the whole year playing singleplayer. Eventually, one fateful day in August 2010, I decided to go onto multiplayer, and made a lot of good friends for a while. I made friends with people in OFSR, DX, Wusi, and a few other friends I've long forgotten. In October, I made my first clan, known as TGM (The Glitch Mafia/The Grand Mercenaries). The clan itself ran for 2 years (2010-2012), despite me and usually 1-2 other people being my members. (Nobody really stayed for long in TGM.) In January 2012, after much internal affairs, I decided to close down TGM, as at that time my buddy Shazam and I had made AoT (Army of Two). It lasted for a while, until we eventually went our own ways clan-wise. In June of that year I joined Alpha Clan, started off as a Sergeant. I have served my time as a General within the clan already, and currently reside as one of it's many Veterans.
That's just the brief version, if you want the full story you can check my bio on AoT's website: http://aotswbf.webs.com/aboutus.htm
As far as the community goes, I guess you could say I caught the last chapter of it's history. Wished I'd joined sooner, who knows what I may have encountered back then? Even so, I'm glad I joined when I did anyway, otherwise I wouldn't have made friends with the people I did. :)
Well I first got BF1 about 3 or 4 years back in the Greatest Hits of PC pack at Target. I mostly played singleplayer and finally got into one multiplayer game and that was the only game I played for a while... I had eventually uninstall BF1 off my old laptop cause of it's crappyness. When I decided to reinstall I lost the code for it so I got another game pack with BF1 and still just played singleplayer and again I uninstalled it due to my crappy old laptop. When I finally got my new laptop I decided to install BF1 and like before I lost the code, so I went to Toys R Us cause they had really great prices on jewel case Star Wars games (They don't anymore) so then I played in the last few months of BF1, and when GameSpy shut down I just only played a little of BF2, that lasted for about half a year before I found out about Tunngle on the site, and a few months later I joined the site.
I recieved it for christmas one year, and mabye 3 months later i began playing online. Not long after i got bored and uninstalled. 7-8 months later i started playing again, and ended up join swbfgamers here.
I got the game back in 2006, and played 1.0 for about a year. I didn't know there was a 1.2 at the time, but even then I wouldn't have cared. I played with many different people when I could. I joined my first clan {DX} (not at all related to the new clan that popped up before Gamespy went down) and rose the ranks there. I decided I was better (a little overconfident, maybe...) and started my own clan. Because I had dialup (and still do), I could not host servers, and I only ever got a couple people to join the clan. I stopped in 2007 due to having so much other stuff in life and my clan had failed miserably.
Fast forward to 2009. We get a new computer, I pick up the game again and go "Wonder if anyone still plays online?" Yep, they do. And there's this guy Bobby with this clan of like 50 people running around, with some other clans like [NJ] and (the clan I eventually joined) {WAR}. The clan was very skilled, but inconsistent at arriving to stuff. I played in what was supposed to be an official battle with BOB, and I was the only one who showed up vs about 10 BOBs. It ended up being a fun game with a couple BOBs with me vs the rest of BOB, and I made new friends. Sadly, about 3-4 months after I joined, the whole {WAR} clan left, leaving me. So I joined BOB in February 2010 and they let me come in. In August they needed a temporary leader (I had risen the ranks quite fast) and I was appointed and the job stuck. I'm still there today. I didn't even test the waters of 1.2 until about late 2011, and would play there once in a while to get better when 1.0 was a little slow.
Ok, I've droned on for too long.
P.S. I asked Led to bring SWBFgamers to 1.0 before Gamespy went down about 8 months later. It was awesome to have 24 hours servers which I hadn't seen since like... 2007.
Me and my father picked up the game for the PS2 around 2005ish and almost immediately became obsessed with it, I got SWBF2 about a year after. I played it almost every day. I liked SWBF2 better in those days. After seeing all the cool mods for SWBF2 on the internet, I got the PC version of both games at around 2010, and fell in love with the conversion pack. When I lost my copy of BF2 a few months later, I began appreciating BF1 a lot more, especially when I got the Main Play Mod. Now I love both games equally. The convo pack and MPM 6 (both of which I still play to this day) inspired me to make my own mods, which eventually led me Gametoast and this site (in which I was able to find all the amazing mods you can't find on FileFront!) . Though I didn't start any serious modding until late 2012 (earlier I was more into modding Empire At War, but that's another story). And in early 2014 I started my first big project for BF1.
Hello all,

Playing swbf1 with those guys (and all of you old time players) were some of the most enjoyable times playing video games that ive ever had. I miss those times. Playing games online today have no comparison to back then.

