STAR WARS: Battlefront Classic Collection, a new “definitive” collection of Star Wars games that brings the original Battlefront (2004) and Battlefront II (2005) titles from Pandemic Studios and LucasArts to modern platforms, is now available, developer Aspyr Media has announced. The launch of the game has been labeled “awful” by PC players, however, with many on Steam complaining about how the game only had three servers at launch, among other issues.
Critics are saying:
- “First hour of launch. Only have 3 servers to join. Massing about 200 people rounded up. Seriously. W** is this?”
- “…let me get this straight. You launched this game with only 3 servers on PC knowing full well people only bought it for that sole reason?”
- “Probably one of the worst launches of all time, none of us can get in a game and there are only 3 servers lol..”
- “Paid £25 for a PS2 Game, that is worse than the PS2 Game.”
- “this is AWFUL DO NOT BUY THIS until they fix the multiplayer, unless youre like me and didn’t have the old versions anymore theres no point to buy this.”
- “They somehow unfinished a finished game. Impressive.”
The collection includes:
- STAR WARS Battlefront (Classic)

- STAR WARS Battlefront II
- Includes Bonus Maps: Bespin: Cloud City, Rhen Var: Harbor, Rhen Var: Citadel, and Yavin 4: Arena
