I used to play Battlefront all the time but I never played online. Absolutely loved the game and kept coming back even after I got new games...and systems :)

I had recently popped it back into my 360 to play a bit. However my DLC for it got corrupted somehow and there's no way to get it back.

Yep. Quite a bit. I remember the Jedi and Sith packs. I did love my Dark Troopers and my use of land mines.

The DLC added Asajj Ventress and Kit Fisto to the roster of playable heroes and the maps Bespin, Rhen Var Citidel, Rhen Var Harbor, and Yavin 4 Arena. It also allowed you to play hero assault on Kashyyyk and shuffled a few of the selectable heroes around for certain maps and hero assault games.

BF II was an original Xbox game, and the servers for the original Xbox Live were different from those that they use now for the 360. Microsoft stopped supporting Live for the original games a couple years ago I think, so unfortunately I can't play online. I also have the first Battlefront for my desktop computer, but Gameranger won't work on it, so I can't play that one online either. :-( I would if I could though. Battlefront is still one of the classiest games out there. Too bad the studio that was making Battlefront III went bankrupt. Maybe it'll pull a Duke Nukem and we'll just have to wait for 10+ years. :-P

I used to play Battlefront one online but Never played 2 online. Great games though!

Sorry for the nostalgia that follows...

Battlefront 1 is better than BF2, in my opinion. big caveat on the space battles though, and BF2 is much better for that and its Galactic Conquest mode =) Its like a realtime 1st person version of Battlegrounds, how awesome is that?

I recall doing neat tricks in BF1 (flying upside-down in a Geonosian starfighter, landing vehicles on jedi to kill them... ah, the memories =)
Online made the game much better; i used the name Battlefron (original, I know) and played in Oceanic servers. I was alright, and it was really my first online game experience. Lots of teamwork and hours of fun

Skip to BF2, and a lot of stuff changed. The balance of the game broke a lot more; offset by rewarding hardcore players for hours of gameplay invested with perks (galactic general anyone?) Space battles were the only draw for me, and hero wars at mos eispa! That soundtrack was funny the first playthrough, but killed me afterwards haha.

Online, BF2 was much grittier and frankly too competitive for my liking. People forgot that it was a game, and that the players were playing that specific game because they were also fans of the content it was based on. We all had something in common; our love of the series (with gungan reservations of course ) I guess the sportsmanship of the game had changed in the brief meantime, with stuff like COD and MOH and Counter Strike... griefing was epidemic in BF2 from my personal experience.

Well, thats my two cents worth of experience of the BF franchise
What follows is speculation, but I hope that if there is a BF3,
- its based on the Crytek engine
or - has a story styled on an arkham city style plot line (so like, how did Chewy and Han end up on Tatooine?)
and that the multiplayer has more fun in it, smaller squad per side on a large-ish map with objectives, and a bit more strategy (like, reward players for flanking, allow capital ships to be player maneuvered, etc)

@markedman247,
yeah, the skullduggery and hijinks antics of force users in BF2 turned me off that game. That and the comments and grief you'd recieve from babies playing with noob tubes and doing dodgy jedi stuff. Jeez, if i hear one more "Well its in the game, so I can do it" in relation to BF2 i'll scream lol (KAHN!!!!) I owned all in space combat though, thanks to the neat addition of the jink maneuver and being a galactic general (fighters auto heal)

and haha, yeah your nostalgia of geonosis map made me laugh! I did the same thing, or would sneak in and steal a gunship as a droid (back when vehicles didnt have a weak spot lol). To me, Rhen Var Citadel, Bespin and Geonosis were the best maps. If they make a BF3, they should use those maps as templates lol, and learn from it.

I'm surprised that with this topic revival, nobody mentioned the near-hour of leaked footage of a working Battlefront 3. The game apparently was about 90-95% complete when lucasarts pulled the plug (They have also obliterated the video from youtube since the leak).

BF 1 favorite moment: on kassyyk with the towers,playing human-only (no bots), select a side, match. I was the only person playing rebs. 10-1 imps odds. One guy decided to take the last control point by getting out of his at-st walker. I was on the sniper's nest and jumped over. Fell half-way, entered the walker, and kept that point until other Rebs joined in. We lost but tap dancing near repair droid kept me alive for 15 minutes of 10 v 1 odds. Apparently everyone stopped taking control points and focused on me yet the repair droid kept me afloat until help arrived.
