A bridge across galaxies.


There has been an awakening... have you felt it? STAR WARS Battlefront II (Classic, 2005), the critically acclaimed shooter of massively entertaining warfare, has received a critical update. Powered by GOG Galaxy, the multiplayer function of the game has now been restored AND with added Crossplay support between GOG Galaxy and Steam to boot.

This long-awaited feature finally brings the entire STAR WARS™ Battlefront™ II community together, no matter which part of the galaxy you come from, so go ahead and jump into the fray.

If you haven't experienced it yet, now's an excellent time to get STAR WARS Battlefront II (Classic, 2005), either on its own or as part of the STAR WARS Saber Bundle. Don't forget to check out the rest of our Force-sensitive deals too, all part of our big Disney Completion Sale.

It still has LAN play available, though, right? I hope so...it wouldn't make sense to remove a working feature.

Can we expect more PC versions of video games that have multiplayer that used GameSpy to get GameSpy removed and get GOG Galaxy or 100% Digital Rights Management (DRM) free multiplayer?

I remember it was like in 2015 or so that a gog.com employee did say they will try to get GameSpy removed from a lot of the PC versions of video games that have multiplayer that used GameSpy.

Is gog.com pushing for this effort more now?

This just made my day, thank you GOG for keeping classic games alive in these modern times.

PS: This game is still better than the new Battlefront, hands down...

IDPLAY: Fantastic news.

Now if only GOG would get the Steam versions of KOTOR 2 and Empire at War.
What's different about the Steam version of KOTOR 2? I have both, but I haven't started a playthrough recently, in if there's a problem...

Good to know. Nothing major then, in my case. I have Widescreen mods and don't care for controller support or cheevos. Thanks for the information though. Awesome.

I think that's a tough question to answer because there are so many factors involved. I know that for BF2 we had access to the source code and Disney's full support which made it possible, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I think that given the right opportunity, most Goglins would love to see it happen more often though.

Goglins? I thought the term was GOGolytes!

Like an acolyte: "a person [user] assisting a priest [gog] in a religious service [drm-cleansing] or procession."

Ok thank you very much for the answer.

I feel confident in fact I feel 100% confident.

I hope Activision gives you guys the source code for TimeShift to get rid of GameSpy, and Ubisoft gives you the source code for World in Conflict to get rid of GameSpy, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment gives you the source code for F.E.A.R and F.E.A.R. 2 to get rid of GameSpy.

Also I hope very much you guys will get to SiN Gold to get GameSpy removed. I seriously hope SiN Gold source code is not lost.

This is what I want the most. When you guys make this a reality for these video games I will be very happy.

I though it was more like troglodyte. Blind worship is more for Gabenites.

Depends who you're referring to.
I'm partial to goglodytes, but around here you'll also find gogres, pedagogs, and demagogues riding winnebagogs.
Plus, I think once I saw a fleeing groundgog.

Been trying for a good while since the announcement to get it to work, but anytime I click the Multiplayer tab, the game crashes. I get it's new, I'm just wondering if anybody else is running into the same issue.

Hmm maybe I should take note of these names and implement them as roles in my unofficial gog discord. :P