Hi SubContractor--Buckler here. Good to see you find us.
Ryan, Areia (Thomas) and Schtick stop by every once in a while, and we managed to keep Unit 33 here somehow ;)
I hope all is well!
Things haven't been the same since Gamespy got shut down (no DC's) but maybe some day we can find a way...
Hey there everyone. first time poster, but i lurked this site quite some time. So here is my version of how i experienced swbf.( I started playing online around october 2009 and I´m european)
So i started playing 1.2 online on public servers hosted in europe, like OOC Arena, Ententeich or CloudCity GCW only. I played some times willing to join a clan but i didn´t found one suiting me.
There were many big clans like EnTen, UEF, ILL, and all the other former ESL league clans. But their Members switched to swbf2 more and more, so they became less of an influence. Eventually i found a Clan called 21st Century, a group of German based players without any experience. In the beginning everyone could join and our Member list grew to around 35+. After that our Leaders FuriousBastard, Metalkiller and BloodyMisery started restructuring. Members got kicked and all Ranks besides Leader/CoLeader and Member were "deleted", so basically everyone was equal. We started training and got our own Server. We played many Wars against Clans like: [OOC], =|.T.L|=, EnTen, [TWA] -=NE=-, PRO, -={NO}=-,TnR, God´z Un!t, BW and many more. in the beginning we lost some but later we got a score around 50+ wins and only 7 losses. We played A team against B team and had our own Clan Design. Over the time the Clan Tags changed a bit and wen´t from 21st´CenturY over '21st Cen¯I¯urY ( for the longest part) to 21| . Some players started playing CoD BlackOps when it came out which caused a crysis. The other Members kept playing but since Battlefront became more and more inactive and we got less aktive Members the Clan shrinked. At one Point i stopped playing swbf1 to go to swbf2 and play in the ESL, i made a break from that and joinend 212, which was big and friendly community :) I started ranking up in a few weeks by bypassing certain ranks until i became General. After that i was promoted to become Advisor, but RealLife kept me from playing, until i saw an skype friend request from Mart, which "forced" me to install and play again! so here i am again :D lagging and shooting people in their heads :)
This is my Battlefront Story :) 3.5 Years full of joy, I am looking at with tears in my eyes :(
Sub, I too miss those days. /T\

Unfortunately, I don't think Gamemaster supports DCs... but there are ways to run SWBF on a Mac using Wine:
http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=5450.0
and then you can join the PC servers.
Hey...that profile image looks familiar.
I started playing 1.0 on the xbox. I wasn't introduced to it, I just walked into my parents' bedroom to get something and found it. And thus began my fall to Star Wars. I have no regrets.
I played solo and sometimes played with my father. My play-style was kill everything and his was capture all command posts. So naturally I eventually surpassed him and then he got too busy to play anymore. Sometimes my best friend and I would play together on the xbox. We played on Platforms a lot and always shouted "sniper!" or "droideka!" to one another.
Later on I found out another friend of mine had the pc version and he let me borrow it. I eventually got my own copy and then ran into Snake not too long after. The rest...is history.

originally it was a mod for battlefield 1945(one of them anway) I think. Beleive it or not, a few of the modders would be hired to help make battlefront 1.
Edit: Actually this was mis-information. I had seen this video regarding histroy on the game and it wasn't exactly resaerched very well. At least now that I re-checked it and it doesnt give any reliable sources. For that I apoligize for posting this lol.
Battlefield 1942, and there was a mod called Galactic Conquest; but nothing from Battlefront ever came from Galactic Conquest.
I don't know where you got your info, but I still run a group that plays GC (along with some of the devs of the mod) and you're wayyyyyy off.

Unfortunately, I don't think Gamemaster supports DCs... but there are ways to run SWBF on a Mac using Wine:

and then you can join the PC servers.
I bought I PC copy today off eBay. Ill figure it out once it arrives, and hit you up with any questions. Look forward to seeing SWBF on my main mac again.
Thanks!
I'm not an oldie with the PC version as some of you are (though I did first have the game on PS2 in 2004). I just enjoy playing this game and modding is fascinating to me.
Im back in the game.
Im relighting the Pants beacon!

Good to see some of the other Mac players are alive.
