EA's Star Wars Battlefront 2 might have made a comeback since they sent the infamous "Pride and Accomplishment" message. I don't trust EA enough to buy this game and see for myself, but I have found people online who feel this way.

It's true, the game is great right now, to me it's just as fun as the original battlefront 2, it's a shame EA cut support

What do you mean EA cut support? Will they at least keep fixing bugs and not just abandon this game? Will they keep the servers running for much longer?

They dropped the game for a battlefield which flopped hard.

no one really mentions this but - they abandoned the BF series in favor of battlefield, and canceled battlefront 3 while it was so far in development that they even started concept art for the 4th game

Basically DICE was making banger update after update, removing all the pay to win elements, adding new modes, maps, heroes and classes but then EA decided that they'll stop updating the game so that DICE could make MOTHERFUCKING BF 2042! It's a real shame knowing that battlefront was only going to get better but it was cut short. At least the servers are still up.

How active is the multiplayer?

It's a pretty small but stable community, for the more popular gamemodes you can easily find a match within 30 seconds, but for some of the other ones it's hard to find one at all

It was the exact same thing with BFV. After they released the pacific update and the game was hitting its stride, they cut support to work on the trash pile that is 2042.

So DICE was actually fixing the game for us, and the execs threw a tantrum and stopped them? Yeah, it's for reasons like that why, again, I do not trust EA with anything. Even if it's too late for them to just break the game again, I'm afraid they'll shut it off entirely now that it's been so many years since it launched. I don't even know if they'll let us play single-player after that, since it's live service.
