    Alright, admittedly I never played the previous versions of Star Wars Battlefront even though I am a Star Wars geek. No...my childhood action figures are NOT super glued to my computer for three reasons: 1) the laptop didn't fit in my back pack when I tried that; 2) my wife was embarrassed to be seen with me...even in my own home. 3) you PHILISTINE!!! Who would deface a star wars action figure????

    But I digress. I am super psyched about this game....BUT THERE IS NO INFORMATION. Supposedly it will be released for 2015 holiday season but the teaser trailer is crap, there have been no great models (unless you include the two brief shots in the DICE staffer "making of the game" video) and no real promise of anything else game related. Now I'm not addicted...I can stop any time I want to...It's just that I need a little Star Wars Battlefront fix...that's all. Does anyone else feel this way, but more importantly does anyone know a dealer...I mean have a source of solid Battlefront information?

    Am I the only person geeking out about this game? SPEEDER BIKES...THERE WILL BE SPEEDER BIKES PEOPLE. Do you have any idea how many hours I played with the rebels stealing spider bikes only to have them blow up? (I loved the spring loaded button that make the bikes fall apart in three pieces...Kenner, that was sheer toy genius.)

    Battlefront 2 was amazing, loved playing it back on the Playstation 2. Hopefully this will rekindle those same feelings.

    Battlefront 2 was the better of the two previous games as it did improve it. Unfortunately the servers were hosted on gamespy servers and I do not know if people started private servers after that shut down to keep games going. There were still servers running years after it's release. I even played online a year or two ago and found a server pretty easily. But at that point the community were pretty much pros.

    Battlefront also has the heroes vs villains game in mos eisley spaceport which is awesome. That was awesome playing split screen back in the day. Heroes vs villains had like all the major jedi, sith and other characters from the six films. Grevious to boba fett, mace windu to han solo. The game has a campaign where you start as a clone trooper fighting up to taking over the galaxy as the empire.

    To be honest, battlefront 2 goes on sale at some point every steam sale for years. I used to even always mention it on the site to get more people to play. If you are a star wars fan I would suggest hands down that you pick up battlefront 2 for cheap and play through the campaign. I know the console version had playing games against bots too so I assume pc allowed it too. I know you could start online games and fill it with bots. The bots were actually fun to play against in it too and would keep a constant battle going too.

    The game didn't age well and looks quite old, but the fun game mechanics are still there. Even for all the character and locations in the star wars universe you see is worth it. I would probably bet that there are hd graphics mods available for it too if you want to get them.

    Edit: there is also a game mode where you fight two local forces against each other. Tuskan vs jawas, gungans vs droids, wookies vs droids, etc.

    I am also really looking forward to the new Battlefront, but yeah I don't really know anything about it.

    Battlefront 2 is definitely in my top 5 favorite games of all time, I spent hundreds of hours playing when I was younger, and still play it on occasion. Its actually in my disk drive right now haha
