Title: Is Star Wars Battlefront II still alive?
Post by: jomni on May 03, 2013, 08:23:41 AM
I really like this game when it was in the PS2.  Now that Steam has it on sale for just $3.39, does it still have an active community?

I dunno, but for $3.00, I bought it too.

I'm in.  Could this be the next Grogheads Left 4 Dead 2?

What kind of game is it? I miss the L4D2 days.

They actually ran out of keys so might be a few days until anyone can play.

Yeah I saw that.  It's ok, I can wait.

@Gus, it's like a typical first person shooter set in the Star Wars universe.  I only played Battlefront 1 and it's fun enough if you just want to run around shooting rebels and/or Stormtroopers, with lasers that go "pew!  pew!". 

For $3 I don't see how you can go wrong.  We get a little Grogheads servers set up for Friday nights...a little tequila...oh yeah!

Battlefront II is way better than Battlefront I since you also now have space battles where you can fly the fighters and can board capital ships to sabotage critical components.

Fine, ya arm-twisting bastards!

Hopefully there isn't much of a wait for keys...

When I checked Steam yesterday there was about 17 hours left...I must have missed the sale by now. I would guess the game is still relatively inexpensive still...have to check when i get home. I played Republic Commando back when it was new and enjoyed it a lot.

Count me in - picked it up ages ago and never got around to trying it but sounds like fun. Use the Force Gus!

Reports are stating keys will be released tomorrow (5/7).......hopefully true.

Well got my key today, but when I try to jump into a game, it crashes to desktop:(

Good news : Keys are in! Loaded up fine for me.

Bad News : It uses GameSpy. GameSpy doesn't exist anymore. So I suspect MP is toast.

For those that have windows 7 or 8, here is the fix for crashing.  Got it from steam forums....crazy issue with audio for some reason.

Fix for Windows 7 (just tested it):

1.   Right click on the sound icon in the bottom right corner of the screen
2.   Click on recording devices.
3. Right click and tick Show Disabled Devices.
4.   Enable stereo mix
5. Play

Did the trick for me.

Well I've played against bots in the PS2 and it was still enjoyable.  But was hoping to do some multilayer.
