We learned last month that Aspyr Media was developing Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection<\/a>, a remastered port combo of Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars: Battlefront II, first released in 2004 and 2005 respectively. This collection is now live but it seems the game is having a rough start at launch, especially for PC players. <\/p>\n

The viral tweet below posted to X (formerly Twitter) early this morning is indicative of many of the problems PC players are experiencing with the game: <\/p>\n

\n

-10,000 people playing on launch night.
\n-Only has 3 servers that have 64 slots for a total of ~200 players.
\n-Multiplayer doesn’t work otherwise.
\n-Price Tag of 35 USD<\/p>\n

Replies to that tweet highlight some of the other issues players are apparently running into: zero options to party up with friends and a lack of expected quality-of-life improvements (@damnitbobbywhy<\/a>), rubberbanding (@SoCalZork<\/a>), and more. However, some players<\/a> are saying the biggest issues, like a low amount of servers and an inability to actually get into matches, were fixed within two hours of launch. <\/p>\n

Over on the Star Wars Battlefront subreddit<\/a>, dozens of users are posting memes about the game’s launch, discussions about connectivity issues, and more. One user posted<\/a> a screenshot of them downloading the original Star Wars Battlefront games on Xbox (through backward compatibility) to play instead of this collection, while another says<\/a> this re-release is “hands down the word video game I have ever paid money for.” It’s clear players on that subreddit are not happy with Aspyr’s Battlefront collection. <\/p>\n

On Steam, the game, which has a price tag of $35.01, has a “mostly negative” rating after 1,407 reviews \u2013 21 percent of the reviews for the game are positive.<\/p>\n
