STAR WARS Battlefront Classic Collection Review Cons:

The camera in Battlefront 1 is all over the place it’s loose and not snappy in any way, even against the second game.
For a game like this, the file size is ridiculously huge.
The control layouts are not the same for both games.
The story campaigns are not that balanced and have a lot of can’t miss a single shot ai enemies.
Struggling to get any games online, it either doesn’t find games or it has high ping and kicks me out.
Still has a horrible spawn camping problem.
The controls are fine but at times it feels like they don’t work for a second here and there.
Online is not the best in terms of performance.
No real enhancements or tweaks its very much just an HD filter with servers.
Waiting to respawn is an assault on your eyes with the camera going all over the place.
Lag is an absolute killer.
Steam achievements are not popping up until I shut the game down.
respawn numbers seem low for the game modes and maps on offer.
Have had actual unbeatable levels in the campaign as the AI is so efficient at doing objectives except your team AI, they go off randomly and I’ve had them just standing at spawn.
