The launch of the "Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection" is a disaster

It should have been a shake-up in power. In a positive sense. But the big comeback of the original "Star Wars: Battlefront" series ended in disaster. Now stolen mods are also causing displeasure.

The reason: 9,232 players were trying to achieve victory on iconic battlefields from "Star Wars: Battlefront", which was first released in 2004 by developer Pandemic Studios. However, only three servers with 64 players each were functioning. As a result, 9,040 battle-ready gamers were stuck in the dark for hours.

And that's not the only problem.

Chronicles of a clusterfuck

In addition, "Star Wars: Battlefront" hardly looks any better than the original, even though the file size of the game has increased tenfold - from the original 7.3 gigabytes to 72.58 gigabytes. Hundreds of users like MightyMeds are disappointed in the Steam reviews:

Currently, "Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection" costs 38.96 francs in the Steam Shop.

Have you played the game yet? What was your experience with the seemingly broken game? Let us know in the comments.

I write about technology as if it were cinema, and about films as if they were real life. Between bits and blockbusters, I’m after stories that move people, not just generate clicks. And yes – sometimes I listen to film scores louder than I probably should.
